"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[JoeCapricorn]

I pronounce it "Cabə"

I think the final vowel is a schwa.

What if after those first few episodes there is another time skip to the '4 years later?' if that makes sense.

It's not possible because Beers is already awaken when Goku goes to Kaiou's and everything up to their battle happens in sequence (more or less).

[Hugo Boss]

Man, those covers suck. They all look so poorly designed and edited.

Well, I think Vegeta in DVD Cover #1 is fine. Cover #5 is my favorite. Goku also looks good in Cover #8, but the edition looks bad. The others didn't interest me.

Is it just me, or does Toriyama prefer introducing new characters as duos? Beerus & Whis, Vegeta & Nappa, Tien & Chiautzo, Champa & Vados, Android 19 & 20, Spopovich & Yamu, Yamcha & Puar, etc?

These new characters are a duo in Super as well. Interesting trend.

He's gone on record to say he does this to allow the characters to provide exposition more naturally than needing to use a narrator.

So I went back and watched a lot of the series and have a few things to say. The bog arc was good but damn that ROF arc animation. It really went downhill around episode 23. Hope we never get that bad again. There were a few episodes that were much better than I remembered. 10, 22, 33 and 12 especially. 12 still isnt a great episode but it isn't horrible like i remember. 33,22, and 10 are actually very enjoyable episodes imo. i also noticed how Vados said "I promised you would help him with his work" when referring to Frost. The first time I along with a lot of you assumed the peace keeping, but I guess they kept it vague for a reason.

Hell yeah. 22 is one of my favorites after 34 and 39.

I'm just at the beginning but Yamamuro said that anything regarding a new movie will be up to Toriyama including it's name.

He hopes there'll be a new movie out next year.

He has full control over DB due to him being the creator.

In the older movies, he worked on the layout of the characters. and provided the basic ideas. (for the plot ?)

Yamamuro would like to have Broly be in the TV series and get a 4th movie.

Although Broly is dead, he thinks he could be brought back.

They could have a movie set between old events.

Children are Super's target unlike the movies which target adults as well.

Regarding GT's connection to Super :

Spoiler:

[Commentator] What do you think of the new transformations of Super Dragon Ball: Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue? Because it seems they have forgotten the Super Saiyan 4 GT, what do you think?

[Yamamuro] Historically, in the arc Buu, he transforms into Super Saiyan 3 ... And about Super Saiyan God, it appears in the Resurrection 'F'. And after that appears DB GT and Super Saiyan 4.

[Commentator] You do not think this is a way Akira Toriyama has to say, DB GT is not part of the original Dragon Ball world, it will not use this transformation?

[Yamamuro] Actually, yes, in the TV series it is logical that there is a link between Dragon Ball GT and DB, but there are also things that draw more than a spin-off. of different things. The original script is the Toei, no Toriyama.

Each episode takes up to a month and a half to make and has 3500 plates while a movie has 15000 plates and a year and a half to work on.

Regarding Super's 5th episode :

Spoiler:

[Commentator] Sorry for the next question, but it's something the fans on twitter really want to know. What do you think of the controversy generated by episode 5 Super Dragon Ball?

[Yamamuro] The animation is movement. Someone just took a movement in the lot and put it on the internet, so the right thing to do is to assess the overall scene.

Dragon Ball will go on for as long as fans want it to (I guess he means as long as they support it) so Super and the movies are here to stay.

[Chuquita]

I still think Brolli's chances for showing back up are slim after his creator (Koyama Sr.) said how he disliked Beerus publicly.

So I did all that for nothing.

JulieYBM (i think that's how we wrote the username, sorry if it's not) had subtmitted it on Ajay's topic about animation.
I'm sorry...

[sintzu]

In terms of EP5, they should just tell everyone what really happened, they didn't have enough time and messed up. instead of trying to make it look like fans are the problem.

Dragon Ball is here to stay, weather that's good or bad will depend on who you ask and what we get.

[JulieYBM]

The Broli comment is less Yamamuro wanting something and more him not really caring wither way.

[TheMikado]

From the translation it sounds like there's a chance they could bring Broli back and link Super to GT?? That would make all kinds of heads on this board explode! Broly not being canon would be erased I assume?

[Sodhi]

Guys remember, Yamamuro has no control over the story. These are just his thought and comments.

Based on this, I don't think we'll be seeing it line up with GT.

[Commentator] Don't you think that it's the Akira Toriyama way to say that, as DBGT is not part of the original Dragon Ball world, he is not gonna use that transformation?

[Yamamuro] Yeah, well, in the TV shows it's logical that there has to be a connection between Dragon Ball and DBGT, but it also have some features more typical of a spin-off. A different thing, The original script is from Toei, not from Akira Toriyama.

In terms of Broly, he's popular and sells toys and heroes' cards so it's very possible.

Toriyama changed an already popular story, Bardock's to fit with his story so it could happen again with Broly.

[Sandubadear]

Toriyama changed an already popular story, Bardock's to fit with his story so it could happen again with Broly.

The only difference is that Toriyama likes Bardock.

[Speedster]

And who told you that Toriyama dislikes Broly? And I am not even a Broly fan myself. In fact I dislike Broly and I hate the comments of his fans who think he can beat everyone but that's besides the point. The fact of the matter is that we have no idea if Toriyama DOESN'T LIKE Broly and it is possible (though not probable) to pull a Bardock and fit Broly in the canon continuity. If that happens I hope the backstory is not as bad as DB minus.

It appears to me that whatever happens in Super, unless it goes past the EoZ, Toei considers GT as their spin-off continuation of all the canon story that preceded it historically in the timeline including the events of Super we saw so far. If Toei wants to fit GT as a continuation of the canon timeline (instead of having a timeline split after the Buu arc) then they can no matter what the fans say. There isn't too much misfit anyway. Goku and Vegeta can still go yellow SSJ and for all we know at some point they might had become able to access their SSG power boost in that form rendering the Blue form transformation (which according to Goku consumes a lot of stamina) obsolete. Kaioshin and Kibito might have goofed up with the potara and merged again. See? It fits!

I didn't say Toriyama dislikes Broly. Toriyama never acknowledged Broly, though, like he did with Bardock.
