This is Super we're talking about where an inferior Freeza outfought a SSB. Freeza, who couldn't touch a SSJ1 trained in hilarious writing fashion and such a short time to become at SSB level in ...who am I kidding I'm still baffled by that lol. The writing doesn't make much sense and they just say ''oh he trained a bit and boom he is as good as the story needs him to be because logic !''. They don't even bother with buildups anymore they just tell you ''he's now reached insane levels'' how and when doesn't matter you just go with it.

I like Future Trunks, always have. He brings possibilities.
I HATE evil Goku idea. I'm going to wait it out but based on the past arcs and especially ROF I'm not holding my breath. There should just be 1 Goku at all times and it should be our Goku. If you need a villain be creative come up with something else, more unique and different.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised with anything involving time travel. There's so much that could happen!

They're well aware that some fans will still read/watch it no matter how bad/cliche the shit they come up with is.

This is awesome! Too all the people saying fan fiction, I kind of get what your saying but this is mostly the original authors work so by default its not fan fiction. Yeah sure the premise of an evil Goku is kind of cheesy, but based on this interview and the official description below I can already tell I'll like how they are going about it. Also I'm just f**king excited to see Trunks back!

I really hope Trunks mentions something about Buu, like maybe he dealt with him easily just by killing dabura and babidi and so buu never hatched. Also now that kid Trunks isn't a baby their interactions are going to be pretty awesome.

I don't know about that. I think there's a better chance 'black Goku' ends up being timebreaker Bardock since Trunks is returning.

To be honest, I have never been so excited for a saga since Super started.

I am a Super fan, but I got to be honest. The Black Goku idea sounds very bad. I love the idea of bringing Trunks back and explore not only the other Universes, but also the other Universes' different timelines, but the Goku Black idea dulls my excitement for the story. It is Toriyama though and he is known to subvert expectations and play with tropes, so if it is executed well I will change my opinion, but as it stands I can't say I am dying to watch this.

That's what I was thinking. The green sweater. This could be the backstory to Time Patrol Trunks. :D With time travel, DBS could last forever. A spin-off with Trunks would be cool too. :thumbup:

"With Goku and the gang having finished the tournament against Universe 6, Trunks returns from the future and appears before them."

Does this mean that yesterday's and the upcoming 5 episodes are originally from Toei ?

I'm hoping for a Black skinned Goku. If they're gonna start introducing wacky ideas, I'm fine with that.

That line is from TOEI. The bottom one i think is the one that came from Toriyama.

I'm hoping something similar to this, if that's the case.

I was talking about the episodes we'll be getting from now till then, with them not mentioning the...Monaka arc ? I was wondering if it's because it isn't from Toriyama.
