Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I like his motivations so far with his idea of "the sake of justice" and humans are a failure to god. It's better than what Tullece was in Tree of Might, who just want to come to Earth to plant the tree, find Goku and kill everyone. Not to mention there is a lot of mystery behind his character and Masako Nozawa does a great job on giving a very creepy and dark tone of voice for him.
When you say in the show you mean "Dragon Ball Super", right? Then I agree, but let's tone down a little bit, we know little about Black yet, If he is in fact Zamasu that would be nice than just a random character that looks like Goku, but at same time it would ruin his character too me, I would like they to be separate entities. I also agree about Nozawa outstanding performance as Black voice, it's way better than Tullece.

Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

As far as Super goes, he is the best villain so far. But really look at his competition. Beerus isn't really a villain, but really just the antagonist. Freeza was laughably terrible and moronic. Champa is again, an antagonist in an arc without a real villain. Which leaves Black as really the only interesting villain. He could still bomb, but he hardly has competition at all to be the best villain in Super.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Toriyama is saying that he's having trouble with Toei over who should be U10's destroyer, Toei wants it to be Hilary Clinton while he wants it to be Donald Trump.

He also says that getting the rights to use them is taking too long so he might go with Obama instead cause he's being a lot more cooperative.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Hahaha, thanks to Google-Translator I can understand that says something very similar to what is said in the advance of Chapter 52, but I like to have more accurate translations of synopses.

Nothing particularly new. Just says Goku and the others head to Universe 10's Kaioshin Realm to investigate Goku Black's identity. There they find Zamasu, the battle genius Kaioshin apprentice who a curious Goku challenges to a match.

That's very different from what I got on Google translator, I knew it wasn't great but that's a whole new level of inaccuracy. :lol:

Seriously? I thought you made that up. :lol: Never trust Google Translate 100%, I guess.

I suspect the first Goku VS Beerus again. Anyone else notice Zamasu was about to chop Goku's shoulder in the NEP?

Thank you very much ^^

No, a great level of inaccuracy not, but Google-Translator doesn't translate well the adjectives, for example, and other details which makes it difficult to adapt the text and can not be presented as a valid and accurate translation to the people ^^

I wonder if the next episode will look better or about the same because of the one week break. Probably not, since they'll just use the week for something else right? Part of me wishes like we had Super in 12-13 episode season intervals but we'd probably still be in the RoF arc if even that.

Episode 5 came after a one-week break. I don't know if it's particularly going to help.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Zamasu's part mentions he could be something like a Kaioushin assistant (we know he's a trainee but whatever). It also says his "earing" has different color than the one Goku Black has.

Mai's part mentions we currently don't know if she's alive or dead (sorry, but we do).

Goku Black's part mentions he seems to be the type of powering up the more he fights, just like Goku. It also mentions his earing looks like a Potara, "but...".

The bottom part describes the arc up until know and it says "could it be that Black's real appearance is a different one, and he looks just like Goku because of a fusing technique like Fusion or such? The key to this mystery is Zamasu, the yadda yadda yadda guy in the opening yadda yadda yadda that dresses like a Kaioushin".

My "Black's potara earring is a body change item" theory is gaining steam :D
But since it also speculated about fusion, perhaps that's pretty much them spilling the beans on it being that instead of my theory.
