I like that it happened to have dire consequences not just for the Pilaf Gang, but also for the Z gang, as there would be no next time, as the androids killed Piccolo and therefore Kami, making the DBs stay inactive forever.
Actually, Gohan is yelling "Piccolo!". I think the idea might be that they made the wish right before Piccolo died (thus the dragonballs falling to the ground, rather than flying away). They might have still stolen a wish that might have been used to save his life though, depending on how the previous page goes (maybe Piccolo was slowly dying and Gohan and Bulma were there to save him, or Piccolo was just instantly killed and Gohan and Bulma being there is just a coincidence).

It's just his character design sheet from BoG. It's green because Toriyama colored him that when making the design for that movie.
Do these concept pictures mean that they are the only relevant characters in this arc?

Not at all!
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

The future Trunks pages are from/for SD and The Pilaf page looks to be by Toyotaro, it'll more than likely be included in the second volume of Super. Don't know if this has been posted or not but more Toyotaro art work I believe!

I would not be surprised if it is though but there is no Zeno there and Toriyama said he will be appear.

I imagine Zeno will be involved much later in this saga once things start to get crazy. I'm super intrigued to see how he gets pulled into all of this.

I wish Toyotaro could replace Yamamuro as character designer for the show.

Oh, I'm looking forward to finding out exactly what they were going to wish for then.

Did he style his autograph after Toriyama's :?
Or perhaps they are kinda similar because he doesn't write his real name and Toyotaro starts out the same like Toriyama?
Oh and there's a cameo by Zeno there!

Seems like my DBS hiatus is likely to continue for a little while longer... (which is a shame considering I'm quite digging Toriyama's ideas for this arc, it's just Toei's crappy anime adaptation keeps hindering the potential of this story. Thank Kami we have Toyotaro)

Maybe you should actually watch the arc from the beginning.

It's indeed a shame that a good story is being dragged down to a DBGT level anime, because of the godawful animation and the retarded faces that are drawn.

What do you mean? I already did, I was loving it during the first two episodes but they lost me once they started ruining the tone and tension of the arc with the Pilaf gang being shoehorned into every single episode and Goku acting like a mongoloid.

I agree with this. There's no good reason for Pilaf to be there anymore. All the tension they built up has been ruined.

Are you sure? Seems like good evidence that they are.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Damn son! That's hilarious and messed up!

Still, doesn't explain why fucking no one in the afterlife asks Kaio to contact New Namek :P
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I've been having all kinds of crazy ideas in my head that i can't seem to formulate them into a solid theory lol.


Anyways, one thing i was thinking of is Zamasu's ki. It's said in the episode that it's very similar but not exactly. What if he has an ability to extract the power/ki of people he encounters? I realize this doesn't make any sense but I'm trying to think of different possibilities. Black improves and learns the fighting style of people he faces from what it seems, maybe that's what the one Potara effect does? It doesn't fuse the entire persons body into your own but rather their ki/fighting ability?


Idk if I'm still making sense but lol hopefully someone might know what I'm trying to say.

Do you guys think that Black was created the time after Zamasu meet Goku? Something like a time paradox?

Well, July is over and we didn't get our deserved third movie announcement. That sucks.

Gt was nowhere near this bad in both production and writing
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.
