Would be nice if Toei dragged this arc out until the next arc instead of a "filler"

[HeroR]

So call it a spoiler.... Fusion is a given if you need confirmation by Akira Toriyama himself that's your problem.

A side comment from Heroes is hardly a full confirmation like some are saying, unlike Merge Zamasu which was in the episode title for weeks. And if I chose not see it as a technical confirmation, yes it's my business. So, step off.

No. Z suffered greatly because of that don't need the same happening here.

Yeah, I'd much rather 1-2 months for filler or slice of life stuff than dragging something out more than it needs to be. The current arc has pretty solid pacing, but there are certainly already a few spots that they dragged a few things out for longer than they needed to, so dragging this arc out for an extra month or two in the final battle would be really lame.

[Cetra]

If that world expansion peaceful slice of life or whatever people want to call it, is as entertaining as I expect it to be from Dragon Ball, I cant wait for it.

[Noah]

So, there's no reveal about the next episode title, right? Is this because the arc is indeed ending?

[Nejishiki]

It's because the magazine that reveals episode titles hasn't released yet. I'm not sure why the subject persists this month due to obvious faked attempts. It has a consistent schedule. Nevermind that we don't always receive episode titles for the month.

Yea..
I would much rather have some filler in fights themselves..
Make them stand around.. make them powerup, show how badass they can be..
Sure the current Pacing is fast.. more than fast at someplaces..
I wouldn't mind having a slow long DBZ style one too..

[Cetra]

I would be interested in, if we want to call it "filler", what people would be interested in seeing?

Goku starting Pan's training. There is so much they could do there and it has so much potential for heart warming moments like the last time we had a Goku and Pan episode, only over the course of a multiple episodes!

[Nejishiki]

With integrating established elements in mind, it would probably be alright if a Hakaishin from another universe wanted Future Trunks' era for themselves. It currently lacks gods of its own, so they would see it as a larger vacation spot. Manipulating their partner Kaioshin to secretly allow these time crossings probably wouldn't fly. They would simultaneously neglect duties and break taboo. Similar to how Beerus is called out for his excessive napping, the Hakaishin in this story would be cited as missing all of the time without known explanation.

Excatly, I know some people hated the fist-clash between beerus and goku, but I loved it. The build up the clash the power ups. Don't mind if it will be the next 10 episodes haha.

I would more love the return of Hit but I guess that would be a thing for a "non-filler" arc. At least when it comes to something bigger.

So...sort of a "Pan arc", right? I'd like that.

I think they do need slightly longer SoL/Toei original arcs because unlike Toyo who has a monthly schedule they have a weekly one and this way it gives the writers a longer time to get good scripts out for the arc and it's gives them longer to work out the kinks for example in this arc if they had enough time like Toyo maybe they could have explained the time paradox a lot more. Having said that I think script wise this arc has been the best so far so I do hope the next arc does start in Jan and this one finishes pretty soon.

[ArchedThunder]

Speaking of what will fill the time between arcs this time, I hope they don't come up with a new villain with a big back story and an original world and original designs. Super's schedule is already rough enough, they don't need to waste time building new worlds to fill the time between arcs like they did with the Copy Vegeta arc.

[Chelentano]

Yeah! Dragon Ball Super and Fukkatsu no "F" mangas confirmed for Spain in the coming months. They will launch the complete volumes and every individual chapter in comic-book format, continuing with the design and numeration that they followed in the 90's.

I think I am the only one here who doesn't like episodes with pan..
Goku training her is fine and all.. but i am very scared she will become a mirror of her gt self.. especially since toie will write her dialogue and not toriyama..

I would much rather have pan as a side character like krillin.. let uub fill in the role of gokus student instead

The writers for Super didn't write for GT so that shouldn't be anything to worry about. Besides, her dialogue would be based off of what kind of character Toriyama tells them she is, just like all the Super original characters who we've seen act the same between the anime and manga.
If Pan continues off of how she was portrayed at the end of Z and became a main cast member I don't think she'd end up anything like she did in Z, she'd probably be like a smarter kid Goku.

After Goku goes off to train Uub I imagine someone else would pick up Pan's training and honestly I would love it if that person was Vegeta. Imagine Uub with an orange Gi and Pan with armor based on Vegeta's, how awesome would that be?

Does anyone know when the subs for the UK went up? I don't really fancy staying up 1am for the live stream but if it's within that hour then I'll probably watch the live with the subs after.
