"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Sandubadear]

Yeah... they should have aged the Slump characters. At least they remembered that Mashirito is dead.

And Toriyama should appear too!

[namekiansaiyan]

Piccolo will definitely get a role, he always get a role even if its a small one like in U6 and Mirai Trunks Arc.

I agree with the guy that says this should go the Detective Conan way in finding out where Hit is and who assigned him to kill Goku. Perfect excuse for the Gang to visit all of the Universes.

Exactly Piccolo always gets a role no matter how small.

I just want everyone to gey onto a space adventure and visiting new planets and universes so we get loads of different new characters and fights.

第071話「Goku Dies! Assassination order that must be performed」（12/18）
"The return of the most powerful assassin! The super explosive assassination technique !!" The rest says that the strongest assassin of the universe is here, its target would be Goku, the identity of the person behind this ...]

....

So who do u think is the one that hired Hit?

Zeno guards? Vados? One of the unknown Hakaishin? Gowasu?

If this anything like the Black arc we won't find out ASAP they'll probably drag the mystery out.

[SansrivaaL]

It sounds more like an order that must be done rather than literally Goku dies (it says "That MUST be performed" ). Tho I do hope they recast Gohan and Goten, that may be the reason as to why they werent present in the FT arc and these upcoming ones could get affected. Voicing Goku alone should be too much for her lungs as well, cause of Goku's hyper energetic way of talking.

[Lord Beerus]

I absolutely adore grease-ball lawyer Goku. I hope to God this outfit and hairstyle is not a one time deal.

Decent art is this our buddy Yamamuro?

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Yep. That's 100% Yamamuro.

I called it, It's Monaka paying with all that gold he received from Beerus. He is preventing himself from being embarrased again and go to that tournament.
Just kidding but it would be great for me.

Someone completely new and unrelated or it called be domeone like the king of Sadal thinking Goku is a bad saiyan or something and maybe Vegeta is the next target after Goku.

How many episodes do these cover? It almost looks like this one only has #46 and #47.

[Kanassa]

I still think the "That MUST be performed" part is supposed to imply something important.

[Legion]

I hope that is not another villain obsessed with Goku.

[FortuneSSJ]

So Nozawa actually asked for Gohan and Goten to not appear in this episode, because she's still tired of FT Trunks arc.
I actually talked about this possibility months ago, when trying to figure out why Gohan/Goten are always out of the frontlines since Champa arc. Seems like it's true.

It's understandable since she's 80 years old, but I don't like how these two have to be away because the voice actor can't keep up. It's not like in this episode they would do much, but they always getting out of the picture whenever a major arcs happens it's getting annoying. Toei should start looking for Nozawa's successor, because the time is coming.

- Goku's new haircut-
Never thought the day would come where I would see Goku with new hairstyle. What a Sir! Approved!

-Toyotaro's poster-
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Don't like how Merged Zamasu looks like a Jojo's character. Like everything else.

*Back to play FFXV*

[dragonballhero]

Is that Goku's next visual from the next episode!? What the hell! How/what the hell Goku did to make his hair like that!? Damn, Dragon Ball Evolution is real!

Now I want to see how he looks like as a Super Saiyan with that hair!

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Holy crap, Goku looking sharp! Never thought I see something like THIS! I bet you the moment he powers up, all of this is undone.

The doctor Slump cast too
[spoiler][/spoiler]
And people thought Goten and Trunks not aging was bad.

Always awesome to see the Dr. Slump cast, though, shouldn't Nitro and their third child (Max, I think was his name?) be born by now? Also, I see they went with their 1980s designs rather 1990s. I must be one of the few who actually kind of liked those redesigns, huh?

Also, I wonder how Gohan and Goten are going to be handled. Can anyone think of some new voice actors for them?

They'res definitely episode 48 there. There is the time machine and Shimanuki

[Anime Kitten]

Yeah, I noticed after I posted that there's six images, and two are from #46. So it has three episodes.

I hope these make it to North America, because I would buy them instantly.

[ekrolo2]

Yamamuro deserves a lot of shit but I really do like the cover for that, it's probably the best thing he's done lately.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I think he becoming a Super Saiyan would be the same hairstyle, there's no way this gel to be that powerful

I'm the only that thought Goku with this look remembers me of Astro Boy? lol

Goku dies.... I am way more happy about this than I should be...

What?! Was this confirmed? Damn, what a lame to kill the main character just for funsies in a filler arc, stupid Toei

Why do people still think that characters receving toys mean they will appear in the anime series? I don't understand.

Because this was revelead way before we know blue haired SSJs were a thing in the RoF movie.

So Nozawa actually asked for Gohan and Goten to not appear in this episode, because she's still tired of FT Trunks arc.

Er... For realsies? People should really stop talking things as stated facts, did Nozawa actually said that in a interview or something or this is just assumption?

[Doctor.]

It's been confirmed.

It's been confirmed.

Oh, I see... Well, I think is natural for a woman in her age, I hope she doesn't get sick though

[Lord Beerus]

Just puts in perspective how much effort she pours in her performances, especially for her age. She's a once in a generation seiyuu.
