Basically, trying to be different, but half-assing it so the very idea of doing something different gets tainted.
What do you mean poorly??? because of the dark ending and not happy ending??
Nah, because of the idea of letting Trunks catch up in power by giving him a new form with no context and no explanation. And then having him show up and save the day kind of out of nowhere. It made people complain Trunks was too much of a 'Gary Stu' and shouldn't ever come back to the series.
but the ending destroyed that statement

This doesn't only go for the next arc, but I'm afraid that this series already reached its peak with the Goku Black arc. Same way GT peaked too early with the Bebi saga.

The animation looking bad and bad fight choreography.
TBH just make the animation and fight choreography cool and I'll take anything as it is, Toriyama's a good story teller from my perspective so him being involved in the story and writing what actually needs to happen, like how it begins and how it ends is more than enough for me to sit through it and watch it, despite my hate on how they treated Trunks with all the random BS powerups and spirit sword which even he had no idea how that happened, as a means to just make him relevant on how the arc finishes, I'm a big fan on the story with time paradox stuffs and Black being such a great antagonist in it, only downfall was when he merged with Zamasu, good thing Vegito came in but dude didnt even last an episode.....
I actually find it hard for them to top up Black arc, that may also be one of my fears, that they wont be able to make a better arc than that.

That we will get so many retcons and plotholes without a decent justification. Also things being redundant. The Saiyans getting their behinds kicked then travelling back to the present, then going back and getting beat again, then going back to the present; this was a big annoyance of the Zamasu Arc.

I'm also worried that anything to come won't top this subpar FT Arc.

I'm going to assume that "the next arc" in this case is the arc Toyotarou will be ahead of the anime in. I don't have one specific biggest fear, so here's a few picks:
  • Still no time-skip, we're temporal limbo in Age 780 forever
  • We go back to The Goku & Vegeta Show
  • Gohan is kicked all the way up to Goku and Vegeta's level through uncharacteristic, contrived reasons just because fanservice (I'm not 100 % against the idea itself, but it has to be done properly)
  • SPEEDY SPEED ARC, PACING IS BLINDING ME / SPEEDY SPEED ARC, AS FAST AS IT CAN BE ( :shifty: )
  • Whoever the main villain is has no personality (Black might have spoiled us a little, but still) and is straight up boring

The pacing above everything else, then the writing and then animation.

The next villain is either going to be too stupid or too serious, Zamasu was an awesome blend of the spectrum.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

I am afraid that it would be so good that people might forget how awesome the Zamasu Arc was.
Super pretty much continues to improve every Arc

I'll get bored by it. The Resurrection F arc came dangerously close to that point.

Count me in :lol: not because i fear this but because knowing Toriyama and Toei, i doubt any of this won't happen.
Maybe after this arc there's some change.....
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

It's Gohan... I never want to see Gohan even a weakling like 69 episodes before - they're killing him!

Deliberately leaving certain characters out when it makes sense for them to be involved in the action. For example Piccolo and the Mafuba.

It definitely makes sense for Uub to be the 5th fighter as universe 7 need one so for that to happen it will have to be some time in the future.

I definitely think it will not just be them 2 as not much will happen in the arc otherwise . Trunks made things happen so Vegeta and Goku could do their stuff.
