No way they forgot about Bra or that the new generation must grow up, if they remember little stuff like this. They are most likely just waiting for Toriyama to come up with new designs.
Only if they could also remember how power scaling is important to this series. (It is good to keep fans sanity intact)
Maybe Toei is trolling us :D
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

Yeah, but I think is probably because Toei staff changed a lot by the time DBZ was airing on TV in Japan. Some may be having their first time working in the franchise, I don't know... Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Merry Christmas!

The best that starts at the end of the PV for next arc is the next opening theme.

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.

The next new episode looks like a bit of a rehash of the Saiyaman movie episode from DBZ, but its giving Gohan spotlight again so I can't complain. To bad Videl can't put on her Saiyaman costume too.

Thank you because I thought there was already something like this but since I wasn't a fan of that mini arc of Z I didn't care to look for myself and confirm it. It would have been a better episode if she was involved in it too. Personally I'm skipping this one.

You can hear a sample at the end of the trailer for the next arc (no vocals though). And it'll start right alongside the arc in February.

I think most of Toei's creative staff just doesn't care about consistent power scaling. Power scaling in most Toei original shows is a joke.

That blue hand on the right makes this look weird to me. They're in order God-Kai-god-kai but before that big God there's an extra blue hand.

The reason I don't have a problem with the paradox of Goku Black is that the dangers of meddling with time have been voiced repeatedly by several characters. Time manipulation is against galactic law and even laws which apply to gods. Heck, the gods themselves have a very shaky understanding of the consequences of time travel. The Goku Black paradox is exactly the kind of thing all these characters have been warning against, and eventually lead to the whole timeline being destroyed.

I have issues with the anime, but overall I think it's a much better product than the manga which is beyond skeletal. At the end of the second volume of the original Dragon Ball manga we'd just concluded the first story arc, which translated into a very well-paced 13 episodes of anime, to put things in perspective. At the end of the second manga volume of Super we're already into Super's 4th story arc.

There was a Toriyama interview in Super's 1st manga volume so hopefully we'll get another one with the 2nd volume.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

That's assuming we get anything about the first episode of the new arc in it, they might just leave the title and description blank.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got something from V-Jump though, I'd love to see some God of Destruction designs.

The second volume already came out.
