Why wouldn't he be excited to train and fight a boy who has the power of Majin Buu as his starting point? We saw Freeza, who was no match for Goku even before he absorbed god ki and was treated like kid fodder in the 2008 special, become stronger than Goku in just four months and Goku admired Freeza for that, at least in the movie.
And, goku couldn't beat buu on his own, he will definitely want to beat buu at his strongest, and how to bring him to the his strongest? Train the shit out if him..
Majin buu had endless well of energy and kept pulling out more, even managed to push the biggest spirit bomb ever, this was all done when a lot of his power was lost in good buu and he was in his pure form, ie no help of other beings whatsoever in him. he is pure latent energy and talent..
When a person like that is trained by God goku, the potential is limitless, especially because he now also has the intelligence of a human

The dates in DBS have intentionally vague, so they work just fine. What's the issue? The only problem I can think of is Goku's excitement for Oob, which is a little bit of a stretch. Also, the birth dates of Pan and Bra are a little iffy now, but those dates were only from the guide-books to begin with, which we know aren't all that reliable when it comes to new content.
Pan is 4 at the tournament so Goku and Bloomer shouldn't have even met in the Battle of Gods arc.

I think the main reason behind all the excitement isn't because of Bra herself, but more so what this all represents. Super might now possibly have a significant time skip and not be confined to a weird time space where no one seems to change. I'm personally hoping for an older Goten & Trunks. The fact that we're also getting a new intro the episode Bra is acknowledged in Super is giving me further hope that the show will be entering a new stage and have all the young characters age a bit.

If they want to really match it with eoz, there are always Dragonballs to make everyone forget super's events happened..

After berrus sacrifices his life to save them, slowly burning away, he greets death smiling, thinking to himself how much earth has changed him, for him to do such a thing....

Goku tries desperately to revive him, but He can't be revived, no Dragonballs are strong enough to revive such a god now that super Dragonballs are gone in the conflict..
Grand priest offers to revive berrus in one condition, Earth can't remember this horrifying universal event.. As having mortals and god relation's line blurred is what had caused this catastrophe..

Dragonballs are used to remove everyones memories of berrus and his sacrifice..
They forget berrus and whis's existence even future trunks return..

They get to their normal lives, while berrus is the only one remembering everything as whis was inactive when he died..
Berrus slowly flies above earth, remembering the times he spent on earth, now that he is the god of destruction once again and his only "friends" don't know him anymore, he continues to live his life alone, not contacting earth ever again, silently protecting it form the shadows

Pan had not been born then, so it did not contradict the 5 years line.

So that "5 years long time no see" in EoZ was retconned then?
simtek34 wrote:But seriously, I'm excited for them to fight Boo and Freeza and Cell
I could be more if Goku got a decent sparring partner instead of Krillin. I mean okay they are best buddies, but current Goku is worlds above Krillin. Even if are just illusion enemies, it wouldn't make much sense Krillin doing well against post Android arc villians and beyond.

Seeing the Main Z villains fighting together is something I could see Goku doing with Gohan, Piccolo or Vegeta for example.

Believe me mate, many people I talk to just really care about Bra being born for canon issues, is not that we all are cheeing now that she will be a cool character in the future and become revelant to the main plot or whatever.
alakazam^ wrote:Ever since Pan was born that line was ignored since she's 4 at the tournament.
No, since we don't have a official timeline for Super yet, all is just mere speculation.

I've also thought of a similar scenario happening, but Kaioshin would have to fuse with Kibito again and Goku and Vegeta would find themselves to be extremely strong with no reason, though they wouldn't be able to use their God Ki making GT also fit

Honestly I don't think I would like a similar scenario

That makes sense. I don't understand why they can't make the younger characters look older. They were able to for GT, but since then it's somehow difficult.

Even if Goten and Trunks don't age, Bra's birth is another example that time is indeed moving forward, even if the designs don't reflect that. As the character designs stay stagnant it is nice to have the occasional reminder that time is moving forward and that makes end of Z seem that much more in reach. I don't care about Bra like I do Pan and Uub, but her birth is another significant milestone in reaching the end of Z and that's exciting.

Not necessarily/at this moment. That line still works if we think that they rounded it up. If the story gets passed AGE 780, then yes, it'll be retconned.

So guys, what do you think Bra's role will be in Super? A lot of people are expecting Pan to become relevant if we go past EOZ, so do you think Bra will too? Will she become like her mother or father? What type of personality do you want for her?

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.

I think the most likely scenario would be her taking after he mother and being a super genius, but I wouldn't be opposed to her being a fighter as well.

She can be anything but a spoiled" I am a princess syndrome " girl..
Honestly those are the most irritating type of people to exist..

Bra won't have much of a role in super, babies can't really contribute too much..

Sure, that's what I've been saying for some time but, either way, something has already been retconned.

Pan being 4 at the tournament means that Bloomer and Goku haven't met ever since she was born, which includes Viidel's pregnancy. Of course, Pan's birthday probably isn't in the same day as the tournament so there's leeway for Battle of Gods to not retcon anything regarding the end of the manga but everything after Pan is alreadyy out does, especially now that Goku sees Bloomer pregnant with Bra.

Time is moving forward, Toei clearly wants to do stuff with Pan, Dragon Ball is not going anywhere any time soon.
If Super doesn't reach end of Z it will be because it is replaced by a sequel series that does.
I'm will to bet we'll get there by 2020 at the very latest.
