"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

Not having Piccolo or Gohan in the poster worries me. It's probably a sign that those 2 won't do anything meaningful in this arc.....sigh

Dude its a cover...relax mate

[pacz360]

About Fem Broly I wonder what will she do in the show.

I think she is Cabbas sister because he got triggered when Vegeta told him he was going to kill his family(when he was provoking him so he could turn SSJ). Toriyama might make her shipping material and who knows maybe she will end up with Frost? It cant be any weirder than Mai and Trunks right?

Nobody knows we'll just have to wait and see .

[precita]

Toei can't be that stupid to promote all the older characters returning just to have them lose. Even if Toriyama doesn't care, I'm sure Toei will do something to give every character some spotlight.

Not even a cover, it's a poster featured as a magazine bonus.

Unless they don't care enough about that and just follows a possible Toriyama script that has many of the non Goku/Vegeta characters get wrecked. Though as I've said before, it makes no sense for Tori to shaft all 8 of the other members when if he was going to shaft the non Goku/Vegeta characters, he could have just left the us with 5-man teams. 17 coming back definitely gives him a good chance of having a decent showing. 18's blurb in Jump implies there'll be some form of team battles with 17 or Kuririn, which lends way for her and Kuririn possibly doing something. My question is, how could anyone (previous page I think) say someone like Piccolo could be used as a hype tool? Piccolo (like every other non Goku/Vegeta character on U7) is a fodder to Goku/Vegeta tier fighters. If you're going to be using any of them to hype an opponent, they better at least win a good fight before needing to lose.

It seems you didn't watched the Champa arc.

Buu and Piccolo were hyped up and they got screwed over. Monaka was also shown to be weak and a waste of a spot. I wouldn't be surprised if Buu,Tien,18, and sadly Piccolo all end up jobbing.

I'd laugh my ass off if they ship her with Yamcha.

What gives me hope is that it'll be team battles. Whoever teams up with Goku and or Vegeta should be at least given a chance to help them instead of being one hit KO'd right ... Right ?

In all honesty, I'm certain that Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, the andriods, and Krillin are safe.

Gohan because he is getting some hype in the last episodes, and Goku is on his side by the looks of the preview. Even if he loses Goku won't let his son stay a jobber.

Krillin got an action scene in the trailer, and he is even stated to be in a team battle(most likely) with the androids. I think that at least means he'll get an okay fight.

The androids are coming back after a while and are going to be in a team battle(most likely. They are definitely getting more promotion than buu or Piccolo did in the u6 arc. It really would be absurd to shaft them, even for Toriyama.

Goku and Vegeta main characters.

The other 4 are unknown for now. I imagine if any one is getting screwed over, Roshi or buu will be first. Followed by Tien, and then Piccolo. Not even saying they will it's just an if statement.

[kinisking]

I think 17 will have a magnificent showing. They're not bringing him back for nothing.

Roshi will probably have the comedy relief match of the tournament, every tournament has had at least 1 comedy match.

Budokai 21: Ranfan vs Nam, Bacterian vs Krillin
Budokai 22: Krillin vs Chatzu
Budokai 23: Kami vs Yajirobe/ Yamcha vs Kami
Budokai 25: Punta vs Krillin, 18 vs Mr Satan
Budokai 28? Pan vs that giant guy
Champa tournament: Hit vs Monaca, Vegeta vs Magetta in the manga.

Since Toei likes to recycle stuff from old DB, I can see Roshi facing a hot alien girl, basically Nam vs Ranfan 2.0.

No one cares about Buu so I wont mind if he jobs, Tenshihan could be relevant if they bother making his third eye a plot devise, and that leaves Piccolo who hasnt won a match in decades.

Wait a minute, has Piccolo ever won a fight by himself ?

[perucho1990]

Vs Dr Gero, and that was like 25 years ago.

[TheMathemagician]

Pretty much how I feel. I don't think Tori would bring 17 back if he was going to have him get shafted. From all we know, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Kuririn, and the Artificial Humans could appear to be the ones most likely to get a good performance. Of course that's if we believe that Gohan and Kuririn getting focus these past few episodes actually does end up meaning something. If not, one could easily assume Gohan and Kuririn aren't being built up for anything and they could easily get shafted as well. There'd definitely be a lot of rage if Gohan and or Piccolo get shafted (and for good reason).

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I think it should have been made clear that Piccolo was about to win against 17 and then cell ironically saves 17's life.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Guys... RoF happened. Don't expect gold from #17.

[perucho1990]

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I think it should have been made clear that Piccolo was about to win against 17 and then cell ironically saves 17's life.

It was the opposite way, Piccolo was very worn out and 17 not because Artificial humans have infinite stamina.

Besides Goku and Vegeta, I also see the androids, Krillin and Gohan getting good treatments.

In Krillins case its most likely because of having the same voice as Luffy(OP is Toei flagship show) and lets be glad Toei likes Gohan and might have some plans for him.

Thing when I said Piccolo might be the jabronie of the team is because he has been treated as a very minor character, even mocked in the Trunks saga when he was gonna tell Goku how to use the Mafuba.

With Toriyama being a forgetful mangaka, he mightve forgotten Piccolo was his favorite character

[Dbzfan94]

I'm also gonna take another guess and say Goku personally gives him one of his old Gi's.

Or he goes to Piccolo
Gohan: Hey, Mr Piccolo?
Piccolo: You want me to use my clothes beam?
Gohan: Yeah, for the tournament
Piccolo: Oh, do you want your old purple gi?
Gohan: Nah, I want Dad's Gi. You know, my ACTUAL father.
Piccolo: ...

I'd like to see that, just to spite the people who like to say "Piccolo is Gohan's real father"

That's too malicious for Gohan. It's not like Piccolo actually considers himself like a dad to gohan.

Gohan: Hey, Piccolo? Can you use your clothes beam to make me a gi?
Piccolo: Sure. What gi do you want?
Gohan: I want it to be like my father's, the man I admire most.
Piccolo ......
*Piccolo makes goku's gi*

That gets the point across and Gohan's in character. Even if Gohan didn't specify Goku, Piccolo would still assume it was Goku because even Piccolo admires Goku.

That works better. I meant that more as a joke towards those group of fans, cause trust me I see them now and again and it gets under my skin. I wouldn't want Gohan to just disrespect my man Piccolo like that either.
