Lol just realized that Hit wasn't in the new opening at all, so his role as a major character is probably done.

The opening is really focused on Goku's fight with that red guy so I'm wondering, is he the arc's main villain or is the opening video going to change to suit the main fight that's going on at the time ?

I'm hoping it's Kaioken but there's no reason to tease it so it's more than likely a new form.

Could be a perfected version of SSBK, but there's obviously no way to know yet.

Oh yay we get Hit 2.0 as the main rival instead THE LSSJ(and a female one to boot) who will probably be a joke and lose to fucking Gohan or have a crush on Cabba.

Hit 2.0? We literally know nothing about this guy, how can you even say that in good faith?

Just by looking at him, he's got the same serious edgy look that Hit has plus he's the one fighting Goku the most in the OP.

If this red guy is the main villain then does this mean the arc is going to be short ? If he is then I don't think this is a good sigh about its length.

Oh! Hit is in the Op. He is there for like half a second on one of the shots of all the new characters. It's his big head in the bottom right. At least I'm pretty sure it is.

The Opening is fucking amazing!!! :shock:
Finally Super turned over a new leaf.

Good by Dynamic whatever, you were a good joke. I won't miss you. :wave:
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Maybe this is ssb kaioken or super Saiyan God red or a new transformation and is sad that hit is going to get demoted which I'm hoping that's not the case

Who the main rival is has nothing to do with the length of an arc.

I checked and he is, he's on the corner of one of the panels, part of his head and an eye.

I just think that showing the main villain this early is a sign that it might not be as long as I thought it was going to be.

I was thinking of 30-40 episodes with the main villain being unknown until the middle of the arc.

I don't know why you're setting expectations for length yet, anyway. Wait until the arc actually gets rolling, this introductory episode doesn't count.

So that guy that Goku is fighting in the opening....that's definitely gotta be the Masked guy with the hoody who was standing next to the clown right?

Oh hey, Goku's injury was a minor scrape, just like I said it might be.
