"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Boo Machine]

Does anyone else feel like Toyotaro and Toei will take over once Toriyama steps down? Seems like Toyotaro is inserting more ideas more and more each arc. Like his character designs.

Well when Toriyama steps down and they still want to keep going with Super, then they're going to have to take over. I'd actually be interested to see where they would go with it.

[ArchedThunder]

LOL so no Blue or Ikari Gohan and "just" Ultimate.

For now anyways, who knows what will happen in the arc, it's not like they'd just reveal his big transformation(if he has one) at the beginning of the arc in V-Jump.

I dont think Gohan's gonna get blue, Ikari tho is a possibility, if FT Trunks got it, then Gohan who's more into the rage stuff isnt out of the question.

[TheMathemagician]

If Gohan loses once, his fanbase will riot. Even if its too a powerful foe.

Sounds like Vegeta's fanbase.

Some vegeta fans riot over his L's even though he and Goku are treated the best by far. People need to realize that a large portion of this fanbase is quite young, of course there will be people raging at this type of stuff. If something like that happens, then you can bet your ass there will also be a ton of Gohan fans satisfied with the outcome also.

Fully agreed.

I wonder what will be their reaction now that teletubbie is being confirmed to be a relevant character in his tournament besides Alien and Fem Broly.

Vegeta fans might be a bit...mad if Vegeta uses SSJB on someone that looks like a joke character

They'll have to learn to deal with it. Heck some Vegeta fanboys were salty when Hit beat him, wondering how he could defeat a SSB tier fighter. Not to mention, it's ridiculous to judge a character's strength by their appearance alone.

I feel like blue doesn't really fit him i think his mystic form will be god tier version.

I'm hoping for him to tap into God ki with his Ultimate form, Ikari was pure rage and in the opening we see Gohan meditation and then going ultimate, so what if through calm he gets an upgraded Ultimate form that has the double aura like Ikari and he keeps his black hair.
That's what I want.

Same also in the Opening we see flash of sparks in his Mystic form which he never had as ultimate which makes me believe it'll be much more powerful.

Namekiansaiyan, you were the same guy who was telling us to give up on gohan when he wasnt relevant. Now ur trying to switch it up on us by bashing us. Cut the crap. You're just a hater man that's it. We get it you don't like gohan.

Exactly. At least I can stand Ekrolo and Doctor. hating on him because they're at least slightly amusing and reasonable about it. NamekianSaiyan just gets straight up annoying though.

Also guys, I wouldn't read into the sparks too much. Sparks were shown in a game opening before too. It probably doesn't mean anything significant. I'm just glad he's taking fighting seriously again.

90% of his posts are Gohan bashing. Even if Gohan stopped having fans, Gohan would still be one of the most talked characters in here because he just can't stop writing about him.

[Grimlock]

Still, Gohan doesn't train for six years. Even if he gets serious, he might not have problem in this mere exhibition but he will in the actual showtime, the Tournament of Power.

Considering that Vegeta will participate, Bra will already be born, which means some days or weeks will be skipped, that is the time Gohan has to train... Which obviously won't be enough, let alone what fans are expecting from the said character. Gohan is still a lost cause until there's an event expected to occur in the following years for him to be able to fight properly and with an acceptable power level again. Unless of course... Asspulls!

Exactly guy has a hate boner for the dude.

Uh, no? He's been training since between F and the Champa arc.

And all fans are "expecting" from him is to get some good fights.

[Grimlock]

Uh, no? He's been training since between F and the Champa arc.

Any evidence? I just remember the spar (not training) he had with Piccolo, which contribute nothing to a major power-up.

His training was strongly alluded to at the end of RoF and the U6 recap episode, in which the sparring match was shown. There's no reason to think that he stopped.

Episodes 27 and 30 both outright said he was training with Piccolo, 67 seemed to imply that he was off training with Piccolo and 75 showed him fighting evenly with Super Saiyan Goku.

Actually there is. His lecture, there were lots of time he was seen with his family, he spent some time with Future Trunks (although this one I'm pretty sure it was a totally Toei's scene). The only scene that suggested some training was the last episode of Future Trunks saga, but as I said, some little spar with Piccolo won't take him anywhere.

Leveraging what I just said to Mule.

Where does the mutual exclusivity come in? You know he can do two things simultaneously, right?

[ArchedThunder]

The whole reason Gohan started training again was specifically to protect his family, I fail to see how him having more scenes of being with and doing things for his family after he returned to training means he stopped.

[Grimlock]

I do, but not Gohan. Not the pacific, great scholar wannabe Gohan we know. He's that typical young man that just doesn't get out of the track. He's not Goku. He dedicates time to his family, he dedicates time to study... Then he dedicates some time to spar.

And we have this:

We Asked Akira Toriyama! 2013

At times when there are no battles, or on days off, what sorts of things do the warriors do?
