"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Kagari]

No translation yet for this?

https://mantan-web.jp/2017/04/15/201704 ... 2000c.html

I was planning to translate this if no one else had gotten to it. I'll give it a closer look tonight but it's basically some words from a producer on the show about how characters like Roshi and Krillin will work out despite strength inflation. He also teases some stuff, telling people to look forward to the roles of each respective character, "to what extent will Gohan's battle intuition return?" etc.

What I was most interested in his the producer's comments about Toriyama's involvment, and also the rules of the tournament which could finally clarify whether the no flying thing is real all throughout the ring (which would be fucking awesome) or only when out of bounds.

Also, speaking about team members, i'm strangely starting to have a weird sensation that someone in U7 team will be replaced in an unexpected way
Probably I'm wrong, but...

Gohan remembers he has an academic conference and then gets replaced by Yamcha. The pain that I would feel..

Wouldn't that be a sad sad way for it to go..
Chances of that happening are slim though

[TheGreatSaiyaman]

Really hoping something good happens with Gohan, he was in the shadows for most of Super so far, and when he did fight, he jobbed (I'm talking to you, Frieza arc) so this tournament could be a good one for him, and the sky's the limit in super nowadays, so who knows? Just hoping our boy Gohan does well

I'm super hyped for these translations too because it seems like it contains some of the most important information about the arc and akira toriyama's input

The dude has been treated well recently he technically won his fight with lavender and impressed the omni kings and his father.

Is herms on twitter right now or no? If not can someone here who can translate do it.

His treatment in episode 80 was pretty much the best possible thing they could do for him to be honest. He was treated as a competent fighter, he had motivation to train after, and he pretty much won but rules are rules.

People are flying in the intro. I'm Not sure where this idea you can't fly at people in the ring comes from.

[FortuneSSJ]

-Lack of SSJ Black / Toei changing Toriyama's designs-

Toei most likely didn't add SSJ Black because they thought it was pointless. And they are right, even though I don't agree with them ignoring Toriyama's notes.
Black was already confirmed to get stronger after each fight. That's all they need to know to not bother with it, since SSR was coming soon.
I doubt they didn't give him SSJ because they thought people would mistake him with the real Goku. Different clothes are more than enough to distinguish them.

Same reason that giving blue hair to FT Trunks to distinguish him from kid Trunks is a ridiculous thought. Anyone can tell the difference.
They didn't change it most likely because they wanted to please Toriyama and he drew him like that. Purple FT Trunks is still a thing everywhere else.

Ignoring Toriyama's note about SSJ Black that doesn't affect the plot at all is nothing compared to completely change a character design. They won't do that.

If that female Saiyan character looks like that, that's how she is gonna be in the anime.

We don't know if they are two different female characters and if her eyes will remember Broly LSSJ when transformed.
It's not unusual when Saiyans unlock a new SSJ form their eyes get white for a moment until they recover their iris after.

Just happened again when FT Trunks unlocked SS Ikari.

Toei showing her like that it's a easy way to make everyone talk about it. They are not as stupid as some people make them out to be.

As for Goku/Vegeta revert to their old outfits its most likely because they aren't living with Whis anymore. The manga did the same thing.

[Soppa Saia People]

Enough with sjw,people bitching about diversity,etc talk
Lets talk about recent news

I don't see why salad juice warlocks are relevant to a Dragon Ball discussion, but you do you

P. S. Rey in Star Wars is fuckin' awesome imo

Generally when people say that diverse characters are "pandering to SJWs" I just ignore what they have to say. Those people aren't worth giving the time of day to.

These guys get it.

Oh you know what i mean

[Lapislettuce]

This confirms that Toriyama is the one who wanted 17 and not because someone at Toei is "a 17 fanboy" like so many airheads were saying.

ALSO.

Also, a hint that the ten characters from the main visual might not actually end up being the final team...?

Who could it be?

Dont tell me Buu is going to fall asleep AGAIN like in the U6 tournament.

[BlueBasilisk]

He also says "Also, a hint that the ten characters from the main visual might not actually end up being the final team...?"
Oh lordy.

It'll be Tien or Roshi, I think. Neither or them does much in the OP or ED. If it does happen I wager it'll be Roshi opting out in favor of someone younger and stronger.

[Chuquita]

So Yamcha might still have a chance?

To be serious, I'm still not big on Kamesennin being on the team, so I'd be fine with a Yamcha substitution.
