They're quickly running out of wiggle room to keep working in the time period before EoZ and the epilogue gives them at least two fresh new fighters to work with. Honestly, I feel like the writers are just hurting themselves if they don't get to that point.
Let's hope they will get through EoZ. I really want to see grown-up Goten and Trunks doing things.

I've been saying they will keep the original EOZ ending. If this isn't a confirmation of maybe I'm not understanding.

Yeah I think a lot of us expecting the EoZ time skip to happen after this arc, that Uub reference was too long and on too on the nose to mean nothing. I guess we'll see what happens!

Also DBS will not end, it is making far too much money and script writer Toshio basically said as long as fans continue to enjoy (and support) DB will stay forever (or something to that effect).

This is really good news cause 1- It means we'll be getting a lot more DB and 2- We might move into the GT or even a completely new time period afterwards.

I think we'll get 2-3 more arc in the current timeframe before moving on to EOZ's.

Its only good news if our main characters doesnt get changed, and yes even if I dont like Vegeta its still not right without him as the 2nd lead next to Goku.

Gokû and Vegeta are the linchpins sustaining my interest in Super. Without them, I stop watching the show, so I take the vague moving toward EoZ news as a possible red flag of sorts. Super's helped me through a rough couple years, it'd be sad to see it off, but nothing I can do about it if that's what happens.

Goku and Vegeta will likely stay. Gohan is a maybe, but the rest should be finished. They're washed up.

Those 2 are the face of the franchise so they aren't going anywhere. We'll get a different setting, new characters and new designs for existing ones but that's about it. If popular characters like Piccolo and Gohan don't get much to do then what are the chances of Uub, Pan, etc. getting anything ? at most they'll be in the background with everyone else while Goku, Vegeta (maybe Future Trunks every now and then) take care of things.

I mean before this all blows up are we sure what that twitter account that posted is trustworthy? I think we should wait until we get some audio/video clips or something we all know what happened when sites run things like this before... The Dragon Ball community is known for it's misinformation.

How does building up to the manga ending means Goku and Vegeta will be sidelined for the kids? People sure have wild and unfounded imaginations.

So Dragon Ball Super will just tells us: "Hey remember Pan, that character we've given 50 minutes of airtime and Oob the kid we just introduced in the last two episodes? They are our new main characters! Enjoy and please ignore the 100 plus episodes of Goku and his crew because now they will only appear every ten episodes or so." :wave:

Dragon Ball Super will always be about the current generation. If they ever want to role with the new generation idea, they have to start a new series like Boruto. It's something that needs build up and very specific advertisement. Or else it will just roll over and die.

Does this mean more story arcs building up the EoZ? Does it mean they're continuing past EoZ?

They could do a slow buildup to Oob taking Gokus place like they tried with Gohan. I wouldn't write it off. I don't see why people are getting so crazy about the possibility of Goku being replaced. They'd never have the balls to completely get rid of the old cast. It's just that Goku won't be the one saving the day anymore.

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.

DB is all about selling toys and cards which is something Uub could never do.

Uub can be introduced sure, but if they decide to form majuub once more that would be terrible..
Let them stay different characters and if they fuse, I expect uub to be able to regenerate after that pointless act

I hope you guys are right, maybe this is just me being paranoid because of Boruto's BS next gen shit going on that got me thinking that they may pull the same with DB.

How am you know uub could never do that ? We were barely introduced to his character ? He has infinite potential.
