"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[TheSaiyanGod]

I hope these leaks are fake. It does not make sense Freeza to join another universe because he will only be able to stay in the living world for 24 hours. He would not have the Dragon Balls to be revived

[Super_Divine_Genki]

Like with the craziness that ensued following the previous Freeza leak a while back, I think that it's at the stage now where our lead investigator Herms needs to be turned loose onto the internet so that definitive sense can be made about these latest developments.

Agreed. I'm hesitant to spread these leaks anywhere until I know if they're true.

They're fun to talk about here though.

I'm with you in wanting all of this stuff to happen. Then everyone can resume the on-going speculation of who the tenth member is. :p

[Baggie_Saiyan]

General reminder to err on the side of caution when it comes to believing leaks. Personally I'm waiting for an actual scan, a photo which shows that that's what the magazine actually says.
I do find it odd that it has spoilers for Episode 98 when we just passed 93. Seems a bit too far ahead. But I have been wrong about that before.

I think July having 5 Sundays might have something to do with why we have more episode summaries than usual.

I dont get this at all... I mean why would they put a rule that no killing is allowed if they'll inevitably disappear once you push them out of bounds? whats the point of that? unless they have something down there that needs feeding and the ones who falls off are the food or the energy they need in creating something.

No killing means focused more on martial arts and actual fighting which is what Zen-Oh wants, entertainment, think back to Resurrection "F" where the Z warriors were not killing the Freeza force on purpose it was then entertaining for us as the audience, same thing.

Basically he says he can't give details, but he just recorded a bunch of lines for Yamcha.
This could be a sign that the leak is real, but it could also mean nothing.

These bunch of lines could be just adding salt in the wounds of Yamcha fans just teasing that he would enter but won't. Super has teased us with Buu twice before, I wouldn't hold this to a high regard either. Nobody should. But at least its something.

By that logic, what's the point of having a no Killing rule when the losing universes gets destroyed anyway.


I am sensing a plot here.

How can someone fall off when they can fly? Is the gravity pulling them down or is flying not allowed?

Flying doesnt work when they're out of bounds.

If Freeza going off-script is going to happen, then: Freeza--->Frost--->U6--->U6 Dragon Balls--->???

Hmmm...

But who else can enter if Yamcha cant? Jaco? Chatzou? Yajirobe?

Its now basically a given Yamcha will make it, and win it for U7, Toriyamas attempt in recycling the Monaca win but done properly this time.

Oh... he's literally saying he voiced a lot of Yamcha roles this day and he'll have to do his best tomorrow as well sort of implying that there will be more Yamcha roles he'll do.
Funny how his tweet popped out close to the time when we got a hold of the leaks.

How could it mean nothing? Especially if google is to be trusted he said he also said he is tired from voicing Yamcha and has more work to do tomorrow, doesn't seem to be minor voice work...

[Lord Beerus]

I don't really know how to feel about these "leaks". On one hand, this increases the chances of Yamcha taking part, which would be a good thing. But on the other, it's absolutely invalidates the entire reason for Freeza returning again. Why would he jump ship to another universe? It makes no sense. Universe 4 hasn't got any Dragon Balls to bring him back to life once the tournament ends. Unless he's defecting to that universe to stab them in the back and aid Universe 7 to victory. I hope to God this doesn't happen because I was really looking forward to the dynamic of Freeza having to work together with the likes of Goku, Vegeta, Krillin and Piccolo to fight for his chance at resurrection.

[dbzfan7]

It's weird that people would rather see Freeza brought back again to fight against the cast (inevitably Goku/Vegeta) a situation we've seen quite a few times as opposed to Freeza being brought back and being forced to work with the protagonist (a situation we have never seen before)...

If all they were going to do was bring Freeza back and have him immediately fight Goku/Vegeta again then what was the point?

I don't get it either. Instead of putting a new and interesting spin to a tired idea, people want same old shit? The potential for different scenario's, comfort zones challenged, and potential growth...thrown out for same old shit?

[DBZ_Lee]

I really don't ever want to see Freeza again after this Arc. Following 3 deaths, this needs to be his swan song now.

Speaking hypothetically here, if we entertain just for a moment that those titles were in any way legit - as for that certain someone, it could very well be Yamcha, but if it ends up being Monaka, that would be hilarious lol.

Well it seems they will have a better chance with Yamcha. So his not useless after all.

I really hope it is Yamcha, he deserves a chance to fight on the team.

[Super_Divine_Genki]

This. The exact timing leads me to think that this has all been intentional on TOEI's part, and they give us enough to mull over up to a certain point. In other words, the strategy in drumming up interest and more speculation after the latest stop-point/Freeza's recruitment -- and last run of speculation -- has passed by.

[SansrivaaL]

I hope to God those leaks arent legit. Freeza having to work with Goku,Vegeta and the others is something that has never been done, the things they can do with having them work together for the time being.... then again it was too good to be true.

[Zamasu55]

This is getting highly ridiculous now.

Having Boo changed to Freeza was like a level 50 going to level 100, then enters having Yamcha change that slot went from lvl 100 to lvl -100.

If Freeza betrays them, rest assured Vegeta will want his head more than anyone else. He was robbed of the kill back in the ROF arc of a tyrant that killed his father, destroyed his home planet, and forced to work under him for years just to name a few.

Well said, my sentiments exactly. If they're going to go full jobber, would rather Jaco be the replacement personally.

It does fit in with universe 4 being the 'conspiracy universe' though if they do steal Freeza.
