"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Sodhi]

It seems One Piece will have a TV Special on August 26th. I think that means Dragon Ball Super will have a break as it will air at 9:00am?

DBS airs on a Sunday so it is good

[Grimlock]

Ops, just checked right the calendar. You're right. No break until the end of August as far as we know!

[Beerus-sama]

That bat fellow was cute... and I like the Trio de Dangers too.

We didn't see the short bunny girl fight, how did she get knocked out?

But something is really unsettling by how the Grand Priest looked, and how Universe 9's angel smirked after their erasure....

I'll be pretty disappointed if those guys don't turn out to be villains after the tournament. They seemed a little too happy about Universe 9 getting erased.

The whole tournament shouldn't be made this way if they don't have something (probably malevolent) in mind as a result of Universes erasure.

Speaking of TV Specials, when the hell will Dragon Ball Super have one of its own!?

Probably not until the production and staff size are totally normal. So probably next year at the absolute earliest.

Didn't anine already said that in uni 6 arc though? Or am I misremembering something.

Yes goku Said to hit ssb was draining in u6 iirc

I just find it funny that when the manga had reveled ssb had draining stamina,every one freak out like having a meltdown in twitter, even calling the author retarded when the anime did it, everyone is ok,it just a proof toriyama contradict himself, he's doing this since the beginning of db

Toriyama isn't writing anything though, anyways I found it funny how they said SSB drains stamina when Goku and Vegeta were going in-and-out of it all throughout the Future Trunks arc.

I think toriyama is still passing the outline to Toyo and toei, This episode pretty much made things more confusing,I'm just used to this right now

I just remembered in the universe 6 tournament when Hitto and Goku we're duking it out. Champa and Beerus basically said that mortals were their play things and that they were insignificant. Now looking back on it, it looks like it was for shadowing for what's to come after this tournament. I think it's going to be a handful of the strongest mortals in each Universe against the God's themselves. I could see a team of Jiren, Hitto, Goku and company trying to take down the Grand Priest and the Angles so mortals can just be free from instant eradication.

[TheMikado]

Noticing that the same people who said the tournament wasn't Gokus fault as the same people speculating the Angels are evil or that they aren't actually destroying the universes just teleporting them or even possibly going to bring them back later. It seems like reaching at this point. They're doing what they said they were going to do and people are pulling an out of universe Goku moment like "Nah, they don't really mean everything they've been saying for the past several months."

This is just like the Vados speculation times 100 that literally turned out to be nothing at all.

He just gives bullet points, he doesn't provide the actual meat like the screenplay and storyboards.

This eye contact has to mean SOMETHING.

[HeroR]

So manga redeemed? So is the stamina drain better or worse than SSJ3?

Well since they pop in and out if Blue pretty easily I'd imagine it's a lot better than 3.

Also, Manga redeemed? Was the manga under fire for it's stamina drain thing?

It's absolutely hilarious, defensive anime fans were saying the manga was ignoring Toriyama's own words by making SSB drain stamina

It was under attack for the 90% drain just going transforming in and out. Something the anime doesn't have. Not Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan draining stamina in of itself.

"Ima fuck you up."

"Try me."

[HeroR]

yet Goku and Vegeta stay in it after ringing out the Trio for an unnecessary amount of time just standing there.

I think we can forgive them losing consecration, they just watch Team U9 and Universe 9 get Erased in cold blood. Thats kind of distracting.

Plus I suppose it's literally seconds in which that happens.

It is disappointing to think that they can't maintain the form for 42 minutes without straining themselves that much. especially considering Vegeta has trained for like 5 years with the form.

They probably could, but the want to make sure they're near their best if and win they face an opponent that requires their full power.

This is just like the Vados speculation times 100 that literally turned out to be nothing at all.

I've argued that it isn't Goku's fault(which was said twice in the story; first by Whis, then even more explicitly by Vados) and I'm not speculating that. Meanwhile, I just saw people arguing it's Goku's fault while also speculating that the angels are evil. It seems like you're reaching.

I suppose the new theory is that Krillin gives 18 the sunglasses and that's a rule violation. I hope not.

[precita]

Krillin is probably going to kill that green parrot guy in the next episode, lol

[perucho1990]

The whole "Blue can drain stamina" is 100% confirmed for the looks of it to be part of Toriyamas outline, but Toei ignored it in U6 and Trunks Arc because they found it stupid.

Now with Toyotaro helping the anime with the drafts, the product has been getting closed to how Toriyama wants it.

I cant wait to see Cauliflas reaction after witnessing that Final Kamehameha, thats probably the reason why she asks Goku to teach her how to unlock SSJB.

Actually no. The SSB stamina drain was always present in the anime. In fact, it was even mentioned by Goku during the U6 arc:



It's just that it's much less severe when compared to the manga, as it seems to be (from what I can tell) about the same rate that SSJ drained stamina until that was mastered during late-Cell arc.

Maybe his wings is where is heart is or something..
Because none of those disks hit anyone clean in the gut

Yeah honestly. Everytime an angel shows up in the show people start theorizing they're evil

They did it to Whis when he first showed up. Then Vados. They're still doing it to GP, and now Mojito is their next target.

The drain still doesn't work anything like it does in the manga. So what are you getting this from?

Thank you for this. For someone reason, people tends to forget information from the anime.
