"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[perucho1990]

Seeing Goku team up with the Saiyan Girls...i hope it means U6 an U7 forced a truce to take down U11, then you could have U2 backing down U11.

U6 and U7 vs U11 and U2, sounds awesome right?

[MainJPW]

Fine,but if that's how goku going to achieve his new form then I'm dropping super

This doesn't seem genuine after all those "if x goes x I'm dropping Super" memes that have been popping up lately.

I am I mean with the goku wanking and the caulif crap I'm kinda sick of it

[JulianStyles]

Hoping Roshi is eliminated. If it follows the pattern of Krillins episode. Get a good showing then get eliminated.

[Chuquita]

A major cast change/shift is the only thing that could get me to drop Super.

A boring arc, however, could persuade me to stop watching it live and start watching it instead at a time more convenient for me like I do with every other show I watch.

This arc is pretty much boring to me in my opinion they have been focusing on goku way too much and shafting other characters then again Japan worships goku like he's god

Goku's been wanked since early DB,DBZ and DBS, how and why are you still here

Well there nothing indicating goku being replaced, some there no need to worry about replacement

I never watched db and I didn't like him in dbz I just think he's overrated and wanked

[Ki Breaker]

It is kind of hard maintaining my interest in super now that it's going slowly..
It's a good thing, it will be a blast watching it back to back and I always wanted it, but it's getting near impossible to get excited about next episodes now..

U6 and U7 vs U11 and U2, sounds awesome right?

I'd rather things didn't go that way. Teaming up only makes sense for the purpose of two weaker forces coming together to defeat a more powerful foe, whom they couldn't defeat separately. If Jiren finally decides to show how powerful he is, it would make sense for U6 and U7 to team up, however, there's no reason for U2 to aid U11. Why would U2 care if U11 got eliminated?

Let's not forget this is a battle royal. Too much teamwork between universes would vastly decrease the chaos, which is what I'm waiting for. That's the most exciting part about the NEP for episode 100. It looks like we're finally going to get utter chaos, having the most fighters be shown during that episode.

[Chrono Trigger]

I've already posted these thoughts on another forum but...The whole recruitment thing was an arc all by itself (in my opinion) and if they were gonna do that then they should have used a different intro for the opening. Different imagery I mean. You can't show us in the intro who the final team is going to be and then spend months building fake tension. "Who is Goku going to ask? Will they say yes/no?" Well we already know because it's in the intro. Imagine how much cooler it would have been if outside of a few obvious choices we didn't know who would be in the final team? (specifically 17 and Freeza two characters nobody would have really guessed) That's if they were gonna go the route of dragging it out like they did...and if they had to drag it out they should have made the tournament in at least a week.

The flashy/cool opening and the early announcement that the tourney would take place in 48 hours gives the impression that things will move pretty fast. So it's pretty disappointing after a few weeks go by and they are still dragging things out with melodrama. "Will 17 agree to join the team???" Yes god damn it! We literally see him in the intro!" I swear by the time they got to around to Roshi I really didn't care anymore. Switching Buu out for Freeza re sparked my interest in the show/arc.

Speaking of that, I think bringing Freeza back under this premise was a great idea and so far it's going good but it's going to take talented writing to stick the landing. I don't know what they have planned for Freeza but the path to success with the idea is narrow. Something that will keep them on the path is to not put us in a situation where we have to watch Goku kill Freeza again or Vegeta or anyone else from our universe. We've seen them fight and kill Freeza enough already. We've never seen Freeza have to fight/cooperate with the main cast before. That's new and interesting. Keep playing with that but don't push it too far.

Also as others have said if they were going to drag out the recruitment process they could have spent some episodes fleshing out some of these characters from the other universes. It would be a lot easier to accept these U6 Saiyans if they at least got us to care about them a little bit. So far all we got was 3 characters we don't really know or care about being given power ups because...well just because I guess.

I agree this is a boring arc, but for different reasons:
-I don't like the way the tournament is set up.
-I don't like the setting.
-Too many characters we barely know.
-Too few new designs I like.
-I prefer arcs with clear antagonists.
-I'm not a fan of tournament arcs.


I actually wouldn't mind if they let Gokû sit out some of the episodes of this already dull arc. I like Gokû, but without him I'd wouldn't have the urge to watch live. Super is way easier for me to blow off/delay watching/play hooky if Gokû's not around.

This is true. Gokû's in a safe position as far as I can tell. Vegeta's the one I'm still a bit worried about in terms of replacement.

That said, Vegeta's being replaced wouldn't stop me from watching (only make me saddened) but Gokû being replaced would make me drop Super. (Though I think they'd re-brand/re-name the series if they were going to replace Gokû.)

Even with the revelation that something crazy is about to happen I too dont feel as excited as I was back in the Black arc... this is all just too boring for me. Its all because everything is going so slow and for a tournament with 80 characters duking it out I was expecting more of a chaos like 3-4 representatives from each universes duking it out rather than U7 V U9 or U6 V U7, I can hardly see this as a rumble let alone chaos, the right word would be... cute.

Didn't Goku sit out in the last episode,he barely have screentime in 99,I kinda agree with too many characters with 0 background,the closest we got is just a line with the trio surviving in the dumpsack world together, which is a damn shame,I wanted to see how messed their childhood was

Goku is the only reason I still watch Super, since they ruined my favorite character in Future Trunks.

Goku makes everything far more interesting with his reckless attitude and complete asshole personality.

Vegeta used to be interesting, a bad boy who caused trouble. Now, he's just a tamed househusband who let's his wife boss him around, gets humiliated by Beerus all the time, and walks the straight and narrow. Vegeta fights for his family. Goku fights for himself.

I agree with this. Gokû's still fun to watch. Vegeta's become bland and that's a shame. He's reciting his classic lines in this tournament, but it feels phoned in, writing-wise. They made Vegeta a punch line for comedy for so long that it's hard to make any backpedaling believable to how he was pre-Super.

He kinda did, but I mean in the way of not showing up at all like how they did it in parts of Z.

That's why I wish they had visited some of these universes in full story arcs before busting out this tournament. Make the audience care by spending an arc involving each of these universes. That's why I'll feel bad about losing Gowasu, but not bad about losing the other kaioshins whose names I never bothered to learn because we barely know them.

I never watched db

Why are you wasting your time with Super? You should watch/read OG DB ASAP dude.

Dude doesnt know he skipped a gem, tho I dont think he would enjoy it, he's grown a huge hate for Goku.

Completely agree and honestly after ep 100 I'm dropping super the future trunks arc had tons of problems so does this arc and I think there never going to replace goku they wouldn't even do that in the buu saga
