"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[The gr]

Can we all agree that Freeza is the most entertaining guy at the tournament?

Agreed,he better alive after this,because I don't like the idea of freeza being erased by zeno,he will totally be a good god of destruction

[Kishido]

I hope so much that Caulifla will show us Ikari and they will give us in an in universe explanation... Somethign they failed to give during Zamasu arc.

The transformation itself isn't the problem but the handling was piss poor

Ikari seemed to be trunks answer to blue and his owned unique form doubt your gonna have any of the u6 saiyans getting that form

would be even more dumb

[Simere]

Super saiyan rage has better feats than ssb and was used better but the form itself was a asspull and wasn't explained.

Not really aside from the Genkidama mode.

Ikari could be made canon, remember when some people were arguing that Kaioken+SSJB was a toei thing invention yet it became canon later on?

What are you talking about with SSBKK?

I'm confused. Why is Ikari not "canon" to the anime version and why SSBKaioken is not a Toei invention?

That'll be the day...

But yes, since his return, Frieza has been the most entertaining character. And he's doing it with such little screen time, which is impressive. I predict Frieza's part of the final three along with Jiren and Goku. Frieza's being portrayed as uber strong, as he hasn't even broken a sweat yet. Goku's calm and enjoying himself, but he's taken some hits here and there. Whereas, whenever we see Frieza he's all "Next Victim lol."

Champa said "His limit seems unfathomable" back in 81.

That was the one I was thinking of. Thanks! And also thanks to TysonWine!

Not really. I think hes entertaining but not a game changer. 94 and 95 didn't appeal to me the way it did for everyone else.

In a way to say it wasnt part of Toriyamas outline.

I dont know if its just me but I now I kinda look forward to next weeks episode, the focus on Universe 2, the dark horses of this tournament, and also the next batch of spoilers.

But SSBKaioken was not in the outline either as far as we know. Which is the difference?

Personally I'm kinda interested in tomorrow episode since it seems to have a better art than last one, and I was not really a fan of Berserk Kale...

Neither you nor me know what toriyama outline looks

[ArchedThunder]

I never noticed how animated that dude was.

[TheSaiyanGod]

So the trailer referred to the Saiyajin race and not exclusively to Caulifla?

Anyway, it has been said several times in the series that the Saiyans have infinite potential, that would not be new.

I just found it strange to focus only on Goku, Caulifla and Kale. Is this just something to promote their team battle?

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Dragon Ball Super success is undeniable, really.

We finally reached the 100 episodes milestone.
Universe Survival arc is something really ambitions considering the amount of characters they have to deal it. No other arc of this franchise introduced so many relevant characters.
The overall animation/art quality has been consistently good and way above all the other arcs.

After this arc ends, I hope they finally announce a new Movie or TV Special. If they can deliver this now, they can do anything.

Meh beats me cabba,gohan,vegeta did get some focus even if it was brief

I think the point they are trying to make is that Toyotaro specifically says he tries to stick to the outline as much as possible while he is free to make changes, but made no such comment other than using the outline and then changing/adding to it. "Fleshing it out"

So either some of the stuff in both the manga and the anime were not in the original outline or somebody is lying. Basically either Toriyama, Toyotaro, or Toei are straight up liars or the outline really is fairly barebones and Toei invents things as does Toyotaro to fill in holes.

[The_Destroyer]

Why'd they have to make Murichim lose to Frieza so soon
