"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[SansrivaaL]

Its really getting on my nerves on how boring Jiren is.
Let me guess what'll happen this episode.
Toppo: Son Goku and an assassin, EVIL!
Jiren: .....
Dyspo+Kunsil: We got this.
Toppo: Hmm. Ok. Jiren lets rest there.
Jiren: .....

[perucho1990]

Yet we already know he's getting eliminated. Thanks Toei.

Even though it would be shocking if he gets to eliminate Hit due to Toppo and Jiren helping him.

[JazzMazz]

Hit is completely doomed if Goku will remain busy fighting Dypo.

Kunsil calling them for backup is very smart on his part.

Yet we already know he's getting eliminated. Thanks Toei.

It is not Toei's fault as the magazine was not supposed to release until the 21st and the episode airs the 20th so blame the leakers.

Wait, Hit's being eliminated? I alway's assumed the Magazine was implying that the Pride Troopers they fighting were going to be eliminated.

The pride trooper is what I am talking about.

Thanks for that confirmation, the wording was a little confusing.

[Kanassa]

Calling it now, Bra will end up adoring Freeza the same way Gohan came to adore Piccolo.

You know, that could actually work..
After all Vegeta parked at capsule Corp too, I don't see any other place for freeza to crash now that all of is army is gone as well..

Oh common, Bulma would never let a psychopath responsible for the deaths of millions, many including directly or indirectly the lives of her frie-... Well, Vegeta I'd start bunking with Yamcha, I think Frieza's gonna take your wife.

[sintzu]

Ever since I have been a Dragon ball fan I have wanted Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo to always be main three and it has happened at times.

Vegeta should have been done after being stabbed!

I think Namek was the only time they were the main 3. In the Saiyan arc Vegeta was a villain and in Cell Trunks and Gohan also played major roles.

If there's one thing Vegeta's good at it's taking a beatting and getting up from it.

[Noah]

It would be great if Vegeta got sidelined just for one arc, even two if it's needed. He's getting stale.
Have him explore himself, change his perspective and drives. Have Bulma and Trunks help him find some true motivations, and also let Vegeta show some passion in training and fighting...

Don't you think you're expecting to much from a kids show?

Stfu Goku White Knight
The only one who needs to get sidelined and is stale as fuck is dumbass Goku.
Hogging spotlight all the time even nothing relevant comes out looking at the last episodes proofs it.

They literally did this with Gohan. Pan and Videl motivate him, got sidelined, changed his perspective on fighting and family life, showed extreme drive in his training with piccolo .

Is Dragonball Super really a kids show though? There are some adult themes in DBS unless the Japanese children audience can generally watch and handle mature themes like this.

Yes. it's very childish compared to the original, other Shonen and its own manga counterpart.

You won't last long with that attitude.

And Goku's the main character who started the entire plot unlike Vegeta.

The original manga? Pilaf to the 22nd tourument is more childish than Super. The same with most of the Buu Saga which swings wildly between childish and serious.

And you need to watch more Shonen if you think Super is more childish.

It is not childish compared to other shonen it probably does not have the comedy you like so it may feel like it is taking away some of the seriousness that you might like from before.

Even Disney films have adult theme that children won't catch it until they grow up. Yes, Dragon Ball (Dragon Ball Super included) is a kids show.

DB's comedy was timed well and never went against its serious moments. Super on the other hand just forces it into everything. Look at Zamasu's death scene, why did it have to start with Whis putting that...thing on his hand when he tried to kill Gowasu ?

you need to watch more Shonen if you think Super is more childish.

It is not childish compared to other shonen.

Have you watched Naruto, One Piece or Hunter X Hunter ? If so then you know what I'm talking about when I say Super is childish.

[Grimlock]

Here are some examples of adult themes in kids show/film.

It is a kids show in the same way western comics, Harry Potter and Star war are but adults don't give a crap if it labelled as one and is the reason why they have such a huge number of fans of all ages.

All those examples alongside Shonen are also made in a way that bring in adult viewers. Most of One Piece's viewers are older than 18.

So this isn't about Super being 'childish', but you not liking the humor. Goku was raiding and killing people in the Red Ribbon Army while Commander Red was ranting about being taller. Or how about Mr. Satan's comments during the Cell vs. Goku fight? Or the entitity of Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks vs. Super Buu? Goku and Kid Buu bit each other and the universe was at stake.

And there are more Shonen that exist besides those three you named. That's like calling Dragon Ball childish because it isn't Fist of the North Star or Death Note, both that are Shonen.

And as an One Piece fan, One Piece has far, far more childish moments than Super even in serious scenes.
