Hmm, maybe its' more like people are hoping it's not. Would've preferred a DB only special myself, didn't like the last cross-over that much. But if they do make it a cross-over, I really hope it's Cross Epoch.
ANN saying "but the specials aren't listed as crossover specials." Hmmmm.
That would be very good but I still hope its not yamcha or saiyan brats.They can do it after top would love to something about universe 2,11 or even 6 unless its about saiyans.We have the whole show for this purpose.
I would love if roshi somehow dies and then he is on flying nimbus on his way to afterlife.I know it does not make sense but its my dream ending for roshi.

looks like they are finally doing something creative with tenshinhan.

I'm fine with having a special along with a much needed couple week break. ToP is not that interesting an arc. If they were interrupting the Future Trunks arc, that'd be irritating, but interrupting this current story? Breath of fresh air. Go for it, Toei.

With them apparently being a collab, but also being specific DBS and OP specials I'm wondering if maybe they have the same basic plot, but just done in the frame work of the two different shows. That'd be kinda neat.

It makes me think he won't get ringed out next week.
He could but the preview looks like it could be his last episode in the tournament and has been 6 episodes since the last knockout for Universe 7.
When something big happens, they say it. For example U9's erasure, Krillin's elimination and U10's erasure.
It'd be weird for them not to mention Roshi's elimination tbh.

I think Roshi will die standing after using Mafuba and eliminating a good chunk of U4 people except the Bug siblings.

The Special might be centered on Yamcha and Trunks/Goten vs Poachers.

I agree with what people have said before, it doesn't make any sense to have it be a conjoined key visual if they were two seperate specials. I doubt that Super is in any position production wise to have a special on its own without the One Piece production crew. Plus, the translation mentions a "collaboration preview" so it's likely a crossover

I laughed thinking of that scenario, I think Vegeta would be entirely annoyed by Caesar's presence.

I'm really hoping it turns out to be U6 flashback stuff, but I'll settle for something like a Jaco manga anime adaption.

Aren't specials supposed to take another time slot not the current one shows are airing in? Doesn't OP already have a special this week anyway? Like jeez this is totally unnecessary. This better be a 10/10 super duper special.

It depends, some times they do, some times they don't.

One Piece always took a different timeslot for its TV specials so these aren't really "specials" more so that they're just special episodes that fit into the shows' episode counts like the One Piece X Toriko ones

I'm actually curious as to whether or not FUNi will end up dubbing these as they haven't been able to dub the One Piece X Toriko ones but that could be because of the problems with the Toriko license

Could be neat if they did a staff swap of sorts. Have the One Piece writers/animators do the Super special and vice-versa.

It seems like the two invisible fighters will knock out Dr Rota ( from universe 6 ), or maybe just make him unconscious?
Anyway, I can already predict the end of next episode, Roshi will probably eliminate every visible fighter from universe 4 and everyone will be surprised why they didn't get erased. Nice ending though it seems like they'll get eliminated next episode immediately ( or the episode after that ). Now i'm sure the next universe to get erased is 4

Yeah, I think it's obvious that it's a crossover. I'm still in denial though because I want a hit special.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

I doubt its a super special, the production can't handle it.

Deliver "special" information!
Luxurious special project!
2 consecutive 1 hour special

Broadcast a special program in October!
One hour special of [OP] and [DB Super] broadcasted in October makes you happy contents you can see two episodes at once! Check the date and time!

From this autumn more and more you can not miss it!

Do not miss the great adventure of super excitement!
Poster Present Campaign with luxurious signature and collaboration PV are also released!
To be honest, this (obviously shoddy) translation just seems to say we're gonna get a break and then two episodes at once. If that is actually the case, we'll know for sure when the October episode spoilers come.

That doesn't really mean much, they wouldn't make a key visual if they were just airing two normal episodes back to back. The word project was used and if they were normal episodes, they wouldn't put up a PV on Monday because it would literally spoil episodes that won't be seen for a month. It's definitely a collaboration special at this point
