"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[TekTheNinja]

Checking Ken Xyro twitter, and says that the japanese fans feel that the Roshi episodes were the best of the ToP, followed by Goku/Hit episode.

They also think that Piccolo is next to be eliminated.

So they think... exactly what most of us with good taste think?

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Would Funimation even though that much about the fight right now.

I would assume they would know at least something substantial, this is obviously part of a marketing plot, with Toei. And they have been working on it for sometime.
FUNi were also the first to release the key visual of Goku officially, not a magazine scan.

I don't think it's a bad idea, Toei is handling Freeza very well in this saga. Bad idea is to dedicate a movie about Freeza's return, kill him in the same movie and not add anything interesting to the lore.

As I said when it was first revealed that Frieza would be here, I personally see no way they could possibly handle his return that wouldn't piss me off entirely. Even if he somehow gets the greatest fight in DB history I'd still be pissed that it was wasted on Frieza and not given to someone actually deserving of more spotlight.

That's called being stubborn "Even if its amazing I hate it"

To each his own, I'm not downing you, just saying it comes across poorly.

I'll guess your refering to Yamcha...i won't lie, I was pissed when I thought he may make the cut. I dont say this to mock your like of him but just to say I know the feeling you might have.

[namekiansaiyan]

I am not settling for only 1 decent episode no matter how good it is as Piccolo deserves more than that.

I think we'll be lucky if we even get that. It's hard to believe that he's the same character who's one of the most relevent and beloved in the original manga.

Toei are sending me crazier than normal regarding Piccolo as I seriously can't believe in 12 episodes he has had one 15 second fight and the spoilers indicate that will increase to 17 episodes. They could have a least shown him fighting people without knocking them out which should have happened last episode but he disappeared with no reason given at all. It is like they actaully forgot about him when writing the first bit of the tournament.

Well, I think so too, but let's face it, we're biased.


Another question: have we heard anything new regarding the new ending? Is there a longer clip?

Roshi got 2 episodes while 18 has had quite a lot so that throws the biased thing out.

I don't think anything else has been annoinced about the new ending. This should be a better ending to analyse than the last one was.

That`s different tastes for you.

Freeza has been handled the best in character terms and I have zero issues admitting because it`s a technicality but I`m just not invested in him or the Saiyans or even Goku as I am with my favorites.

It is like they actaully forgot about him when writing the first bit of the tournament.

Look at #18 and Cabba, we saw them in 1 episode each and after that they fell off the radar. That's the problem with this kind of arc, they've got so many characters and so little time that it's impossible to balance them out. It also doesn't help that Piccolo hasn't been that relevant since his fight with #17 all the way back in the Cell arc. You can say the same about Gohan since his fight with Super Buu but he has the "Goku's son" card to fall back on.

[Noah]

Wouldn't you expect the Androids to go out before Piccolo especially 18.

Why not? Krillin is stronger than Tien and Roshi and yet he was eliminated first.

[dbzfan7]

Ah shit I just remembered, 18 never got her revenge on Frost. Well that sucks....

[The gr]

Ah shit I just remembered, 18 never got her revenge on Frost. Well that sucks....

Wow i forgot about that ,at first i find that a missed opportunity then again they made her insult krillin for hypocritical reasons so is not a big loss to me

[MaskedRider]

How potentially strong can the kikoho get if Tenshinhan focused on perfecting this geometrically impossible technique? Its showcased that the mafuba can seal away even immortal deities so even Roshi could make Zamasu take an L. Without mocking Super's power scaling / levels can you prove to me why Tenshinhan shouldn't be able to fight toe to toe with Jiren and be able to obliterate his existence?

[spoiler]you can't without saying its stupid[/spoiler]

Ah shit I just remembered, 18 never got her revenge on Frost. Well that sucks....

To be fair, from checking it out real quick there never was a sub plot of 18 plotting revenge against Frost unless I skipped a scene from scrolling the time bar

First full body look at Damom from Universe 4, from2018 DBS Calendar:



They put him there next to Ribrianne, Jiren, Caulifla, Keru, and those GoDs, so we now can start assuming that warrior will be important in this arc?

[ArchedThunder]

First official look at Damom from Universe 4, from 2018 DBS Calendar:

It's very possible that he's the powerful mortal Whis talked about.

I wonder if he has two similar forms or if the promo artist just messed up his proportions.

I would Welcome This SO Much, Having an Ant-Man Style Character(I am a HUGE MARVEL COMICS Fan and Reader!) being a Major Force in this and it not only Makes another Universe, 4 in this case, stay longer but also be the SURPRISE Darkhorse I had hoped they would be cause of Beerus's Rivalry and how they where built like that before the ToP Start!

Also, I want to have Surprises characters be stronger then we originally thought and it NOT all being about Jiren being the final boss either, so I hope the this is correct on Damom and his Brother or Sister are on equal as well!

I Like a Diverse Case of Characters to make this ToP more Unique!

REALLY Love that Image on the Calendar Poster PMD, Thanks For it!

Well Done by the artist of it, would make an EPIC Poster as well!

But just like the Justified Hype around Universe 4's Damon with this ~~~~~ WE ALSO Have My Girl Ribrianne and the Universe 2 GoD the Lovely Heles ~~~~ So why is that Important one might Ask?!

Well Again Like I keep saying, why I Say Ribrianne and Universe 2 will go Very Far in this ToP and maybe well into the Next Arcs after this, is Just How MUCH Ribrianne is Being Promoted all over it seems. She is in Dragon Ball Heroes Card game already being so far only 1 of 5 So Far Character Cards of the New Characters introduce from the ToP arc, we have seen Game Action with her in the game already and in adds for the game as well. She has merchandise staring already just some but it is their, she is in the one of the main characters promoted in many adds from V-Jump and now This.

Again, this can all mean nothing to what Toei will Write in the ToP and it is always about Cautious Optimism, but this is why and not just My Fandom, This is Why I feel Ribrianne will Last VERY Long in the ToP and Likely Until the end!

But we have to wait and see if that is so.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here's the rest of the calendar, courtesy of Maria MsDBZbabe on Twitter:

IMO it is VERY Much the Right Place PMD, Thanks So MUCH for that cause I was wondering about the Rest of the Calendar!

When you get beyond the Images of the U7 team alone, their is;

[spoiler]ONLY 1 Image with ToP Characters that are NOT of Universe 7 in this Calendar and this is a Calendar for 2018! So if you think of that plus how fans will be thinking, A YEAR FROM NOW back on this arc;

You DON'T Put Characters like the GoD's Heles, Belmod and Quitela with fighters like Kale, Caulifla, Jiren, Damon and Ribrianne and NOT have all those Characters having been of some MAJOR Importance in that Arc A YEAR LATER!

Just food for thought theory! [/spoiler]

They look about the same to me. I think the perspective in the calendar is hiding how round he is.

Little guy is actually kinda cute.

Yeah he is kinda cute and I can't wait to see him along with his brother or sister in action.

[Jigurashi]

I love those posters. The I love Goku and 18 on the U7 one and Goku, Jiren, and Damon on the ToP one.
