"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[CJStriker_CBR]

HeroR was right about Caulifla/Kale merchandise, Caulifla already has her action figure..

I like how well the Artwork is on those key-chains, Nicely Done.

Of course they do. ToP is pretty much Merchandising: The Arc, and new saiyans will get new stuff no matter what,

[perucho1990]

Lets guess who else will fuse using potaras, because I expect the other Universes to throw their potaras to their fighters:

Damon and Gamisaras: This one seems obvious, to make U4 threatening.

Brianne and Rosie: To make U2 threatening.

Both could reach Blue level imo.

If Kaioshins are going to be throwing their Potara earrings into the ring so that their fighters can fuse and become more powerful, what's stopping other competitors from becoming wise to that plan quickly and just blasting the Potara earrings into dust before they reach their intended target? Or better yet, after Grand Priest and Zeno see what happens with Caulifla and Kale fusing using the Potara earrings, what stopping either Grand Priest and Zeno from just destroying the Potara earrings of all the other Kaioshin's to prevent another "incident" like Kafla happening?

At least we're spared from seeing a Super Saiyan 3 Caulifa. Just imagining that design on her would have looked horrid.

Toei Plot shield.

Besides that we could get more Blue tier people thanks to the Potaras.

[Kataphrut]

I don't see every universe getting Potara fusions as well, they're not going to waste extra designs on minor characters. I just hope they explain why Caulifla and Kale are getting away with it when nobody else is. They explained a few lingering issues this episode, so I'm not too worried.

Can I point out that so many of the things people were afraid of happening in this episode didn't happen? No "asspull" powerups, no learning the fusion dance, no Broly references even when Kale turned into the form at the end. Just solid action and characterisation for the three principle characters. It's almost like getting worked up and assuming the worst over previews is the wrong way to go.

[precita]

Looks like Kale might cream herself over fusing with her "friend."

[HeroR]

The irony of this statement.

When Cauli apologists basically ignore everything negative stated about her, and pretend she's perfect in every way.

That's infinitely more illogical than saying "she's a bad character".

And you’re arguing with a straw man since nowhere in any of my posts have I ever claimed “she's perfect in every way”. Nor have any Cali fan said this, here or otherwise.

The way you respond to criticisms (even minor ones) of her suggests otherwise....so, it's not really a straw man.

Really? When have I called or suggested that Cali was 'perfect'? Because I said she wasn't sue or because hating a character for getting too strong too fast was petty? If you read the rest of my statements, I clearly said hating her character was a different matter, meaning you can hate because you don't like her character.

So don't go putting words in my mouth claiming I said, 'she's perfect'.

[RedHeat]

At least we get spared of the "how did they learn the fusion dance so fast???!!!" drivel.

[HeroR]

[spoiler]KAFLA IS COMING NEXT WEEK[/spoiler]

And we see potara earrings on her. Can't wait to see what excuse they come up with for this not being cheating (if they even address it at all) since Kale and Caulifla must be getting the earrings from the U6 gods.

Its never been cheating. The rules were no weapons and no healing items.

Jars, love glow sticks and magic earrings do not fall into ether category and have been allowed all before.

You know, they could already have the earrings on their person like Roshi's glasses.

[MaskedRider]

Honestly, its been a good month / week to be a SSJ3 fan. I wish they showed it more, I love how delinquent it makes Goku look

[TBMx]

Goku's the one warping the laws of the fictional reality, Black Hole Stu that he is, and recovering more energy back from fighting in order to justify his continued hogging of screentime. Anyone wanna bet this gets forgotten in future arcs? That no longer does fighting cause recovery? More so then oh I don't know...REST! They'd rather take it this far then have him step off the stage and rest for a couple more episodes. It's sickening.

[Noah]

Why is that terrible? Who cares how they fuse. The fusion is all people are bothered with, not the silly dance.

Pardon, but the 'silly dance' is iconic in this series. Monopolizing the Potara fusion as the only that could be used is a waste, but I prefer that than Goku going full retard and teaching the girls how to do it with the dance.

According to Herms, in the NEP Goku says Kale has become a "legendary Super Saiyan". It has to has to inside/meta joke. I mean, it just has to be... right?

She was always the Legendary Super Saiyan, only Broly haters denied her transformation had the same name. SSJ Berserk is stupid as SSJ Rage.

Oh look, another misused of Sue. This going to be standard this week, isn't it?

It doesn't have the same name. It's officially called Super Saiyan Berserk.

[Olympian]

I didn't know punching to the mouth was dirty.

It is if you haven`t brushed your teeth.

[Noah]

Yes it does. Goku confirmed in the NEP. If you're mentioning Heroes you should know they still use 'SSGSS' despite the fact the anime changed to 'SSJ Blue'.

All marketing, including Dokkan and figures for Kale called it Super Saiyan Berserk, including the summaries for the episodes. It isn't called Legendary Super Saiyan.

Brianne and Rosie: To make U2 threatening.

Catopesra and... uh, Paparoni?

And for u7, it would be cool (at this point anything goes if we're doing a tournament with fusions, we're in deep fanon territory) if both androids fused XDD

I don't see Toppo and Dispo fusing though. Maybe they are confident that they'll win even without fusing.

Catopersa and Biara since they seem to be a duo.
