If Super ends the next series will almost definitely be set in EOZ.

Trunks and Goten will be adults and they will likely finally do something with them now that they're older. Goku will be training Uub to reach God level, and as I said I hope Gohan remains relevant. I also think Toei isn't going to ignore Pan forever, you can clearly tell they want to market her again but can't right now since she's a baby.

I fully expect a, "Next Generation" type series if Super goes through a rebranding, Goku will still be around of course, but it's time for the Saiyan offspring to get spotlight.

A hiatus may not be a bad thing truth be told, as many have pointed out already, it would benefit the production team for sure.
It could also be due to the fact Toriyama Sensei is currently working on the new movie, that he hasn't yet penned the new Super Arc, and thus meaning production on the next arc will begin around Summer, giving them around 9 months (assuming it's a year hiatus) to get the early episodes ready.

Super finishing would be odd, as with these universes not participating in the tournament and not to mention endless possibilities with whatever wish the Super Dragon Balls will be granting to the winners, it seems odd to end it here.
There's also the vast majority of 3-4 years completely empty on the timeline to do whatever they want with.
If it is a hiatus, then at least the dub has a chance to catch up, and that's a good thing.
With Mosako Nozawa voicing the main character in Kitaro, and the BD Box 11 going up to 131, it is entirely possible a hiatus is coming our way.

If DBS gets another break in February (or two in March) that will be 90% confirmation as right now #131 is scheduled to air March 18th but if there is another break that means #131 will air on March 25th. So the BD Box 11 not being the usual 12 bodes actually bodes well so far and so far DBS is on regular schedule until 4/2/18.

It just seems odd to break here too as they only will have 1 episode to wrap everything up assuming the ToP keeps going 1 min an episode.

For the record, Toshio has stated that there will be some focus on Goten and Trunks following the tournament, so use that as you will in factoring your calculations for "cancellation" or hiatus or whatever.

Trunks and Goten will get a filler fighting human poachers on 17's island. I don't think that's anything to get hyped over.

It still means seeing Goten doing some work. That's enough to get me hyped

If there will be an episode focusing on the kids then I can't wait. I want to see what 18 meant when she said Marron is stronger than she looks.

Mind you, this is assuming that toshio916 on Instagram is the same person as @toshio916 on Twitter. Can't see why it wouldn't be.

I can't find his account. The only one that I managed to find is a fake Toshio account with 13 posts and 548 followers.

It looks fake. The english is too good and that profile pic just makes it seem even more fake. I say take it with a grain of salt
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

This is 1000% fake. There are many apps to create fake Instagram chats. Please don’t spread misinformation like that.

People really want this to happen. That could work only if there is a interesting story to it or it will get boring fast.

We will find out one way or another sometime next month. So until then I'm not gonna worry about it.

Fyi you may want to add multiple quotes to your first post instead of making a new reply every time you do. Helps less clutter threads up that way.

If boruto is anything to go by then it'll be very boring. The best way to use the next generation is alongside the old cast.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Not everybody wants a cast replacement to happen. I don't. Dragon Ball's world isn't enough to keep me interested without Goku and friends.

I mean, I'm prepared to quit Super and Kanzenshuu if Super pulls a Boruto since Super's the only reason I stay anymore, but I'd hope Shueisha doesn't do that.
