Super possibly losing its timeslot or going on hiatus in March?

[RedHeat]

Since this topic is still going, I'm gonna say that a Boruto-esque reboot is inevitable. Goku can't be used forever.

[AnimeNation101]

I’m confused though. The JP Amazon for he box set still says episodes 121 to 133 instead of 131.

The last episode being 131 would line up though.

So far its been a minute an episode so 7 episodes left. That means the last episode of the T.o.P should be episode 130. 131 would be the wrap up with the Super Dragon Ball wish, possibly (hopefully) Zalama the Dragon God appearing, etc. At first I thought i woulnd’t Be enough but seeing as how fast the U6 V U7 arc and Black arc wrapped up there stuff and the aftermath in an episode, I think it’s possible.

Still though, it still says 121 to 133 on the website.

He has been and will continue to be.

EOZ will likely be the revamp. Can't wait to see Trunks, Goten, Uub and maybe even Pan/Bra or Maron, become major characters. I hope Gohan stays relevant.

Amazon JP still says 121-131 as of right now. I just checked. Also, the same for Happinet.

I personally feel not enough of the fanbase share this sentiment. There are still the most part of 4 years empty on the timeline - a lot of space to fill, and seeing as One Piece has been going for over 20 years and only 2 have passed within the story, there's no telling how long they can stay within this period for.

Passage of time has been a thing in Dragon Ball, sure. But that was before there was an epilogue. If Toryiama Sensei decides he wants to go passed EoZ, then fine. I just don't see him doing that just yet, if at all.
This time period was chosen for a reason - everyone is at their strongest. He wasn't including the kids in that because they aren't main characters, and likely won't be. If they were going to EoZ, then they would be older, and included, but not main characters (in my opinion) I of course, am simply offering my take on this, and may very well be wrong.

If it's an anime then it's 90% confirmation as history tells a new show will get announced before the current show announces to end.

They did a countdown thing for BoG movie so it could be a movie, I dunno how many movies Toei do a year though.

Guess we'll see! It'll be nice to find out one way or another. V-jump will be out within a couple days after that announcement. Maybe we'll get some more info there?

Oh it is? Then the timing of that announcement makes sense then. But yeah glad we'll know one way or another soon! I don't want it to break but if it does oh well.

I mentioned the new Kitaro update on the previous page but made the mistake of being the final post on the page so the next person to post started a new page.
( TT u TT )

Toei usually does 2 movies a year at minimum (Precure All Stars and then a regular Precure movie in October). At max I think maybe 4 (If their Toei studio anniversary movie was during a One Piece movie year that would've been 4 total).

Yeah. It officially hits the stands Saturday or Sunday but scans will probably pop up by Wednesday or Thursday.

EDIT
Any ideas as to what movies Toei are producing right now aside from Dragon Ball? I know there isn't currently a One Piece one announced as of yet.

Sorry, just re-read your post, Precure movies are produced annually, so they have at least one, then whatever else they decide to go for. All Stars in a new thing from what I can gather.

Forgive me if I'm not well-versed in this topic, but if Super's timeslot is indeed replaced, what points to the possibility of some unspecified hiatus any more than, say, the possibility of the show ending altogether? I'm not saying that would happen, but it's interesting to me that people are quicker to assume that there's a temporary break rather than a potential conclusion for Super (barring the upcoming film of course).

[precita]

I guess Super really is getting canceled then. I was only half joking when I said that might happen, didn't expect it to in reality. We'll get a new show in 2019 sure, but it probably won't be called Super anymore.

Is that so strange? Super's making a lot of revenue for Toei.

It could absolutely be ending. People just find it difficult to believe that it could be, due to the revenue that it is creating via merchandising etc. Not to mention there would be (in theory) only one episode to wrap up the entire show if the tournament continues at 1m per episode.
With this being said, we know the movie explores the origins of the Saiyans, and doesn't appear to be linked to the show (that doesn't mean to say it won't be confirmed otherwise later down the line) so it is unlikely as of right now that the movie is a finale to Super - all speculation of course.

Good point. I do believe that there are also good reasons to speculate that the show could be nearing its end -- Super was originally advertised to cover the gap between the end of the Buu Saga and EoZ, and it certainly feels like we're approaching that point in the timeline; on top of that, there's the fact that Toriyama and Toyotaro work fairly closely in regards to the direction of the story drafts (even if Toyotaro isn't necessarily a co-writer, he at least worked on the designs for many Gods of Destruction) and the manga is still rather far behind the anime. The nature of the current arc is particularly suspicious to me because most of the 12 universes and their strongest fighters are competing for their survival, and the ToP's penultimate opponent this time around is said to be stronger than a God of Destruction. I wouldn't by any means say I'm confident that Super is ending soon, but it does seem like a valid possibility at the very least.

Either way, it'll indeed be interesting to see what ultimately happens. I'm actually more curious about this than the conclusion of the ToP itself.

[DBZ_Lee]

The "Anime Japan" event which is taking place March 22nd - 25th is promising more info on the upcoming movie.
If Super is going on hiatus or ending in March, I do believe it will do so that weekend (25th) so it makes sense to give more info if this movie is tied in to Super or whatnot for this to be when the info is given.
