Could something be announced on Goku day?

Post by sangofe » Sun Feb 26, 2023 3:55 am

Did anyone notice there is a "59" under the traffic light in chapter 90 that was not there during the drafts? Could it be teasing something important on 5.9 (9th of May), the Goku day? Saikyou_Devin notes that there seems to bigger announces every two years on the Goku day, and small the following years.

I don't think that has to mean anything - has Dragon Ball ever done cryptic easter eggs like this?

But still, Goku Day sounds as good a day as any to announce the return of the anime. I've never made theories about that, I didn't even care or watch the anime until the pandemic, but Super Hero and the 10 years of BoGs sounds like a perfect place to pick things up.

We've really reached that point where we look for any kind of signs and clues, ey?

In all fairness, we did get Super Hero announced on Goku day almost a couple of years ago. So it is a safe bet to expect at least something on that day. I'm just so over waiting for the TV anime to return. This month will mark the 5th year since the Super anime finished. Crazy.

This reminds me of people thinking Kingdom Hearts III would release in March 2018 because of a random calendar that was in a trailer

I think you're overthinking things lol

I don't think it'll be DB Super announced but maybe the 2023 project?

Does Japanese entertainment in general do these kinds of Easter eggs?

I don't know but there's been lots of other Easter eggs not related to promoting in the DB super super hero movie?

There will probably be something announced on Goku day, but I doubt it's going to be a new anime. I think they'll make a new one eventually, but my gut is telling me we're not going to see it soon. Hopefully I'm wrong though, would love to see a big budget remake of the entire Dragon Ball story, and the Moro/Granolah story arcs animated.

New Budokai Tenkaichi is announced and not even 5 minutes later I see people theorising about the anime coming back because Goku transforms into Blue on Namek on the trailer. :D

If it were the Moro arc, he would be wearing the Galactic Patrol logo.

Considering Toei is gearing up to do a new Kinnikuman series, I wouldn't expect anything more than another movie for the next several years.

I'm so pissed that nothing was announced in Anime Japan and they didn't even promise anything. But yeah my patience just run out. Everything is getting announced, except Dragon Ball. The fact that even Kinnikuman will come back before Dragon Ball is ridiculous!

Sailor Moon, Precure, Kinnikuman, Digimon, Dragon Quest Dai... all officially confirmed to get new animated content. Moneymaker Dragon Ball?! Nothing. Oh yeah for the next months we will have a manga retelling of a movie we already saw shot for shot...

Maybe we will get something on Goku Day, but for now there's no reason to think the rumored web anime will come out this year or if even it exists... Too much going on and nothing involving Dragon Ball. The leakers have been wrong about DBS return since 2019 anyway.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Dragon Ball have 40th anniversary next year. I think its pretty save -something- animated will be produced then. Will it be announced on Goku day this year? probably not.

Nothing about the anime was announced on Goku Day and once again it was proven DB doesn't have any good leakers for the anime.
Even the most reliable leakers for other series all they can do is tweet cryptic messages, so they can easily back away when nothing happens and say it was a misunderstanding.

Y'all, I have some jagged pills.

Toei didn't even give a shit about the anime while they were making it. What on earth makes you think they'd want to produce a new TV show?

Because they have to soon to keep making money from Dragon Ball. They're currently producing something, I'm sure of that.
