Just to alert you: leaks have been uploaded on Twitter.

While they’re still pretty cool, it’s a bit disappointing it got leaked. I won’t spoil but if you want to know, dm me

Careful with the leaks out there guys.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Some of those leaks seem a little too good to be true; it's just not their style to actually deliver on the hype and anticipation.

They all sound like obvious fake leaks to me. Even if they were real, it's not like it's a big issue if they get 'leaked'. The point of keeping them unannounced is because IP holders just want total control over how and when audiences perceive their IP. It's insane stupidity.

If what I've heard is true, it's such a stupid and strange project that I can actually believe it.

I mean his is the same Toei that gave us a 3D movie after everyone loved the art style used for DBS Broly and gave us whatever the fuck Daima was supposed to be.

It seems like the reason these new projects have leaked is due to someone official sending images of these projects to the wrong phone number, and the owner of that phone number has started leaking said images.

What exactly got leaked? I was stuck on politics-twitter and by the time my algorithm shifted back to anime, all I saw were people getting angry over the possibility of something being leaked and a
that came from no reputable source.

Anyone can go online and make a leak. I get that people are hungry for new Dragon Ball stuff, but we have two months to hear the news.

It seems like
of something is indeed happening, as the more reliable Dragon Ball people began telling others to stop spreading the news and spoiling it for others, adding weight to the rumors.

Remaking Super feels pointless since they would be retelling stuff that we already seen.

Remaking Super would be pointless because they will in all likelihood just follow Toriyama's scripts and notes as closely as Daima did, and just not rely on the writing senses of the writer like the original did, and that's just...stupid as hell? I suppose 'compilation' film versions of the Universe 6, Future Trunks, and Tournament of Power arcs would be nice and all if they used completely new animation, but I'm not really sure I trust another that's going to be supervised by Iyoku Akio unless there's a change in philosophy after how soulless Daima's scripts and structure felt.

I could see why a remake would be needed if they were doing it with the intention of streamlining it with the manga so they could go through with the Moro arc. Not only does it fix the continuity problem between the two, but if the manga is coming back as well, it'll give Toyotaro some more room. Doubly so if they also adapt the Broly movie and Superhero.

I hope this isn't what they're doing though. I think Super definitely needs one, but not right now.

Yeah that I was there for. The community pretty much brow-beat the leakers into staying quiet. Didn't really understand that part. I'm probably the minority in this, but as out of touch as the suits behind Dragon Ball are, whatever they announce could very well be something not really worth the event like a live action series (lol), and I'd rather know now and be pleasantly surprised or disappointed ahead of time.

They could just alter the Moro and Granolah arcs to fit the 2015 animated series' continuity, though.

The issue I have with a Super remake exclusively following the manga is that although it'll fix the issues the original Super anime had, it'll bring with it new issues as well. IF we're indeed getting a Super remake, and that's a big IF, then I'd like it to be a mixture of what worked in both the original Super anime and the manga, as well as to fix some of the overall story issues found in both. For example, the power scaling in both is utter sh*t, so I'd like the writers to find a way to make things more logical in that regard. All the new transformations come out of nowhere, so maybe include some teases here and there leading up to their reveal. For example, have Goku show signs of Ultra Instinct as early as his fight with Hit, have Vegeta start showing an interest in Beerus' way of fighting early on, and potentially have Gohan demonstrate a glimpse of Beast during the tournament. This remake could have the potential to be just as good as classic DB & Z, but only if the writers have learned from their mistakes in the past.

Making firm decisions on character arcs rather than holding off on explaining anything because of being afraid of how Toriyama might not want to explain something would definitely improve a retelling. A redo of the Champa arc onward with Tomioka Atsuhiro being allowed to do his thing would make the story so much tighter.

Another thing I would like to see is actual connective tissue between the story arcs now that everyone involved knows the entire thing. Introduce Champa during Battle of Gods, show Zamasu watching the fight between Goku and Hit, Show Granolla doing something during Resurrection F, etc... One thing Toriyama did very well during the original run, which was lacking in Super, was making all the arcs feel like individual pieces in a larger story, rather than each arc being its own isolated thing. I have many issues with Super, but it has all the makings of a great story; now the people involved have the chance to realize that vision.

Ooh, yeah. I say have Zamasu and Gowasu visiting Shin and Beerus when Champa shows up, that way from the very beginning of the Universe Six arc we can track Zamasu's perspective and character arc. Like, literally making Zamasu the POV character and having the Universe Six and Future Trunks arcs framed through his perspective would be really entertaining. Having Zamasu as a character that Gokuu and friends already know and have a chance to annoy before the big turn in the following arc gives some nice connective tissue.

Goku going SS4 against Beerus on King Kai's world, for example. Fix the Kibitokai thing. If they're really gonna be doing a DBS remake, then it's the perfect opportunity to combine those timelines while they're at it.
They can combine all the timelines, Super, GT, Daima, & the old movies. This is a golden opportunity to take everything not present in the original manga and connect it together in one cohesive story. Have Goku say to Beerus that a Namekian unlocked a 4th form for him, but he's yet to figure out how to access it on his own without that Namakian magic, which would eventually lead into how he unlocked it in GT through the Golden Ozaru.

With One piece going seasonal, we could get 13 episodes of One Piece in one quarter, followed by 13 episodes of Dragon Ball in the next, and so on.
