"Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol" (20??) Discussion Thread

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

Has anybody noticed that the “Super” part of the logo has changed to a different color in both BEERUS and Galactic Patrol posters? I really like the new touch up. I assume this will be the new logo going forward?

I noticed the blue. Makes sense to do that, tbh.

It goes very well with the space and multiverse themes of Super. I like it.
It seems they want to streamline the identity of the entire series.

I expect each arc will result in a name change.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus
Dragon Ball Super: Golden Freeza
Dragon Ball Super: Fat Beerus
Dragon Ball Super: Zamasu
Dragon Ball Super: Tournament of Power
Dragon Ball Super: Broly
Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol

[Nickolaidas]

This includes Black Frieza, right?

I noticed that too. Both Moro saga and Granola saga are more Toyotaro's babies than Toriyama's. It's kind of a disservice to credit mostly Toriyama.

I agree. Although I think that's more true for the Moro Arc. But both were practically made as a team effort I think.

It wasn't so much teamwork; Toriyama's supervision consisted mainly of correcting a panel here and there, with the rest being Toyotaro's work, especially in the Moro arc, where his participation was even more minimal than in other arcs.

You're no fun.

I'm SO glad it's not a reboot of Super adapting the material both the anime & manga for Super have covered already.

This aged like milk.

Interestingly, the key visual depicts Vegeta with the dark blue under suit, instead of the lighter one used for Dragon Ball Super and Daima. This brings it closer to the Dragon Ball Super: Broly color.

I mean, even then what we're getting isn't a full reboot, just cutdowns of the already existing episodes with refreshed animation.

Also, if they can cut out Goku acting like an idiot & play him more like he is in the manga, last 4 movies, & Daima, that'll be great.

I mean, he's not exactly going to be well-written either way just because he's written a bit closer to how Toriyama would write him.

Like, Dragon Ball Super (2015) had a ton of flaws but that doesn't mean that Toriyama or Iyoku's alternative will actually be good.

So, I assume we can just roll this into this thread too, but...Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. They're doing mini arcs recapping the important shit from the previously done ones with redone animation like the remaster & recut of Fishman Island of One Piece.

This is very interesting. A series of remastered arcs with better art and animation would be very interesting to see. Super's rushed animation was it's biggest problem, imo. I would gladly watch these.

Someone said Goku will be more serious in this new version of Super, as there are some new re-recorded lines. I'm not sure if this person was just speculating or if it was said during the event.

It's not going to be a proper project made from scratch, so I would keep expectations low. I know that the trailer isn't going to be reflective of the final project, but if those shots are being kept as-is, we're just looking at a majority of cuts from the 2015 anime being repurposed for something like the Gundam SEED remaster project.

It may or may not work, but I'd like them to try new things with the character. I, personally, never minded Goku being a little silly, but the Super anime went too far with that, especially in the Future Trunks arc.
I think the way he was portrayed in the movies and manga suits the character better.

That's my overall opinion on the remaster. I like that they're giving these old stories a new chance. I like that they're doing something with them. If they improve the pacing, fix the animation, and add some new things, I'll be happy. This gives the team more time to work on Moro and provides a more modern and enjoyable way to watch Super today. I think this could also be good for new fans.

One of the main criticisms from fans is that the anime staff for Super can't write Goku for shit on their own. They leaned too much into his stupidity & goofiness outside of battle. Goku CAN be goofy & stupid, but his personality's more laid back & just book dumb. And even then, you can get away with the "he's a dumb hick" jokes more when he's a kid, not so much when he's an adult in his 30s-40s. A joke here or there would suffice, not all the damn time. There's a nuance to writing him that they just don't get.
Now, I don't think a purely unhinged Toriyama's much better for Dragon Ball, as he's not great when you don't give him any limits, but he at least knows how to write his characters & tell a story (for the most part). Like, when Toriyama's behind the scripts, most of the time you know you're in for a good time.

At 6 episodes, that's almost 2 hours' worth of episodes. That's movie-length. But, yeah, I think the biggest things that the first 2 arcs suffer from are bad animation due to the rushed production & pacing due to them for some reason needing to fill out the runtime of 13-14 episodes. Once the arcs got going, nothing substantial was added from what they did in the movies, which is stupid because Res F would've worked much better if it were rewritten as a TV arc instead of a movie & they actually added tension & stakes to it.

[ZeroNeonix]

It's finally happening. Can the manga characters appear in the games now? Are they allowed to acknowledge they exist? lol

The writing is based entirely on direction given by people above the pay grade of freelance writers being brought on to create scripts for a series they are ultimately beholden to the whims of series directors and producers. The way that all of the characters are written with heightened traits is intentional to appeal to the general audiences watching the series and aren't exactly reflective of the staff's writing abilities, because they all ultimately work on other projects with other edicts that guide how they approach their writing, too.

Which is all to say, they just need to be told that they don't need to write the characters so big as a way to appealing to kids.

Unless they get adapted into the anime, no. The rights to use manga-only stuff are different from anime-only stuff for some reason. Hence why Sparking Zero could only get away with incidental references to the manga (like SS God Goku in his Res F gi just being the result of Super Goku having it be 1 of his alt outfits) or small direct references in movesets.

I mean, I assume they had normal writers that work for Toei on most of the scripts rather than freelancers. And even then, your point actually makes it worse because the showrunners should then know how the characters are supposed to be written & do corrections on the scripts. That's part of the whole point of a showrunner.
