So, like, what are we talking about?

Are we talking about a scene of Goku turning SSJ4, confident he can beat Beerus, and getting his ass annihilated?

Because that would just be filler (we already know Beerus is beyond anything Goku has before the ritual), but I won't deny that the reaction of the fandom to Beerus destroying SSJ4 on screen would be quite phenomenal.

I feel like you're trolling with this convo & the logic you're using in your last several posts.

A trailer for a project coming out in nine-plus months is not going to be wholly representative of the final project. Shots in the trailer will inevitably be changed by the time those episodes come out and then probably changed again for the Blu-ray release.

I would agree with you if this was a full-blown remake from the ground up, but a glorified remaster ? I just can't see Ssj4 Goku making an appearance.

Super is already connected to Daima by virtue of the fact that Gowasu and other Super-original Kaioshin appear in Daima. No more "connections" are required.

Jiren and Zamasu appear in both Super and Heroes, does that mean the two shows are now connected ? Characters appearing in multiple shows doesn't automatically connect them.

We do not need to make a big deal out of, "We don't know precisely what the final project is going to be based solely on the few things that we have been told nine-plus months before it is released." I have not said one way or the other that such-and-such will definitely happen. I'm not making definitive statements about such-and-such transformation is going to happen, other than those shots present in the trailer will inevitably be touched up more because that is how the anime industry inevitably works when you have a trailer months before release.

No, I'm not. I see you wanna argue in this thread, but I'd rather not be personally involved in any drama. Let's simply agree to disagree. Have a good day.

The trailer was short, but pretty indicative of what's going to be in the remaster. No dialogue changes, no big changes to the sequence of events or serious additions outside of aligning certain things closer to the Battle of Gods movie (the manga severely truncated the movie's version of the story to 4 chapters, so there's nothing from that to add minus the stuff with Champa & Vados that takes place after the story), so it's not likely to have anything that wasn't there before or anything they feel like adding from the manga. It's like Kai where there wasn't any major dialogue changes from Z or the manga when they rerecorded the dialogue. I doubt we'll get anything more or less.
But, glad we're on the same page.

I feel like if Super continues up to Granolah, it will for sure reference the broader cosmology that Daima introduced, because that arc in the manga already mentions that Namekians originally come from another dimension. I'd imagine maybe just a 5 second visual flashback to namekians on their original demon world planet while Monaito explains.

I don't expect anything beyond that. No super saiyan 4 or anything. I'd be kinda sad if the form immediately becomes Beerus fodder before being written out.

Agreed. It'll go as far as some of the lore established in Daima, but not much further.

Y'know, Super: Beerus' announcement and Super: The Galactic Patrol bring me back to 2013. Does anyone remember this trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwIs718L2eU)? When this game was coming out, Battle of Gods hadn't been dubbed by Funimation (now Crunchyroll) yet. But seeing DBZ make a big comeback and hearing Beerus and Whis dubbed for the first time was a surreal experience for a fan like me who spent his whole childhood up to his teen years in a Dragon Ball drought. The games and merch were really the only things keeping Dragon Ball alive back then. But 2013 changed everything. And sure, Super and beyond didn't exactly live up to my hopes of a new DB series, but regardless, Dragon Ball returned. And now, I'm getting those vibes again. I think whenever we hear Moro and Merus dubbed in the games (maybe a trailer like the one I linked above), it'll really bring me back. I guess, long story short, just like in 2013, it feels like we're entering a new age of Dragon Ball (literally when you consider Age 1000).

And I just thought about something else. The timing of this announcement works out perfectly for people like Chris Sabat. My Hero Academia just ended and even though All Might already wasn't a big player towards the latter half of MHA, Sabat was still featured throughout. With MHA over, Super returning gives him another source of steady income. That and Black Clover returning this year too. But yeah, really excited that Dragon Ball's back, obviously.

[JulieYBM]

Sabat owns a recording studio, so he's not exactly hard up for cash.

That being said, I have to wonder how far ahead Super: Beerus is going to be recorded. Anime is normally recorded a month before it airs, but given how old the cast is now, I imagine they're bending over backwards so that Nozawa can take more time to record episodes.

Good point, but still, it's just another source of income to replace the fact that MHA ended. And yeah, I think they're trying to get as much out of Nozawa's voice as they can. I hope they're not going to overwork her given how old she already is.

I think Super getting rebooted from the very beginning would have been a the perfect opportunity to recast everyone with younger people, something they should've done all the way back in 2009 when Kai started. Daima should have been Nozawa's swan song, as she got to play both adult and kid Goku in that series; the perfect way to end her tenure as Goku.

I agree, but I think Nozawa is in it for the long haul. That woman seems very much like a real-life Goku. She won't stop until she literally can't do it anymore and I respect that greatly. Hopefully, though, they have an understudy who is ready to replace her if anything happens. And I'm sure whoever that is will be much younger. At the youngest, 20s and at the oldest, 50s, I think.

Also, I just want to say I love this new age of anime we're in where it's quality over quantity. Like with One Piece now moving to a more seasonal format AND it getting "The One Piece" remake. And now Super is doing that too, which is great. I think a seasonal format will help older actors like Nozawa by giving them less material to have to voice over.

So, to my knowledge, they dub episodes in Japan as soon as the animation's finished with multiple cast members watching the scenes & recording their lines if they share scenes together, judging by behind the scenes clips I've seen. Seeing as they only had 6 episodes & what seems like a good amount of the animation finished by the time that trailer came out & depending on how much rerecording they had to do, it might not have taken much time at all. Now they're just waiting to air them. Possibly on Netflix again.

Apparently, Sean Schemmel had been talking about it to some degree before the announcement was made, so maybe they've been dubbing the episodes already. I certainly hope so. I hope Toei & Crunchyroll learned from the criticism of Daima not having a simuldub. That's still 1 of the most baffling decisions they made.

I am afraid, that we are in it like with Joji Yanami (Kai-oh, narrator). Nozawa still performs unbelievably well, with exception for SSJ4 Kid Goku in Sparking Zero, where her combo of kid and deep for SSJ4 hits the previously nonexistant limits.

Damn, I will be super sad when we lose the voice of Goku, in comparison to younger actors like Lunch, she sounds immortal in performance still. Even Vegeta is showing more cracks since Kai.
I just recently started to watch DB from beginning with the broadcast audio and I expected her to sound quite different from nowadays… hell no, I was actually taken a back how she still sounds virtually on point to her Goku debut.

I really hope that I will hear Nozawa still in Galactic Patrol. But don’t wanna experience another moment, like with Yanami at the start of Super, where he really didn’t sound well at all, his performance seriously limited by health and it was quite sad to hear him like this. I am quite torn, as I get the respectful approach, but at what cost. That the performance wasn’t on par wasn’t even a thought, I just felt bad for Yanami. It’s like witnessing your childhood idol actually dying during performance.

I don’t expect the situation with Nozawa in future being any different, always hate to discuss living people like they being dead already and just hope that they will handle any situation in the future with utmost care.

I'm assuming that Nozawa will still be around for a few more years. I do hope that she's teaching someone how to do the voice, though, so it doesn't sound too off. A situation like Daman Mills learning how to do Chris Ayres' Freeza voice would be good so that Toei's not left in the lurch when the time comes & they have a competent voice impression to use that doesn't sound too different from the original.

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

Nozawa surely has an understudy. She has given decades of memorable performances for Goku across gsmes, series, movies and wouldn't want that character she's established in the collective Dragon Ball consciousness to just be thrown away.
