99% of people still don't realize what this is and will be and will not do, so no matter how many times you try to tell them and no matter what happens they will not understand it until the thing starts to air.
And then when it airs they will then start complaining about how it's not the fanfiction they made in their heads and how it was actually deceitful advertisement and they were fooled into getting their hopes up and more.

What leads you to believe that any of this will happen?

I mean, yeah, people will always complain about something, but I'm just curious what specific moments inspired this particular post from you?

Basic general observations of how fanbases and fandoms and people in them behave and seeing them happen time and time again through the years.
First example that comes to mind right now about people upset their fanfic headcanons are not real is Genshin and how every time a new character is released they totally got "rewritten" at the last minute because clearly that's how game development pipelines work. Second that comes to mind now that I'm writing this is the harassment the Gachiakuta author lady was getting. Another one now is that one recent is the Digital Circus harassment thingy too. Thanks algo from giving me fandom drama of things I'm not even into.
Anyway, if you want "hard proof" though I really don't have any and it's not something I'd like to spend time going looking for either so it's really just Source: Dude, trust me.

[Scsigs]

So, to state this because someone said on the last page that people should temper their expectations, here's what I'm expecting them to fix with the writing & animation.
1. The off-model moments, replaced with better ones, which it looks like they have.
2. Better pacing. So much padding was added tot he last 2 Z movies & in some places, this is also a problem in the arcs afterwards.
3. Fixing Goku's characterization. Goku got heavily flanderized in Super into an actual idiot with the patience of a child. Goku's not stupid. He's just not book smart & sometimes doesn't have common sense. He also knows how to be mature. He's not the single-minded fight-happy idiot he was portrayed as to make cringey comedy moments that he was in the Super anime. I also just don't feel that kind of comedy fits Goku's character.

If they fix these problems & turn out a good product, I'll be satisfied.

No, no, I understand all that. Fandom is shit. What I don't understand was what was specifically your reason for needing to express that within the context of this thread, because I wasn't sure if it was based on a line of discussion that I had missed within this thread, because it's kind of hard to engage with the post at all as-is lol

Man, I just love how they're promoting Super this time around. It's a far cry from the rushed and lazy promotion it got almost eleven years ago back in 2015. Now, they're hyping it up the way it deserved to be originally. Super Kai wasn't on my bingo card for this year, but I'm really glad we're getting it. So, many moments will shine much better (hopefully) in this upcoming remake:

- Goku vs. Beerus' first fight
- The entire Resurrection 'F' arc as a whole
- All the U6 tournament fights
- Future Trunks' return and arc
- Vegetto Blue vs. Zamasu
- ToP characters getting more background like Kale and Cauliflia (hopefully like in the manga)
- All the ToP fights

And if they do the Broly and Super Hero stuff again:

- Maybe the cut Broly movie content can be adapted now
- Super Hero prequel stuff getting adapted

All in all, I'm a happy Dragon Ball fan. And despite, not liking Super back when it first aired, this time, I'm going into it with more of an open mind. After all, as a kid, I always wanted a new Dragon Ball series and despite Super not being set after EoZ like I wanted, it's the closest thing we'll ever get with Toriyama's input for a new series. With that in mind, I'm just going to appreciate this remake and Super for giving me things I did want as a kid: female Super Saiyans, Future Trunks returning, Android 17 returning, both the Potara and Metamoran fusions coming back with Vegetto and Gogeta, new transformations, etc.

And even better, we're also getting the Moro arc and most likely beyond arcs adapted into the anime too.

[The Dark Knight]

Although the CGI was nowhere near as bad as I feared it would, I really hope Superhero gets re-animated in Shintani's style, as nothings comes close to the traditional 2D style when it's done right.

Just one example that took literal seconds to dig up, because it's right at the top right now today at this very moment.

This is pretty constant -- "people" are casual observers online. They barely read headlines, nevermind body content. The fact that this individual realized it before it aired is pretty impressive!

And really, no shame to people here, and I'm not trying to spotlight this one individual and laugh at them -- I'm just using it as a real-life example of what's being discussed here. There it is right there.

If they fixed number 3 which is DBS Goku, then that will greatly improve DBS. That will change how I rate DBS.

[GurixDr34]

I would like to see references to Daima in this new version of Battle of Gods Daima as a new Dragon Ball product should be referenced as an event that occurred shortly before Super i just watched the original Battle of Gods movie from 2013 and i didnt remember and was surprised that Goku bled while fighting Beerus

Funny thing is, I remember episode 14 being really good? Though I guess it did indeed have some pretty off-model art. Just, it worked out because the actual movement was strong. But I distinctly recall that, after being really negative on the arc as a whole, I thought the finale was great.

[The Dark Knight]

According to DbsHype and Venixys:

The Beerus arc will be 6 episodes.

The Resurrection F arc will be 5-6 episodes.

The Champa arc will be 7-8 episodes.

The vast majority of events (so not all of them) within these three arcs will follow the anime.

The first two arcs are 80-95% complete, while the Champa arc is 60-65% complete.

My thoughts:

I'm really surprised with how short these arcs are, especially Champa, as I thought it would be 9-10 episodes long, but 7 ? that's basically the duration of what it would've been had it been a movie. This changes my predictions for how long I think the Black arc will be, as I now believe it might be as few as 10 episodes compared to my original prediction of 15. If things remain on the shorter end of things, we could reach the Tournament of Power before episode 30; that's insane. For comparison with the original anime, we started that arc in episode 77.

As for the events of the remake sticking to the anime (with a few exceptions from the manga where possible), this is not surprising, as it's still the base for this entire project. You can rest easy if you like Blue Kaioken and Blue Evolution, as those will very likely make the cut, as will Goku's fight with Kefla. What I'm interested in seeing is whether or not SsjG will be in the Champa and Black arcs, as well as whether or not Black uses his original Ssj form; I think these should be simple enough changes to include somehow.

The final point I want to comment on is the extremely healthy production schedule, as by the time the first episode airs, they will be deep into production on the Black arc and very likely doing early work for the Jiren arc (that's what I'm calling it now; Tournament of power is too long ). For comparison, Super 1.0 didn't have a single episode complete by the time it started airing in 2015, while this version will have THREE entire arcs wrapped and ready to go. They're taking everything they learned while working on Daima and applying it here.

[angeldreamZ004]

If that leak about the number of episodes in each arc is real, then I think it makes sense and only convinces me even more that with “more faithful to the manga” they indeed referred solely or at least mostly to the pacing, and not that + the narrative and conceptual differences.
7 or 8 episodes may seem short, but let’s remember that the 40-45 pages format we're all used to was not a thing at the beginning of the manga. Most chapters were 20 pages long at best, with the Champa arc slowly increasing to 30, then the last chapter of that arc is where the usual 40 pages format starts.

Beerus arc is very short in the manga and by following it the anime adaptation probably should be around only 4 or 3 episodes, especially because 20 pages per chapter would translate to an even shorter arc in animation format. But let's also remember that the manga skips parts of BoG, while the anime will try to cover the entire story just like the 2015 version did (much slower and with “filler” of course), so it makes sense why the anime will have 6 episodes for that arc.

The Champa arc is 9 chapters long in the manga, and most of them are shorter than 40 and 30 pages, so I can see that arc translating well to 8 or even 7 episodes in the anime.

The Zamasu arc is 13 chapters long in the manga, with all chapters following the 40-45 pages format. So that would require a larger arc in the anime with more episodes.
If I had to guess, maybe 14-16 episodes?

Then there's the ToP which is 16 chapters, and many people say that it's rushed in the manga, so this one is a bit harder, but I can see from 20 to 24 episodes for it, it was the best well produced arc in the old anime so they'll very likely want to save a lot from it for this remake.
I think it's a good decision if they really want to have the pacing closer to the manga.

But all this said, I believe we don't have to expect the differences. Iyoku talks about this remake as a visual enhancement, you don't see them talking about featuring the differences present in the manga. The closest to this is basically them saying that they want to make it more faithful to Toriyama's view of the story, and also the "reconstructed narrative” part, but honestly even that can be simply referring to the pacing, because by skipping and cutting many scenes, you're indeed reconstructing the narrative.
Now I think the name “Super Kai” makes even more sense, because DBKai wasn't a recreation of the Raditz-Boo portion of Toriyama's manga, it was simply the old DBZ anime but shorter, ignoring the filler and Toei original creations in order to make it more “faithful” to the manga, but essentially it was still the same anime from 90s in its spirit.
Super Kai will be the same thing, but with the major difference being the visual enhancement and the scenes reanimated from scratch.

So I would personally recommend everyone to not even expect the visual manga differences to be present anymore. No SSJ God Goku prior to ToP, no SSJ God Vegeta, no shirtless Zamasu, no Gohan vs Kefla, no SSJ1 Goku Black, no Beerus vs Hakaishins, etc. If these moments happen, great, but if everything continues the same way as as how it was in 2015 anime, then I see no reason for surprise, Like I said before, they'll very likely only change and make more faithful to the manga what they already had in hand from the 2015 anime, that is their basis, it's an enhancement and not a recreation.
Unfortunately I believe most people still expect this to feature most if not all of the manga differences. So I can already see a lot of people complaining and hating on this remake during its run, and they'll say stuff like “we didn't want this, in the official site it said it would be more faithful to the manga, but it's not”. Unless the latest trailer already made the majority lower their expectations by seeing SSJ1 Goku vs Beerus, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, let's at least appreciate the redone visuals and voice acting. I personally really hope the Golden Freeza arc will be indeed one chapter less, if they won't improve that story in any way, I'm pretty sure only 5 episodes are more than enough for that arc that has very little to tell in comparison to the following ones, just give it better animation and no one will complain (well, maybe people will complain about the story, but it's the same from 11 years ago and they want to keep it that way, so there's nothing really that can be done about it lol)

Episode 1 for Goku & Vegeta's training and Freeza's resurrection. Ep 2 for Freeza's invasion and the battle between his soldiers and the Dragon team. Ep 3 for Goku & Vegeta's arrival on earth and Base (or Beyond God) Goku vs Final Form Freeza. Ep 4 for SSJB Goku vs Golden Freeza. Ep 5 for SSJB Vegeta vs Golden Freeza, Earth's Destruction, Goku kills Freeza. Perfect.

Also, hope there will be no musical downgrade. I really like Sumitomo's score for the anime and also how they reused his score from Kai Boo Saga in the original anime. Losing that + songs like Ultimate Battle would be a huge letdown to me.

[The Dark Knight]

I can't wait to see how they handle Resurrection F, as that's when the production truly fell apart. Out of the 5 arcs Super originally had, I think this one will benefit the most from this project. I am curious as to how many scenes will have to be redone from the ground up compared to BOG, which so far looks like only episode 5 needed that kind of treatment. If I remember correctly, things crashed in RF once the fighting started, so they have their work cut out for them.

[Vectur123]

Like, there's no world where they replace Goku's badass kamehameha wave vs. Kefla with Gohan off-screening Kefla.

Toyotaro's take on the Tournament of Power was like... He had some neat ideas. It could have been interesting. If only he wasn't trying to cram three chapters' worth of development into every chapter. It's such a weird mess sandwiched between the quite solidly paced Future Trunks arc and the manga-original Moro arc which I also think flowed nicely. I guess probably because the TV series had wrapped up by then and someone, perhaps Toyotaro himself or perhaps the higher-ups at Shueisha, wanted the manga to seize on the opportunity to tell its own, new stories?

I still dream that one day in the future, we'll have a kazenban version of the Super manga that can add the story of Ressurection of Frieza's (completing that promotional manga for the movie) and maybe some extra pages in BoG and ToP.

[The Dark Knight]

According to Geekdom, there are talks that neither the Black arc nor the Tournament of Power arc will be getting remade, which means fans will be expected once again to jump between different versions of Super to get the full story. With that said, he thinks that something was lost in translation, and what's going on is that they simply didn't start working on them because they're focused on wrapping up RF and the Champa arc. I personally lean towards this, because why would you skip the two most popular arcs Super has to offer ? There's also the fact that the project aims to streamline Super, which can't happen without these two.

[angeldreamZ004]

So according to this rumor, apparently most of the production team has been moved to work in the Moro Arc. Which made the Super Remake stagnate in the Champa arc.

Geekdom in his video suggests that this may be just a temporary thing, and that the remake will be resumed eventually so it can be finished.
In case it's real, I really hope it's just a temporary thing indeed, because if they decide to not work on the Zamasu and ToP arcs, it will not only strongly disappoint many people who are waiting for this remake only for these two arcs, but it would also be one of the biggest blasphemies done to the franchise ever since.....I don't know...maybe Kai Boo Saga and that terrible visual quality?
Imagine this stopping at the Champa Arc, and then, Moro is next?

I would accept if the Broly story was not covered by this remake, but the two arcs that literally made Super so damn popular and explode in SNS and globally? It goes beyond me, why even do this remake, waste the time, the resources on it then? "SUPER Begins" and then just stops in the middle, then skips to 3 arcs later lol

Anyway, if it's real, I believe it's more likely just a temporary thing, I just can't see a reality where they won't complete this remake.

(Also, I really like how Geekdom in his video said that the remake will very likely not be closer to the manga in regards to having drastic changes, that they will only be making it look more similar to the manga what they already have as basis from the original Super anime. Which is the way I'm currently seeing this remake now since the last trailer came out, it's just the original Super anime but shorter, visually better and with a few changes, while the "more faithful to the manga" talk is mostly related to the pacing only. I hope more people start to accept that, so there won't be a riot once they start airing the Zamasu Arc.)

[The Dark Knight]

What would make this worse is that 2 of the 3 arcs they remade already have movies that look good and are paced just right, so if you were just going to do 3 arcs, why not start with Champa instead ? If this report is going around because some of the staff is moving on to Moro, it's worth considering that the longer Super went on, the better it looked, so "remaking" Zamasu and TOP will not require the same time, resources, and manpower that the first three arcs needed. The tournament in particular could get away with mostly just a cut in content, as visually, it already looks really good.
