If they made more specials: When would they take place?

Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Like some of the others said, more things within the 10 year skip. If they do make more; put Table to more use, like have Goku or Vegeta train him without being too serious.

If they end up going through GT's story, I'd love to see what Mr. Toriyama could do with the GT characters.

Not all that different from the kids, except they never have any dignity.
And by virtue of being on all lists, Goku and Vegeta would be on a list of characters that suck anyway.
Yes. But they're also on the list of "characters that are awesome even when they suck". None of the half-breeds are on this list.
Last I checked, Chichi wasn't exactly that much of a fighter either. I suppose that means she deserves less fans than Raditz? :D
She already has less fans than Raditz. :(

There's a difference between kids acting like kids, and a grown man acting like a spoiled brat. =p

But then they'd also be on a list of characters that always suck. This could continue ad infinitum, the logic is non-existant here.

Where in the world does Raditz have fans? =p

Ad infinitum is as nothing to Vegetto.

He doesn't interfere with Goku/Vegeta slashfic. :P

Ditto.

I would like to see a GT special staring an Adult Trunks and Goten. I know, I know, maybe its too soon to have another "retard twins' special" (kudos to the guy who made up that phrase first) but secretly I always wanted to see a adult version of Gotenks.

Ah fuck it, after watching the Jump special I don't care what they do next, as long as they just DO IT I'll be more than happy.

Me too, except for the "secretly" part.

Toei-animated shorts based on the live action movie universe?

Hour-long films of Piccolo standing in one place?

Using the Faulconer tracks?

I'd like most to be in the 5 years between Buu and the last time they all got together mentioned just prior to the 28th Budokai. I'd also like that occasion to be one of them. I'd like to see something with Goku, Pan and Uub meeting Neko Majin (Z), and something post-28th Budokai. Lastly, a random meet up with Arale.

Something including a chunk digging further into the past of the Saiyans, with new stuff revealed about them and Freeza's background.
Just Saiyan...

Generally everything that's already been said. The ten year gap is one of the few places in Dragon Ball where new stories can be made which don't interfere with the existing cannon. Possibly explain why Tarble isn't mentioned come ten years time?

Also, a new Dragon Ball series which picks up where Z ended, thus eliminating GT's storyline entirely, would be awesome, particularly in Toriyama-sensei continued the manga along with it :D

And as SaiyaMel ahs just said, something which focuses on the Saiyans and Frieza would be great as well. I'm sure there's a lot that can be done there. And just cause I love Mirai Trunks, a special to do with him would be good as well. So many things I wanna see, specially after seeing how well they handled the new special.

I agree that a special with Future Trunks as the main focus would be redundant, as he's had his own special. That said, I'd love to see a special that actually has him in it. I mean, was the last thing he appeared in Movie 9?

Lol, sorry. What I meant to say was a special that brings him back to the normal timeline for some reason or another. Either that or they could always do a special on his world in the post-android era. I mainly just wanna see Mirai Trunks redrawn using the new type of animation :P

Hmm...but anyways, I guess there's a possibility that Toriyama could do a special based on Dragon Ball Online, maybe showing how it fits into the DB universe, or perhaps what has happened between the end of Z and the beginning of Online? I noticed some interesting pictures in that history book shown on the trailer...

Maybe make a series of like 15 minute specials that give certain characters more background. Like show some of Radditz' past. He must have been on another planet at the time of his planet's destruction, so maybe give us some stories there.

Or maybe one that shows how Yamucha becomes a desert bandit.

Give Kame-sennin some extra backstory. His first Kamehameha and such.

Give us a special that shows Appule became a henchmen because he was abused as a child.

The possibilities are endless.

A 15min or so special for background story for characters are good.

This is actually quite an interesting idea, so long as you completely ignore the Appule suggestion ;P But I'd especially like to see a bit of Raditz back story. The only thing is, using these back stories would make it much hard to incoporate much, if any, real nostalgia in to subsequent specials.

But hey, who's to say they actually will be doing more? Of course, I'd love them to, but as far as I was aware, this is meant to be a one off, right?

I also think Tenshinhan and Chaozu have great backstory possibilities.

And no, I don't believe these specials would ever happen.

I don't think any of these ideas are likely, but it's fun to speculate and think of how great it would be.

I'd like to see something between Cell and Great Saiyaman, even if Goku isn't there. Maybe Trunks and Goten being four and five years old would be cute ^^ And Piccolo as the nanny XD
