I'd like for Toriyama to continue writing the series and have Toyotaro draw it. I'd also love for the fanbase to stop taking the series so seriously, and whining every time Toriyama does something that goes against their assumptions and expectations.

I won't even bother making a list because everything I want has been covered by other people, so many great ideas and opportunities in this thread! If anything I just want 17 and 18 to get some more screen-time, I doubt we will ever see 17 again though.

I've never really considered Trunks gay, Yamcha maybe. When it comes down to it, we know Toriyama doesn't really care for romance in this franchise and LBGTs are usually portrayed as overly-stereotyped caricatures of people anyway.

Nice thinking outside of the box though! :D

Some of these borderline homophobic comments are disgusting. If you plan on going down that rabbit hole any deeper, please just leave us now before it gets absolutely embarrassing for everyone.

I'd like to see 2-3 sequels to FnF.

in FnF, Vegeta Becomes a god

In Sequel one, Gohan becomes a god

In Sequel Two, Piccolo becomes a god or equivalent.

In Sequel three, a threat appears that forces Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Beerus to team up

It hasn't been released there yet ? With how big the series is I though it was pretty much everywhere at this point.

I'm no expert, and I've only recently come back to the world of DragonBall, but I don't think they've released anything yet :(

If that happened I would welcome the sweet embrace of death. Broly needs to just stop being a thing and fade away.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Personally what I would like to see out of the franchise is a Broly spin-off manga written and illustrated by Toriyama that shows his in-depth journey through the universe and eventual reformation, eventually gaining omnipotence and watching over the omniverse, over the course of at least 600 chapters.

A spin off series starring SSJ Bardock back in the ancient past, traveling through space as a lone gunslinger type. Sci fi western with Bardock as the protag. Fuck yeah.

Hmmm.... Things I want...

1. A Kanzenban English release uncut and perfectly translated by a reliable source truly dedicated to the material with side notes regarding some possible awkward translations and all bonus materials (if there are any) kept.

2. The full release of the full color editions of Dragon Ball following the same process as the Kanzenban releases.

3. An anime reboot with a great budget, animation, and music (with no girl group J-pop unless it somehow fits the scenario) with either a new consistent art style (maybe Toriyama's new style) or a constantly changing art style to match the style of the manga. Oh yes also with the old voice actors reprising their roles at their peak.

4. An anime spin off based on Mr. Satan following the world's interpretation of him starting from his early days to the end of the Boo arc. It would basically be a cool, dramatic story of Mr. Satan totally told straight to the point where it would be downright hilarious. To further clarify, it would be an anime series where Mr. Satan actually did defeat Cell and expose his tricks and all that jazz.

5. While this is heavily inspired by an earlier podcast I've heard from Kanzenshuu and not necessarily strictly pertaining to Dragon Ball, I would absolutely love it if there was a Super Smash Bros style game in which all of the Toriyama chibi characters would fight against one another. This would that there would be characters like kid Goku, Arale, Jaco, the Gatchans, Toki, the Nekomajins, and Beelzebub would all be playable. Also it would be for 3DS because that's pretty much the only modern game system I've got.

A GT redux series (Heck even a manga.) That retells the series but with a LOOOOOT of fixes and such to make it flow better. There are great ideas there but they need a great team behind them to make said ideas shine. Other then that a new series? Maybe a spin off Jaco animated series?
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.

Hopefully they'll animate the manga and DB-.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Speaking of spinoffs, i had this idea

Dragonball Gaiden: I series of side stories focusing on lesser used characters, most of which are AUs. Each story is one arc long, lasting 12 or so episodes

Toriyama progressing the story beyond the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai.

Toriyama getting a lore master/fact checker/someone to run all of his ideas through the ocean of already established in-universe information during the planning stages.

I'd rather watch the first 15 episodes of GT on loop for 24 hours straight than see that even get one chapter.
