It doesn't really. Dragon Ball Super's story can still happen without disrupting events in any major way in the manga.

Even if it does take place after EOZ, characters like Beerus and Whis can still show up. It can be explain that Beerus over slept for his rematch with Goku and went up awaking up 5-10 years after ROF.

^Exactly this.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

And of course they will never get the chance to have their rematch, because a common threat will emerge, similar to what happened with Goku's previous rivals, Piccolo and Vegeta :)

I can agree with that.

I remember a few years ago, there was someone on these forums who kept abbreviating things, and it got the the point where they were abbreviating entire random phrases, and I had no idea what in the world they were talking about. :lol:

I really hope that in the dragon ball super anime they add a scene similar to this picture in where we get to see goku travel into a universal dimensional hole that bring him to a complete different universe with complete different type of gods, civilizations and reality, and i want goku to train there and become the strongest character ever!!!

But really i hope that who ever will be making that anime, really sees this concept art and implements that idea into it cause it looks freaking awesome.
Ohh and young kids who will be watching it will be blown away by it!

A little late, but after the "Sexy Goku" talk from a few pages back, I decided to whip this up:

It's not too late. The song itself hasn't even premiered yet.
I've been half tempted to draw a parody album cover for Super's opening with "attempting to look sexy, but failing due to discomfort and not knowing really how Gokû". :3

It was the artist who's singing Super's opening I think.

I'm entertained personally because Gokû's more of a "cute" character to me and him attempting to act sexy I imagine would result with the same awkwardness his attempt to act polite to Beerus in BOG was (desu). X3

I imagine this person is into some weird shit. Any time the word sexy comes up, I expect they're into that thread people got going on in the fan section.

Yes it does matter. I have been waiting for Akira Toriyama to continue this story for so long, i never gave up hope that he would one day return to it, but if Super does take place after the latest film then my hope for a series done by Akira Toriyama after the end of z will be gone.

-Saying a character is sexy

-'into some weird shit'

...something of a tenuous connection, I would hazard.

I wouldn't say 'gone'. There's no guarantee that this will be the last thing he ever does for the series.

Goku's a cartoon character. A regular shmoe. Sexy is an odd word to describe him. Dude isn't one of those bishonen or attractive characters, nor is he aimed to be one. It's weird to call Goku sexy.

"Regular shmoe"

The dude is ripped as hell and has been refered to as attractive in universe before.
Sexy is different for different people and Goku definitely fits the criteria for some.

Dude's chiseled more than anything, and is a kids character. Not gonna argue this as this has absolutely no real contribution or real relevance to Super.

In the assumed 5yrs of peace before EoZ they can still make it possible having a threat within that timeframe, lets say something happens that makes someone wish for shenron that they forget what transpired in those 5yrs. (just throwing out ideas) wouldnt really mind the story continuing after FnF) worst case scenario is Goku and Vegeta are the only ones that gets into fights while the other z-warriors are having fun on earth.

I have a feeling that we're going to see the Z-fighters get interesting roles and take up more screen time. I can picture Krillin becoming a member of the Galactic Patrol, and then whenever he gets a call from Jaco, he transforms into his Galatic Patrolman outfit and flys off, it would be great. :D He's already a cop, so why not be a galactic cop?
