"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[LightBing]

I think we should keep an open mind, EoZ has high probability of being retconned. I mean Mr Toriyama or Toei could introduce plot holes that don't agree, setting themselves up for it. Or Mr Toriyama could very well change his mind mid-DBS and introduce Uub sooner or not at all, the man's not exactly picky. The possibilities are endless.

[Chuquita]

I always appreciate some endless possibilities. :3

I'm not that worried, I think it's because I have no plot expectations since we still don't know what the plot is.

[Doctor.]

He must be outside all day and night thinking how he will surpass Kakarot.

Please not again

[Lord Beerus]

I will laugh my ass off if the first episode of Super is set before EOZ and then in the second episode, it skips 20 years past EOZ.

[Chuquita]

It'd be an interesting case if it turns out that Vegeta's the first one to meet the new bad guys (like how Piccolo was the first to meet Raditz).

I enjoy that Gokû and Vegeta are mostly-friends now if this is soon after F; it means antics may inevitably happen.
I'm still anxiously awaiting getting to actually watch that scene with flustered Vegeta and the hands.

[Ushabtis]

Why are we thinking Turnks is short?

Because otherwise he has a giant, monstrous head.

Have you seen Mr. Satan? plus where does Trunks's head look huge?

If it contradicts the manga, then it is false.

I thought about that possibility.
This teaser being just a big troll and everything was just a recap about what everyone was doing in these 10 peaceful years. And then Super would take place after EOZ.
But I won't hold my breath. I'm not that optimistic.

[LightBing]

I can see Vegeta always making sure Trunks is one step ahead of Goten and bragging to Goku. All in good fun of course, with Goku completely oblivious.

I see what you mean, we would have to deal with it and accept or reject for our own personal peace. Mr Toriyama would probably provide an explanation of why he changed his manga ending(if it happens).

[EXBadguy]

Instead of EoZ, how about an EoGT? Think about it, maybe we could've had a sequel that'd retcon that GT lost episode. Just find a good writer, then we're good. I'd say that would've been another option other than going EoZ.

Now fucking Naruto has more progression than the current DB cuz he freaking has children and the story keeps up with the new generation, it could have gone prequel bullshit but it didn't as as much as current naruto is not what it was, it took a better approach than db..

The 42 volume manga isn't going anywhere, really. You don't have to take this new stuff into account (as I'm sure you don't). I certainly don't take Minus into account just because it was made by Toriyam when talking about Dragon Ball at all.

[Chuquita]

Is a complete retcon of EoZ even possible at this point? Wouldn't Shueisha try to prevent it so it wouldn't mess with GT, Heroes, etc?

We'll have to see with Kai.

It'll be weird to see Kai displaying the epilogue and then jumping right back a few years before a week later

[Ushabtis]

>contradicts the ending of the manga.
What if Super is its own timeline meaning it won't go EOZ route and do its own thing, like GT?

Kai preview showed Uub so looks like it is staying.

Doubt it. GT gone his own route because there was nothing to follow.
Super has the last movies and EOZ. And seems like its stuck between both.

When the author of said Manga does it, no.

[Doctor.]

I've been listening to the OST of some of the game cutscenes and some are really good. Like this one for example. Who composed the songs for Ultimate Tenkaichi?

[Chuquita]

It'd be nice if we get that splash image this evening.

[MajinMan]

Darn, I was hoping it to take place after EOZ. There's still a chance that it still will but we know at least that it starts before it. People are saying it takes place before BOG because of the characters clothes but since Beerus and Whis are there, I'm pretty sure it has to take place at least after BOG. They also mentioned that a new villian stronger than Freeza will appear, which makes it likely that it's after ROF as well. I really don't care if Goku turned into a regular SSJ instead of a blue one because that doesn't really affect anything. Either way I'm still excited to see what's in store. Animation looks pretty good as well, but all we got were images, so we don't really know what it looks like in motion.
