They whole parallel universe thing would be dumb, they should be their own universe with whole different races.
Maybe they are, maybe the first God they introduce is similar to Beerus to ease the viewer into it.

Races in the Living Realms sure, but Deities can be of the same race/kind, why not.

So we got
Fat Beerus
Female Whis
Krillin with hair
Goku and Vegeta in pre-RF outfits.

For the most part I like it, but it's still difficult to tell when this takes place.

And I doubt they'd give us twelve different versions of the same thing for different universes. I think this should be more of a big brother or something. I'm still excited either way.

I'm perfectly fine if this beginning arc takes place during the "Battle Of Gods" time period, but hopefully future arcs can go past the epilogue. I want to see Pan in action again!

And Yūko Minaguchi's back as Videl! HOORAY FOR EVERYTHING! :D That puts two fears to rest. I wonder if Yanami will reprise Kaiō, but as long as he's involved in some way, I'm golden. And it looks like everybody else is back, too! So everyone who was worried that Toei might pull a Sailor Moon and dump everyone but Nozawa can rest easy. :thumbup:

Did any new staff members get revealed on the site, Jacob? Anybody worth getting excited over?

Still can't wait to hear your thoughts on the newly-revealed staff for Digimon Adventure Tri, BTW.
The staff is still the same, including Yamamuro Tadayoshi as the character designer. We still don't know who is the series organizer (head writer, basically) so that's another thing to worry about. There wasn't a series organizer credited for most of the 1986 series, though, so maybe things can work out. Then again, there were two series directors for that series and more time available to the staff.

As for Digimon Adventure tri., I am surprised to see Kagawa Hisashi involved. I hope he brings along a lot of good animators along with him, especially if he is a 'main animator'--a credit Toei Animation almost never uses.

They most probably arent another gods of destruction, but more like a different version of the characters created by something... :o

Indeed. They might have Kaios and all that. Maybe the cat like creatures are of a "Destruction God Race".



I also vote for Princess Vegeta. :lol: She must also be tsundere for Evil Goku.

We already have alternate timelines for the same stuff. Let's keep the 12 universes "spheres/balls" with separate inhabitants.

I'd rather the poop Whis stepped on be the main villain.

Still, I'm interested in their role and personality.

just because Whis counterpart is a woman doesnt automatically means everyone has a diferent gender counterpart.
Beerus' one is the prove...

I guess the first arc will fill in the gap between BoG and Resurrection F, explaining what led to Vegeta getting his God powers and he and Vegeta training with Whis.

Fat Beerus!
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Fat Beers is probably what the 'inner Beers' looks like while Female Whis is what Whis looks like in the inside.

I was thinking something like that now that I see them...
Beerus one reflects how much he likes to eat while Whis one shows how... delicate he is? :eh:

Muscular Beerus! Old Beerus! Happy Beerus! Even Skinnier Beerus! Useless universe where Beerus is just a regular cat with no powers whatsover!

Cat's already own the internet, so perhaps all gods of destruction are cat people.....cats...cats everywhere.... :wtf:
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

What if every universe simply has a parallel version? That way, there's room for more options.
