"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[SaiyanZ]

Fat Beerus and female Whis look like a lot of fun, but I hope this isn't parallel universe stuff, where the other Gods of Destruction will just be purple cats, I'd like different designs for each one. If it does go that way though, I'm not totally resistant to the idea of there being similar looking Gods to Beerus and/or Whis. Also wish Vegeta wore his Buu arc outfit, not the Androids arc/BoG one

Toriyama couldve came up with something more original than fat beerus and female whis.

[Chuquita]

I'm behind the "we're gonna visit a parallel universe!" theory.

If that is what happens, I cannot wait to see what the alt versions of Gokû and Vegeta are like. X3

Hoping info explaining the splash appears soon.

Meanwhile I will continue to ride the high of maybe getting to see ssjg Gokû again.

[soulnova]

HOWEVER, I'm am astonished as Toriyama actually made a new character that is A WOMAN. if she's at the level of Whis that means that we finally get a woman in dbz that is on par with the saiyans and might even be above them.

Color me interested, this might not be so fucking terrible after all. Even if stuck in a mediocre era for a series revival.

So far, she's the thing that intrigues me the most. The prospect to have an actual strong female foe/ally after 20 something years since A-18 makes me all happy.

[JulieYBM]

There's a shot of Gokuu in the trailer with the background the same shade of purple that Kaiou's world is typically depicted with. In all likelihood Gokuu will be called by Kaiou to solve a problem, I would guess.

[goku the krump dancer]

Would be kinda funny if "Girl Whis" turned out to be really stern or tom boyish..

[JulieYBM]

This female that looks akin to Whis could be anything, although I suppose the real curveball would be to make her both. Beat the shit out of you one minute, want your children the next.

Sounds like an erotic comic character, actually...

[Beerus-sama]

This needs to happen!!
I'm all for these being the opposites of Beerus and Whis created by some event in the story.

[SSJ Human]

I'm liking Piccolo's prominence on that poster. Hoping that means he has a pretty big role in the new series.

I'm betting that. I hope so as well, since I mentioned that I believed the main characters would realistically be Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan.

[FutureGohanSSJ2]

Ok, not only is it before EoZ, it's BEFORE FnF!!!. Great! what else? at the end of the first arc Whis turns back time so we can see Goku's years of training in the afterlife!!! GREAT!..... bullcrap.

Who says it's beforr FnF? Because Goku goes regular SSJ? That means nothing. Geez dude. You're blaming the series for something that's YOUR fault. YOU wanted the series to be set after EoZ. YOU convinced yourself that it was the only logical way to go. But now that it's going another direction, it sucks? You've seen 15 seconds of footage and a poster. Please wait until you've actually seen the series before proclaiming how stupid it is or how bad it sucks.

I, for one, am literally too excited I can't contain myself.

At this point, i think it's safe to assume Super will take place between BoG and RoF...ot at least start right there, of course.
People might remember Ryusei Nakao (Freeza) said he would be in Super, maybe it's another hint that the new series will reach and get past RoF eventually.

Unless he's gonna voice a different Freeza from another universe.

Anyway, personally i think this is a good choice. We'll probably expand the story introduced in BoG while getting to learn when Vegeta acquired God, and how exactly they took control over God ki to the point of becoming SSGSS. If left untouched, RoF could mean they made it without much effort, but i'll be glad if they can show that wasn't the case.

[Ushabtis]

so if there really is alternate universes with important events being different. I really hope I get to see teen gohan again (just love that little guy). also I want a time line where Power pole becomes relevant, that silly pole is one of my favorite things in DBZ.

I'd also laugh if we went to the GT universe

[soulnova]

Well, at least we know the reason Toei had kept the visuals under-wraps all this time was to avoid the immediate backlash from "THOSE ARE THE 2008 TV SPECIAL+BOG CHARACTER DESIGNS!! "

I'm hoping hes there as Freeza for his backstory with Beerus

They're beautiful! I can certainly imagine DB on those songs.

[SSJGFrieza]

Evil Z fighters would be so boring and cliche, but why did i expect Toei and AT to take any risk and do this EoZ or make the other 11 universe completely original?

[Big Momma]

Trailer looked fun, promo image looks awesome (crossing my fingers that we'll finally see those other universes), and the OP/ED instrumentals sound great(if that's what was playing in the links...though they didn't sound like the song from the trailer IMO)!

I'm hyped and ready for July 5!

I think those are just generic music used to announce the singles, not the songs itselves.

It just happened recently with One Piece, there was a video exactly like that announcing the single, people thought the tune was the new opening, but it wasn't. If you go through other videos from that channel, you'll probably hear the same music in different videos.
