It would be convenient if we had a name for this guy :lol: But I don't really want to see him turn good or anything. He does have a sinister look in his eye though. With the Earth at his fingertip like that I don't think he'll have great intentions!

March 2016: ROF premiere on Japanese TV
March 2016 - July 2016: DB Super between ROF/Movie#3
July 2016: Movie #3 premiere, finishing Gods arc
July 2016: DB Super (or different name) with a brand new story arc POST-EOZ

Get on it Toei/Toriyama.

She looks healthy for her age so I don't see why not especially since she likes doing what she does and the studio probably doesn't over work her.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Fat Beerus has the Earth on his finger, and looking with a smirk on his face. I'm pretty sure he's an enemy. :eh:

Still doesnt change that she's old now and voices 3 characters, thats a little too much for an old woman to work on imo, and this is dragon ball, she will be required to scream a lot of times.

As blunt as it may be, I do not think Toei stakes the future of the series on Nozawa's availability. A successor has likely been long selected/in-training. They are definitely aware how old she is. Disney does it all the time behind-the-scenes with their eldest voice actors.

I don't think they'd finish the god story arc in a movie, with this tv show running. If they make a new movie, it'll likely be a mostly standalone story (although fitting into the show's continuity, unlike the old ones).

Kai has been completely redubbed, don't forget that. It's not like she was retired in the last few years.

Some will, but obviously every long-running franchise will invetibaly start losing its cast/crew as the time goes unfortunately. Most people realize that. Heck, wasn't it John Williams joking about his own potential death and whether he will make Star Wars Episode 7 score in time lol?

Just look at The Simpsons... eventually, it's inevitable voice actors will be replaced. It's just the way it is.

Beerus was gonna destroy it over pudding but I don't think anyone's worrying about him.

I'm gonna expand on my theory from yesterday.

Series starts shortly after Battle of Gods and everyone has gone back to their normal lives, Beerus wakes up because he can feel that a God of Destruction from a different universe is coming. Eventually after a few things we get to the battle, Goku and Vegeta are teamed up with Beerus (and maybe Whis?), but they are out matched by Fat Beerus. They do the God ritual for Vegeta and for no real reason this causes Goku to reenter his God form and now Super Saiyan God Goku and Vegeta help shift tide of battle, but not enough. The time limit of the God forms runs out, their power drops a little bit, but it is also brought up that Vegeta managed to absorb the God power just like Goku did in BoG, and then Fat Beerus starts wrecking them. Somehow both Goku and Vegeta manage to achieve Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan at the same time and then with the help of Beerus they manage to just barely beat Fat Beerus, but he has some parting words before either dying or just leaving, he explains that the 7th Universe is attracting lots of attention and that strong fighters from other Universes will begin to appear. Whis tells Goku and Vegeta that they need to get much stronger or the Universe is in grave danger, so he offers to train them. Goku eagerly accepts and Vegeta begrudgingly accepts.
Then a timeskip happens along with a recap of what happened in said timeskip, including an overview of Resurrection F and possibly End of Z if the timeskip jumps that far, after the timeskip the real series begins.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this all happens in the first 5-10 episodes.

I don't see this happening at all. If there's any chance the new DB TV revival will touch EOZ/post-EOZ period, it won't be until mid 2016 at the very earliest. And that's only if Gods arc finale is suppoused to happen within a year, either in 52nd Super episode or Movie #3 slated for summer 2016. It's totally possible though that the entire Gods era will be dragged over 2 years or even more...

Beerus went to sleep for 3 years in BoG. F is one year later. Maybe this takes place after F after all, what could there be of such importance that Beerus would only sleep for 3 years?

Though, Goten and Trunks being so young kinda shoots that down, but still :/

I really don't think we're getting a 3rd God movie.

He wanted to wake up for 3 years because he wanted to taste more food from Earth.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
