"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Ushabtis]

It still bugs me that Mr. Satan keeps getting credited for the defeat of Boo, but... they wished for everyone to forget about Boo...

well to be fair Satan played a huge role in Kid Buu's defeat, so much even Goku was impressed

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Actually, apparently it was never even stated in the manga.

Literally the next page after they reunited with everyone on the Lookout.

That's a crappy scanlation (that you shouldn't be linking). Viz has Goku saying they'll use the Dragon Balls to help out Mr. Buu on Kaioshin's planet, and in that very panel about Mr. Satan saving the world you posted, it mentions that the task was completed 6 months later.

[ZombieVito]

I wonder how long after the 2008 Ova is this set in.

[Hellspawn28]

So can we expect Pilaf to show up in Super? It could show us on them wishing to be young when they collect all seven Dragon Balls. If the events of Movie 13 happen then they should have one wish left on the Dragon Balls since they use one wish to revive all those who were killed by Hirudegarn. If not then someone out of nowhere can ruin Pilaf's second wish to rule the world.

Beerus is awake, so chapter 1 takes place within Battle of Gods, 2 years after the JSAT Special, and 4 years after Majin Boo's death.

Uh, you're allowed to link single pages, just not sites where you can read/DL. Also, I'm on my phone. And at work. I apologize for the "crappy scanlation", but it's to prove a point and nothing more. Dunno why folks here cause such a huge fuss over it.

And I assume you mean this one:

In which they're specifically referring to THIS Buu. And it's not that they forget about him, it's that they forget he's bad.

I doubt they'd randomly include one of the 13 classic movies while still disregarding the others, but as for seeing Pilaf and co. get de-aged, given the whole 'filling in the gaps' thing Super is doing and the fairly light tone of some of this early material for it, that's entirely possible.

EDIT: As for the Buu discussion, just checked and Viz's translation says they'll "erase people's memories of Boo." Dunno which is more accurate, but there you go.

Beerus is awake, so chapter 1 takes place within Battle of Gods, 2 years after the JSAT Special, and 4 years after Majin Boo's death.

It CAN'T take place within the events of Battle of Gods, Bulma is throwing a party and Goten is there! Beerus remembered SSG right AFTER he woke up.

What?

I can't see any room for Beerus to do what he did in the chapter.

[FortuneSSJ]

Before he goes to meet Goku. So far, that's where i put it.
But in BOG Elder Kai was surprised Beerus didn't destroy anything, so yeah retteling. He could just be suprised about Beerus end up no destroying the earth though.

You are allowed to post images to help support your points and all that, but not of illegal scanlations. That's the point.

Anyway, there are two statements on the matter, via Viz:

• "If he's willing to hide inside for six months the Dragon Balls will come back, and we'll ask Shenlong to erase people's memories of Boo!"
  "And so Hercule becomes the savior of humankind once again! Of course, 6 months later, the public's memories of Boo are erased...but still, people remember that Hercule saved them from something..."

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I wasn't clear, my bad. I mean the Beerus scene takes place within BoG, while the Goku parts seem to take place before BoG.

What?

It fits between his meal & him visiting the Oracle Fish.

Rou Kaioshin could have been talking about Beerus not destroying anything on Earth.

I end up editing my comment 2 minutes before this.

First of all, I have experienced other moderators on this site who have said it's okay if you post a scanlation, just not link to it. So it's my bad for linking it. However, it being of "bad quality" is no where in the community guidelines.

I'm sorry, how does that make any sense? Imagine if we were talking about Avengers. Me linking a scene from the movie that someone torrented in 1080p HD Blu-ray rip? Perfectly acceptable. Me linking a camrip of the exact same scene? "Illegal and against guidelines."

[TheGmGoken]

If the 9 dbs thing is an error. How exactly do you accidentally draw 9 stars? I understand 7 or 8 but 9? Then you relook at the image and don't see it? Unless it's an error that was release on purpose to spark up hype. WWE does this all the time. Fake promoting.

[DBZ_Lee]

It's been said already, but it seems as though the start of Super, will be what Toriyama had originally envisaged for BoG, but wasn't able to include, because of time constraints.
I think that "F" takes place at least 6 months after BoG? so there's lots they can do there - I'd like to see what happened when Beerus went back to sleep, and how Goku & Vegeta ended up training with Whis.
How about a Pilaf scenario with Goten and Trunks? I'd love that -

Spoiler:

it could show the story of how the gang ended up having some of the Dragon Balls up until the moment Sorbet and Tagoma came to earth.

[Marco Polo]

The 9-star DB is not an error... They put it right next to the text, not in some corner. They obviously want us to notice it.

[Herms]

"彼の名はシャンパ!!"
His name is Champ (Shanp)!!

It would be Shanpa (or Champa), since the last syllable is パ

Yeah, I'm surprised this hasn't been pointed out more.

[UpFromTheSkies]

Can someone tell me please what the hell is the context of a 9-Star Dragon Ball? And why we need one?

Could it be the last Shadow Dragon?

There's a 9 star ball in the cover of the chapter.

Either a fuck up or it's hinting at something. Seeing as how it was Toyble who drew it, people are thinking it's on purpose. I believe it was a mistake, personally.

You think Toyble, who is a huge Dragon Ball fan, forgot there were 7 dragon balls, and that no one else caught it? It seems doubtful to me.

Is it supposed to be a pun on Champaign?
