"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[chizzielamer]

Hi! I'm a native chinese speaker so Shi Xing Qiu just means 四星球 which is a word for word translation of 4 star ball. Shi Xing Qiu is also how you would pronounce the chinese words (pinyu - the way chinese words are pronounced) of 四星球。

[SMKirbyZX]

Wow, I really like where Super is going so far. It's very interesting. As for the 9-star ball...I have no idea what to make of it.

But does anyone have a link to where I can see chapter 1 of the manga?

[Cold Skin]

Apparently, this comes from the V-Jump website, it's a wallpaper for Super featuring Super Saiyan Gohan in his fight costume (much like during BOG's ritual and unlike RF since he couldn't find his battle costume).

I'm confused, does this mean Gohan does not have Mystic anymore?

[dbgtFO]

That's a funny hairstyle for SS Gohan there.
Maybe it's to keep it very different from his SS2 hairstyle?(if SS2 even appears in the new series..).

Gohan still wearing the Goku style gi....he's never going back to piccolo style again huh?

it could be weird shading of his hair or Gohan got a new hair cut, he gets them quite often compared to everyone else in DBZ.

So does this confirm that it really rewrites BoG? Since Gohan was ultimate there.

[SansrivaaL]

Gohan looks.... different...what happened? puberty hit again? or is something wrong with my eyes

Or Toriyama did forget about Mystic Gohan again. I don't really see why would he change so many things but I'm patient for now, at least.

[Ushabtis]

can't Gohan just use either form?

I mean from a marketing stand point the Super Saiyan look is far more known/memorable than the plain Mystic Gohan look. I personally never cared for the mystic look, i always thought ssj2 was better.

He can, according to BoG, but why would he when ultimate is far stronger?

[TheGmGoken]

Why do Gohan look like Kid Trunks?

[soulnova]

I never thought Mystic Gohan was such a big deal for continuity until I met the rest of the internet.

It actually kind of reminded me of Teen trunks.

its promotional picture I'm pretty sure he's super saiyan 2 because thats just more popular/memorable. if they were fighting someone then Mystic would be the obvious choice...even though he gets his butt kick in that form too

same...

[Chuquita]

Toei's marketing is doing a super job at making this all very confusing. @_@
Nothing can be done for now, so I'll just wait until enough information is available to know if we're really spending the first arc redoing BOG or not. (Which I'm of two minds with; I want to see the new story with Shampa and Ms. Whis already, but I was so burned by losing ssjg Gokû in F that getting to see him again and possibly with Shida animation would be really nice.)

[Weedity]

It's not that it's a big deal, just that he unlocked this form that is beyond the power of super saiyan 3. He should be stronger then both Goku and Vegeta. So what happened to it? He just lost it? Is his super saiyan form stronger now? It just makes me confused.

[Luso Saiyan]

It doesn't confirm anything. Gohan wasn't Ultimate in RoF and that acknowledges BoG since it's a sequel to it.

In my opinion, those of you hoping for the series to ignore or rewrite BoG are setting yourselves up for disappointment.

But RF is irrelevant since this series is before Battle of Gods (or sometime during).

[Noah]

Gohan is over, now... Piccolo and even Krillin will have more appeal than him, how unfortunate

Spoiler:

Art looks familiar I wonder if it is the same chap who did FUNi's Blu ray covers did this? Anyway I wouldn't take much from this Gohan was SS in BoG poster afterall. Everyone is SS but Gohan, doesn't look as nice.
