Well, they said that Kai would end in 100 episodes, in fact ended by the Android Arc but we all know that story ends in Boo Arc so it was 50+ episodes

I know is a lame comparison, but if SUPER be sucessful we might get more than only 100 episodes

"Evil Goku" as always something that I heard and read in fanfics, I know is kinda of a cliché but I would like that too, can we all get the conclusion that Champa and "Whisa" are from a different universe, then?

I really don't think that, if Super is 100 episodes, will be exclusively between BOG to ROF. They'll have to go farther down the Timeline, they just made a new fancy God transformation for Goku/Vegeta. Why would they want the anime to take 1 or 2 years to get to the fancy God forms? Time skips are nothing new to DBZ. will we make it into EOZ territory by the end of Super...I'm going to say no.

Because we'd also have regular Gokû along for the ride to react to Evil Gokû, there's a bunch of different ways they could go with him. I'm inwardly debating between wanting an Evil Gokû that's persistent yet completely ineffectual like the villains in Dr. Slump/an Evil Gokû that's like a humorously incompetent version of Cell and a "cool"-type Evil Gokû that taunts Princess Vegeta about his strength and how she (much like regular Vegeta) always is one step behind him.

That 9-star Ball and them not revealing Lady Whis' name are the two things making me think we're gonna get to visit other universes. Whoever came up with the "number of dragon balls = universe number, hence universe 7 has 7 dragon balls and universe 9 has 9"; I like their theory.

why not make Tullece a canon villain? He's a space pirate, they could make it that his group took over Frieza's galaxy conquering gig starting a plot because it got the attention of Whis/Beerus. Since he's Goku but evil he could have some crazy strength and learn new moves/transformations/skills etc. plus it wouldn't be hard to come up with a backstory either.

What if the 100 episodes are wasted. I would NOT BE shock if this happens. Using 12 episodes as a seasonal number

12 episodes of Pre BoG and BoG retelling(Fat Beerus cameo/ cliffhanger)
12 episodes of post BoG(Fat Beerus debut?)
12 episodes of POSSIBLE Revival of Freeza retelling
12 episodes of post Revival of Freeza
1-6 episodes a season of slice of life based episodes (similar to chapter one)

That's already 52-72 episodes. Which is what I fear. And I'm sure Toei doesn't mean exactly 100 episodes...

DBS needs to look over DBGT and see on what it could improve on and they should leave BoG and RoF movies alone cause if they retcon BoG I swear that i will not go out and buy the RoF or even watch it in theaters. Because why should I? The entire plot of the movie would just become meaningless and irrelevant when they do something different in the actual canon series. Dragon Ball is not Looney Toons, and Toriyama should not try to make it to be one where everything that happened in the past becomes irrelevant and forgotten. And I feel like it would only give Dragon Ball a bad reputation towards the people that never even watched it.

Oh I like Turles. There is a lot you could do with him and his space pirating, (I've drawn comics with him; I know he's fun to utilize) but I just want to see the comedic potential of Gokû meeting an AU version of himself even more atm.

There's potential on Tullece, but I don't really regard him as an "Evil Goku". I had always assumed he was actually Bardock's twin brother.

I did have a whole head-canon backstory for Turles at one time (I have him as not related to any of Gokû's family, but I did have an explanation for the similar hair).

Dr. Slump style incompetently Evil Gokû is the AU Gokû I think I want to see most, but "cool" Evil Gokû is a close 2nd.

Well, if there's anything new in next week's Weekly Jump, at least we'll probably know by tomorrow.
Super's marketing (lack of?) has been such a strange ride so far.

Forneverworld just made a video on his you tube channel that has 298k subs saying that he found some article in which Toriyama apparently claims that red hair SSJ God Goku is stronger than SSJGodSSJ Goku! lol

I mean Toriyama never said anywhere that ssj god is stronger than ssjgodssj infact he just though that the red hair looked more powerful than the blue hair because of its vibrant and perhaps flashy color.

Now you might ask why am i posting this? Simple Read the comments on his video. A lot of people are literaly jumping into conclusions now and blaming Akira Toriyama for something that this dumbass said without even fully analyzing the article. He's simply at this point trying to make people hate Akira Toriyama and the new dragon ball super. But I'm calling this out because its not the first time Forneverworld jumped for the gun and made people believe in some fake ass rumors. I'm very upset at him right now.

Toei never cared much about numbers, especially for the long running series.
They may use episode 48-52 as a big turning point, but other than that...everything's up in the air. They won't stretch anything for 12-13 episodes just because of some seasonal point, believe me.

Gotta love when people do that on the internet...moreso when based on a nobody's lie.

I don't think I see any new plot info in there, only promo merch stuff, but I can only pick up hiragana and katakana, so I could easily be missing something via kanji. I'd like to hope there's news in there.

No, in all seriousness, it's probably nothing important. It's most likely some advertisement; perhaps something like the info we got in the latest V-Jump. But we won't know until someone (*cough* Herms *cough*) translates it for us.
I tend not to post here anymore because what I say doesn't add to the conversation.

It talks about campaigns, presents, what I think is a live event, etc.

I wish it was plot stuff, but it's likely not.

After reading a cool fan fiction if there are alternate universes I wouldn't mind a female Goku universe. My ultimate dream is still that the others universes however would be Gt, Yu yu hakusho, saor moon and other animes but thats not happening.

Forneverworld is an idiot. He was complaining about the plot on DBS first episode which Goten was trying to finding a gift. Is not like everytime a new Dragon Ball arc starts, we get ''fillers'' episodes. :problem:
English is not my main language. Sorry if I make a mistake.
