Thought I saw 'kekkon', but not sure. 結婚。
I've attempted to translate the text in that page, and it seems to indicate that Gohan and Videl are already married, so apparently we won't see the wedding unless they show a flashback :(
Also it seems we finally have a time frame! :mrgreen:
In the peaceful Earth, Goku earns money!?

Half a year has passed since the battle with Majin Boo, the Earth is at peace. While working the farm by Chichi's orders, Goku takes every chance to train. Newly married Gohan and Videl are living peaceful days, but...!?

Goten and Trunks, what did they choose as a wedding present!?

Goten wants to give a wedding present to Gohan, and Trunks gives him advice! What item did those two choose!?
Woah! Even before the Jump 08 special!?

Also, 6 months after May means this takes place in November.

Kinda disappointed we don't get to see the wedding, oh well.

Aw, Gokû.

Thank you for the translation!
On hiatus.

But they weren't married in the 2008 special. Is it non-canon now?

We can change the date of the jsat without much problem. Goten and Trunks look the same... heck, Goten has the same clothing.

If they're married six months after the Boo saga, then either they were at the end of their last school year, or you can marry while still being a high school student in the Dragon World.
Isn't Gohan 16 or 17 in the Boo saga?

Anyway, it's just details, it doesn't matter that much.

And that new screencap picture of Goku is extremely nice, he's at the top of his charisma!

If there's a legal marriage age in the Dragon World, I don't think time spent in an extradimensional plane that nobody knows about would count towards the minimum age.

I was more-so just stating that in case anyone would find, from an ethical standpoint, underage marriage weird.

Then again, Videl is underage, so it really doesn't matter.

If the parents okay the marriage then it's possible. Then again, according to Google:
The general requirements for marriage under Japanese law are: Male must be 18 years of age or older and the female partner has to be 16 years of age or older. A person under 20 years of age must have parental approval to get married.
I'm thinking it's best to just assume that Toriyama forgot how old the characters were or it simply got in his way so he decided to ignore that.

Now let's check if the Japanese laws are ok with a dog being king of the world, flying cars and capsule houses being activated anywhere.

Gohan would be 16 and half when he marries then! Any way dragon ball world isnt based on japan laws and even if it was, how would laws stop him when he can just blow entire planet or solar system. lol

I'm reminded of Courtney Stodden, so I suppose Gohan and Videl being married isn't unrealistic. Although, again, in all likelihood somebody just forgot or simply didn't want something so silly getting in the way of the story they wanted to write and tell.

Oh wow, just 6 months after Boo, maybe this is Toriyamas take on how things played out before BoG and he's changing certain things. Anyway in the Dragon world I guess marriage is legal whenever Toriyama decides.

Mr. Satan asked the judge to make an exception so his little daughter could marry. Or just bribed him :lol:

Interesting choice for the first episode title. I guess the novelty of something like "Goku Returns!! The Dragon Family, Together Again" has worn off by now.

"Who Will The 100 Million Zenny Peace Reward Go To... !?"

Looks like they aren't necessarily copying the episode title format that they used in Z and GT ("Exclamatory Remark?!?! Potentially Spoilerific Follow-Up Sentence!!), which is refreshing.

Clearly Toriyama, the man just does not want to show even the slightest hint of romance and so that means even in this time frame, Gohan has already married Videl, if the translation is accurate.
Glad to have it confirmed that it's taking place so soon after Buu. Only in Beerus' eyes would 4+ years be "slightly after Majin Buu's death."

On one hand, I'm happy because this means it's more likely that they'll be retelling the movies. On the other, it means it's less likely the series will go past the epilogue.

Yeah, them moving the God's stuff to right after Buu is disappointing and probably means we either aren't going to go past the end of Z, or it will be a while before we do. Resurrection F is also probably non canon now too, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't redo that movie in Super either.

Man, it's weird as shit that the two God movies helped revive Dragon Ball and now they are just going to get rid of them, especially since they were building up plot points.
We know Super Saiyan God is here to stay because of the first manga chapter, but I wonder if they'll dump Bluper Saiyan or keep it.

They might be getting rid of the movies but they're keeping and improving they're content so we aren't losing anything.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.
