"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Marco Polo]

I feel kinda bad for Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu and Yamcha. It's a well established thing that they're completely outclassed by other characters in battle, but now with this opening and ending we see that even their daily lives are "outclassed" (Goku, Gohan and Vegeta all have happy families, whereas Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu and Yamcha have nothing).

Maybe this is going to be the best Dragonball ever. I have a good feeling about this series very good feeling because things look different in a good way especially after seen Kai 2.0.

I wouldn't go so far as to postulate that this might be the best Dragonball ever. We're talking about untouchable stuff when we mention the later stages of DB and the entirety of DBZ. It's virtually impossible to match it in terms of quality. Besides, we need to approach this recent and new material from a different standpoint while at the same time be able to fit it into the history of DBZ from the 80's and 90's.

I meant to say The best new refreshed DragonBall. I'm not just talking about the animation or music. I'm talking about a complete DragonBall, as a whole with a good story, fighting scenes, and character developments that will work at this time. And its true its almost impossible to match OG DB but nothing is entirely impossible because Buu arc and GT are easy to match or outmatch. Too much to explain but that's my view

Why do people like/prefer Goten's new Gi....? its literally the same thing just without sleeves.

Haven't seen the first episode yet, just the opening and closing credits.

The opening - Liked the song but i thought the animation throughout looked pretty average at times to be honest. The characters faces looked off which was bit annoying. I'm also not getting why Gohan, Videl, Krillin and Yamcha look so different if this wasn't long after Buu. Where did Yamcha get all of that hair from

The ending - Much better in my opinion. Liked the song and liked the pace of it with Goku's life being played out. I liked that the characters faded into the screen too.

Can't wait to see the episode.

The sleeves were holding him back.

Guys, while the series is having a strong start, we must remain wary. It could start good but fall into the same rut GT did. All in all, I hope the series becomes bigger and better than DB and Z.

While thats true, there´s nothing wrong in being optimistic

Maybe he's been sneaking into the Room of Spirit and Time in secret :p

. A small change is fucking badass. The attire looks so freaking cool. DBS loves Goten. You can tell. They're treating him just right. I fucking love it.

[Marco Polo]

They should give Trunks a sword just for the hell of it. NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD

[Hellspawn28]

If they are going to retell the events of ROF then I hope Gotenks, Fat Buu and Kibitoshin will join the battle against Freeza and his army. Kibitoshin is a enjoyable character and he hardly does anything. Not to mention maybe have Mr. Satan meet or try to fight Freeza since he has meet every main villain in DBZ expect for Freeza.

I hated those sleeves. Like... very much. I don't know why. I cannot properly convey my hatred for those blue sleeves. But it was there. And it was real.

I'm sorry but I'll just repeat what I wrote earlier in response to this. There's no way in hell Super could end up in the same road as GT:

"There's a big difference between GT and DBSuper. GT was created in a rush right after 7 years of making up stories and characters and basically took on the worst DBZ had by Majin Buu's saga and had none of the elements that made DBZ so brutally great. By the time of Majin Buu, you can tell the creator was already struggling to find ideas, concepts, storylines and character interactions and backgrounds which could be both new and of the same quality as those seen in any of the previous arcs, right from the Tenshinhan arc until the Cell arc, with the Piccolo Daimao, Piccolo Jr., Saiya-jin, Freeza, Jinzouningen and Cell arcs. Besides, unlike GT, Super was and will actually be overseen by Toriyama, which pretty much just guarantees the quality of the stories, whether we're talking about serious action, fighting, villains and drama or lighter, smoother and comic aspects.

Moreover, even taking into account that this isn't actually the first really new material from DBZ, after the 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2015 movies, Toriyama is still in the process of revitalization with a clear head after so many years of Dragonball-story-creation inactivity, so he'll approach this new series with a much clearer head and come up with stories and backgrounds of roughly the same quality of what made any arc from DB and DBZ so great, although with a slightly different touch, considering the new audiences and the changes in Toriyama's viewpoints as a creative individual themselves."

And there's no way it can get bigger and/or better than DB and/or DBZ:

"I wouldn't go so far as to postulate that this might be the best Dragonball ever. We're talking about untouchable stuff when we mention the later stages of DB and the entirety of DBZ. It's virtually impossible to match it in terms of quality. Besides, we need to approach this recent and new material from a different standpoint while at the same time be able to fit it into the history of DBZ from the 80's and 90's."

Yeah, i'm just going to go with that. Explain it away using our imaginations

One more gif, sorry if somebody already made this one.

Hopefully ArchedThunder's gif above hints at Goten being present during the battle against Frieza's army.

So... Beerus will really appear 6 months instead 4 years after Boo? This mean that Tarble and JSAT will be filler and BoG will be retconned?

I am glad to see Gohan going mystic, Hopefully he doesn't forget it. also Kinda hope he keeps the causal wear. Looks good on him

Because it's a better gi

hmmm it does look nice.

A small change is fucking badass. The attire looks so freaking cool. DBS loves Goten. You can tell. They're treating him just right. I fucking love it.

While i agree it looks cool, to me it makes goten look even more like Goku. But i do hope Super is good to Goten, I'd love to see him be more relevant than Trunks shadow.

I hated those sleeves. Like... very much. I don't know why. I cannot properly convey my hatred for those blue sleeves. But it was there. And it was real.

Really? I always liked the sleeves.
