"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Chuquita]

I'm enjoying the foreshadowing greatly. I look forward to Uni 6 arc foreshadowing especially since that'll mean theorizing.

[Captain Space]

I love that Super has such a thing as foreshadowing. This is something new, since Toriyama used to not plan his story in advance so there was never any significant foreshadowing in previous sagas.

To be fair, there probably wouldn't be any if BoG and RF hadn't already laid out the groundwork of the first couple arcs XD

[LightBing]

I still think Universe 6 will be before FnF and after. Goku and Vegeta will be soundly defeated by the threat, go back to be trained by Whis (meanwhile Freeza appears) and return for round 2.

Hmmm, thats an interesting idea... It would be nice if that happens,but well find out.

I'm curious with how SSG ritual is going to be like in Super. I hope SonGoku and Bejita acquire SSG form entirely different in Super, without the need of a Saiyan circle of love

Do you think SUPER is doing a good job in portraying Beerus ? (for this just ignore anything about him that came out of the movies, just take into account the TVserie)

I think so. If you had no knowledge of the new movies, Beerus and Whis come off as mysterious characters that can be guessed by the fact that Beerus took out a planet and a half with little effort and because of food that they are going to be the next antagonists and sooner or later come to Earth (and try to destroy it). The Elder Kaioshin's reveal of Beerus being the God of Destruction as well as showing fear of him in the second episode further emphasizes this as well as the fact that this is a very strong opponent. And Beerus's mention of fighting a strong fighter known as Super Saiyan God obviously means that there will be a new Super Saiyan form and that Goku will likely be the first Saiyan to achieve it as he was the first one to achieve SSJ and SSJ3 and is the main character (and him changing to red hair and eyes briefly in the opening would be a clue if you had no pre-knowledge). And even if you didn't think/were sure whether Goku would be the first to achieve it, the anticipation for Beerus the God of Destruction vs. the Super Saiyan God is already there.

I think it is doing a good job
For what we have in these 2 episodes, Beerus is an interesting/mysterious and fun character

Well, Beerus certainly does live up more to his title of God Of Destruction in Super than he did in the movie. But regardless of that, you still get that eerie feeling of mystery surrounding Beerus with how capricious he is in his actions.

Beerus is currently suffering from minor Supreme Kai syndrome. By that I mean, these first few episodes are portraying him a certain way for the sake of build up, but once he befriends Goku, he will change more into what we saw in F. He'll still be equally dangerous, but the serious side of him will be shown less in favor of the food gags and "don't make me destroy your planet!" jokes.

Kinda like Broly? Who became a parody of himself in Movie 10?

I love the supreme Kai.
-hyped to be very powerful
-every villain he knows coming out of bobbidi's ship
-Goku/Vegeta stomp them like nothing
-Supreme Kai freaking out

Spoiler:

I hope we get lots of Kibito Kai moments in Super.

So I was randomly thinking about the female Whis-looking character and how her name is likely to follow suite with the alcohol pun; I'm seriously hoping for a name like "Cider", especially since Champa is the pun for champagne :p

[Retan]

Maybe her name is Key or something to match with Whis?

[JulieYBM]

Somebody else mentioned the name 'Brandy' a while back, I'd love to see that given a go.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

It could work. I don't know if it's intentional or not but their names aren't just puns on alcohol thus far. Beerus and Champa have names based on alcoholic drinks that are fermented and Whis is based on a stronger drink that is traditionally fermented and distilled. Brandy would fit the latter category.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

I just want a name already!!!

I don't know any good reasons why they would keep it a secret for so long...

[TheGmGoken]

Do reruns air in Japan?

[SansrivaaL]

The more I think about it the more I get hyped up for the upcoming SSJ3 Goku vs Beerus and SSG Goku vs Beerus..... I hope the animation is solid during those fights.
2 ep and still no name for femwhis... if her name turns out to be just Whis I am breaking necks.

It most likely is Whis because Whis said he is a Whis, implying he has no name.
