SSJG Goku vs Beerus will surpass episode 5 in terrible quality. Mark my words.

Why would think something horrible like that?

Episode 9 might not look super great, but I'm hoping 10, which will pretty much being Goku VS Beerus for the whole episode, will look better.

Only if there's another "production collapse", which i personally doubt.
Those scenes were not supposed to look like that, although some people didn't grasp it, thinking Toei cheapened it out on purpose or something.

[fadeddreams5]

That's what they want you to believe.

Episode 9 very well may not have any of God Goku vs. Beerus in it. Episode titles seem to describe events from the last ~2 minutes of the show. Seeing how Episode 9 is "Super Saiyan God is Born", it's a safe bet that Goku will end up magenta just in time for the credits to roll.

Makes sense, then they can have it look good when the fight actually starts. Episode 9 will probably end with the stare down from BoG.

[fadeddreams5]

I can bet my account that fight will not look good. It will be half-assed.

[garfield15]

Forgive me if I'm slow but did all see this already?



FemWhis is cute! CUTE!

[Chuquita]

I still think it's amazing we don't yet know her name. It's gotta be something plot-point related; I can't imagine it wouldn't have been kept a secret this long if they didn't have a reason for it--especially since we've known Champa's name for a while.

Maybe her name is... Whis?

That is one of my guesses; that "Whis" is more a name the way "Kaio" is. You've got North/South/East/West for the kais, so maybe there's North/South/East/West whises too?

My other guess is we're going parallel universes for Uni 6, but Champa has his own name, so...?

I still say her name is just "Whis".

I think that if her name is Whis it probably has something to do with Whis's line in RF "I guess I'm a life form called Whis."

Yeah, just like episode 7 referred to Vegeta's "mutation" at its title and the episode is cut exactly as he finishes the power boost thing. The pace at which events are being retold when compared to BoG makes it pretty obvious that it will take the entirety of episode 9 for them to undergo the entire Super Saiya-jin God ritual (at first failing due to lacking one Saiya-jin, and then proceeding with the ritual properly by adding Videl, and thus already conceived-Pan), by the end of which we'll get Goku turning his face to the camera in that badass manner upon completing his transformation into Super Saiya-jin God. Then episode 10 will be probably, and hopefully, entirely dedicated to the actual fight, and it could "spill" to episode 11, which makes our previous estimates that the Beerus arc, as in, the entire retelling of the full events of BoG from beginning to end, will take about 12 episodes (episode 12 will probably revolve around everyone pondering on the fight they just had, at its aftermath - Goku, Vegeta and the others on Earth, Beerus in his own planet with Whis, after these two leave Earth and after Whis politely asks Goku if he would like to become the next Hakaishin after Beerus dies, and POTENTIALLY - and this would be fantastic - after Whis proceeds to ask Goku and Vegeta if they'd like to train under him, or the other way around, thus making the link to the Fukkatsu no F and its series' version in the form of the upcoming Freeza arc).

[Theophrastus]

I would really hope that there will be at least a couple of episodes in-between the end of the Battle of Gods arc and the start of the Resurrection F arc to explain how the status quo in that movie actually came about.

I mean, Vegeta obtaining Super Saiyan God, Goku and Vegeta training with Whis, and them both figuring out the whole "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" thing could all probably be individual episodes in themselves.

Exactly, those are precisely the two events which happened off-screen somewhere in-between BoG and Fukaktsu no F that I've mentioned more than once that I'd like to see on-screen in DBSuper. Taking two or even more episodes to do so, dedicating them, at least partially, to explain where, why and how Vegeta turned Super Saiya-jin God himself, after Goku does, and Goku's and Vegeta's decision to go and train with Whis (at the latter's request or otherwise) would be fantastic, I really hope it happens.

It would be much better to get the likely and anticipated two or three episodes in-between the Beerus arc and the Freeza arc to be dedicated to these previously off-screen events instead of smoother episodes, like the first two in the series.

SSGSS was supposed to be a suprise for the film especially for Vegeta. I feel like if they explore it before the Freeza arc starts the novelty and excitement from it will where off when it comes to it in the arc (it'd be like finally Goku is using SSGSS instead of holy crap Goku has a new form!!) especially for Vegeta. I would like to think that they would conserve the suprise for Super and for people who haven't seen the film.

[funrush]

I mean they could always explain it afterwards, like they did with SSJ1 Vegeta in Z.

[FortuneSSJ]

Plot wise the only thing I'm not liking in Super BOG arc, is how Champa/Whis Waifu still didn't appear.
In the manga, Toyble couldn't be handling those two better. He's doing a great job building them up behind the scenes.

Hopefully, they will finally appear in September.

[TheDBZmaster100]

It's shocking how Champa and his attendant hasn't shown up yet in DBS, the foreshadowing that can be seen in the manga is quite intriguing but nope, Toei sucks.

I would have preferred if they skipped Frieza's revival all together since it simply ruined this character even further. An awful movie, I don't like the fact that we have to, potentially watch 12-13 eps of this garbage.

[FortuneSSJ]

Pretty sure I will love ROF (I still didn't had the chance to watch the entire movie with quality/subs) but in super, ROF arc will just seem a entire filler in the middle of BOG/Universe 6 arcs. To me, the better solution would be just ignore it.

It can work like Bojack Unbound did with DBZ. Fits in the timeline, but that's it. We can move forward without it.
