I don't know why, but I'm getting some Star Wars vibes when I look at this new poster. I'm totally cool with this. Is anyone else getting the same feeling when they look at it?

They are not subtle about Akira Toriyama's involvement in that poster at all.

Other than his name, what does it say?

I think it says original story writer/character designs, but kanji are blurry.

I'm not super familiar with usual dragon ball posters, but his name just seemed really prominent in the poster, front and center on top of the title. I don't recall usually seeing his name on posters.

I believe this is Toei keeping in line with their BoG and RoF posters that have the same thing. As it is the main man coming out of retirement to the franchise, I would expect them to want to brag about it.
(It does say the same thing here it says on the new Super poster right?

Ah, ok, it is like those other posters -- I guess it makes sense for stylistic consistency then.

A french DBZ website shows half titles for episode 14-16.

Episode 14 sounds like the full title.

In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".

I'm very excited for this episode. :3
There's a lot of potential there by way of episode 2.

Vegeta's never been anyone's student before, so him dealing with that on top of having Gokû along for the ride should be fun. X3

No. Given Episode 14's title, that is where the battle is likely to end. We don't know if that actually ends the arc though, as #15's title doesn't exactly make things clear. Seems like we are moving on to the start of Golden Freeza by 16 though.

Like hell he would. If Super is anything to go by, Beerus would disintegrate Broly by coughing at him.

Don't think the top bit has much surprises: fate of the universe, battle escalating, blah blah blah.

Bottom Bit, I'm having a lot of trouble translating this. Satan becomes worried about the fate of the universe based on what he is hearing from Whis, but Whis seems to be fishing for food while he waits for things to resolve (?). My guess is that they mean someone is gettting more fish for Whis while he waits for the fight to end, but I'm not quite sure how to parse the second sentence.

I get the feeling Mr. Satan will manage to save the universe by convincing Whis to interfere with the battle.
