"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[FortuneSSJ]

Well October is over and I thought they would finally announce Champa/Vados voice actors this month. Semes like this wasn't the case.
Super second teaser and Champa appearing soon in Heroes lead me to think that.

Still, Champa/Vados will debut next week in Super anime. So its strange they still didn't announce the voice actors... Not my fault.
The time will come soon.

And the entire Buu arc took place over two days and everything was restored (hell, Goku was alive afterwards so it was better than restored), so that was barely any more significant than RF in that sense. But it was still a big deal.

2 days vs 1 hour is a huge difference. And in these 2 days, lots of things happened. Multiple people died in various points, the whole planet was terrified, and the Z-Warriors along with the higher gods in the universe were all trying to find various ways to surpass the evolving Majin Boo. Freeza just came, destroyed a city, and then died, and all that happened in around an hour.

1-16 is Battle of Gods and 17 is the start of Resurrection F.

Nah, the way see it 1-14 is BoG, 15 is an in between(but could be grouped with BoG) and 16 is the start of F.

Guys you just have to see the title screen.
= Beerus arc because of the pic of him
= In-between arc

We're still not in the RoF arc guys.

I count 16 as the start of the F arc because it marks the beginning of Whis training Vegeta. I don't think the silhouette really marks the arc, Beerus showed up in the first episode and as such he had his silhouette in the title card until he wasn't the villain anymore, I don't think we'll see Freeza in the title card until he makes his first appearance.

[Sandubadear]

Haven't noticed that, lol.

But you can't have episodes that aren't part of any arc. All arcs have these in-betweeners that are unrelated to the main story (like episodes 1, 2, 15, etc). Episode 17 is related to the story though, Pan is born and Goku goes off training with Whis, so it is the F arc already.

The difference is that episodes 1 and 2 introduced Beerus, that's why his silhouette was there and we count it as BoG arc.

I think if we see Freeza in the title card by next week, there's a chance they did think of 15-17 as a different stage, maybe a "chase Whis arc" or something like that.

Translation question: Was Vegeta training with Whis a half a year or 1 year and a half?

6 months.

Not its not. ROF arc only starts next week. Right now we are Post-BOG/Pre-ROF. That's why there's no silhouette in the title screen.

They wil probably put Freeza silhouette in the title screen and hopefully update the opening. Change SG Goku for SSG is something that must be done.

I think you mean SSG and SSGSS (or SSB). Using "Saiyan God" to represent the Red Hair form and "Super Saiyan God" to describe the Blue Hair form is nothing more than a meaningless fan-term.

[Kakarotto92]

The animation and art have improved greatly in the last couple of episodes, perhaps Toei wasn't indifferent to the internet backlash. One can only hope they can keep it like this for the rest of the series...

[ekrolo2]

We'll see once the action starts, but the models still look really wonky 90% of the time even when there's basically nothing happening.

Doesn't matter, as long my point is understandable. I won't stop using those terms.

I never said you should stop. I'm just making sure that you realize those terms have not, nor will they ever be, recognized in any official form of media relating to Dragon Ball, because that's not what they're called. They're called Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan Blue. And that's all they'll ever be recognized as. Again, just letting you know. Continue to use those fan-terms if you wish.

[FortuneSSJ]

Don't worry I know that. I'm more afraid of Frieza (with I), Tien (with I), Chiaotzu and Hercule still being a thing in 2015.
Kanzenshuu auto-corrects most of them though. Chiaotzu is still missing.

That's how I spell most of those names, don't see the problem. It's not like they're just made up terms like SG.

Difference being is that those are at least used in officially licensed products and media. "Saiyan God" is just a made-up term by fans. It's never been referenced as that in any dub or even any speed fansub. It's just what some fans rationalize as making "more sense", when in actuality, it just makes it more confusing for everyone else.

[Sandubadear]

Frieza, Tien, Hercule, and etc are official though. Wrong, but official. Saiyan God is not even remotely official. I can't call the Genki Dama "Starry Ball" because I don't like the Genki Dama name, but we have some other retarded alternate official names like "Triple Strike" and "Ghost Bomb"

[FortuneSSJ]

That's all they are. If a character is called x, and you're calling him y, then you made it up.

Be it somehow official doesn't make it less stupid. I don't go to the internet writing the Portuguese names.

"Saiyan God" is just a made-up term by fans.

Which actually makes sense. They just need 6 pure saiyans, not 6 pure super saiyans. Goku even keeps his base hair.
And when he turns ssj with his god ki, yes that's when he turns super saiyan god.
