Karasawa on 79.
Why was you expecting Karasawa?
Because his last episode was 72 and he barely did anything on it and he's seemingly become their preferred supervisor for big action episodes.
Maybe these fights go for more than 3 episodes and he'll show up on 82 or something.

True. He did become part of regular staff under Hatano though. Hopefully he stays with new directors too.

Thinking about it it might not be worth it to worry, he's seen somewhat preferential treatment(as much as one can get on Super anyways) and we don't know how long these preliminary matches go, maybe they last 4 episodes and Karasawa will be on the final one (82) with 11 whole weeks between episodes. I'm still worried though, but I won't get too worked up until we know the staff for the next batch of episodes.
It's also possible that he's on 81 but for whatever reason isn't listed, just like how Newtype's listings for 73 and 76 excluded some supervisors.

I know this will be asking a hell of a lot but, I really want Tomioka Atsuhiro to be handling the scripts for the major arcs from now. His material for the Future Trunks arc was really damn great.

On the subject of the lack of Karawasa: I wouldn't worry about it... right now. The fact we're getting two Wanpack episodes in a row makes me believe (and also hope) that means he's being given more time to do his thing and hasn't jumped shipped to another show.

He wrote the scripts for Episode 51, 55, 58, 60, 61, 65, 66 and 67. Basically, all the best episodes of the Future Trunks arc, he was significantly responsible for.

61, 65, 66 and 67 are the best?!

Those were good episodes, even though I guess the messed up power levels might be his fault, along with the fact we never got an explanation for Black's power-ups.
But I'm definitely happy he's writing the first bunch of episodes for the new arc, I like how he writes Goku.

All these can probably be attributed to Toriyama tbh. Although I don't see anything wrong with 65 at all. I don't even have any problems with 67 or 61 although I could see why some do.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

67 is great conceptually but I don't like them convoluting the time travel even more by adding the stupid Toei chart in there after ignoring it entirely beforehand. That extends to 61 where Black's origin just doesn't work.I also don't buy Trunks doesn't blow his own brains out after everything is said and done, he's going insane throughout most of the arc just by fighting Black, this should have destroyed him completely. 65 is mostly fine but Goku randomly being able to overpower Zamasu's attack when Vegeta, who was established as stronger for the past two episodes, got stomped along with Trunks helping him is a problem.

There's one thing I've just noticed... the lack of Yashima. Seriously, where the hell is he? The last we saw of him was EP70. I think he may have left the show. I hope to God we haven't lost him because his solo efforts have been invaluable for Super.

Ugh.

Someone slap some sense into me. :oops:

EDIT: To be fair, I've been really fucking tired from work recently and have been... forgetting things. :shifty:

What do you mean by adding the Toei chart? Also Trunks not blowing his brains out or getting completely depressed really isn't something that should be held against the writer or DB super. That's too dark for Dragonball in general. Also, considering he's pretty much lived his whole life like this, he's probably just used to it. Lastly , everyone he truly cared about already died or came with him (Mai). It would've made sense for him to get depressed but I wouldn't call it bad writing that he didn't.

The Kamehameha moment was pretty stupid considering they brought the kaioken back like 2 seconds later but eh.

The Toei chart adds in the moronic idea that Beerus killing Zamasu creates a new timeline where he's not dead as a way to explain where Black comes from. Nothing from before 67 remotely implies this, if anything, everyone's going by the logical assumption of "If we kill this guy now, it'll erase Black!" and then Black says that the Time Ring protects him from anyone trying to mess with him in the past, hence why he continues to exist when there's no logical way for him to.

See, if you're not gonna go all-out with an ending like this, why are you even putting it in? Hell, if they cut out Trunks' PTSD I could buy the conclusion much easier, but they really play up that this whole ordeal with Black is wearing on Trunks' psyche. So it's really weird that he's taking the fact everything he's ever worked for means nothing with such stride.

I thought the timeline where black lived on was the original and the changes Trunks caused lead to a timeline where he was murdered rather than the murder creating a timeline ?

Good point. They did play on the PTSD a lot.

Before 67, the anime seems to apply the logic of "if we kill Hitler before he becomes Hitler, then it'll fix the timeline" with regards to Black. His Time Ring explanation is meant to explain why he, and all of his actions persist even though none of it should anymore.

Okay, so what's the problem with that ?
