"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

If Toyotaro is showing the manga to AT, it means Super Saiyan Blue is actually approved by the man himself so it's likely the anime will finally retcon the name too.

I doubt that's the case. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is what Toriyama officially named the new form, and I doubt he would change it now.

[kinisking]

Now I'm wondering why Toei changed the layout and design of things.

Because they don't care, they just want to get the show out as fast and with as little effort as possible.

Look what they did to Frost, in some shots he has Freeza's head design.

The funny thing is, the anime was the first to show how frost head is supposed to look like. The manga got it wrong in chapter 9

[sintzu]

The production is doing more work now than ever before.

It's just as bad as it was when it started.

[Araki]

Now I'm wondering why Toei changed the layout and design of things. I wonder if that's part of what upset Toriyama (they did have Vados call the initial benches design simple, I think.)

There's nothing saying Toei changed anything. That arena was done by Toyotaro, it just says Toriyama was shown and fixed those particular Toyotaro's pages for some reason, and that's it. Let's not jump to assumptions. He's not drawing the manga.

Yeah. If he approved the joke, it just means he found it funny or not offensive enough to change (like he cares).

In one shot. Toyotaro also got him wrong, and even his lips once, too.

Man, I just rewatched the beerus fight and damn. Episode 11 is just a masterpiece. Not just the animation and art, but they'res something about how it's organized that screams DBZ

[Sodhi]

Sketches from Dragon Ball Super. Seem made by Akira Toriyama. They have been shown in a live event from V-Jump:

Ah I like when toriyama gets involved, it just makes me happy for some reason. So we know that toyotaro sends the chapters for toriyama to read and possibly correct them, which means he gets his info from toei?, or he gets it directly from toriyama and sends it back for toriyama to give the final word. Any mention of that in any of the tweets?

[sintzu]

Is there anything new here ?

Its the same info we already know. The only thing extra is that we get to see the back of the manga.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan is what Toriyama officially named the new form, and I doubt he would change it now.

Where was it confirmed that Toriyama gave the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan name? He didn't mention that name in Volume "F" from what I recall.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

We're mainly assuming, because the name looks handwritten, like the rest of his notes.

I feel like ssg was a perfect time to let saiyans gain the ability to breathe in space. It would be so awesome to have epic space battles where they go around destroying planets as they go due to their god powers. Like champa vs Beerus in the manga

[alakazam^]

In the next installment of Dragon Ball Heroes, God Mission 8, the game will get Hit, Vados and Cabba cards. There will also be Goku and Vegeta cards that can transform from SS into Blue.

We know Heroes does its own thing but, like the previous SS promotional cards that were revealead before they transformed in the anime, I think it's "proof" that Blue is here to stay.

[Chuquita]

Blue looks fine with their current F arc outfits, and it's really only Gokû that I liked a lot in regular magenta ssjg form so I'm ok with blue staying. There really aren't any other ssj recolors I'm curious to see, so.

I hope that them including Cabba in that DBH group means he has something plot related coming up.

I'm actually glad that they didn't and haven't tried to do anything like that, I'm kinda glad that with all the power Goku's gotten, he doesn't have pure invincibility. Heck I was kinda grinning when all that heat and lava Magetta was giving off, effected Vegeta in the way it did. It means they aren't immune to extreme heat and such. Which is good...ya gotta draw the line somewhere and have a few weaknesses.

I don't mind them having weaknesses to Heat and Cold. But space travel would open new possibilities for battle. Also, seeing as how all these villians can breath in space, any battles kinda seem stupid. How easy would it be for the Villian to just blow up earth real quick and dispose of the Z-fighters? That's what I liked about ROF, blowing up the earth should be a no brainer.

Well for one thing, they would need to be immune to the cold in order to fight out in space. It's a vacuum and its very very cold out there. Two, giving them the ability to breath in space would really take the teeth out of that trump card the villains have. Yeah space battles sound cool but...it feels like a tipping point. We give them the ability to breath in space and sooner or later we're gonna have invincible, immune to everything saiyans...and I don't want that. Plus I like my dragon ball fights having colorful, lively backgrounds, not the pitch black void of space.

Lol I dont think that would ever be taken into account (the cold from space). Dragonball doesn't really look that deep into science haha. Also, the villians arent even using the trump card which is what i have a problem with.

What would you think about them fighting on a planet and then destroying it due to their insane strength. Flying to another planet and continuing it there. So on and so on? That way you could get multiple colorful and lively backgrounds per fight!

I think that kind of battle would get very boring, very quickly, I also doubt animators would put any effort into a planet's background if that planet was just there to be blown up due to a battle. I also don't think such a fight would really do anything other then be destruction porn and really...I don't care about destruction porn unless it serves a purpose to the narrative. If its just destruction for the sake of destruction then yeah...its kinda boring. I also think such a battle is...very unbecoming of Goku, I doubt such random destruction (And probably massive losses of life.) Would sit well even with him.

Yeah it probably wouldn't sit well with him but if he had to it could be in the realm of possibility. And youre right, the animators could never pull it off
