Not true. Xicor's desgin has been on the web before Toyotaro's AF manga. I remember seeing this image on the web around 2004.

Cleary Toriyama isnt watching some youtube when he said he wants kids to understand the story. The majority of dbz dbs fanbase are cleary no kids!

Who would think in these 10 years (buu sage - eos dbz) that so much shit was going on. Uub should be definitly stronger than kid buu imo.

I am.glad trunks is returning in dbs. There is always serious shit going on when Trunks is around, something dbs is missing right now.

I didn't understand your logic. Goku went to Earth and bumped his head normally in Trunks' timeline. It already happened, so it can't unhappen.
No I mean in U6 Earth in Trunks' timeline. The U6 story will most likely be re-written twice to make them not destroy themselves. I think this is what Toriyama means it'll get confusing.

Think about the people in Japan. The main target audience for the series. The series is still market to kids in Japan. The series is more market to older fans in the US because Funimation keeps the series uncut and it's easier to do that. Also the demand for anime market to kids in the US is way low compare to what it was 10-20 years ago.

It still wouldn't work because since there is no Goku in U6 (at least as far as we know), then he shouldn't exist in Trunks'-timeline-U6 either.

How long before the premier of a new anime OP does Toei usually announce them?

Him being reintroduced doesn't mean we'll get something serious like his Z arc cause Freeza's was as serious as hell but his Super arc/movie was a joke.

So this could be like the other arcs where it's short and everything's under control.

They usually announce the endings 3-4 weeks before they're aired so I'm guessing that's when they announce their new openings as well.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Do you really blame them? That was one of the first Black Goku / Goku Black we've ever had.

I don't really see it as a big deal. The only other character who has a red scarf is Bulma.
That's orange. Doesn't count. :lol:

It would be cool if his scarf is a trophy from killing Android 17. :thumbup:

Judging from his new look, the grip and the cross-guard of the sword seem to be different from before, so he probably got a new one.

The person you quoted acts like he ever needed a sword. The dude likes swords, who cares.

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.

Not to mention, he took the time to learn fighting with a sword, so he could well have taken a liking to it and made it a point to have it fixed/get a new one/etc. He didn't exactly have much time to during his last arc, there was way too much going on.

Toriyama brought back Freeza and is bringing back Trunks so that could still happen weather it's in this arc or another one.
This arc was also suggested to Toriyama instead of him just coming up with it entirely on his own, so Bardock definitely isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Mirai Trunks, Bardock, what will be the next... Broly? What the f***
Li'l Lemmy wrote:Mind you, I haven't kept up much with watching the actual episodes, but having at least kept aware of the general developments to this point, I can say I'm mostly done with Super for awhile now that this Future Trunks arc has been announced. It just feels too gimmicky and cheap for a character whose arc was mostly (and wonderfully) completed, not to mention that having a more "popular" Trunks kills whatever little chance the present Trunks had at character development in favor of exploiting bishy future coolness.

Yawn. Wake me when it's over, or if I'm somehow proven wrong.
I mostly agree with you and like was pointed before by dbzfan7 and many others, Mirai Trunks returning kinda screws up with Present Trunks/Goten development.

But what the f*** we can do? Just see and hope it is not too bad.


About Black/Evil Goku:
Michsi wrote:Assuming it's an induced "evilness", something he had no control over than I don't see why the others would blame him, much less not forgive him. I mean, Vegeta did it willingly and he had no problem being taken back as part of the group.

But yeah, if it ever happens, him retaining his cheerful persona would be good choice, as in it would the most unsettling.

That would be something menacing, scary and yet interesting to see about this Evil Goku.

GOLDEN frieza

BLACK Goku

Super saiyan BLUE

I think it's time for proper name rather then just colors.

I think if Super Saiyan was premeiring in Super it'd be "Yellow Saiyan" or some crap. I get Super gets a lot of hate, But I also feel like people don't criticize it enough in some respects.
Any post before 8/7/2016 isn't mine. This account was a gift from someone who thought the account was already banned. Saved me the trouble of making a new one haha XD

I love DB/DBZ/DBGT/DBZK/DBS (If I didn't why would I be here? XD)
