Don't count on it, it's never happened before and the episode will be a rather slow start to a big arc so it likely won't hit hard like Goku Black's first episode didemperior wrote:Maybe Episode 77 will be the first time DBS surpasses One Piece?

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
That number is probably because of the nostalgia effect of Goku and Krillin training again under Roshi.
I saw some people really happy for that. But ratings are unpredictable in any case.
Fantastic number anyway!!

They were tied, one didn't beat the other. With Kai I think they beat One Piece a few times but with Super it's never happenedAlee9977 wrote:It happened before, It can happen now, really hard though, but not impossible.VejituhTheWarriorGuy wrote:Don't count on it, it's never happened before and the episode will be a rather slow start to a big arc so it likely won't hit hard like Goku Black's first episode didemperior wrote:Maybe Episode 77 will be the first time DBS surpasses One Piece?

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
What are the odds that an episode with one of the highest ratings in the show's run ended up having an unannounced preview for the next arc? That worked out nicely for Toei.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
I'm staggered by that rating. I truly am. Can't believe a filler episode would score that high of a rating. Perhaps the advertisement of Freeza and Cell returning had something to do with it.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Does it really matter if something is a filler or not? I don't think Japan cares so much that they purposely skip filler episodes. I don't understand why people say, "Wow, the ratings are so high for a filler episode!" like it's supposed to mean something.Lord Beerus wrote:I'm staggered by that rating. I truly am.

They're all episodes of the show.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Fillers really only have any impact when they came in huge numbers, and when they are not good(most of them aren't).
Just one filler alone doesn't mean much in terms of what rating it will get. The decline has more to do with people getting tired and getting the knowledge that the episodes in the end don't even matter for the overall of the series and specially for later.
Dragon Ball Super doesn't have a source material, so I don't even think people will consider any episode filler/original episodes. There is no knowledge that what is used in one of those episodes will not matter later.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Placing precita's message into perspective, Dragon Ball Super's primary audience is young children. While it's foolish to claim children don't notice intermediary arcs, I believe it's equally neglectful to forget they'll likely continue watching something they enjoy, even if it's not the "main content". As a child, I wasn't worried about continuity unless I felt something was blatantly nonsensical. In that event, I discussed it with my friends & we moved on to the next episode instead of lingering behind the meaning of it.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
With that 7.6 I'm now curious how the next two episodes will behave.
The next one it's still about Goku and Krillin and some people may watch it just to see if there's a new trailer in the end too.
The other will be the official start of the next arc + debut of the new Opening.
I wonder if it will beat FT Trunks arc debut. That 8.4 of episode 47 still feels like such a abnormality.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
I know there's a separate thread for it but is it worth me putting the US ratings alongside the others?
In the other thread they aren't being updated in the OP so they could be hard to find in the long run of things. Just an idea.

No. There are designated threads for a reason. Unless a mod says otherwise, then I'm a dumbass lol.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
You should just update the original post in your topic with the latest TV ratings like this thread does. It is handy for people interested in knowing the ratings as they won't need to browse the thread page-by-page to see the rating of a specific episode.Cure Dragon 255 wrote:No. There are designated threads for a reason.

The dubs ratings have their own threads, so I say no.

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.

Woof. Quite a dip from last week. So much for Krillin being a draw.
