Yes. So they are all going to the future. That is a relief. Can't wait for the next episode now. :)

I don't see why anyone was ever questioning whether or not everyone would go with Trunks. What sense would it make to go back in time for help, stay for 15 minutes and go directly back to the future with the same power level you had before.

NEP certainly implied that and I was hoping it would be misleading.

Yeah I suppose the NEP did but still just from a logic perspective...if they had done that it might have been too much for me to swallow even as a massive fan.

I'm happy that they go in the future because it looks so fucking dark there and of course we see them for first time in the future i like that idea

That wouldn't make any sense. It's been about 20 years since Future Gohan was killed.

I don't see why people are worried about a new movie, other then it might screw with supers production.

They'd just do what they do with the one piece movies (which I've never actually watched any of), have toriyama write it to kinda fit, but be it's own thing.

One Piece is more of an adventure story so you can have stand alone stories that doesn't effect the main plot. Dragon Ball after it went to Z is action with series of escalaties. Which is why the original Z movies were monster of the week format. If the monster is just an one-shot with no real motive but to destroy, it's boring since we have the two canon movies.

Movie with the lesser side could work, but I see those being tv specials.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

As far as I know, the only two One Piece films that Eiichiro Oda was/is actually apart of were Film: Z and now the recent Film: Gold.

Weren't those the most recent movies though? Seems to kinda be the new trend for these series in general. Besides I'm sure if Toriyama has an idea, that doesn't, or can't fit, and is a stand alone they'll just turn it into a movie.

Oda have been helping to produce movies for One Piece since at least 2010. It isn't that recent.

Also, Toriyama's ideas tend to connect to previous lore like Beerus coming to see Goku because he defeated Freeza as a Super Saiyan, Freeza returning and how Goku and Vegeta got stronger from training with Whis, and the stuff from Super. When it comes to Dragon Ball, Toriyama hasn't written a stand alone story since the Red Ribbon Army Saga. The closest thing he has written to a stand alone Dragon Ball story is Jaco and Minus if you count that.

I doubt it will make much of a difference if Goku Black destroys a separate timeline.

Agreed. Address the actual point without attacking the individual. Otherwise, the only thing you have to look forward to are account strikes, which have indeed been issued in this case. Please note that these add up to temporary/permanent bans, which revoke access to the ENTIRETY of the Kanzenshuu website (including all guides, translations, podcast episodes, forum discussions, etc.).

We take our discussions seriously here, so if that's not something you're interested in, we may be at odds on a base level. Please refer to the community guidelines that you agreed to (twice) prior to registration.

That'd be rich if they showed flashbacks from that special. Show a teen Trunks who is the same age as Kid Trunks, despite the latter being a midget. Not to mention, the purple hair and him actually having to earn SSJ, unlike his counterpart.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

That's very unlikely lmao.

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.
