I'm too used to Dokkan Battle as seeing SSR Black makes me think of that game. SSJR is going to be what I use lol
I usually put the J after the SS in SSJ, but I guess I forgot that time.
Back on topic though, does anybody know when new information comes out of any of the Jump Magazines?

There is no set schedule for when information is released. It comes when it comes.
Weekly Shonen Jump is released every Monday. V-Jump is released on the 21st of each month (barring a Sunday or holiday, in which case it gets moved up slightly); the October 2016 issue is due out August 20. Saikyo Jump comes out the first week of every-other-month; the September 2016 issue just came out on August 5.
Occasionally, other non-Shueisha magazines contain minor tidbits like upcoming episode titles or short summaries.

I need my weekly DBS new episode dose. And I need it right now!
Agreed. These random breaks take all the fun away due to the longer waits. Thankfully episode 55 is going to air this weekend. I can't wait!

Saturday can't come soon enough, my lord it really does feel like Super hasn't aired in months.

Yup just gotta slog through this Omni/KoA BS first. NEP tomorrow should be hype though.

Yup. 55 is scheduled for the 21Aug only taking a 1 week break for the Olympics. Though we have another break mid September so that's something to look forward too! Yay.

Really another break in September? But we just had 2 breaks really close to each other. Well if it helps quality then sure.

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

Super and One Piece are being replaced with a Kochikame TV Special on September 18th. As much as I'd like these breaks to amount to something, they likely aren't doing anything for the quality of the show. Instead of sorting out their schedule problems and creating a buffer, the animators are likely just using that time to work on cuts for different series.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Ah shit. Looks like a lot of events are forcing these breaks.

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.

They are getting more frequent, looks like Toei is trying to pull a Togashi

The issue with the schedule is getting everything before the animation done on time and most of the writers and storyboarders work exclusively or near exclusively on Super. On top of that all of the animation Supervisors on the show work exclusively on it and a fair amount of the animators work exclusively or near exclusively on it. These breaks will definitely help the show, it just might not be immediately noticeable or felt.
I thought they were taking a two week break.
