"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[JulieYBM]

New episode titles for Naruto Shippuuden has appeared via magazine scans. Dragon Ball Super should not be very far behind.

Off-topic here, but I thought Shippuden just ended. Maybe I just assumed because of the "last Naruto VS Sasuke fight"?

No, it's not ending. The series will continue throughout the Winter 2017 season, too. After they finish adapting the immediate wrap up to Naruto versus Sasuke they're doing an episode about Naruto and Hinata and in the winter season they will be adapting the epilogue novels that cover the material centered on the two years following the Fourth Ninja War arc.

They're REALLY gunning for a Boruto show to happen right after Shippuden aren't they?

It's inevitable. The problem is that Shueisha has rather handedly mishandled the entire situation. The Boruto comic is monthly, began production far too late and is in a race against time to build up enough material for the production staff to adapt. Of course, Shueisha and JUMP want Naruto Shippuuden to keep running for as long as possible to remind the audience about the comic, too.

They wouldn't be in such a rush if they didn't make it a pointless adaptation of the movie. A pretty slow one too since its what, 6-7 chapters in and has covered only half an hour of the movies run time?

It has to have been mentioned before, but has anyone ever gone "Why doesn't Black just blow planets up" in regards to his extinction plan? My thought has always been that it was no for two reasons:

1) Zamasu doesn't want planets destroyed, merely wants them cleansed of "human" life so they can "flourish" without them.

2) Black wants to get stronger by being tested by fighters like Trunks. Although, didn't he say he destroyed planets before? Guess destroy can be translated as many things...

Thanks guys!

Black makes it clear that he wants mortals gone, not the planet itself. He sees it as 'Pest Control' for the Universe. Remember the episode where he monolouges about how he'll make Earth a paradise after all the dirty nigen are gone?

Ah! You've jogged my memory. Thanks brother.

There is certainly enough time for them to do so. It'd be awesome if they fleshed out the romance stuff even more. I want to see them date and stuff!

To get mostly back on-topic, does anyone have the Yamamuro art for Battle of Gods, Resurrection 'F', and Super all separated like this one I got on DB Wikia?

Nope. There's still some materiel left from the manga to adapt. Like the actual ending. Plus, the Naruto light novels, Shikamaru Hiden, Konoha Hiden and Sasuke Shinden are going to be adapted into mini-arcs, with the episodes set to debut in winter this year. So would imagine those episode will air before the actual ending of the manga gets adapted. So really, the Shippudden anime won't end until early 2017 at the earliest.

You can find most of it here.

So if episode 62-63 are focused on Vegeta & Future Trunks maybe something happend to Goku right???

Wait what? Were the titles leaked or something because I haven't seen any titles.

Yes. The half-titles should be Trunks' Super Power and Vegeta's Fierce Battle, if I recall correctly.

But they are provisional, though....

I thought the movie had enough romance at least for me. Studio Pierrot really takes extra care when it comes to NaruHina, so yeah it might turn out to be good.

Back on topic, looking forward to see the staff of eps 62-64.

Interesting that we are getting toys for Super coming out in 2017. It looks like they are from Bandai America.

[kinisking]

Speaking of Naruto. It has the best God damn soundtrack ever.

Also those toys look bad.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm actually fully predicting that the Boruto anime, when it happens, is probably going to re-adapt the Boruto movie (the same way the manga is now) ala Super re-doing BoG and F. Albeit hopefully without some of the other hiccups Super has had.

On topic of Super, pretty neat that we'll be getting a toyline (even if they look...questionable...especially that Majin Boo, yikes), cuz surely that means the show can't be far off either.

[Hellspawn28]

If Super airs on a kids network, will the Japanese music be used or not? If they do a replacement source, I hope we can watch the dub with the Japanese music as a option on the home video release.

Nothing beats Shunsuke Kikuchi soundtrack, so I highly disagree

FUNimation is not the same as used to be in early Z Dub (see Kai), so I doubt something like that would happen.

They look like Burger King figures...

I second this. I can't help it but I love his music so frickin' much! It gets me hyped up every time I hear it and I always know what I'm about to watch whenever it catches my ear.

Edit: I just caught a look of those figures. I'm not even a collector and they still look atrocious to me.
