"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

This saga will be filler if there is not any word about it being written by Toriyama, just like that "Potaufeu" is (and unlike Gods Tournament and Future Trunks sagas, both were announced as being written by the author).

I dont remember Potaufeu Arc being "hyped" in the Magazine, The upcoming Arc being be connected to another one(Saiyan Saga to Namek Saga). Although for some reason this could bit a similar to when Ledgic was forced to fight Goku in GT and the main villain of that arc was a weakling IIRC.

Maybe but Potafu wasn't announced like this was it? At any rate I think Jump Festa is on the week before this arc starts so we should know for sure soon!

This Hit stuff wasn't exactly made out to be a big announcement though, they are even reusing art from the Champa arc. It also makes sense to do some kind of announcement (even if it's small like this) for this arc if it is filler just because it has a fan favorite character returning.
Also Jump Festa's second day is the day that the Hit episode airs, lending more credence to the idea that this isn't Toriyama's next arc.

Pretty excited by the episode titles, especially with the return of Champa confirmed. The baseball episode should be funny. I was hoping for a few more slice-of-life episodes rather than another Potafu-style filler arc, but if the writers expand on Hit this could be interesting. I'll hold off judgement until we know how long this arc will be, and whether or not it is indeed filler.

I'm also getting some filler saga vibes from that episode title. The Arale and Yamcha episodes are clearly slice of life, but the Hit thing also feels like it's gonna be a "Garlic Jr. saga". Toyotarou is going to jump ahead with the manga through ignoring this upcoming thing for sure.
I can't imagine the Hit thing being the new big arc, because Jump Festa will be on December 17th-18th, and the Hit thing also starts on December 18th. That means they'd go "Oh yeah, our announcement is that there's a new arc starting right now", which would be weird... and not much of an announcement, really.

Also I'm assuming Whis will rewind time after Goku vs Arale destroys the planet.

Ok, the title of Episode 70 looks similar to the title of DBZ episode 4, when Goku dies during the battle with Raditz, I guess this will be an excuse to take Goku out of this Arc then Vegeta becomes the protagonist(temporarily), this could help to make Piccolo relevant again imo. We know Gohan as a character is done in the show.

[Ki Breaker]

No..
This is definitely not a new arc revealed.. Hit vs Goku happening like this without any announcements at all is absurd..
On other note.. oh god the happy feelings coursing through me when I see Yamcha being important against a match by champa ..
Who would have thought..

I cannot explain how champa knew of baseball though..
Godtube? Anyone..

Is it? Well then yeah youre probably right Toyo will probably skip this and jump to whatever is announced. The premise for this arc is certainly interesting hope they deliver!

Universe 6's Earth was revived after the Champa arc. This we know. Champa probably then visited U6 Earth to taste its food (as hyped by Beerus and cup ramen) and ran into a baseball match along the way, liking the idea of it.

Vegeta beating Hit as revenge for Goku's death could be great! Also if this truly is a filler arc then there is absolutely no way Gohan or Piccolo will do anything. They would have to grow exponentially in power and I don't think a filler arc is willing to do that for them.

Huh.. for some reason I totally forgot this part of the story..
It's a much interesting explanation than godtube surely.. also gives more depth to the Character, knowing things are happening without us seeing it too..

I wish it was Vegeta who was targeted for assassination, not Goku!

[Ki Breaker]

Guys...
The one who put a assassination request on goku.. could it be frost?

He seems like that kind of guy who would do that and has the money to pull this off

That seems pretty likely actually, I mean who else from Universe 6 would want Goku dead?

I doubt it's Frost since the person who knocked him into the barrier was Vegeta.

Why? Hit and Goku have a backstory and this could lead to Vegeta getting more of a spotlight.

Why would Frost want Goku dead? Goku never did any harm to him. Jaco exposed him and Vegeta humiliated him.

That is assuming that whoever paid Hit is from U6. They might not be.

For that reason!!

Maybe it's Whis the one who hired Hit, in order to test Goku.
