"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[DBZ_Lee]

With regards to Bulma saying she hasn't seen Goku for 5 years, this really doesn't hold much weight for me. There are many ways they can get around it, and to be honest, I really don't think Toriyama Sensei cares all that much.
Another thing would be to change the dialogue in Kai, so she actually doesn't say it - though I can't see it, because it's whole purpose is to be closer to the Manga.

Seeing as Super, like the dreaded GT, will be Anime Exclusive (yes, I know it is getting a Manga, but it won't be drawn by Toriyama Sensei, and isn't part of WSJ) I don't think they'll be too concerned with one sentence.

I do have a feeling it will take place EoZ, though I hope I'm wrong, even though I am in the minority. Though if they do go EoZ, they have to be careful they don't run into GT's timeline, as it could get very messy.

Even if it takes place after the 28th Tenkachi Budokai, I don't think it matters if it goes into the GT time era or not. GT at this rate is just another alternate timeline to the main series. No different how DBZ Movies 1-13 can be view as different timelines from the main timeline of the anime and manga.

At this stage its pretty clear they don't care about messing with GT.

Or do they?

Do I hear a... GT crossover?!

Dragon Ball Super x GT!

No. Just no. If Dragon Ball Super becomes a hit down the line, then we'll talk about crossovers.

They changed the color of SSJ, added new transformation that requires nothing but holding hands and standing in circle, expanded the lore with new deities which posses power and abilities that essentially reshape the structure of DB universe, gave Freeza new form and more. If they still care about GT, they're doing absolutely terrible job trying to not step on its toes.

As for crossover, I wouldn't be surprised if the most popular things like SSJ4 design were "transferred" to Super.

Has the time period been confirmed yet?

Has the time period been confirmed yet?

Nope, not yet. Probably not until VJump, unfortunately.

[Retan]

When does V-Jump come out, and is that the day we get the first chapter of the new manga?

It usually leaks on the 16th-17th and yes this month's issue will have the 1st chapter.

Dammit I found this device called TV pad, similar to apple tv and chromecast except it broadcasts stations from China. The version that broadcast channels from Japan isn't out yet! It's 300 bucks but I'll pay that just to get fuji tv and watch Super. Call me crazy, do it.

[Chuquita]

I went through Goten and Trunks' tags on pixiv; Goten's is about evenly split between EoZ and Buu arc selves. Trunks' is more difficult to tell because he shares his tag with Future Trunks. So I guess my result is; there isn't a strong opinion either way in the Pixiv community on which of the three eras people would want Super to take place?

[Rocketman]

GT had that too.

When I said that months ago when the BoG movie got released everyone laughed at me, now I see many people belive that it may happen!

I still hope they do that instead of trying to connect Super with GT. It will be very disappointing.

Maybe GT will appear in Super if they are one of the other 11 different universes and maybe we can see SS4 there as well, who knows? It will be fun if done so.

To be fair, I don't think the twelve universes work that way. Like, they're not alternate timelines like Future Trunks', they're actual completely different universes of space...

...

...I think.

[funrush]

When Goku and Vegeta go SSJ they get blue hair.

I think they don't really care about stepping on GT very much at all. So in this case I'd love to see them explore the area that GT once had.

[Basaku]

GT had that too.

Not the point, I mean having a powerful plot-device transformation available and not using it in GT. Not a contradiction per se, but only adds to the general incompatibility of GT with new movies.

[shinmaru]

I'm 100% sure that it will take place after F because Characters are getting new outfits, Bejita and Goku have a new master, Beerus explaining about the 12 universes, new transformations and more. All the new stuff was building up to Super. It doesnt make much sense if it starts after EOZ or right after Buu.


Many predictions that a made are accurate. Like Toyatoro working with Toriyama for a new series. And I was sure after seen BOG that we are getting a new anime and more, so maybe I'm right again.

I'm now near convinced we're jumping in right after F. The "shin/godly" pun is what did it.

[Ushabtis]

well if its right after ROF. Goten and Trunks better look closer to their age, BOG designs really threw me for a loop.
