Jaco and krillin need their own arc together.
Yes, definitely. Krillin seems oddly underused lately in terms of peacetime scenes.

Other than that I'm not sure what else they will do. Android 17 may or may not get a filler or they'll probably just reintroduce him in the ep he returns for. Tenshihan doesn't really seem to be the type to make peacetime filler eps about, so I doubt we'll see him.

Maybe a Trunks and Goten ep or something.

They are the most boring characters of super, goten has no personality what so ever than agreeing with trunks and trunks is just bratty, they make up the stupidest filler, see the videl makeup water episode..
Instead of all this 17 should be shown talking with krillins family for someones party or something, introduce 17 for half an episode its not gonna be possible to introduce him nicely and put every other details in one episode when the arc starts

I want them to introduce 17 in episode 75 and then he has a rematch with Piccolo in episode 76. 17 has trained so he can at least compete with Piccolo.

Piccolo still shits on him, fast..
Piccolo was training with gohan, and was throwing base gohan around, managed to nearly defeat frost..
17 can't possibly hope to complete anymore

Wait for Bulma doing an upgrade form 17 and 18.

Actually I think it would be perfect to do so.

Now that's an idea I can get behind, but for some reason bulma dosen't seem to create any fighting machines with her tech skills, she could at least have remade 16 better..

It took all her and Dr. Brief's skills to simply repair No. 16 back to normal. I doubt it was from a lack of effort they didn't have the immediate means to enhance him before the Cell Game started. Gero's Artificial Humans were complicated enough for the two back then.

We can see Policeman Krillin in the preview of the next episode.

Gohan has come back to the show in a big way. It's crazy to think I was wondering if he was even going to be able to play baseball with every one else to now knowing he'll be having his own two-parter.
It's just a silly two part "filler" it's not a big come back at all especially since the first episode has a side plot involving Jaco. Now if he had something similar to the Goku hit thing that would be a big comeback but we've had Gohan episodes like this before.

I was talking about remaking a better 16's model from scratch after cell games ended, it could help against buu..
Self repairing machine 16 ( terminator type ) vs regenerating fat buu..

They could even do it now in super, she sure has had enough time to study 16..

It would also be funny to have a genos type Robo character who is torn apart all the time :lol:

I would want it to be about 17, introduce him to the show and let us know what he was doing, and also could serve to seeing again the likes of Android 8, Suno.
I feel like something like that might tie into the main arc. Though if not then yeah I'd be down with that like the Black arc could have done with a preBlack arc about Trunks and his training with the Kioshin and that could've solved a lot of the problems later on.
Trunks didn't train with the Kai in the anime. He just got tips while fighting Dabura.

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.

He got "teachings", not necessarily tips (although also not necessarily training). The anime left it really vague.

I'm guessing that was probably because Toriyama kept it vague in his outline, too.

Especially for how similar this is to the baby plot, can't wait to see gohan defeat "baby" after how easily and terribly he himself got possessed in gt..
Of course pan herself is gonna defeat Barry, she will be given some love too
I wont mind if he does a Garlick Jr reference with something like "This is like before" and we see flashbacks of the Garlick Jr Arc.

Wait a second... A symbiotic entity comes from outer space, takes control of a character who hates the main character (Who also happens to be a Super Hero), and judging by the preview for episode 73 it might be due to the main character stealing away affection.... Dear God. IT'S SPIDERMAN 3!
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

It seems like the upcoming villain for this mini arc sounds pretty cool. It makes me wish that he could would be a bigger arc villain.

I disagree. Goten and Trunks can easily become very interesting characters (especially when they're older) if they stopped being grouped with Pilaf as comic relief

That's not really the point. Gohan was basically sidelined for 30 episodes following the end of the Resurrection F arc, only appearing in less than a handful of individual episodes for nearly a year now. For him to have consistently shown up in every episode since 67 (minus the Arale episode) and have the next two episodes dedicated specifically to him is definitely a big deal.

Plus he's in the next arc. Even if he's not a main character it's a huge rise from what we received.

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.
