"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Chuquita]

Since she's mentioned as helping out with the movie I think odds are decent that Great Saiyaman 2 will be in this.

(Maybe Uncle "Piccoyo" is the one taking care of Pan this episode.)

[Grimlock]

So what are the odds of we see the return of Great Saiyaman 2?

High, as that's a Toei's thing, so whenever Toei has opportunity, they'll do it. Just like adding Gregory and some other fillers characters.

Nice, but why you talk like it is a bad thing? No need to have problems with filler characters if they don't harm the story.

1. How is that talking like it's a bad thing?
2. He could just not like the Great Saiyaman 2.

Wait, so Great Saiyawoman ISN'T a Toriyama property? I mean, I've always thought of that to be just as 'canon' as Gregory.

Pretty sure Saiyawoman was a dub-only addition.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about how the CONCEPT of Saiyawoman wasn't a Toriyama property, not the name itself.

[Noah]

How is that talking like it's a bad thing?

It seemed like as people when they refer to filler tend to see as a always bad thing

That's a big assumption. At most the tone of that post was 'Neutral'

Yeah, exactly. I guess to be more clear, does this mean that the CONCEPT of Great Saiyawoman wasn't invented by Toriyama?

Pretty much nothing that we already didn't know.

I loved their comment on Broly. You can tell they don't care for the character.

Broly is okay. My only problem is he's not very useful as an opponent and that the three movies he appeared in are just too similar plot wise for my taste.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Character? No such thing is present in the soulless being know as Broly.

I'm fine with that. He's a boring character imo. I'd rather not see him come back.

Reading it, that's not at all what it sounds like at all.

The article goes on and on about how their specific goal is commercializations and merchandising to the point where they have input into the products for commercial purposes. They cite Dragonball fusions as being as being a product that they felt would sell well even though many of the many of the fusions were not present in the original run. Then they go on to state Broly is incredibly popular overseas. If anything it sounds like they are setting up the justification for more Broly content.

Using him again to make money and liking the character aren't the same things. They pretty much said that the only reason he's popular is because he's powerful and musclebound, and that in Japan they care about more than that.

[Draconic]

I really don't get the Broly comment. If Japan wasn't interested in him they wouldn't have focused so much on him in Heroes, which is exclusive to them.

I most likely means that in DB, western popularity leans more towards Broly-like characteristics than in Japan, not necessarily that Broly isn't popular in Japan.
