In addition to domestic merchandise development, another major job for this section is expanding overseas. It seems that the basis for what makes a character popular are slightly different overseas than in Japan: “Overseas, ‘strength’ determines popularity”, he says. One particularly large difference between Japan and overseas is the “incredible popularity” of the movie-original character Broli, who appeared as an enemy in three films (one of which featured a clone of him): “He’s got bulging muscles and gives Goku a tough fight, so the Super Saiyan version of Broli is popular.”
What? They said "strength determines popularity" but how so if Broly nowadays is a weakling compared to the current cast of Super? If we consider his Heroes SSJ4 transformation he still probably weaker than SSB Goku/Vegeta for sure.

But I would dig a Broly arc, it would be interesting... I miss the violence in this series, Black was a savage but not like Broly

I believe you're reading that too literally. They're expressing, from their observation, that the most popular characters & strong characters (in relation to how they battle other characters, most likely) carries correlation "overseas". They didn't provide data so anything beyond that is fun speculation. But I'm certain they aren't thinking about strict battle powers. :P

Two Tomioka episodes rounding out the end of January and early February:

It looks like a Gokû and Krillin episode followed by another Bulma, Whis, and a bit of Vegeta episode.
On hiatus.

It seems even the final filler episodes are going to be boring, and I'm going to continue to skip them all. :yawn:

Bloomer is pregnant with Bra in episode 77 and it's not long until she is born. Her fans can rejoice :thumbup:

About fucking time.

Seriously though, I'm really happy about this. All it needs is to have Goten/Trunks/Maron grow up a little bit and I couldn't be any more happier.

But unlike what the Daizenshuu timeline and GT Perfect files Vol. 1 says, it seems like Bra will be born in Age 781 in Super (at least in the anime.)

Geekdom will be happy. He has been complaining about Bra for over a year, saying her not being born at this moment is a plot hole, despite the original manga never given a date of birth. Only the guides.

Personally, I want to see that Goku and Krillin episode. The original BFF.

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.

That means there has been a little time skip. I still don't know why so many people are excited for bulla to appear when she is not going to be important.

One of my top wishes has been fulfilled, Universe Survival saga will indeed have Bra's presence. Now bring Goten and Trunks taller! :thumbup:

I'm just gonna give the gist of the episodes, they'll be properly translated soon enough anyway:

#74 - We already know abut this one. Saiiyaman movie, Watagashu wreaks havoc, etc. It seems that the host gets stronger for how much darkness he has in his heart.

#75 - Goku is getting bored because he doesn't have anyone to train with so Chichi calls Gohan. He then transforms into the Great Saiyaman "but..."

#76 - Still bored, Goku now tries Kuririn as a training partner, just like they did in the past. Kamesennin tells them to go into a forest to get a plant but, in that forest, Freeza, Cell and Majin Boo (maybe other past enemies as well) are all there.

#77 - Goku wants to train with Whis so he goes to Bloomer's but her belly grew. She's having her second child and is almost due so Vegeeta gets really anxious.

77 is supposed to be the start of the new arc, but it really doesn't sound like it, it's even tied into the previous two episodes. I'm guessing we're getting a pretty slow start for this arc.

Something related to the new arc may happen at the end.

Maybe at the end of the episode is when Zen'ou summons Beers and Kaioushin and Bra will act as extra motivation for Vegeeta.

I'm guessing it'll be like the early BoG arc where stuff is happening in the background while the heroes are doing unrelated stuff.

Wonderful to know that Bra has not been forgotten. Now if Goten and Trunks will grow the fuck up already, that would be a great bonus. EP77 hopefully will be a great character driven episode for Vegeta as we've never actually seen him react to a scenario like this before.

Come to think of it do you think Trunks/Goten were left out of the promos for the new tournament because they have new older designs?
