I can't comprehend why they don't update Trunks and Goten's designs. Aren't there like 30-40 people on staff? None of them thought of this?

Yamcha never carried the episode he just a big part at the end. It was carried by everyone. Any character can be the main focus of an episode or have a big part. The driving episode with Goku and Piccolo is an example how Piccolo can have a big part in a filler episode.
That whole episode was basically yamcha's point of view so I say he carried it. The only way I can see Piccolo having a big part of an episode is if he takes care of Pan.

Pan antics, most likely.
Beat me to it. Although I feel like in this case they'd be equally sharing time.

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.

I guess this would be the first time that we seen Cell and Freeza together since GT even if it's not the real deal.

Toei really loves to milk Freeza and Cell for all they're worth, don't they?

But then, how many years (months) is Pan older than Bra?

Because that is one of the two things that would kept Super for being canon, the second is the 5 years that Bulma didn't saw Goku (but I think that will be retconned, not sure about the whole EoZ, though)

What the actual F***? So I suppose the forest that Roshi tells them to go is in Dagobah lol

Paying a visit to New Namek, learning more about his people and way to get stronger in there, probably.

For the same reason ash is still 10, so little kids have someone to be attached to even if they are not even in the story.

besides it's also easier to draw kids than teens so.

What with this passive agressive relationship between Gohan and Piccolo fans. You wouldn't expect it considering they're like family in the show. They can both be relevant at the same time. No need to tear one apart for the sake of the other.

5 year gap is obviously retconned, what would mess with super is if they changed eoz.

Mate, no need to quote my whole post, you can edit before post ya know.

Anyway, yes! But I'm not sure if Super will go beyond EoZ, so I'll still thinking they would leave things in the end of the manga intact :think:

Wouldn't Goku say that to anyone not Vegeta? If Goku never ditched Piccolo then Trunks would have not been able to use the Mafuba. The most important thing is that Toriyama views Gohan as the joke and not Piccolo.

So do you actually believe that it is better for Goku to train with either Gohan or Krillin instead of Piccolo. Didn't Goku train for 3 years with Piccolo before.

Overall it is just more Toei nonsense.

Probably. That's why most of the current cast is fighting, probably a farewell to the current characters.

Adult Trunks/Goten, Pan, Bra and Uub here we come.
I actually wouldn't mind this if they actually became the main characters with Goku and Vegeta taking a backseat but that's not happening.
King Jacku wrote:I really hope Goku gives Gohan and Kuiririn some sort of ass whooping that gets them motivated, perhaps they see how strong he got while training with Whis and head over there?

Also, no Piccolo episode? C'mon, even Yamcha got one :problem:
Piccolo can't carry his own episode. What would it even be about?
The old cast will never be replaced unless we get a new series set in the future, even then Roshi, Piccolo and Buu will still probably be around.

Yamcha never carried the episode he just a big part at the end. It was carried by everyone. Any character can be the main focus of an episode or have a big part. The driving episode with Goku and Piccolo is an example how Piccolo can have a big part in a filler episode.
Not really since he was respectful of Future Trunks and praised Fat Buu' strength when Vegeta didn't want him. He only seems harsh on Piccolo for some reason. Also, when was it said that Toriyama view Gohan as a joke?

It's not Toei's nonsense. He just doesn't view Piccolo an interesting anymore. And he did invite Piccolo to train for the U6 tournament and it was Piccolo who turned him down.

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.

I wouldn't say that exists. It might exist between me and Namekiansaiyan but only because he feels the need to trash Gohan all the time so I feel the need to tease him every now and then :P. I have expressed that I want Piccolo to become relevant in some way already.

ABOUT FREAKING TIME BULLA IS BEING INTRODUCED!!!

I wonder if Toriyama remembered her or someone at Toei did first...

That being said, it is possible during the first trimester of a pregnancy to not be THAT noticeable. It could explain why we didn't really see Bulma pregnant before.
If we assume that she will give birth later in Age 780, then Bulla was conceived sometime in early spring. XD
DRAGON BALL IS THE KING OF (Fighting) ANIME!!!!!!! In my opinion, at least... :think:

My reaction to anything about Dragon Ball post-2013 that I don't like and/or is stupid. :P

Haha, Bulla?

Wait. This is real?

FUCKING FINALLY!!

Oh man, and Krillin and Gohan are actually training(?) too!? Dammit Super, all you need is to give us new designs for Goten and Trunks. Come on, I believe in you.

People keep saying, "Bulla" in this thread over and over. Seriously? I'm pretty sure her name was Bra in the uncut FUNI dub too.
