Or maybe something like referencing the Super Saiyan Grades.

The tournament is team battles.
I'm not sure if the tournament was confirmed to be team battles only though.

People have been saying that since Champa arc and yet here we are 3 major arcs later, with the franchise making a lot of money, Super always on top 10 tv rankings and no end on sight.
Super is not in that dangerous zone you're making out to be.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Someone has literally said this about every single arc since the retellings. No, it won't make or break anything.

Fem!Broly is... no, just... no. Think about what you did, Toei, then go back to the drawing board and come up with something original, something that doesn't reek of the same pure fanservice you decided to dump in the Future Trunks arc. Don't just rehash a popular and overexposed character, actually create something fresh and new.

To be fair, this was kind of foreshadowed a couple of weeks ago: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2017/01/05/ya ... kio-iyoku/

It would be funny if canon wise the LSSJ is the SSJ form for female saiyans, imagine Pan and Bra transforming into that :lol:i

They just did with the others Gods of Destruction and the other two new fighters we saw Goku and SSJ Vegeta fighting.
You can complain about the Angels if you want, but there's still more diversity in them than in the Namekians.

The only real new aspects of Super has been Beerus, all the God's, alternate universes, etc.

But the individual stuff that happens in them and all the old characters returning is mostly nostalgia based. I mean next filler literally shows all the old past villains again. Why else would they do that?

Those are quite huge aspects when you think about. I mean, literal other universes? That's never been done before in Dragon Ball, and opens an endless amount of potential stories.

That's exactly why I'm scared that they're going to use this next arc to throw that potential away by having the Omni Kings destroy those universes.

It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for them to throw out something that gives the franchise infinite potential for stories.

if the universes do get destroyed they will be just brought back. This series is named after a plot device to bring things back. And just by looking at the designs I can already tell this arc will be no where near as dark people think it will be. And I love the designs.

Except Trunks' timeline and everyone in it.

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.

Thats because it's not the main time line. And they high lighted that the future trunks arc will be dark, I see no such thing for this arc.

How is universes being destroyed if you lose not dark?

As do I. That's my biggest fear for the next arc.

You could have just as many potential stories with one universe, cause y'know, each one is fucking enormous! The only possibility it cuts off is those involving Planet Sadal. Besides, Dragon Ball is absolute rubbish when it comes to exploration (ironically enough, since that's what it was founded on), so the loss of the 12 wouldn't have much impact. Even losing the U6 characters would be annoying at its absolute worst.
