"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Lord Frieza]

I've thought of one other thing thats going to be a problem for Gohan.

Not only is he blind and cannot sense his foe but if Lavenda can tag him with any dangerous poison then the fight is also in a timer. Not only that but as with Goku and the Heart Virus, going SS might actual speed up the poisons distribution around his body.

If Gohan dose win or draw this fight he'll be lucky.

I like that Gohan wasn't given a brawler to just beat up. Lavenda is a tricky little dude with poison, which means Gohan will have to be tough and smart while entertaining Zeno. Here is hoping for a good show.

True Gohan seems to get every single female he encounters haha.

Guy with hidden powers activating abruptly, being oblivious to ladies affections surrounding him slowly building a hream?
Now where have I seen that plot before

In almost every harem action anime out there haha, this is the reason why I didn't like Gohan becoming the main lead of DB, the boy attracts too much ladies, and he'd be simply oblivious to it but at the same time be cool with it, he's not THAT gullible like his dad when it comes to girls, unlike Goku who has about 0 interest in women and a straight savage that taps that p*ssy as a sign to know if one is a boy or girl.

I can picture Goten having a harem. It would help to separate him from his dad and brother.

I've stated this a couple times already, but Gohan is either going to barely win or they will have a draw. If we look at the next episode summary I'm pretty sure it implies that Gokus match will be the tie breaker since Bergamo (if that's how you spell his name) wants to put such an emphasis on allowing this match to decide the fate of the universes

I'd say the summary more implies that Gohan wins, as Bergamo's deal seems more like a desperate plea for a second chance. It's a common trope in fiction where the heroes win two out of three in their 'match', and the opponent throws something into the mix interesting enough to give them a final chance to win. THough sometimes the protaganist and the opponent switch positions in these cases.

I'm not sure if it would really seperate him from either. I'm not sure if it's filler but I vaguely remember kid Goku being pretty popular with the ladies and Gohan got video, her friend , that one filler chick that blackmailed him, and an idol. I'd love to see him actively pursue girls though.

THIS EPISODE TONIGHT IS GONNA BE HYPE!!!

Lol Gohan fans be ready.

It's crazy. Gohan hasn't fought in over a year.

Well he fought Watagashi.

[Grimlock]

Filler doesn't count.

[TheMathemagician]

Filler doesn't count.

Gohan vs. Watagashi does count lol. Just like Goku vs. Hit (Round 2) counts, and Goku vs. Copy Vegeta, and Vegeta vs. Gryll.

Filler: "a thing or substance used to fill a gap" so yes its filler but it has a fundamental difference to the filler of the original DB anime.

Since Super is not based on any pre-existing marital, all its filler is a canonical part of its over all narrative. Its filler dose count and is cannon to Supers story.

Gohan vs. Watagashi. Goku vs. Copy Vegeta, and Vegeta vs. Gryll.

All Toei's stuff.

I never said it wasn't filler though.

I never said you did, what I said was that Super's filler unlike DB's is a a canonical part of the anime series story/universe.

For example Goku references his fight with Copy-Vegeta while Vegeta battles Black.

Well yeah. I ain't saying you're wrong, cause you're right lol.


So apparently from Herms Universes 1, 12, 5, and 8 all won't be competing due to the average quality of mortals in there (could mean that we're possibly getting some villains from those universes and new stories then).

Sorry. That's actually what I meant. That with all the women attracted to him, Goten would actively PURSUE them rather than stay oblivious to their feelings for him.

If Goku vs Bergamo is a tiebreaker, Gohan can't win here.

Like I said, a draw!

[Noah]

I don't get it... So Daishinkan said Zeno had previsiously ranked all universes, but how he did that, what was the method used? And Universes 5 and 8 being immune to the "erase rule" just because they're on the top of the rank is stupid, that rule should be for everyone, but as Doctor. said:

So, according to Herms,

Alright, so...Universe 1, 12, 5, and 8 are exempt from the Tournament of Power, because the average quality of mortals in them is so high...

The average "quality" of planets with mortals in each universe is rated. U9 is the worst with a score of 1.86, and U7 second worst with 3.18

Meanwhile, U1/12/5/8 all clock in at over 7. The Tournament of Power is really just an excuse to wipe out all the crappy universes.

Very interesting, if a bit disappointing. But at least this proves Super won't end here, the stronger universes will be there for future arcs.

Well, that's not so bad, I think

[Doctor.]

And Universes 5 and 8 being immune to the "erase rule"

They're not immune to being erased, they won't be competing in the tournament at all.

[Noah]

They're not immune to being erased, they won't be competing in the tournament at all.

So what the point of introducing their gods? Lame.
