"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[TheMathemagician]

He is practically the second main character of this arc. He has legit been far more relevant and involved than Vegeta has and every body else besides Goku, Shin, Beerus and Whis.

And along with Goku he has been given the role of finding members and has position as strategist of the team.

Right Gohan is getting so much more to do then anyone expected or hoped, I like it as the Goku/Gohan dynamic has largely been missing in this series and these episodes so far with them have been refreshing. I also miss Goku and Krillin's relationship the mini arc they recently had was great and I can't wait for more!

Yup. These are the two relationships I missed the most. Goku and Vegeta are great but it's getting so stale because of over exposure. I also miss Goku and Roshi and Goku and Tien.

This is honestly the best part of the saga for me so far. Goku/Gohan heavy interactions between them in a saga where they are both relevant in the saga. Glad we're getting this.

[Kagari]

Vegeta planning out the team would probably be as boring as it was during the U6 arc. The Goku/Gohan dynamic is more interesting and makes sense given the current situation. Both also have a bigger connection to the other Z Fighters.

[Beyond]

Part of me wants the next arc to be Gohan vs Vegeta fighting for the main character slot. Tien vs Krillin is played out we need a new fandom rivalry. Of course they need to power Gohan back up first, but that'll be ez pz. It would probably devolve into something awful after the first few days, and everyone would come out worse for it, so nvm.

[kinisking]

Nah, it'd be boring if it was just Gohan and Goku. I really want a minimum of 4 main fighters going forward.

I would say 5:

Goku, Vegeta,Gohan,Krillin and 17, they willl be the main core for the Tournament of Power.

Gohan and Krillin have gotten the most amount of screen time among the side characters and 17 is being heavily promoted in DBH/Dokkan.

For this tournament, I agree. Next arc I want it to Goku ,Vegeta, Gohan and someone else (preferably hit but I doubt it ). I wouldn't mind 5 main characters either.

[Totamo]

I'm so dissatisfied with the way things are going in Super in regards to Vegeta and Gokû that my patience for everything else in the story is incredibly low.

Like, I didn't feel a damn thing about this past weekend's episode even though it's supposed to be all "aww, baby". I used to be interested about Bra before Super began and now I just don't. It's like I just don't care about this arc and that's worse than feeling negative about it imo. I want an actual antagonist. I want Vegeta rescued from this vanilla domestic endgame. I don't care about Jiren or not!Brolli.

I want at least one positive thing to look forward to in this show again! Give me a reason to continue watching the day it comes out! I'm barely posting in the episode threads anymore because I feel so disappointed in where this show's going. I can put up with a lot as long as I'm getting the bare minimum of stuff to look forward to, but I don't even have that anymore!

If I hadn't enjoyed earlier portions of this series so much I'd have dropped it episodes ago and probably should drop it now since I'm clearly one of the few people not having fun anymore but I stupidly hold out hope that it'll get better.

I recommend you drop then watch the whole arc in a row because this is just a tournament.

Personally, I don't ever want super to be serious again.The writers can't handle it. I have never seen the fandom more hostile than I did during that arc. It can be heavily argued that the U6 arc was better than the future trunks one.

Modern dragon Ball is a cashgrab and I rather they be honest about it instead of trying to pretend like it's more like it did with that arc.

Just make it a fun show to watch, I'm tired of all of these debates when the show tries to be more than that. I am angry about the stupid fan theories and the angry reactions when they don't come true when the show tries to be more than that.

Super brings out the worst in the fandom when it tries to be serious. Never again. But that's just my opinion.

As Totamo mentioned I would also recommend you to drop the show, try to watch something else like Samurai Jack, thats the kind of show you would want Super to be like. Shingeki no Kyojin, Boku No Hero Academia will also be available starting next week.

Will you still be saying the same thing if Piccolo, Tien and Roshi get an episode each?

The characters getting hyped are the ones who need to be hyped. 17 can't just turn up and fight with nothing happening before. This is also the case for Gohan and Krillin as they stopped fighting.

Also, on these forums recently, it is almost like Piccolo and Buu don't exist in this arc.

If they got the same treatment as the others, then people would have high expectations for them too.

TBH, I seriously doubt they will get an episode each, maybe for Piccolo to help Gohan regain Mystic form and thats it(like the Opening implies).

Episode 86 will be centered on him, we will get to know what has happened to him and why he hasnt never bothered in visiting 18 etc etc, I'm curious what kind of powerup he will get.

Buu already got his win in this arc, now he will be used as tool hype, I could see him being the first one eliminated in Team U7. At least fans are expecting Piccolo to take down fighters that are Roshi level in the ToP before he loses to a competent one.

As of Episode 83 they have had no need to be in the arc. Everyone should wait until just before the tournament they decide who has the potential to be good.

Piccolo is probably the most competent fighter in the whole team.

I think Gohan and Krillin will have huge problems as I feel after 1 close fight they will not be able to continue as they will lack stamina and will most likely take a lot of damage during this fight.

[King Jacku]

I'm pretty sure Piccolo will get his moment to shine in the tournament. I have no doubt in my mind that Piccolo and Gohan will be constantly backing each other up (more so than the rest of the group), they won't be easy to take down IMO. I'd also like to think that their teamwork is nothing less than superb.

IDK what to say about This post,it really looks like DBS is testing your patience,I recommend you drop it or stop watching it until the actual tournament starts, because honestly I'm not expecting much from a tournament,the Last one disappointed me because how meh it was,it was a Vegeta pandering tournament,and the zamasu arc,had interesting concept and good villain, but at a cost of a bad ending a rushed finale,boring padding and too much deux ex machina.

Don't expect an actual villain from this saga and don't expect Vegeta getting out of his vanilla family man character but who knows toei might suprise us, because I'm watching this beginning to the end, despite being disappointed with episode 83,so you choose be patient, wait until the battle Royale start or just completely drop it, just to stop testing your patience

[Chuquita]

Since King Ryû is writing next week's, I'm going to try to hold on. I'd been anxious for their return for a while. I'll try and be patient.

I don't expect a villain, I just hope if there is an arc after this one that we'll get one then.

I really think if Vegeta doesn't come back this arc that he's done. And that just leaves me saddened. At least I've still got TFS!Vegeta.

[Alee9977]

Although I like the series, people should watch an arc when it is over, lot of theories appears in the middle. People don't get instant explanations about things and they want things to happen as they want and when they realise that isn't happening they get angry.
These things happened before and nobody seems to learn, It happened in U6 tournament, It happened with Black and SSJ Rose, with FemBroli and now with the battle royale itself, they are getting angry just because Tenshinhan wasn't mentioned yet, because of the rules, because only 8 universes are participating, they are getting crazy because next episode is supposed to be a Krillin episode and they saw Goku going SSJ Blue...
People should relax, really, just accept what is happening and stop trying to guess what and how things are going to happen, because in the end, things won't be that way.

What do you mean come back? He's just been pushed into the backseat as far as Goku's rivals go for the time being what with Hit being a prominent threat to Goku atm. He'll most likely be put in the backseat further with Jiren here too. Though after this saga, he's likely to come back in full force. I myself like the Goku-Vegeta interactions, but I don't really mind taking a break from it as I do enjoy seeing Goku interact with other people just as much.

Back into the story I mean. Vegeta feels very side-character right now; like I'm not even sure how much he'll be utilized in this tournament.

If I had some definitive proof that Vegeta being backseated is temporary and not permanent I'd probably feel a lot better about things regarding this arc; but at this point I have no way to prove either or. It's one of those I won't know until the arc is over whenever that'll be.

[ArchedThunder]

Where on Earth are people getting the idea that they're done with Vegeta? Seriously, the dude takes some time off because his wife is pregnant and people think it's the end of the world.

I think the entirety of super is proof enough that they wouldn't sideline him forever. He has almost the same power as Goku and He has been in the center of most events in every single arc the exception being this one exhibition match.

Granted I don't know the future of the arc either and I could be dead wrong, but I'm unsure why him not being in the center of a few episodes means he is being back seated. It just seems like an awfully big jump to make.
