The lack of blood ruins pretty much all of these. Especially the Gohan scene. "Oh no! Gohan has little black spots on his body because he's secretly an action figure!"
I actually think that's the one that's least affected. Freeza's beams were clearly burning their insides and cauterizing the wounds. You can see Piccolo's burnt insides when he dies.
When I see cauterized wounds used as an excuse for lack of blood, since that's a common workaround for action shows aimed at younger audiences, I always mention how actual cauterized wounds still look pretty nasty. Little neat black holes still very much makes Gohan look like an action figure.

Toshio, scenarist of DBS, answered me and said he is writing another DBS episode!

Probably Post tournament Slice of Life stuff. I mean shouldn't the arc be scripted already? And they should be well into animating the tournament by now.

A new teaser with no new information, I guess...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9EV8xpjnUs

I can tell the importance of every character:

1)Very important: Goku, Vegeta and (Fit or Fat) Buu.
2) Medium: Android 18, Android 17, Gohan and Piccolo.
3) Not so important: Krillin, Tien and Roshi.

Do you agree?

It seems like a normal teaser showing cool moments of each character..

Doesn't speak much about importance

Or this arc is something much more and longer than just the tournament, like some us us including me speculated..

It is very cool indeed.
Sorry, I was just guessing based on the focus of each character. And that was not the point of posting the video. :D

Yeah but the funny fight comment is what made me think of SoL or at least some kind of down time after the ToP.

Based on this teaser alone I would agree.

The teaser just grouped the characters the same way they are in the ending. The ones that are alone doesn't mean they are more important, for example who would they group Buu with in the same image?

I disagree. Everything points to Gohan and and Android 17 being very important. Krillin will at least be medium too.

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.

This trailer means nothing probably, it might mean the chatacters who team up together but that is it. The best thing about this trailer is that it hypes up all the characters on team Universe 7.

A funny fight could be about Roshi in the tournament.

Maybe they showed us who the fighters are gonna team up with?

- 17 with 18.
- Gohan with Piccolo.
- Good Buu will fight alone.
- Vegeta too.
- Krillin with Roshi and Tienshinhan.
- Goku will fight alone.

No idea what the text in the video says, but google translate makes it sound like this is part of a countdown to Goku Day (May 9th).
I wonder what they might be doing for that date.

I like how Gohan only had footage of his fight in Z, as he's done nothing noteworthy in Super yet with the screen time he's had XD. Everyone else had updated footage cept the Cyborgs and Boo I believe, but they didn't get as much screen time.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Maybe a movie announcement for 2018? We are due one.

Why fans keep bringing this up? Do they seriously want to increase Super's production problems?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.
