How long do you expect Dragon Ball Super to run?

[Xeztin]

As far as those saying it might hault out of respect for Toriyama's eventual depart from this world, I believe it'll go on for years after his passing with Toyotaro, new artists, and the Dragon Ball Room or whoever is over creative to show eternal respect. I don't think Toriyama would want Dragon Ball to go with him if he thought it could give kids enjoyment even after his life ends. I think a lot of mangaka would want their work immortalized forever this way.

[sintzu]

I don't know how you can declare someone uninteresting before he even shows up.

His design is kind of boring but then again, I was completely against Zeno and now he's one of my favorites so hopefully I'll end up liking him as well.

[Trickster]

There are almost always good stories to tell, but sometimes it's best to end things and end them well.

I think this thime has already come to Dragon Ball. In 1995.

Agreed, although I like GT's ending better.

The work is already immortalized. That doesn't require going on forever.

[Trickster]

Agreed, although I like GT's ending better.

My favorite ending is Cell Saga's. I think Goku's sacrifice represents a lot the benevolence of the character and his sense of altruism, and I like how the saga concludes Gohan's arc. I don't sympathize at all with Toriyama's new declarations, about Goku never been a hero, also.

[ABED]

Gohan's "arc" could've been done better.

[sintzu]

Gohan's "arc" could've been done better.

I would've given him more to do in that arc instead of just having him beat the main villain out of nowhere.

[ABED]

Sure, but I was also tired of "Gohan's got unlocked potential" for the nth time.

Until Lord-Toribot decides that the end shall come. Tori-Bot continues to watch the Dragonball World, interested in the adventures of the Z-Fighters. Should anything happen to His creations(Arale included!) he will take out the Eraser...

In other words, Super will end when Goku gets old and dies!

FR though, I HIGHLY doubt this is the last arc. I'm a bit dissapointed with how the Supreme Kai said there were only TWENTY(ish) planets, which heavily limits the amount of adventure and exploration the world has to offer. If they decide to keep the level of planets low in the other four universes then I don't foresee the series lasting very long. There's nothing to explore, NOWHERE to venture.

Once everything has been seen, it's over. So tbh, i'm a bit scared of what the other universes may have. A little or a lot?

[ABED]

Sure, if you spend an episode on each planet then you'll blow throw really fast, but the Freeza arc took place primarily on one planet.

-Toriyama dies. I don't think they'd stop if he simply retired, but I would consider it somewhat disrespectful for them to continue at that point, and I'd bet most feel the same way.
-A significant portion of the voice cast dies. How many is significant is subjective, but if we're being realistic, the only ones who couldn't be replaced at this point are Horikawa and Nozawa. Once both of them die, it's probably over.[/list]

They're still making anime and movies of Osamu Tezuka-sensei's manga even though he's been dead since the late 80's.

Toei has plenty more cows.

Yeah, actually that is true. And plus, Tezuka-sensei was never affiliated with Toei.

He ditches his family for 7 years, throws his inexperienced son to fight a monster and left the Earth in his hands, ignoring that Gohan would have given up without him coaching him.




Goku is a straight asshole in that arc.

Not to mention he knocked his wife up too! His heroic sacrifice turned out to be a selfish one in the end.

I don't think people really understand how Goku's character changes from Ball to Z, the man is far more reckless and selfish in the latter.

[BlackCatScott]

I'm not expecting it to end anytime soon. At this point I could even see Super running for longer than Z's 291 total. It sounds crazy but I think there's a good chance it will happen. Why would they stop?

[ABED]

He didn't throw Gohan to Cell. Gohan was the ONLY one who could defeat Cell. That fact is clear and I have zero idea why anyone who uses your argument ignores that fact.

Goku didn't change from DB to DBZ. It would appear that he's more reckless because the size of the threats increases, but Goku's MO and raison d'etre never fundamentally changed.

Even if that is the case, the point is Goku selfishly gave Cell the Senzu because that's how Goku would prefer it himself but this wasn't his fight it was his sons, had he not done that then his son would have an advantage but as it was Goku stripped that away from him adding more pressure, people throw the argument that if Goku hadn't done that then Cell might not have pushed Gohan to SS2 but I counter that with had Goku not given Cell the Senzu then Gohan may have already defeated him without the need to reach SS2.

[ABED]

There's no "even if that's the case" It IS the case. Gohan is the only one who can stop Cell. That's spelled out with flashing neon letters.

I counter that with had Goku not given Cell the Senzu then Gohan may have already defeated him without the need to reach SS2.

That point is arguable.
