"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[ArchedThunder]

The same reason they made Boo part of all the promotion before. To make fans talk about it and then come with the surprise.

Quitela can offer the same wish for the winner that is the prize of the tounament. Also, a chance to screw Goku again, that something Freeza will accept.

I'm pretty sure Freeza going to U4 will come to be, I have more doubts about Yamcha. We'll have to wait.

There's a big difference here, the Freeza art hasn't been officially released, it was found on the files of the official site. If Freeza is going to pretty much immediately jump to the U4 team that art probably wouldn't exist, especially since they still haven't released it and I wouldn't be surprised if they're waiting until they OP gets updated.

Whats the url of the pict? does it connect with U7's team?

Lets be honest with ourselves, Goku offered him a pretty crappy deal.

Eh it was a pretty ok deal, he gets revived what more can he ask for? universal domination?

Shenlong can't revive Frieza again, so has Goku actually done something very smart or did Toei forget that.

Which makes me wonder. Lets say Frieza does stay on their side, doesn't betray them and helps them win. It would be kind of a dick move if Goku tricks him and doesn't give him what he promised. Yeah, I know he is an evil alian overlord and they were strapped for time, but still.

If I remember correctly, yes. I don't have the link though.

making deals with Frieza is a bad idea in the first place. I would never offer him life, cause on the end of the day even if he helps in the tournament, he won't be a good guy (like Vegeta) and will just cause more trouble. And then, we can have the 3rd Frieza saga in the series, which no one wants. Goku should have offered him free life in Hell, so he doesn't need to be in that cocoon. If he rejected, just send Beerus to make the deal and if he refuses him, he gets Hakai'd.

Oh... thats great news then... the question now is... what was Yamcha's VA so busy about to the point of saying he was tired from all the Yamcha bits he did...

[ArchedThunder]

Oh... thats great news then... the question now is... what was Yamcha's VA so busy about to the point of saying he was tired from all the Yamcha bits he did...

Maybe he's doing Yamcha + a new character, or maybe he is important in some other way, like maybe he goes to the island where Goten and Trunks are or something.

I see, like a breather bit the same way Pilaf and his gang were doing back in Black arc. Makes sense.

[Basako]

...what was Yamcha's VA so busy about to the point of saying he was tired from all the Yamcha bits he did...

This doesn't confirm anything, but looks like something bigger than the usual is coming for Yamcha. Along with the other leaks, waiting for confirmation of those.

Also Toyotaro's drawing of him, he looked like he was going to fight again.

I'll only believe it when I see it, but there are definitely some signs in his favour.

It confirms he's done a lot of Yamcha bits and its details is well enough to be kept a secret, thats basically what he said, unless he's just playin us all.

There's bound to be at least one ongoing cut away plot during the tournament, we'll probably get plenty of cut aways to Goten and Trunks, but we might get stuff with Yamcha as well.

[Zamasu55]

Anyway, according to the leaks the Tournament will start on episode 97.
So they've got three episodes to show ALL the fighters. Do you think that's possible? I don't.

So far in 17 episodes they've only shown:

One fighter from U2.
Four fighters from U3 (Nigrisshi, Narirama plus the other two Nigrisshi was talking about).
Two fighters from U4 (Damon and Ganosu).
Two new fighters from U6 (Kale and Caulifla).
Three fighters from U9 (Basil, Lavenda and Bergamo).
One figher from U10 (Murichim).
Four fighters from U11 (Jiren, Toppo, Dyspo and Kahseral).

Only 17 new characters in 17 episodes.

[Ki Breaker]

For some reason I don't see a VA being pushed to the point of tiredness if it's about goten and trunks..
Come on guys, the tournament is about to start, they won't cut away to two cardboards fighting poachers in between, nobody wants to see that..
And Yamcha was teased as being sad he will get an invite not..

It's basically infront of us that he is coming to the tournament

[BlueBasilisk]

What I would love to see is Yamcha going to the island, getting separated from the others and going on some incredible madcap adventure that nobody else sees. When he tells them about it, they don't believe him.

They don't need to reveal all of the fighters before the tournament, they won't all be important.

Having nothing but action oriented episodes back to back for a long time wouldn't be great for the production, there is bound to be cut away plots just like there were in Z, especially since the pacing is more Z like right now.

They can reduce non stop action by other ways, I cannot possibly see how someone might think
"hey, see the badass jiren scene we built up about to come? Yeah, let's show em goten being a cardboard and Yamcha being sad he didn't get to go, that would surely make em happy!"

Give it some thought, they aren't going to risk breaking away from the tournament to an entirely different setup, it helps nobody..

Like they would never cut away from Goku's fight with Freeza on Namek to show the misadventures of Bulma? Oh wait.

And that would be such a long cutaway that the with so many lines that the voice actor is tired? Oh wait

Either way mate, the z Pacing, it's style it's way of story telling were all vastly different, If you don't wanna believe until the image is presented even if it's safe to assume, your call..

Well I dont think they are going to do it a lot but I do feel like we may get cut away scenes after commercial break or simply to start an episode.

I hope youre right though.

Or maybe his tweet that was accompanied with emojis wasn't entirely serious? He wasn't saying he was exhausted or anything, he was just saying he was sleepy.
The production likely won't be able to handle a massive block of episodes that are nothing but action, regardless of whether or not Yamcha is in the tournament there will definitely be cut away plots.
