If U9 sends assassins to attack and kill U7 team, then I can imagine Zeno would erase them without question. However, U4 is supposed to participate because a fighter named Damon would be in the TOP.

I don't know if this has been asked before but why have there not been any Dragon Ball Super movies?
In that Dragon Ball Z seemed to have four movies by the time of the Namek saga.

Agreed. Hopefully Dragon Ball Super will have a movie very soon rather than later, or possibly never!

There's always the but, though it usually means nothing.
I know, but... Kidding. I would have dropped all about U4 and Freeza leaving if it wasn't for Yamcha's actor's tweet. It won't happen, but I'll just keep a window open until it's really confirmed it won't.
In the synopsis that was posted two days ago about Episode 95, it was said that Freeza would murder these assassins mercilessly, and that Goku wanted to stop him but was too busy taking care of the emperor's rearguard, and in the synopsis posted today, WSJ does not say that. This "but" may be about it, as it is something that Goku tried to prevent but failed

That's not a movie, it's a 4D Universal Studios attraction.

Times have changed since One Piece Strong World. Thankfully we don't have the yearly movies anymore and we get event movies every so many years now.

Resurrection F only came out 2 years ago, maybe they aren't ready yet. After all there was a three and a half year difference between One Piece Film Z and Film Gold.

I'd hope we'd get another movie next year though. It might also be that because Toriyama is working on Super that he may be too busy.

So I was searching about the gods of destruction and apparently, champa is also a name for the flower Plumeria

Yeah a lot of Z movies were basically the length of 2 or so episodes, not hard too do. But a 90 min movie is different.

The reason we haven't got a movie is probably because they want to establish Super as the international roll out has only begun there is a lot of money to be made internationally as evidenced by BoG and "F".

No real reason to wait for that. Most of the bigger countries that are going to get it already have it. Subtitled at least.

But really, maybe they just want to focus their efforts on getting some things stable first. It was only recently that the animation started to truly improve and we still get hick ups here and there.

There's also the "SS Bargain Sale" controversy that i'm sure is going on in japan as well.

Maybe once we get things a bit more stable they'll consider a movie.

Of course, unlike before, we now have a dedicated stopping point. Once they get close to the "End of Z", that's pretty much it for super. They may start up a new series afterwards, but there's no guarantees of that and even more so, no guarantees of a movie if they do.

Now then. Guilty Gear Xrd. Rev 2 just updated it's story mode again, so I'm gonna go watch it.

Nobody involved with Super said that they are going to end it at the end of Z. Dragon Ball is making a shit ton of money and it's not stopping until it stops making money. If Super reaches end of Z and it's still making a money they aren't going to just end there, at most they end Super and the very next week a sequel series starts.

The second half is basically what I said, but no one said Super will end where Z did!? Seriously?

Why do I keep quoting unreliable sources? it makes me look bad!

Probably a B plot that will take place during the tournament.
Probably another Alien Invasion that only Yamcha is capable to be there and defend the Earth :D

This development could easily turn Universe 7 into a war-zone and provides numerous stories.
This theory has been said to death in this forum, I guess it could work... But, would we end in a universe with a bunch of Kaioshin and Hakaishin? Seems messy.

Call me pessimist, but they have already run out of good ideas, so I don't see why should they struggle to come up with a movie which by definition is a rehash(at least in the case of Dragon Ball franchise) of some arcs of the anime itself with slightly different characters. Being that they use fanfic ideas already, I think it's fine to stick with running the anime to be accetable at least.

I'm still convinced that the latest two arcs(Black and US) could have been done more efficiently after EoZ.
English is not my first language!
I'm still waiting for Dragon Ball in Super...

Saw in the merchandise thread that Quitela finally has merchandise, I hope its a sign that his team will be relevant in the ToP as much as U11 and U6.

I've never been to that thread......were is it? Please.

Edit: Never mind found it.

Your right....it looks like Quitela might be important...not team member stealing important but something note worthy enough to get his own figure this early.

Thank you, I had just found it but thanks for taking the time to tell me. :thumbup:

Also it looks like Quitela is going to be at least somewhat note worthy if he gets a figure this early....before every other GoD.
