I think those are just generic music used to announce the singles, not the songs itselves.

It just happened recently with One Piece, there was a video exactly like that announcing the single, people thought the tune was the new opening, but it wasn't. If you go through other videos from that channel, you'll probably hear the same music in different videos.
That's what I was thinking. I've seen the same thing happen with Naruto, too.

well...none of the Z fighters besides Vegeta or Goku would be a threat. if Krillian, Yamcha, heck even Piccolo or Gohan become evil they'll just get stomped by Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. They could throw a souped-up movie villain to be a threat for the first arc in the show. (ex: Tullece, Slug, whatever the villain's name was in Fusion reborn, Bojack, etc.) that'd be better than a silly Z Warrior turning evil. If I could choose though... i'd picked neither choice i made.

I feared as much. I checked some of their other older videos and they don't match with said song.

Very likely! The song titles, 超絶☆ダイナミック! and ハローハローハロー are written on the official website, but after searching it seems they might not be out for listening yet.

Note those two artists are the same who did the OP and ED for Buu Kai respectively. :D

I find it odd that this is before ROF? If this fat Beerus clone from another world is a major threat then why ROF would ignore it. I know ROF was written first, but I'm looking at things in a universe stand point of view. Not to mention they won't use stronger then Freeza as their marketing gimmick if it's before ROF. They would have used Cell instead since Freeza hasn't been wish back yet and become stronger again. Not to mention that this possible Fat Beerus as our main villain seems really lame. I wanted some more creative from Toriyama :(.

Its possible that the 2nd arc may consist of post RF. I doubt this will only last as a 1arc 12-24eps.

Interesting! so it seems this takes place post BoG, but pre "F". "Fat Beerus" as people are calling him, I think will be a God of Destruction from a different universe.

Oh, man. It's really hard not to feel disappointed right now. Pre "F"? It's like they made the series just so they can have an on-going Dragon Ball series on the air, but with no intention of actually advancing the story.

My only real disappointment is the AGE setting right now, and only because these aren't the outfits I wanted (at least for Goku and Vegeta). I don't mind Goten & Trunks being kids. I actually like Fat!Beerus & Girl!Whis, and I don't overly care whether they are alternate characters of Universe 7 or one of the other 11 that exist (though the latter may be more interesting). But those outfits on Goku and Vegeta? Meh. I rather have the ones from F (or End of Z for Goku).

I won't give your hopes up. I think Super could be only 24-26 episodes long like most anime series are these days. I doubt we will get three or four sagas like we did in the past.

Why are people saying this is pre F? I can't see anything that states it, but if it is pre F I will be a bit baffled. Oh and this fat Beerus looks interesting.. I'mma call him Boorus for now. :P DB still seems to maintain its goofiness at least. :)

We shall see. I dont really mind if we only get 12-24 eps so its cool, I just dont feel like it will be that short.

I recall pretty clearly a lot of people on this forum demanding more of an explanation as to why Whiis was training Goku and Vegeta, and it seems with Super, we may just get that - but yet again, there are needless waves of negativity.

I just hope it won't take us until the final episode to beat our main villain. I say take at least 4-6 episodes is good enough to have him/her around and then kill him/her off.

Because of everyone's getup. Bulma with her BoG appearance/ Krillin with a full set of hair and his green gi/ Gohan with his BoG hair, Vegeta and Goku not using their RF Gi.

The Battle of Gods outfits particularly on Krillin, Satan, Videl, etc are making people feel this way. As well as Goku and Vegeta not wearing their new clothes in this poster. However that could change, and it's not concrete proof everything is before F, but it's possibly hint that we're gonna have things be Pre F.

Honestly that's even worse for me than Pre-EOZ. But at least if it is Pre-F, we can get an actual introduction to SSGSS which FNF lacked. I'd at least like that.

Yeah I just noticed that, and it did worry me. I really hope it's not, I'd be surprised if this fat Beerus isn't as powerful as our Beerus, and if they are indeed equals Freeza really wasn't a threat at all. Not to mention Beerus was sleeping before F, it should be post F thinking about that.

I'm really not a fan of this being pre F, and instead of just setting this series pre F to show things we missed I'd much rather have flashbacks here and there.

Anyway... My new theory is that a "Whis" is born whenever a universe is born. They're one of a kind in their own universes.

Oh, I really hope it is, because FnF won't be spoiled to me that way :D
