Yeah this is getting too fanfic-y. But we have already discussed everything we can discuss for now.

And when my mother finds me investing my precious time trying to bond with this hot anime girl, I'll look straight into her eyes and say "but have you looked at the menu screen? have you actually seen the menu screen? In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".

I don't think it does if Super is doing well then TOEI are just going to continue no matter what.

:lol:

For maximum lols, Princess Vegeta decides to "hang out" with Regular Goku to make a point that she totally isn't into Bad Goku. And Vegeta looses his shit.

Chuquita, isn't there a part in Movie 7 when Vegeta appears saying "Kakarotto is mine!" with the grammar form of a jealous boyfriend? Yeah, something like that.

ohgod I'm dying of laughter.

I won't want Toei to do Dragon Ball on their own without Toriyama. They rarely do it right in my opinion without him. GT and most of the older 13 DBZ films would have been better if he had more input into the story. I don't want boring and generic villains again like we did with Yi Xing Long, Super 17, Bojack, Lord Slug and the other creations from Toei. People love Beerus so much since he has a good amount of personality to him and he would have never had any level of personality to him if it wasn't for Toriyama rewriting the script for BOG.

Basaku wrote:One Piece gets movies every year, so did DBZ (it was actually getting 2 movies per year in best period). If a show is succesful, making them seems to Toei like just part of the running machine. I'm just trying to think whether they want 3 movies + 52 episodes for Gods arc or 3 movies + 100 episodes. I honestly hope it's the former. 52 episodes is good Kai pacing, 100+ episodes will 100% be as filler-infested and dragged-out as original DBZ arcs.
Why do you keep talking like there's a trilogy happening? There's nothing suggesting it, let alone being a fact.

I wouldn't want Super to continue with Toriyama as well, but money talks, and if Super brings in a lot of cash, when/if Toriyama leaves the staff of the show, they'll just hire another writer within Toei and just continue without him.

-About the poster-

Wow just wow.
I thought about the possibility of 12 Gods of Destruction being just 12 Beerus recolors or 12 different cats as GT Evil Dragons. But a fat Beerus with the same color scheme??!...nah I didn't thought that far about such laziness. Female Whis is meh too, but not as bad since in ROF Whis just said he's A Whis. Since then, I've been thinking he may belong to a race and theres more like him out there.

Still, I'm disappoited about both. I wanted original character designs, not copyxpaste from what we already have. Its already enough copyxpaste Buu arc Goten, Trunks and Marron in all the new stuff. Will the other Gods turn out to be a small purple Beerus?! A giant purple Beerus?! Suddenly comparing to this, just change the color scheme doesn't sound so bad. Pathetic! Seems like this is an aternate universe yeah, but damn, this isn't the new characters i was hoping for. At least, its confirmed we will go the gods route.

About the timeline, seems like this takes place before ROF...Forget about after EOZ, this doenst even take place after ROF?! wtf?! Maybe Super will be the bridge that connects the movies we will be getting. But eh?!

Well, as far bad things go Fat Beerus and Whis Waifu > Golden Freeza. And at least, the new characters aren't minions like Sorbet and Tagoma turn out to be. We finally got another female, even though its just another Whis... Seems like it still isn't the time for us to get Purple Cell, now I wonder if Goku will get a green form?!

Right now when it comes to character designs, laziness is law. Can I at least ask for Fat Beerus and Whis waifu have great peronalities like their counterparts?! Thank you.
I wonder if we will see counterparts of the Z team too.

On a side note. Gotta love this part of the fanbase. Art about the new stuff is already out there. I love to see these things.

By the way, that new Goku art by Toyotaro is beautiful. Love it.

Meanwhile Gokû only gets more confused because no one will explain to him what's going on. X3
And also meanwhile I'm drawing Princess Vegeta because of course I have to now (post to come).

He does totally use that grammar. XD

I was thinking, if we have alternate versions of beerus and whis, so why not alternative versions of Goku, of a dimension where he never became ssjgod. this would explain why we have a gohan with different hair.

The more "traditional" 13-26 episode animes don't get shoved into the timeslot Super has been given, which is meant for long running series. You're probably looking at at least 52 episodes minimum; enough for them to judge how the series is doing about half way through and then come up with a replacement if it's just doing terrible.

Yeah, I mean if Kai did sort of OK on the tv rankings considering it was only a remake with little to no changes Super is bound to do better.

So when can we expect maybe some bio translations? The website has character bios. I'm sure it'll be a while though so no rush.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

They are apparently the exact same bios used for Battle of Gods. So there is nothing to translate.

I wouldn't mind a GT crossover. xD
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Sorry, but I've gotta say that a fat Beerus, although not massively original, is more creative than a yellow, blue, orange or whatever colour normal looking Beerus. Toriyama actually had to change the design on this one a bit at least.

I can agree, the designs are very lazy. I really want to know why are the new characters so similar to Beerus and Whis. Maybe they are relatives, and they shared the twelve universes to rule over/maintain the balance via destruction? I can imagine Beerus to have a sibling with comparable powers and Whis having a sister who is also gentle and serves the Hakaishin, but still, I'd like to believe that the story is more than these changes in design.

Well Gohan is beginning to resemble his GT self!

I'm a bit surprised at this preceding FnF. I mean, I'm not sure how that would even play out.
