Gohan magically having a son out of no where? I don't know gohan really doesn't look like a that type of dad. not only that the kid would have to be younger than pan.

I like the idea that I read here somewhere about Gods coudn't be revived by Dragon Balls. Since Goku and Vegeta are Gods now, this would add them to the list.
It could work as a "price" for getting such power.

Still have to think about Whis ability though. But this seems the right path.
Elder Kaioshin was revived.
Doesn't matter. We have gods that rule over gods, that rule over gods.
The gods on top like Beerus and Whis, Saiyan Gods like Goku and Vegeta and such, would belong to this list for being so OP.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I'm going to call the female Whis... Whisa. Pronounced like Lisa :) Whisa. It's adorable.

If they ever did give Pan a younger brother then I would not mind it if he is not a poor rehash of Saiyan saga Gohan.

long as Gohan doesn't become a Chi-Chi style dad I'm good. (kinda hoping Goha turns in to a FMA Maes Hughes kind of dad)

Haha, I'd love that.

I dunno about this 'younger brother for Pan or whoever' idea as opposed to just 'Pan or whoever'. I mean, I kind of get the commercial logic there of playing it safe for a young-boys target audience, but on the other hand, the fanbase didn't exactly rebel at 18 being one of the strongest around when she showed up, or all the screentime Videl got in the Great Saiyaman arc. I mean, obviously a protagonist-type role is somewhat different, but I don't imagine any new character taking the protagonist role for a while...Goku and Vegeta aren't going anywhere soon.

I mean, there's still the audience-identification-figure point to be made if Goten and Trunks are ever gonna grow up, but on the other hand...RF happened.

So, you want him to die and Pan crying while seeing him get buried?!

I want Goku to eat food from Beerus' planet. Given the awe that cat has experienced from eating human food, it leads me to believe the food on his planet is foul. It should result in the lulz.

Considering what a picky eater Beerus is, I'd imagine food from his home would taste great.

Interesting. I'm hoping they're training, and we're not getting a Majin Vegeta rehash in Super.

Re: chizzielamer

Thank you!

Re: UpFromTheSkies

The part I think's most interesting is "Hello tanktop!Vegeta outfit!" :mrgreen:
I've always liked that outfit more than his Cell arc armor, even though he's got the Cell arc outfit on in the splash image on the website.

The pics of Goku and Vegeta on the cover look like either copied or redrawn old art. I think I've seen them before, somewhere.

If they are doing the whole 12 universes thing then I kinda have a feeling that a universe where Goku and the other Z fighters are evil won't be that far off. Imagine a world where Freeza is a good guy :lol: .

Oh man. That picture is brilliant.

A good Frieza would probably be like good Dabura from the filler.

That is fucking amazing. :clap: :thumbup: :lol:

And if the first arc of Super is like the Flashpoint Paradox, where the events of history are significantly altered resulting in Fat Beerus and Female Whis, a good Freeza is definitely a possibility.

And that would explain more Nakao! :3

I feel like an evil!Gokû would just be a more ineffective and easily distracted version of Cell, but I wanna see him anyway. :lol:
Evil!Gokû would probably be right at home as a Dr. Slump antagonist.

I also want to see Princess!Vegeta after all the talking the boards did about her yesterday, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
