Even though this isn't EOZ, Goten could just get a new haircut.
Gohan changed his haircut all the time (and still changes now), but Goten keeps being Goku until the end, which is disappointing.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Not much of a fan of Gohan, but the return of the classic Z team of him, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Kuririn would've been cool.

Add Tien and semi-regular contributions of Bulma and I would be in heaven.

Just read an english translated version of the first chapter of Dragon Ball Super.

"Oooh, speak of the devil... if it isn't Mr Satan."

Well played. :clap:

Also, this:

Goku: "How many zeroes are there in one hundred million zeni?"

Mr Satan: "Huh? Zeroes? Er... lets see... eight."

Goku: "Eight zeroes!!! I could never count all that!!! Yeah, I definitely don't need that scary load of cash!!!"

Oh, Goku. Never change. :lol:

^Just read that version. From the three that I read, that one is by far the best,
Those guys are great, when they aren't dropping F bombs everywhere like they di with ROF chapter 2.

They missed the 'Soup Yasai Jinkot' thing, though. Beerus remembering the Super Saiyan God from 'Vegetable Vincotto Soup' doesn't exactly make sense.

Couple of spelling errors, too. Pretty inexcusable for a chapter so short.

Herms pointed out to me on Twitter that '"One of our ancestor's planets has disappeared" should be "Ancestor, a planet has disappeared".

Oh well, that's speedy scanlations for you. At least everything else was fine.

1st chapter was very promising. Not expecting Super to reach DBZ's peak, but i do think its gonna be epic as hell.

So does Bog and FnF become non-canon?

No new ad at the end of Kai, I'm guessing?

Nope, exactly the same as last week, sadly.

Unfortunate. :(

Can't say it's not going to be an interesting journey following Super, at least.

They halved the Kai NEP, though I assume next week's NEP will be the full 30 second Super one.

Perhaps the episode itself jumps. Perhaps that scene with Beerus and Whis, in the episode itself, takes place after the scene with Goku on the farm. We can't make judgement calls just yet on this manga.

Plot twist: BoG and RoF were one of the alternate universes all along :mrgreen:

Looks like Chioka Kimitoshi was one of two storyboard artists for World Trigger Episode #35, not the sole storyboard artist. This leads me to think Episode Director Kawasaki Yoshiki merely had Chioka storyboard the A-Part of the episode, which would usually mean half of the time was necessary for Chioka. Hopefully this means Chioka was able to spend more time on Dragon Ball Super.

Tomita Yoshikazu and Ikai Kazuyuki provided key animation. The episode had four animation supervisors, which either means it was an important episode or a very rushed episode.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

It's all very vague and confusing and I don't know why they couldn't have just started either post F or post EoZ.

It's easier on the narrative to simply retell these things. This also makes it easier for staff to have wiggle room in their creativity.
