Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

I didn't see the copy arc and don't plan to anytime soon.
Nope, I jokily meant the whole 46 episodes
But myself, I've started to like Super since the Trunks arc, sadly. Tournament was kinda interesting for me, but I think it needed more from the design department and choreography.
FighterZ, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat: Funky_Strudel PS5: Dynamixx88
Trust me, I'm millenial and a designer.

I'd say it's worth it. It's three episodes of great animation IIRC (and from what I've heard). I'm considering rewatching it myself.
Yeah I recently rewatched it after half heartidly watching the streams. It's actually pretty good ya know. Funny. Some cool villain designs and a decentish fights.

The final episode of that mini-arc was just a slog to get through, and Goten and Trunks didn't do much of any significance. Jaco was also wasted, too.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

I agree it would have been perfect if Vegeta and Goku didn't show up at all the mini arc started off well. Jaco was actually one of the things I liked about this mini arc.
I honestly wouldn't mind if we got mini arcs like this between the main arcs but focusing on the lesser characters not just Goku and Vegeta all the time.
