Buuut, I do see it running AT LEAST for another year. 100-150 episodes in total or so. This could fit around 3-4ish arcs.
I'd also say that we're far away the end. Expanding the world to the 12 universes wasn't made for nothing, in fact they can now create way more stories without getting in the way of the Earth's peace.
And I also believe they will actually go to Universe 6 - Cabbas home planet will be introduced at some point. Maybe a conflict in Universe 6..
Of course there's also the big tournament, but nobody said that there'll be the end.

That's also why they haven't especially mentioned at what point in time Super starts (6 months after Buus defeat, memories about Buu were removed, and than "some time has passed"), in order to give Super some time within the 10 year time skip. Nice idea, I'm just a bit concerned about Pans age^^

Anyway, Super will pass GT soon in terms of episodes and there's way more to come. I wouldn't expect the show to stop in the near future.

^Wow totally keep forgetting it's about to surpass GT. It's crazy GT felt like it was going in forever while Super feels like it's just getting starting. (Probably since I've blocked the retellings out!)

Yeah if we remove the retellings then there would only be 33 episodes in total. If we only include the the stories Toriyama made an outline for (removing Potaufeu arc) then it goes down 28 currently (32 according to episode titles) and it could go down even further if padding was removed (my guess is like 4 episodes at most would be removed), That's not that many new Toriyama episodes if I say so myself but I guess that's less daunting when you want someone to watch the series and go through it as fast as possible and of course supplementing it with the BoG and RoF movie.
Why I use "Geran" instead of "Jiren"

Guess what don't watch it then. Seriously you ARE NOT OBLIGED to watch the show.

But yeah let's be selfish and since I don't like please let it end. Absolutely hate this attitude.
I will watch it though because it's Dragon Ball, and I love the series. I'm just upset with how things have went, and how characters are portrayed. I just don't want more damage to come to the Dragon Ball Franchise. Look at how many nasty memes have been created since Supers debut.
Only a few moments in the series have shined for me, but the rest is just totally mediocre. I'm sure everything would be different if it was aired straight after the Buu saga.

There's no damage though, a couple of meme's show up so what? Hasn't stopped the show being a success in Japan likely won't when it becomes localised in English. Nor has it stopped other Dragon Ball products selling.

The franchise has never been in a healthy spot since Z ended. The U.S are getting toys again, tells you all you need to know.

Not to mention Dragon Ball memes have been happening for years now well before Super debuted.

Why would you blocked the retellings when there were other information given in those episodes, like what were Goku and Vegeta doing before Beerus showed up. How Vegeta and Goku became Whis' students and the down time with everyone. I mean, that is like cutting all the episodes after the tournament ended and only start counting again when 47 aired. And if you're going to be that picky, why not cut out the entire Trunks meeting Gohan, filler right.

To me, what is the point of watching a show if you're going to just skip character development. You can do what some people do and just watch highlights on Youtube.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

If they really want to watch it all then do it, it's not my problem it's theirs and theirs alone because I already watched all episodes of DBS out so far. If that's a problem then just watch those episode and give them the order to watch it, it's as easy as that. It's also not like the DBS manga almost completely does all the things you dislike (like Champa arc ending with them going back to Earth but the very next chapter is Future Trunks) but look at it the manga consistently gets more praise then the anime.

Also my original comment was making a point on how much new episodes are made from Toriyama's outlines for DBS, anything else is extra.

I have only seen the manga consistently praised here and on parts of Reddit. Everywhere else, most don't even read the manga, especially after the anime surpassed it. Others who do just sees it as a supplement of the anime or the abridged version.

And an outline is by definition barebones.

There's no way it's going to end, they're making too much money from it.

Again, the manga still gets little hate just because people don't read something doesn't mean it's bad, The only time thought it got really rushed was after winning the tournament.

You're right the outline is barebones but it doesn't really negate what I said.

Most I have seen outside this forum think the manga is rush in general and the stuff with Trunks was unneeded padding.

It only really rushed in the first 2 arc and the very end of U6.

Also how're they going to complain about padding if the anime is worse with padding? The anime got entire 5 episode padding arc and a bunch of padding in its own Trunks arc.

People called it rush for awhile.

Also, I don't consider moments for character interaction and moments as 'filler' since I enjoy character development. And the manga only updates monthly so it spending so much time with Buu which doesn't amount to much other than show how awesome Trunks is (when in truth Dabura looks more badass) stands out.

Filler is filler. Good or enjoyable filler doesn't make it non-filler. I like the Commeson Arc quite a lot, but that doesn't make it not filler.

But this is seriously getting off-topic. I think the question's been answered.
