Beerus vs Goku? That was quick. Hopefully it's better than BoG.

The story boards are from the next episode, but the other images don't seem to be. Beerus Vs. Goku on Kaio's planet isn't even till Episode 5, so I don't see the actual god show down till at least a few episodes later.

Maybe it's his prophecy.

But, wherever it takes place, it seems to be the same as Battle of Gods. The strike to Goku's back is the exact same, lightning and all.

I love continuity nods from the manga like that. It just make Super feel so much more like a natural extension of Toriyama's original work rather than a tacked on spin-off.

Only Goku isn't a SSJ3 there, and Beerus is punching Base Goku in the face.

In the movie, he went straight SSJ3.
"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

Now that I think about it that looks exactly what we saw in BoG in that little cave place that Goku losses SSJGod in.

I don't think those scenes are from the fight on King Kai's planet, but from their second fight. The image where Beerus elbows Goku in the back is just like the scene in BoGs where he elbowed Goku in the back when they took their fight to space. And the pic where Beerus punches Goku in the face is eerily similar to the one where Beerus elbows Goku in the face during their fight in the cave after Goku's SSJG form wore off.

I meant when they went into space. Goku struck at Beerus, missed, and Beerus struck his back, causing lightning to appear. It was the exact same position as that, and the sparks were the same too.

Hell, judging from the shit he pulled in the first episode, it seems like they're boosting his power.

I love how coincidentally Vegeta's reaction to disinterest spells out "fun". :mrgreen:

So straight up this show is a "what would have happened if Toriyama didn't get sick of writing and drawing that manga" deal. Like between the first episode of abrand new show having a previously on recap and now paying off random things in the previous story arc they may as well have just said that Dragon Ball Z is more or less picking up where it left off and not even gone the Dragon Ball Super route.

In the uncut dub, he's called Mr. Satan. Given they don't put DBZ or Kai on kid-friendly timeslots anymore, I think the only place we'll hear Hercule Poirot is in video games.

First, he was never called "Hercules". He was called Hercule.

Second, in Xenoverse, he's called Hercule in the dub. So it's possible he still could be called Hercule in Super, but not likely.
