"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

[Chuquita]

So apparently a calendar for next year is coming of DB Super

Spoiler:

Would be nice if someone could get it and see inside. Maybe some new characters might be shown.

Thats a great cover!

I'm hoping some interior scans appear. I'm considering buying one (I really like the character outfits in F), but I want to know what's inside it first. ^^;

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Maybe the manga is supposed to show the events of BoG/FnF quickly, while at the same time showing new stuff related to the U6 arc that won't appear in the anime?

For one, I wasn't railing on anyone, and then, I merely postulated two different likely scenarios before in multiple occasions, expressly pointing out that one of them (Champa being the Hakaishin for the 6th Universe) was much more likely than the other one. Whenever I posted on the matter I ALWAYS made it pretty clear that the far most likely scenario was that Champa was just the Hakaishin for the 6th Universe just like Beerus is the Hakaishin for the 7th. One scenario being 90% likely doesn't mean the other 10% need to be totally discarded, they're just unlikely, but still academically possible. However, SOME scenarios a few fans came up with are just too far-fetched and had absolutely no basis to them other than having been completely made up by the ones who wrote about it.

I honestly have no idea if the way I write or post comes across as arrogant or something, but there definitely seems to be a problem with my way of addressing others, because I'm accused of double-standards and over-criticizing others almost on a daily basis.

Sorry; it's just you made one post saying "Was it really that difficult to get to the conclusion that Champa was most likely going to be the Hakaishin for the 6th Universe?" and "How difficult could it be to postulate the scenario of Champa being the Hakaishin for the 6th Universe?" So I got the implication that you were saying that that had to be what it was, and that anyone thinking otherwise was being stupid and not making the obvious connection. Then you went on to say "I've said it wasn't the only possible option myself several times too."

Which seemed a bit contradictory to me, was all. Certainly not accusing you of arrogance or anything; if I had to characterise your posts it'd be "thorough".

There's a little blurb about Super on the bottom right-hand corner.

Hmm, apparently the Super manga is super-popular. Or so they say.

Appreciates this. X3

The Super manga did get me to buy the previous two VJump volumes as they came out. I'm probably going to buy this one too. Probably, not 100% sure yet.

Is that supposed to be like a pun or something

[JulieYBM]

The comic version sounds like a ton of fun, I wish the animated series was adding these scenes. I'm guessing Toyo-tarou is being allowed to introduce elements from the Universe Six arc earlier than the cartoon to help give it a reason to read or something...

[Pannaliciour]

There are some different things happening between the manga and anime. But the outcome HAS to be the same. For example: Beerus defeat goku very easy in BOG, manga and anime, but on each different way.

You can't have a (abillity) ssj3 vegeta in the anime and complety ignore it in BOG and the manga. So no ssj 3 for vegeta.

Goku on the otherhand can fight beerus on (only) a ssj 2 level in the manga but also fights him at a ssj 3 level in the anime, because we all know (DBZ) goku has the abillity to go ssj3. Its like the truck he catches when goten was driving in it (in the anime he catches the truck in base and IT while in the manga it was ssj and no IT)

You can if the overall story will be the same moving foreword.

No problem, man. That's one thing about being obsessive about putting your ideas forth in the most in-depth, well-written, detailed possible way, it can sometimes generate thoughts that look contradictory, besides the sheer fact that two thirds of the posts end up being "huge", at least for most people's standards. I can't and won't change the way I write, though, nor the detail to which I go when expressing my thoughts on a particular subject. I think it's better to make extremely long and detailed posts which address all ramifications of a subject than simply putting forth one-line or one-sentence posts, or simply asking questions (most of which having been addressed before).

[FutureGohanSSJ2]

Dunno why people are not in support of Vegeta turning Super Saiyan 3. It's literally the ONLY WAY that scene will make any sense. We just saw SSJ3 Goku get curbstomped, and not even able to touch Beerus. And yet Vegeta is able to make his Super Saiyan 2 form have an incredible leap in power, literally over 4 times his strength, and actually make Beerus budge? He literally SKIPS a Super Saiyan form itself and gets stronger than jt in a previous form? No. I'm sorry, no. It just doesn't work that way.

So I dunno people are like, "That would be a dumb idea.", because it's the only idea that would save that scene from being a total trainwreck.

So, in the manga thread, it was announced that a Blu-ray box was being released. With a link to amazon japan. I looked at the Blu-ray boxes, and it appears there's a amazon japan exclusive? I think? Here are the two links. Not sure what the differences are.

Covered this in the recent update. Amazon Japan usually throws in a bonus bit of packaging and such. Their Battle of Gods edition, for example, had a steelbook. Right now they haven't announced what their editions will contain.

Oops. Sorry about that. Didn't see it on the home page. My bad.

[Hellspawn28]

I don't see any point on importing the blu-ray release of Super from Japan if Funimation will likely announce it soon. I doubt Super is going to take too long to come out in the US.

[Basaku]

Almost certain Champa won't appear in the anime until U6 arc or ending of BoG

That would be like in January. He already appeared twice in the manga adaptation dropping heavy spoilers. Don't think anime version would wait this long

[Hellspawn28]

I think the BOG saga will end by early September. I think the U6 saga will start by late November or early December.

[LightBing]

Since the anime isn't following the manga regarding Champa's side story, I assume he'll appear at the end of the BoG arc. The trailer for the series showed Champa and Beerus face to face. I hope this isn't the case, some clues for new plot would be excellent.

[Basaku]

I think the BOG saga will end by early September. I think the U6 saga will start by late November or early December.

Current pacing suggests the opposite, everything's moving slowly and they're padding BOG story as much as they can and there's still period to cover after that and whole F arc. The show will need a miracle to reach Universe 6 by December
