Old characters you want to see in Dragon Ball Super?

...I think a better question is who's not going to get included in the main group because clearly they can't jam-pack everyone and their mothers aboard the Super train...

I don't know, Naruto had a huge amount of characters and they managed to fit them in well enough. I think it can be done.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Maybe. They have a better chance at dealing with more characters as a series than they would a movie though, as they aren't stuck with a specific run time. Of course the story is most important, so the show doesn't need to suffer for the sake of over stuffing.

[samuraix123]

Paikuhan definitely! Obviously more Master Roshi. I actually hope we get another Tournament. I'm a sucker for tournaments haha

Hmm really? Because to me, many of the cast members' screentime seemed to be on a compromise, just to break up tension, allow for cliffhangers, or to introduce a plot twist. And the thing is, most of the characters in Naruto (they were fantastic!) were kind of tossed aside into the sidelines and became forgotten or killed off. Same seems to be for Fairy Tail, Bleach, etc. Heck, even the original DB suffered from this syndrome.
I mean, I definitely won't knock down a huge cast if DBS will somehow provide for an environment where each desired character can actually get a decent chunk of focus, but am not so sure about the idea of just mindlessly jamming as many characters as possible into the main, focal cast expecting all of them to take the stage...when they'll just be delegated to supporting roles as usual and if in large numbers and each given a lot of screentime, they'll kind of eat away at the story's pacing.

I just hope Uub is a main character.

[Dyno]

I just hope Uub is a main character.

Speaking of it, the "true" end of Z suggested that. You think the new series will ever follow that version?

If DBS follows directly after Kai Uub might play a big role as the current ending for Kai involves Uub.

I feel like if they intended to ignore EoZ they wouldn't include Uub in Kai, but maybe that's just me.

I 100% agree

I'd rather have a small but focused cast where they are all contributing to the plot, than a huge cast where 99% of the characters are nerfed and useless fodder like in the new movies

If Tien, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks etc aren't gonna be legit useful, I'd rather not have them at all than have them being fodderized. Just focus on Vegeta/Goku/Beerus/Whis only.

[samuraix123]

I agree with this so much! I love Uub's character so much and would love to see him become a hero.

[FoolsGil]

Bring him back. Him, and Devilman.

[Lord Beerus]

No, they really didn't. Naruto did a really horrible job handling its large cast. One Piece is great example of how you handle a large cast.

[Polyphase Avatron]

I'd like to see Dabura come back somehow.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

• Gine
• Tights
• Jaco
• Raditz
• Majin Buu
• Dabura
• Lunch
• Tarble
• Mr. Satan
• Pikkon
• Pilaf
• Chaozu
• Tenshinhan

[Gyt Kaliba]

Since the question is more about 'old' characters, I guess I'll just say up front that I'm definitely down for seeing more Beerus, Whis, Jaco, and, if they can do it in a way that's not shoehorned - and that's a pretty big if - Gine, so she'll finally appear in animation. Mostly cuz I wanna know who they'd get to play her on either side of the language barrier.

Old characters though? I'd love to see more of Pilaf and cronies, Tao, Lunch, maybe 17...ohh, 8 and Snow would be fun. Really there's such a great amount of old characters that are still alive that I wouldn't mind at all seeing what they're up to after all these years.

[SSJGFrieza]

Arale .

[Son Edo]

Perfect Cell and Super Buu revived in one of the arcs.

[Gotham22]

I would like to see Lunch, Pilaf, Chaozu, and Tenshinhan have a part in this new series. Also do something right with Android 17 and bring back Raditz.
He's pretty much the only dead villain that's been shunned, unlike the others. A keep Cell and Freeza dead. I think we've seen enough of those two.

[emperior]

Bring back Future Trunks!

[Mystic Tien]

I would be glad if Yamcha and Tien appear in this series at all... more for 10 seconds or such.

[PiccoloFan7289]

- Future Trunks ( I want him back for one of the main arcs).
- Cell ( I would like to see him come back in maybe a minor arc as the main villain between the main arcs).
- Android 17 ( I want to see him again. Have him come back and interact with Android 18, Kuririn, and Marron).
