What would you like from the next slice of life episodes?

Post by Noah » Thu Oct 13, 2016 6:05 pm

Dragon Ball Super has this pattern of having slice of life episodes to tone down things a little bit, we had two first episodes about Goku and Vegeta's family, that episode with Satan and aliens after BoG Arc and two episodes after Champa Arc presenting Goku fighting with Beerus disguised as Monaka and the second about his Ki's disorder and Pan (I don't consider Potaufeu Arc as a slice of life, much less Trunks paying a visit to Gohan in the current arc)

How would you like to be the next slice of life after the current arc?

I was thinking about something like a Halloween Special, the gang in their costumes at night in Bulma's house (as always) and people wondering where is Goku, then suddenly Black appears in the party saying: "You filthy ningen thought you had defeated me? How unfortunate for you", frightening everyone as f*** but then is revelead that is actually Goku dressed as Black (Future Trunks is still there for lulz), I would expect great interactions from this and Goku being slapped for his prank as usual

Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

A female-centric arc for the fun of it. No reason in particular. :P

Anything that involves Lunch. Also, Boo/Satan adventures would be fun.

That would be hilarious, just by imagine guys like Piccolo wearing Holloween-themed outfit cracks me up. If the slice of life episodes are still going to kick in at around December, I'd like some kind of a Christmas special too. I'm dying to see an episode with Goku and company wearing Christmas outfits. Maybe have Bulma announce she's pregnant while Future Trunks is still around. Maybe an episode focused on Trunks and the future too.

A Halloween episode would be amazing! There's so much you could do with it.

If it involves either Vegeta or Pan, I'm in! Baby Pan potential for storylines is endless. Contrary to a good percentage of people, I love how they portray silly Vegeta, it's funny and the awkwardness is on point. Since the character went from serious asshole to regularish person, his actions seem correct from a character growth perspective.

I don't like the idea of a holiday episode, it's likely because I've seen way too many sitcoms, which abuse the trope to death. It screams unoriginal to me. Of course the execution is the key.

Here's a few ideas:
- A day in Kuririn's job.
- Dende and the gang pay a visit to New Namek.
- Mr.Boo takes the dog for a walk (can't remember the dog's name).
- Goku and Vegeta make a bet to see who can earn x money first without using their powers.
- Yamcha the (Former)Baseball Star - The Documentary.

There's so many characters and so many adventures to be had.

This. We need more relaxation, and the beach is neglected in Dragon Ball.

Yeah, Halloween would be great.

Just imagine it... Goku and Vegeta getting into a sand-building competition, Gohan wearing a speedo, Bulma wearing a super-sexy bikini, Yamcha being a surfing god, Chi-Chi revealing she has the body of a goddess under all that baggy clothing, #18 (or Krillin) fighting off guys who try to hit on her, and Videl blushing all embarrassed over showing so much skin after giving birth and bonding with Pan along with Gohan.

It can also lead to some great character development as well...

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Halloween would be good because of trick or treating for Beerus, Whis and Buu and the food that comes with it. Also Vegeta, Piccolo and Tien dressing up and feeling awkward.

They should do a string of all the types of typical anime filler:
Beach episode! Hot springs episode! School festival episode! Sports day episode! :P

As for what I'd actually like to see, still looking for some sort of mention/appearance for Bra, so maybe she could finally exist again. After all, she's a good vehicle for more VegeBul, which has been sorely lacking lately after they gave us so much in the earlier parts of the show...I would also love to see awkward Vegeta trying to take care of his little girl.

I would prefer a episode about Bra to be honest, and one about Goten and Trunks growing to adults

I think I've covered my wishes already, but:
  • Bulla is born
  • Beach episode where people have finally grown up/older
  • Goku and Pan play with Zen'ou
Probably Kanzenshuu's biggest Bulla fangirl. Current avatar: DBU Bulla as Sailor Princess Sadala, based on Sailor Moon: Cosmic Dance
