What now?
So, with the Zamasu saga being almost at its end, what to you think will happen? How will it end? What is going to happen next? The universal tournament thing? Do you even want that? Do you want Trunks to stay around longer, even after this saga ends? Tell me whatever flies through your head. Even if it is pigs.

Re: What now?
The current saga is actually called "Future Trunks", it's written in the very Dragon Ball Super's website.
Anyway, for Trunks, I just want him to become what he's meant to become... Time Patroller. A fine and fitting ending for the character, his constant time travel actions must be punished, and nothing better than incorporate what Dragon Ball Online has already stated.
For everyone else, a new saga would be welcome. A new one or revisiting the past are okay to me, it's high time to give Tarble, Tights, Gine and maybe Bardock some highlight. If not, then let's depart from this Universe to Universe 6 to meet the Saiyans there.

Re: What now?
Best guess, assuming they don't end the series after this arc. They're probably going to have a couple filler episodes to lead to the next arc, similar to how the Champa arc ended with a few filler-type episodes before going into the Black/Future arc.

I don't know what this totally unneccessary smiley is here for. I am calling it Zamas saga because he is the main villain and continue the tradition that people also follow when saying Freeza saga and such so spare me that smiley please as you obviously understood what i was talking about.

Re: What now?
They make some peacetime Earth episodes, Trunks stays in his timeline.
Next arc will probably start late December or January.

Re: What now?
They cancel Super and we get a Trunks spin-off. It'll have a monster of the week formula, and each episode ends with him getting an unexplained power-up.

Re: What now?
As much as I love Trunks and everything he has done for this arc. I'm ready to see him go. Though I hope we do get some closure on his story. (again)
I'm up for whatever to happen next as long as it's not the universal tourny. I wouldn't hate it, but I still think it's to soon.
I'm just hoping whatever next villain is entertaining.

Re: What now?
I'm hoping Vegeta explores Cabba's planet (whatever it's called; with Cabba, of course), and Goku either trains with Hit or explores another Universe (10, 3, or perhaps another?). Though to be honest, I wouldn't have an issue if the Omniverse Tournament was next.
And I prefer "Zamasu Arc" because Future Trunks is not exactly the central focus. Just like "Freeza Saga" isn't the best name in my opinion, so I use "Namek Saga". But that's another discussion.

Re: What now?
Trunks should go, make room for Present Trunks to age up in a few sagas.
I want some lighthearted in-between arc episodes on earth, then I really want a universe 6 arc. Saiyan planet would be neat.

Re: What now?
Realistically, I expect there to be a few slice of life episodes. Possibly even a mini-arc to find a friend for Zeno. Afterwards, we get the tournament.
There are so many directions they could go though. I mean, the possibilities are endless with 12 universes, one of which has a saiyan planet. Unfortunately, I don't really imagine they'll do much world-building or traveling.
After the inevitable tournament, I truly believe we'll go to EoZ. Super has followed a pattern after the BoG one: slice of life > villain from the past > slice of life > tournament > slice of life > throwback from the past > and so on. We've had Frieza return. We ventured into Future Trunks' future. All that's left is a throwback to Buu. What better way than finally introducing Uub?

We'll probably get a mini filler arc before moving on to Toriyama's next arc.Cetra wrote:What is going to happen next ?

Tell me whatever flies through your head.
No, I'd rather them go to U6's Saiyan planet or finding out why Hit wanted to go to other universes.
No, they've done enough damage to him already.
I want them to stop doing whatever they want and follow the lore that was established in the original manga.

Re: What now?
I want an adaption of Jaco's manga so badly. But I know what we're gonna get next is slice of life episodes. After that point, I see them diving straight into exploring the other universes there's so much they could do with that. But I worry how they will execute it.
Spoiler:
Re: What now?
They better give Yamcha a filler episode. He hasn't done anything in Super other than slap Beerus on the back and point out that Beerus was in Monaka's costume fighting Goku.
Re: What now?
I see us having a bit more slice of life episodes than what we usually have because this arc was a big one, I mean all stops were pulled out this time. I see Goku and Vegeta taking it easy and something from another universe coming up. I don't see the tournament being literally an arc after the U6 tourney. I'd like to think that everyone in Future Trunk's timeline comes back to our timeline, but I just don't see it happening. I hope Trunks and Goten actually ages a bit and that they become teens and actually wants to train after seeing what his future counterpart went through.
Re: What now?
Yeah I expect there will be some mini filler saga next with the next main saga beginning in January.
I do want the Universal Tournament but I certainly don't want that yet. A saga involving Goku and Vegeta going to the Universe 6 Saiyan world could be interesting as long as it didn't mean the villain was going to be a Saiyan which we don't need after just having Black.
I'd like them to have a saga where they just go to another universe and finally meet another one of the Gods of Destruction who could be the villain.
I would prefer that Trunks stays in the series because with him gone it might mean that Goku and Vegeta will hog up all the limelight and the fighting again and it's been nice to see someone else heavily involved for once. If he goes out of it though and I do expect that he will then I won't be disappointed or anything.

Re: What now?
Probably the Multi-verse tournament (after some filler episodes)
But what I'm curious about is what should be the reasons for them to fight in that tournament?
What are the consequences if they lose, and what is the prize if they win?
And if they win (and lets assume they will) will the prize be wishes from the super dragonballs?
What should be their wishes?, Goku's timeline doesn't really need wishes since everything is at peace.
Future Trunks Time-line however.....

Re: What now?
The next saga I want it to focus on Goten. They've focused enough on the Trunks' characters. If they want to evenly develop their characters then it should be Goten's turn. He has potential to be an even better character and why not stronger.
Re: What now?
I could see Goten developing jealousy over Trunks' "girlfriend" after dealing with their public affection for too long. That could span a short story where he deals with his problem, accepts it, and grows into the portrayal he's known for in the ending and Dragon Ball GT. That's probably a nice way to connect the dots.

Re: What now?
Did Zeno say the Universe Tournament was going to be within an Earth year? I can't recall.
I wouldn't mind some time-jumping and visiting Cabbe's Planet Sadla.
I know that I want to see Goten, Trunks, and Marron actually age more than anything. And Piccolo getting an upgrade to be relevant again; I really just want at least one or two non-Saiyans relevant again.

He didn't specify when it would occur, if ever.
