Goku isn't even his real namecan they finally do the thing where light writes son goku in his death note but IT DOESN'T WORK CAUSE HE'S NOT A HUMAN HE'S A SAIYAN
Will he thoI'm not trippin. I'd rather have present Trunks be eventually used.
Bamco only gives dubs to Dragon Ball and Naruto games.Oh my gosh I need this in english. Please tell me this game has an english dub.
Based on what though?I'm honestly not hopeful that trend will continue with that many relevant characters
"When" lol. There's quite the chance we don't actually get that, or the trip to Sadala unfortunatelyHopefully they give Jiren the W when the arc involving his villain comes around
Based on what though?
Hit appeared outside of tournament arcs, even got to see him out doing his job. For what he was, I think he got plenty of screen time. I don't think they introduced Jiren to not have him appear in any prominent capacity again. He's still the strongest mortal after all, outside of UI Goku. There's really no reason to believe they won't do anything with him. I wouldn't be surprised to see the U6 Saiyans either, since Saiyan lore seems to be a direction Toriyama and Toei are interested in these days.
Lots of characters in the ToP had their own victories. Trunks had the most significant victory in his arc. Those are the only two major arcs in Super, so they already have a good track record of using characters other than Goku and Vegeta and giving them victories.Sure I have a pretty good feeling Toei will touch base with these characters in slice of life like those Saiyaman episodes and such but I mean I have little hope for these new characters to get THE W (or even a smaller but still meaningful W) over Goku and Vegeta like Trunks did in his arc outside of tournaments where you NEED more characters
This is based on the fact that Toriyama never really introduces large villain groups in the same way other Shonen do and seems to stick to introducing new people in twos

the annoying thing is dragon ball heroes has a whole bad guy squad in the dark demon mission stuff but they're all trapped in that dumbass continuityIts like one of the most obvious things DBS could be doing, but noooooo
Right, but what I'm saying is that since there's only been two major original arcs in Super and because those arcs have showcased supporting characters, it doesn't really give any reason to be sceptical that they'll use them in the future. I don't think Toriyama is refusing to do a multi villain arc, he probably wanted to make the Trunks arc a personal, tragic story focused mostly on the one character in the spotlight. Then, the ToP did have a cast of antagonists or opponents for Goku and friends to fight, even if it was in a tournament. Maybe we'll see an arc with multiple villains in the future. If Super was coming right off Z, then I would be more hesitant, because Z had two solo monster arcs in a row, but seeing as Super is its own different thing now, I'm not too sure there's any reason to believe there won't be a chance for future arcs with a larger cast of villains. If it's going to happen, I feel that With Toei writers working in collaboration with Toriyama, it might make it more of a possibility. I remember during the Future Trunks arc, people were hoping to see an arc where more than a few characters got to be in the spotlight - then the ToP happens and does exactly that.Right there in the first sentence is the problem, the Tournament of Power was peak Dragon ball but only in a tournament setting could we get more appropriate spread of focus
In the last tournament arc they went to great lengths to make sure only Goku or Vegeta did anything meaningful to the point where Buu just slept through it, Piccolo forfeited for no reason and Monaka was a gag
Future Trunks getting a big win is great but that's one character and I'd hope they could juggle more than 3 main characters
The TOP showed us they could but it was isolated in a tournament setting where they HAD to have more people
Like Lotus said earlier if they can have more than 3 fighting characters doing stuff in a non-tournament we'll talk but seeing as Toriyama refuses to introduce a group of villains with multiple strong members nowadays I find it hard to have faith he'll do it now
Yup, no VA at all...also is it just me or did they just straight up not record ryuk for those cutscenes
Those 2 Z "solo monster arcs" had much more variety in scenerios and characters used anyway. So theoretically we don't even need a large cast of villains for it to have better character variety (in terms of the heroes). We could give some credit to RoF but personally I think just having them all fight a bunch of random goons at once is kinda lame when we're looking for the thrill of having an arc that's worth getting more characters involved. If this was coming straight off Z I'd have more hope that it would use the hero cast better.

I don't really agree with variety in scenarios and characters, at least if we're comparing the tournament arc to the Z arcs. Maybe the Buu arc was fairly dynamic, but the Cell arc was fairly bland scenario and character wise. It was mostly characters going from one rocky terrain to another to talk about how strong they were or stall for time. Most of the characters outside of Goku, Vegeta and Trunks had little to do outside of lamenting their weakness or being sidekicks until the arc climax where oh yeah they got hidden potential to make them the strongest. Piccolo got to be cool though, his last time in the sun, so that was def good.Those 2 Z "solo monster arcs" had much more variety in scenerios and characters used anyway.

And I agree about the tournament point. It would be much more interesting to see a larger cast of characters used outside of a tournament setting. Just having a huge tournament as an excuse to get other characters involved isn't satisfactory to me on its own.
I just hope we can get a non tourney arc that's more intricate than the non tourney Super arcs that can get more characters involved in a more interesting way. That's the main thing that makes DBZ arcs so much better to me at this point.

The writing really lacked any kind of representation of variety - chiefly in the dialogue which is super dry in Z. The thing about strength as an idea was really left unexplored in Z, there was no depth to it. This is where Super has really taken off, in being able to articulate something simple yet tied to how the characters engage with one another through belief and explorations of their identities beyond merely the desire to be strong.
I think ToP arena is easily the best fighting stage DB has ever had. It has it's own dynamic architecture that's constantlyAnd Cell Saga has many more distinguishable "wasteland" enviornments than that (and any arc in Super).

reshaped and sculpted through the action and various characters make their own unique marks on it. It's almost it's own character in a way. None of the landscapes in DB have ever had that much character because they're basically just rubble for characters to be thrown in. The fighting tactics of various characters are in part defined by their interaction with the environment in ways DB hasn't approached before.
It's interesting because it works as more than a backdrop, which isn't something DB has really done with its environments before. I like that the Broly movie seemed to be following this kind of thing with the shift of the icy landscape to a volcanic landscape. I hope this continues in the future of Super. Like, looking back on Z, I do find it hard to be impressed with the locations, even if they went to more of them. I don't think visual topography was ever a strong point with Toriyama.
In before the announcement is that Super is over and a sequel series is coming this year titled Dragon Ball Z.
It absolutely could be something totally underwhelming.
Article about the 30th Anniversary of DBZ was in License Global magazine.
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/2019/02/1...pcoming-dragon-ball-z-30th-anniversary-plans/
Some stuff that was in the article in the magazine but not mentioned on Kanzenshuu.
Some time in March or April Toei will be teaming up with Adult Swim to make an announcement to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of DBZ (April 26th is the anniversary).
After the reception of Dragon Ball's presence at SDCC last year Toei plans to have an even bigger presence this year.
It'd be kinda strange if the announcement Toei and Adult Swim are going to make is Super's return, but with Broly's marketing being so US focused I guess it'd make sense. We'll see if that's the announcement or not. April 26th makes sense as a potential date to announce the show's return with it being DBZ's 30th anniversary.
In before the announcement is that Super is over and a sequel series is coming this year titled Dragon Ball Z.
"In February, along with Funimation, we're going to have a 30th anniversary collectible home video release announcement," says [senior manager of licensing and marketing at Toei Animation, Lisa] Yamatoya. "This summer, we will partner with Overlook to host a 'Dragon Ball Z' symphony concert in the U.S. and Canada. The audience can listen to the symphony while clips from the show play, allowing fans to see the story on-screen with live music."
Didn't say I was expecting it, I said this is a possible time for the announcement.Here's the thing.
ArchedThunder is expecting a "Super returns!" announcement at an upcoming event.
Therefore it is not happening.

Could be the movie remasters that Toei released in Japan recently.Also, I wonder what "30th anniversary collectible home video release" means. That doesn't sound like it's describing just the Broly movie. Could we finally be seeing a full, proper blu ray remaster of Z?
Broadcast audio release is the dream.Here's the thing.
