* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Voice acting, in this case. {{Creator/Joji Yanami}} is nearly 85 years old as of his work on Super, and that's not an age at which you can strain your voice anymore, in most cases. As a result, his inflections for King Kai are mainly monotone, no matter what the animation has him reacting to.

** Many fans weren't surprised to see [[spoiler: Future Trunks would attack Goku on sight due to triggered PTSD because of Black. Since Trunks remembered Goku intended to stay dead, he didn't know he was brought back to life by Old Kaioshin]].
** There has been debate as to whether Future Trunks had reached Super Saiyan 2 after being brought back to life since the 90s. [[note]] Supporters saying that he did have noted that Saiyans' "Zenkai" ability should have pushed him over the edge like it did with Cell, and that Trunks was drawn with spikier hair & lightning bolts around his aura after returning to the future to fight the Androids and Cell. Detractors, however, noted that there was no actual mention of him being anything more than SSJ in writing.[[/note]] When Goku spars with Trunks in Super, however, he, in no uncertain terms, flat-out says Trunks is Super Saiyan 2. The fact that he was shown to have singlehandedly defeated Dabura (who was as powerful as Cell), only further solidifies this fact.
** Future Mai surviving Goku Black's first attack was no shock, given how heavily she was promoted as a major character in the arc.
** Several fans (and Bulma) speculated that [[spoiler: Zamasu murdered Gowasu and took the Time Ring]]. Lo and behold, they were right (however the thought he was poisoned by his tea). For now, since [[spoiler: Whis' BigDamnHeroes moment allowed him to reverse time, after Beerus lets Zamasu murder Gowasu, seeing the evidence present itself before promptly killing him attacks Goku]].
** Damn near everyone initially thought [[spoiler:Goku Black is Zamasu. Then it looked like it was a lie, only for it to turn out to be true through a road of many plot twists leaving still more questions]].
** {{Subverted}}: A lot of people thought Black was related somehow to [[PosthumousCharacter Future Goku]], thanks to a scene where he touches his heart after fighting main Goku in the present, implying he had the same heart disease that almost killed Goku. [[spoiler:Turns out this is not the case. According to Black himself, he traded bodies with present Goku (one year into the main timeline's future specifically), thus it's not the same Goku who died of the disease.]]
** People called it when the preview for 62 mentioned the technique that would defeat [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] would be the Evil Containment Wave. Sure enough, Piccolo mentions the technique and Goku goes to Master Roshi's to learn how to use it.
** Ever since Goku Black was shown with a Potara earring, speculations came about that he would either fuse or was fused with someone. [[spoiler: Once Future Zamasu showed up, he became the top fusion candidate. Lo and behold, Black and Zamasu did indeed fuse together using the Potaras]].

** [[spoiler: Merged Zamasu, being the fusion of two Zamasu's, just calls himself Zamasu. However, some fans have jokingly used the traditional fusion name method of combining the names of the two fusees (in this case Black and Zamasu) to give him the [[SarcasmMode terrifying]] name of [[TomTheDarkLord Zack.]]]]

DB Super is official streaming on Crunchyroll and Daisuki


* NoExportForYou: The series is currently not available on ''any'' legal streaming websites (Crunchyroll, Hulu, Daisuki, etc.), so the only way to watch it in English is through... unofficial means. In addition, Funimation currently does ''not'' have the rights to distribute the series outside of Japan. An English dub ''will'' be released later in 2016, but it will only air in Southeast Asia, so anyone outside of Asia who wants to officially support the series is ''still'' screwed. Not helping is the fact that Funimation will likely ''not'' be involved in this particular dub. However with [[http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/2016/07/dragon-ball-super-funimation-dub-confirmed this]] picture from Jason Douglas' Instagram account, this will likely be averted soon.
