Well at least Goten and Trunks will get to go on a journey. But aren't Gohan and Videl already married at this point?

First episode is probably directly after Buu, but before Battle Of Gods.

Sounds like this series will fill in gaps between Buu Saga and Bo G, Bo G and Ro F, and then probably go to Uub.

  • UUB: Hey, guys, I made it into the show! And I'm as powerful as Pure Buu was! I'm ready to do some awesome!
  • GOKU: Congratulations! That means you're about 3% the strength of the last guy I fought.
  • UUB: ...wait, what? But...Pure Buu! God-Killing Abomination!
  • GOKU: Dude, it's been ten years. You should see the kind of leaps I've made in six days before.

Yet, Uub is perfectly capable of harming Saiyan Beyond God Goku at the end of the series.

The end of the manga just may have been retconed out of existence.

Maybe he's half-Buu and half-human so he has Hidden Potential that makes him a bajillion times more powerful than Majin Buu was and also conveniently strong enough to injure the current villain in short bursts - but not enough to win.

Yea the manga ending is probably gonna be revised just a tad.

And I can tell Goku getting a new job might turn into a Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs? running gag.

Yay!

And then Bulma was disappointed herself when Bra turned out to be boy crazy like her, but without the universe-breaking genius.

...I don't want this.

Also, I mean, there's nothing in the series that actually says Pan and Bra couldn't become Super Saiyans at that point.

The end of the manga just may have been retconed out of existence.

Didn't Toriyama already change part of it?

And Goku's base form would still be weaker than Kid Buu.

Saiyan Beyond God could be about equal to Kid Buu.

...And, according to Online and Xenoverse, Buu can get stronger if he trains.

Fansubs suck.

didn't know Unoun was a girl...then again, Internet.

I wonder how many fans are gonna mark the Slice of Life direction as RUINEDFOREVER

I'd love this, but considering 18 and Gine, a freaking Saiyan, were relegated to kitchen duty, it doesn't really bode well for the two girls.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

In 18's defense, I think having a child to raise is more important than punching people in the face.

[up] Point, but then Krillin is the one who should've stayed home while 18, the super android with limitless energy, handled Freezer's mook army.

Neither of them being there really makes sense. Then again, it made no sense for Tien or Roshi to be there either, and yet... seriously Roshi of all people being there pisses me off so much.

I write off that entire section of mook killing for exactly that reason.

So I watched the 2008 special in full. It was pretty fun. Tarble indeed says Abo and Kado were as strong as the Ginyus at first, then trained to be even with Frieza. I'm assuming this means first-form Frieza because why would it be second or third and Frieza claimed only his parents had seen his fourth. They're on the losing end with Goten and Trunks, but still able to keep up with them. Once they merge, they utterly destroy them until the kids fuse to form Gotenks. Gotenks beats Aka but Aka is actually able to get back up from a SS Gotenks blow which is pretty impressive. So Aka is likely quite a bit above Frieza.

Also the Kais don't join the fight at all, they just eat and watch with Mark, which is pretty funny.

Also also, the special seemingly canonizes Gregory.

They aren't Friezas, it took them decades.

Only Freezas and Saiyans gain exponential, plot-breaking power in a matter of months.

Oh, I am SO excited to hear the angry nostalgic fanboys. You know, all the people who hated Battle of Gods because "it was too kiddy".

I wonder how many times I'm going to have to tell people that, yes, Dragon Ball is a KIDS SHOW, and was ALWAYS a kids show.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

No one's going to say that.

But even if they did, it a kid's show where a main character killed innocent people for laughs, a show where at least three people were blown up, gored, or otherwise mutilated in practically the same arc, a show that probably challenges most religions to a T, with a spirit world that bad guys can enter, get 3 square meals and a cot. And let's not forget Majin Buu essentially enacting the rapture, just, without the whole "the worthy shall be sent to Heaven" part.

I had a relative who said Dragonball Z was "witch craft" when they saw us playing Tenkaichi 3. Admittedly, he doesn't show up to family brunch anymore, but nevertheless, Dragonball/Z is a disturbing, violent show when it wants to be,
