If Toriyama hadn't decided to cut Launch out of the story due to thinking people had forgotten about her (and why the hell did he think that would happen anyway?), do you think she could have been Trunk's mom instead of Bulma?

I certainly hope not.

I know people like to think of Goten and Trunks as "Goku and Vegeta's kids" but, from a certain narrative perspective, there's something I really like about the Super Saiyans of tomorrow being Goku and Bulma's lineages. It all started with them, after all.

But everything Super Sayian about Trunks comes from Vegeta. Bulma was merely an incubator. tongue

Goku is secretly Trunks' father. Vegeta must never know.

Coincidentally, the next episode of Super deals with a misunderstanding about Goku and Bulma having an affair.

Vegeta is secretly Trunks's mother. Bulma must never know.

No Bulma, no time machine. Everyone dies to Androids. Except Goku, who dies of heart virus. Vegeta acts as the middleman because Bulma met Goku when he was a little kid, so that would just be weird.

So, there are only two Kai in the manga comic. We know why there are only two Kaioshin, because the rest are dead but do you think we'll ever see the rest of the regular Kai(much less the kai and Kaioshin of the demon realm)?

More like, no Bulma, no time machine, so no plot that would require time travel.

Well if you feel like being meta sure. He could just come up with another way, like just having Gero make it before they kill him or something.

Or Bulma is still alive and still builds it.

Bulma not being Trunk's mom technically doesn't preclude her being alive to build the time machine.

That being said, I do kind like Tobias's take on it.

It should go without saying, but this is also a sequel to Battle of Gods.

So the question is, will it take place after Super, or tell it's own story, which will then be adapted into Super?

@Arha No, no. It'll be the Resurrection of PC, Perfect Cell.

He will also train for 4 months and become Golden Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Super Perfect Cell.

My shirt like yes, my jacket like yes, every single piece of my wardrobe like yes! Now say it three times.

Ahem. Yo, Son Goku And His Friends Return, Battle Of Gods and Revival Of F were all enjoyable so I'm looking forward to what follows them. I think the second film in our trilogy so far was a bit of a Sophomore Slump and I still liked it, so as long as film four is that good, I'm good.

How much do you wanna bet that it's just going to be the Universe 6 tournament in movie format?

The movie is completely unconfirmed as of right now, and seems very unlikely with both Toei's schedule and how recent RF was released. Hell, Super has only completed its first arc!

It took two years between Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. Super followed up very quickly, I highly doubt they'd start announcing a new movie so soon.

If, theoretically, Kuriza was canon and trained with his father but didn't achieve the same level of power, would Gohan and Gotenks teaming up to beat him be awesome?

I'd say no because Kuriza was a gag character to begin with, and this would be his debut. He really wouldn't have any hype that would make Gohan and Gotenks beating him awesome, and it'd be marred by him failing to reach Freeza's power. Gohan and Gotenks would get a victory under their belt, but it'd be hollow because Kuriza has no narrative significance. It'd just be padding.

That'd suck. I feel like there's no point in doing it as a movie if we are going to see it as T.V.

Super is already going through old stuff (and expanding it a little) so the movie should do something that's not in the series.
