Also, its kind of annoying me how Super has been going for a year and we still don't have another opening. I mean come on.

If you re call, we had Cha la head cha la for three arcs before switching to We Gotta Power. Dragonball tends to stay consistent with it's opening themes.

And Kai stuck with Dragon Soul all the way through the Cell Saga. I'm guessing unless there is some significant time skip, they probably won't change the theme of the series.

Which is a shame, because I don't even like Chozetsu Dynamic as a song that much. If it had liked the song more, its inclusion in the Goku/Hit fight would have been even more awesome.

It's funny you say Toriyama looks like Ro F Gohan - Toriyama always seem to draw himself in tracksuits, too. I wondered if that was intentional, but then I realised they only redesigned Gohan to humiliate him in the movie. So...I dunno. I guess looking like the author ISN'T a sign of respect?

Actually, I'm not sure whether RF was supposed to make us like Gohan or be embarrassed by him. He's lost a lot of power, but he actually has a lot of badass moments in the movie. I just...don't know.

Super shouldn't change the opening just because they can. I hate that.

The opening should be iconic of the series, it's not a goddamn AMV.

I definitely wouldn't mind Super changing the OP, but it's not like I'm against it keeping the same song for the rest of the run either.

We Gotta Power is a thing, no matter how iconic Chala Head Chala may be.

Also, "they shouldn't because I would hate it"? With italics for emphasis? Think: Why would strangers on the internet deem your personal taste as so strong of an argument?

I want Super to get a new OP because then I can pretend like it's having a fresh start. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Super so far, but there's definitely room for improvement. Changing everything will make me feel that from this point onwards, they're trying to make it better.

We Got Power didn't come until the final arc of Dragon Ball Z and the original Dragon Ball kept the same intro for its entire run, even when it got to the darker King Piccolo Saga. Dragon Ball just isn't know for changing intros every season. They tend to stick to one intro that is the theme of the series. In fact, the only reason why Kai 2.0 got a new intro instead of them sticking with Dragon Soul is because Kai was actually cancel for a couple of years before they brought it back.

Also, if they wanted to do a new intro equal new a beginning in Super, they would have done it for the Champa Saga since it is Super's first original arc that breaks away from the retellings and it was market as such.

[up][up][up]Congratulations on failing at reading.

I didn't say "they shouldn't change it because I would hate it", I said "They shouldn't change it just because they can, I would hate that".

As so many before me have put it, learn to read, it's important when you're having conversations through a written medium.

I'd like Super to change the opening, not because I don't like the one we have now mind, it's really good. I just think it's time for a change. Either at the beginning of the Black Goku arc or at the beginning of the multiverse tournament would be the best time for it. Super should have no more than 2 or 3 openings though, depending on how long it runs for.

...huh. In that close-up pic, there's a little thing on the side that has the new Future Trunks together with...what looks like RF promotional art? I don't know if that's intentional, or they're just recycling artwork. Because Goku and Vegeta seem to be spending this entire new arc in their pre-F outfits.

It's amazing how close the arc is to starting and we barely know anything about it. Think about how much we knew about the tournament before it started in the anime.

I do like how the game looks crisper now, kinda like Budokai HD.

Though, do ya think 7-v-7 fights might be a tad too big?

EDIT: sneak peak at new DBH trailer, and Goku Black is DEFINITELY coming!

A red belt, huh?

"It's amazing how close the arc is to starting and we barely know anything about it. Think about how much we knew about the tournament before it started in the anime."

That's because the manga jumped ahead and we got the first six episodes of tournament spoiled. If manga hadn't jumped ahead, the only thing we would have known about the Champa Saga is the artwork for the U6 fighters and the Super Dragon Balls.

[up]And the fact that Champa and Vados showed up twice in the RF arc. Also, that comment of Toriyama's a few months before. And Champa and Vados being in the main visual. And the opening.

We would have known about Champa and Vados, but we wouldn't known anything about what they were after, their motives, or how they connected to the story. We would be guessing what was going on.

Odds of the Multiverse tournament being the final arc? Odds of a timeskip after the Multiverse tournament to introduce Uub and Bra and a continuation starring them and Pan?

Odds of multiverse torunament being the final arc? Low. Very low. They were talking about Super lasting for years. Multiverse looks like it'll be just after the Black arc. Likelyhood of Pan and Uub getting a dedicated anything? Low. They aren't Goku and Vegeta.

Dragonball Heroes whoring out Super saiyan God deeply wounds me. It's only a matter of time until Broly gets it (but is somehow still huge), and then they'll whore out Super saiyan god Super Saiyan (I refuse to call it Super Saiyan Blue).

Chances of the Multiverse being the final arc, I say it's possible. If they go through the tournaments like the original Dragon Ball, there will be one story arc and then a tournament. They may even decide to end the series on a big tournament since that is how Dragon Ball ended and even Z ended on a tournament.

Will they timeskip to include Uub and Pan in the tournament. Possibly. Zen-O only said soon, which can mean years since beings like Zen-O live for million of years. Five or six years wouldn't mean a thing to him. However, given that Toriyama said that everyone is really old by the end of the series, if may take Super a long time to reach Uub, if they do anyway.

Also, who have they been given Super Saiyan God to in Heroes? Even if they did, it is a little forgivable since any Saiyan can reach Super Saiyan God through the ritual as long as they're righteous. Although, I will be mad if Broly gets it because he anything but righteous.

I meant have another sequel series starring Uub, Pan, and Bra after the tournament, not that they would be in it.

Odds of Goku ending up leaving for X years to train with Oob and we get get another GT scenario?

While Pan and Bulla save the world by helping Gohan recover from his lack authentic training due to being a sheepish nerd.

They will never do a sequel series. They tried to it in GT, and failed. Super is set in-between the timeskip because at least then they can keep familiar characters in. Dragon Ball without Goku (and, to a lesser extent, Vegeta) sounds too terrifyingly different for them to try and sell.

GT problems wasn't that it was a sequel series. GT's problems were that it had no story direction when it was created which led to a lot of recycle plots and materials, it was made without Toriyama involvement outside of character designs and concept art, and its logic made no sense even by Dragon Ball standards.

There have been many one-shots and specials that had little to no Goku in them like the what if story with Bardock and the 2008 special that was mostly about Gotenks and his antics. Even going by the older movies, Movie 9-10 was Gohan's movies, with Movie 11 focusing on Goten and Trunks, and Movie 13 was mostly about Trunks.

Can there be a sequel series with Uub, Pan, and Bra? At this time, no, because we don't really know these characters so interest in a series about them would be really low.
