"It's not like the series is over." Were the exact words used, apparently.

a "Broly fanboy", mostly due to the Draco in Leather Pants-like version of him in his Dragon Ball: AF adaptation

I never finished, and never found out if that AF comic was actually finished - the one with Xicor getting sealed inside of the Z-Sword? I don't even remember where it ended.

Having said all of that, I don't know where the "Broly fanboy" accusation comes from. Toyotaro's one of the few people to bring Broly back exactly as he was in the films, making him a So Last Season villain that the heroes had long surpassed. The only person I remember him being a threat to was Bra, and only for a moment.

I thought it ended with Roshi dying in the middle of telling the story to small children?

And yeah, Broly got slapped around by a Pikkon who could... somehow keep up with Post-GT Goku?

The power levels were weird, but Toyotarou was following the qnime/GT so he had no hope using that as his source material

The Roshi ending was used the first time he had to take a hiatus, and then he continued the story from the Xicor fight with that ending still standing.

But when he got official work doing the Heroes manga, he couldn't continue the fanwork and released a farewell message for it.

If this really is somehow the end then I'm just grateful that I get to finally experience a DBZ weekly broadcast show. I never got the chance to really experience it because my family couldn't afford cable so everything I ever knew about DBZ were very sparse. I will be still forever miffed about Buu's treatment.

Super is by no means a flawless series (something this thread very vocally clear about it) but I'm glad we get to the chance experience new DBZ material.

I'm curious how they're going to make the next 7 or 8 episodes feel sufficiently climactic as a season finale.

More 125 spoilers. No mention of Gohan, but it does say that Toppo is about to lose from 17 and team U7's attacks, which could indicate that it's not just 17 and Freeza fighting him here.

Interview about the end of Super.

So, Dragon Ball Super really is definitively ending, and there are no current plans for a sequel show. The movie is still happening and Dragon Ball as a franchise will continue, but Super is almost over.

I very highly doubt that we won't get a sequel series after the movie. Dragon Ball is bigger than ever now.

Also it didn't say that there were "no plans" just that it was undecided which is vastly different.

Nothing's stopping Toyotaro from continuing the manga, unless they force him to stop at the end of the Tournament of Power. Also, didn't he say a while back that he's going to "somehow go past the anime". Do you think this is what he meant?

Continuing the manga past the end of the anime?

Honestly, if they did that, there might be more consistency. I kinda wish they'd done one first and had the other follow instead of just screwing around and letting both sides do their own thing.

I really wonder if the Bulma actress's death played a role in this decision.

It might have. We know they need time to replace her. We can only guess if this was something that was always planned, or if her death convinced them to cut out now for a bit.

[up][up] While her death may have solidified it, there were hints that they were going to do this before hand. The producers kept saying something was going to happen in March, and there was even one interview a while back that said something along the lines of "Super will reach it's climax in March." Then there's also the thing with the last DVD volume having less episodes than usual, only going up to episode 131. And also, the aforementioned thing that Toyotaro said.

They said the anime is ending, but that the series isn't over. They're probably talking about the manga. I'm pretty sure the anime's staff will probably work on DB Movie 20, with some going on to other projects like One Piece, Precure or Kitaro.

Technically, the manga was ahead of the anime for a time, when it skipped the Resurrection 'F' arc and went straight to the U6 tournament. I'm pretty sure the anime passed them before the Magetta fight. A one chapter a month manga cannot keep pace with a once a week episodic show, it's just impossible.

That Super is ending to make way for the next chapter in the series should mean, at the very least, that the next series will have a slightly different direction, an updated art style (man, am I hoping for that), possibly a different focus, all of which the franchise could use right now.

Maybe we'll get the adventures of the next generation; Goten, Trunks, Malon, Bra, and Pan all going around, martial artisting and fighting crime.

It would certainly be the time to skip to the end of Z.
