It's the way the articles about the end of Super are worded.

I do hope that the production gets started on the right footing, if a new series is announced. The way some people phrase it, Super's been a production nightmare, just by the amount of episode directors involved.

Dragon Ball Ultra

Also, Goku imagining Freeza makes sense when you realize that he's not seeing images of his friends and family. He's seeing images of Team U7, in moments throughout this tournament.

The movie is apparently about the origin of the Saiyan's so who knows what the fuck its gonna cover.

It's really strange world-building cause the franchise has never really cared about anything like that mostly unless it served a point like the Namekians due to their relationship to the Dragon Balls. For one we still don't have an actual name for Frieza's race.

Also yes from what I heard there are still production issues in Super even though its been a couple years already.

Dragonball Maximum

...I actually like this one.

[up] (3) It's funny to me that when Vegeta undergoes a self-motivating flashback he thinks to his family and to the people who have made a difference in his life.

Goku picks friends he's only started hanging around with again after several years, friends he's mostly coerced into competing in this tournament, and then lumps his mortal enemy into the mix.

Yeah the intent was him picturing U7, but seeing Freeza there and not Chi-Chi or Goten is laughable.

What exactly is leading people to believe a new show is coming afterward?

Because Toei loves money. Also there's some dangling plot threads like visiting Sadala.

And the various El Grande Padre memes that need to be resolved.

As well as the whole "are the Angels evil" thing that I seriously doubt is getting wrapped up in this arc.

Yeah there is a lot off stuff that needs to be resolved, one of which includes the remaining 4 universes.

We are getting another tournament arc after this, that is an inevitability.

I can't wait to see some stuff from the four exempt universes, especially if the U12 time machine comes into play somehow.

Lots to explore, yeah, but not a lot of available hands to explore them.

In a Western franchise, you'd probably had a bit of Expanded Universe going on, but it's not going to be a case for Dragonball, unless we get really REALLY original stuff from Dragon Garou and Toyotarou in the future, like A-Day-In-The-Life-of-Hit, etc...

(And yes, I do think a series focusing on Hit would be like Golgo IN DRAGONBALL)

That reminds me, I wonder when the next Dragon Room project will come out. The Case of Being Reincarnated As Yamcha was great, but it's been a while since then and there's been no word on what was supposedly an ongoing and consistent thing.

You know what would have been nice, maybe?

Goku getting Super Saiyan God in Battle of Gods, losing it, and then learning how to harness the energy as a Super Saiyan. Then, as time goes on, he learns how to do it as Super Saiyan 2 and then Super Saiyan 3. After that comes the hurdle of learning how to master the form to bring it out again.

Instead, Toriyama just has him master it instantly. Just like Ultra Instinct (sort of; Goku used it three times, but he mastered it in the same arc he got it is my point).

Dragon Room did the story and manga for Fusions, and I believe they're the ones who're doing the Prison Planet story for Heroes.

I think they had a plan for the angels, but have to save it for after the hiatus due to events getting in the way.

Something I just realized-Sorbet wanted to go to Namek to resurrect Frieza. However the Namekian Dragonballs can't wish either an individual or person back who's been dead longer than a year. The Earth Dragonballs can do this with an individual. So it would've been futile going there anyway

I'm also wondering what "longer than a year" would count according to the Namekian Dragonballs. Does it have to be specifically 365 days, 366 on leap years? Does it have to average itself to 1 year? Is it just that it has to be less than 2 years?

A Namekian year, which is apparently around four Earth months. They went over that when the Namekians were staying on Earth after the Frieza saga.

I don't like the idea of Goku having to 're-learn' forms he already posessed, even if the idea is learning something new in conjuction with them.

The progression is too predictable and the forms won't have the same impact they originally did. And it'd mean we'd know well in advance where things are going and just be waiting to get there.

#79225: Feb 19th 2018 at 4:37:19 PM

Now I'm wondering why they didn't have Goku just do what he did to master Super Saiyan with Blue. Not that the "staminia drain" ever seemed meaningful, but if they're going to keep bringing it up, it makes it conspicuous that he has once already done something to adjust to a form to make it feel natural.
