I mean Frieza's revival is a Sequel Hook. It's not like we're supposed to assume everything's hunky-dory.

That's something I noticed about Dragonball Super as a whole: with the exception of the Goku Black arc, everything that happened in Super seemed to be for the sake of setting up new stories, not being a self-contained story on its own.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, if the story goes in interesting directions. It's just rather curious and not something Dragon Ball's really done before, as far as I can tell.

Sounds about right. The other games didn't have any chance of being canon like Online. I still hope that parts of Online will be canon, like Gohan's book, Krillin reopening the Turtle school, and Goten and Trunks opening a sword-wielding dojo (although certain things don't really work as well, like Goku and Vegeta's final battle only producing the power of a supernova, which is pathetic at the level they're at now, and Goten and Trunks' claim to fame of cutting Katchin being MUCH less impressive).

yeah I liked that she gave him the boat she used for her party because I always thought it was a weird change. although he deserved it, did she really need to give him a boat that big? like the upkeep on that is gonna use up all his infinite stamina

He saved not only their universe, but multiple ones! 17 should be getting all the damn boats!

All the boats in all universes!

Also, now that the japanese version is done for now, it's pure dub for me. I gotta say, the funnest part is watching it with someone who doesn't know what's happened already. I'm doing that right now, and since we are in the Goku Black arc, seeing this person try and piece things together is fun.

Especially since we just had the reveal of Zamasu appearing alongside Black. Looking back, this was a fun mystery really.

[up][up]Dragon Ball Online being Exiled from Continuity is partly a relief.

Maybe they're doing a very slow-burn Heel–Face Turn arc for Frieza, and this tournament arc was his answer to Vegeta's Namek Arc. Still evil, but at least co-operative and gets a happy ending of sorts.

rewatching the ep, I gotta say I get why they did goku v. vegeta at the end, but I really feel it should have been beerus who goku was fighting

The dub is 70 episodes behind, I really hope the next show doesn't take that long to dub itself.

What happens first. Super Dub finishing or new DB?

I think someone said that it would take 70-some weeks for the dub to finish Super, based on however many episodes they have left, so the movie should come out first since it's coming out later this year and there are 52 weeks in a year.

I don't think it was really Funimation's fault that the dub is so far behind though. Apparently Toei refused to let them start on it until it could be aired on American TV, and Toonami was full-up for the next season or two at the time.

By the way, who is steering 17's boat?

I like to think 17's wife has sailing experience.

Moves function differently than the shows so of course it get dubbed faster cause you can show them in theaters now.

Man I am looking forward to watching the movie in the cinema. grin

[up][up]Real Talk though, i took Gowasu's smile to mean that he felt his faith in mortals validated.

Or He's happy to be alive, either/or.

[up]x5 Not quite, since Funimation at least acknowledged the Super Movie on their social media pages when it was first announced, unlike Battle of Gods or Ressurection F. Furthermore, during the reveal of the Dragon Ball Legends mobile game, a representative of the movie staff stated the film would be released worldwide "around the Japanese release".

Really though, I hope the next series ("a brief parting". ay Narrator?) doesn't have as much of a gap. Three weeks to a month behind, much like the Attack on Titan dub, would be fine for me.

[up]x3: Hey, I'm just glad Gowasu and Cus are doing some more videos at all. Their hiatus was killing me!

I'm a little disappointed we didn't see 17's family with him on the boat. I hope we get to see them eventually.

Okay, so Tights finally shows up at the ending party, Yurin continues to train at Tenshinhan's school, but Launch couldn't even bother to show up?!

Also, I find Freeza getting revived slightly amusing, only because this is probably the softest way of making the Post-End of Z events of from Toriyama's other DB spin-off, like Kuriza (Freeza's son), remotely canon.

Goku was perfectly willing to let Freeza go once he got bored of fighting him in Namek

So I'm not really surprised
