The reason "canon" has meaning here is because Broly detractors have been lording over that for years, so it's kind of a middle finger for him to officially be apart of the main series.

Yes, it's stupid and makes no sense, but then that's 90% of the internet Dragon Ball fandom.

So the first thing I wake up to is Broly becoming canon(or official) and he kills Beerus. Either this is a nightmare and I should really wake up, or I should go back to sleep and escape this reality.

I think it's important to note that canon in Japan is treated way differently than canon in the west- where it matters way less over there.

Anyway I think Broly being introduced to the canon is hilarious. I always liked him so this has me excited too. Though i'm not entirely sure how I feel about the movies being firmly non-canon since they slid into canon pretty well already.

Shame that Beerus is apparently getting worfed [lol]

Beerus getting killed would actually be interesting. We'd have a real threatening villain, and Beerus/Whis aren't able to resolve things so we can have tension in the main timeline.

Broly being the one to do it would be obnoxious, though, but only because of his original fanbase.

Can't Whis just reverse time or revive Beerus?

I like Beerus, so him dying to hype up Broly kind of sucks but this isn't new for Dragon ball I guess.

[up][up][up] Why would he want too?

Let’s be real here, Beerus deserves it if he’s really gonna die.

I like the cat but the bastard has had it coming for a long time for being a self-satisfying bully only concerned with stuffing his face & sleeping while the universe he is supposed to protect deteriorated into a complete mess.

If Broly is the one to do it then all the more better because his death won’t even be a dignified one. [tup]

If Beerus dies, Whis goes inactive. So it'd be very dire for our heroes

And its not like Beerus hasn't been surpassed already, so him dying for his hubris with the Saiyans wouldn't be a bad thing.

All must die to the glory of the Saiyans.

The only thing better is Freeza becoming the new God of Destruction in Beerus's place lol.

And then Whis has to serve Frieza, only to troll him so much. It'd be perfect.

Didn't the old "Beerus getting killed" leak have Yamoshi be the saiyan and not Broly? I don't think they're that accurate anymore...

I'd rather Beerus not be fed to Broly, I don't think his fanboys would be able to handle that level of hype.

No. The rumours said that it was the new saiyan, with Yamoshi having a supporting role or a flashback. People started to call the villain M20 until it was revealed indeed that it was Broly.

Did some repair on that for you. No need to thank me...or you could just roll your eyes. That's also a fair reaction.

Can't Whis just reverse time or revive Beerus?

Apparently not since:

If Beerus dies, Whis goes inactive. So it'd be very dire for our heroes

Of that. That being said, how quickly does this inactivity take effect? If there's a moment between when it becomes official and when Beerus dies, then Whis might be able to do the time warp again before he shuts down.

Or more logically Whis turns back time before Beerus completely dies, then replays the scene to fake his death. We'll have to see how it goes down.

[up]Read the previous page.

The official voice and staff list is up:

  • Confirming [Kid] Trunks (Takeshi Kusao) and Aya Hisakawa's Bulma (listed as "Unknown", but it's a fair guess considering she voiced Bulma in a modern commercial since Hiromi Tsuru's passing.)
  • Bin Shimada reprising his role as Dyspo Broli.
  • Katsuhisa Hōki playing an unknown character (though he has played Paragus in some video games).
  • Norihito Sumitomo returning as the lead composer for the soundtrack, as usual since his tenure on Bo G, RF, Kai, and Super.

Yes. This pleases me on a deep spiritual level.

Not a hoax, but somehow not a surprise either. I guess that's what happens when you finally lose the nostalgia goggles.
