And so an enormous chapter in Dragon Ball history starts closing its final pages.

DBZA's impact on the franchise cannot be understated. It kept the fires on while the official source laid dormant, and honestly introduced a whole new generation to the silly magical alien martial arts manga.

You are not alone.

They've stated on multiple occasions that there's a good chance DBZA will not be able to continue beyond this point. Toei simply will not let it happen.

I can think of a few overexposed memes, but otherwise, I'd definitely say for the better. It really introduced me and my generation, I think, who wouldn't have really gotten into Dragonball otherwise (since it wasn't on TV anymore).

I'll be as dramatic as I very well can be.

But yeah the chances of it continuing past the cell games are very slim. At absolute best, we'll have a loooong hiatus.

Also, I'm pretty sure TFS is an actual dubbing company now, so whatever work they have in the future would get in the way of DBZA and vice-versa. I do say though, it's been a crazy decade since it began. Back when it first started, we never thought DB itself would actually come back so this was the next best thing. And it did introduce a lot of younger people to the franchise within what I like to call "the unknowingly super-hiatus." (1997-2013)

Plus, that Unmei no Hi cover was fucking lit.

Understandably so. The series is Kaiser's baby. It just might not be possible.

Cell's dismissive comments about Earth(in canon) have always come off as odd since he's an Earthling. Sure, his DNA is alien and its the Earth of another timeline, but he was created on Earth by an Earthling and spent his entire life there. Even if he is a sociopathic narcissistic and Omnicidal Maniac, him putting extra scorn on him own homeworld always came off as weird. Frieza isn't that derogative to Earth, and he didn't even visit until after Namek

Presumably that was what gave him the extra scorn in the first place. Namely such a pathetic world being the place of his creation. No less illogical than all those villains that go "humans are evil and deserve to die" despite being humans themselves.

I thought it was just Toriyama trying to make him more of a Hate Sink, though officially(as in "the TV Tropes character page") he's not regarded as one. Though I have a hard time believing Toriyama didn't want to make Cell irredeemable and monstrous given he made the supposedly pure evil android twins more nuanced while Cell is the standard "pure evil villain" mold

Amusingly Vegeta's likely killed more people than him, and he doesn't even have the excuse of needing to complete his programming. Though it is worth noting that both of them seem born evil(Cell was designed to be a weapon of mass destruction and Vegeta's part of an Always Chaotic Evil race), but Vegeta becomes a better person while Cell doesn't even consider it

Huh I just realized this after reading a You Tube comment on a Gohan does high-school baseball video.

The time Gohan goes to school is one of the few anime high-schools that doesn’t have a uniform code.

It’s amazing how shocking that is.

All Systems Goku episode on History of Trunks.

They don't like it. They don't like it at all. They think that Gohan comes across really poorly as a teacher. They think society still existing with the Androids makes no sense. They think that the fight scenes are lackluster, and Gohan dying in particular is really anti-climactic. They think that the animation and dub are terrible, though they acknowledge that they're used to the crisp animation and good dub of Kai. They think that History of Trunks doesn't have enough time to tell the story it needed to tell properly, that it skips over all the interesting stuff with excessive timeskips, and that Trunks looks really pathetic at the end of it.
