Unfortunately they totes forget the 'wise' part of his schtick.

Arguable at best. While he doesn't quite offer sage advice anymore, he doesn't need to, because his apprentices are now masters on their own right.

This is the man who's giving Krillin a home and expects absolutely nothing in return. Have a little respect. 'Pervert' is not all there is to Roshi's character.

I also like this idea. It feels like a logical progression for the series. And, unlike GT, it's not too much of a stretch to assume there will be characters stronger than Goku and Vegeta post-Ro F.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

I wonder how much more useless everyone other than Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma will become (I include Bulma because surely her reality breaking genius will come into play).

Super is retelling BOG and ROF's events.

Does that mean that these two films ended up in the long list of Dragonball films that don't fit in the timeline proper as well? [lol]

I ask the same question of the super dragon balls as I do for the black star balls. What's so extra powerful about them? The basic dragon balls can give you anything short of "kill the villain for me". What more do you need?

I have a message from another time...

A handful of characters leaving to explore untold reaches of the setting on an adventure to find new Dragon Balls scattered across the universe. Replace "Universe 6" with "the depths of space" and this sounds suspiciously close to the early parts of GT - the parts that caused the other parts of GT that sucked to happen because THOSE parts sucked even harder.

This does not bode well.

wild mass guessDragon Ball Super will be used to introduce the movie only characters into regular continuity, with their power levels adjusted so that there can be more diversity in some fights.wild mass guess

As for what the super balls (evil grin) can do, Shenron and Porunga still have limits. The former can only grant two wishes, can't wish someone back more than once, and can't wish back someone who died of natural causes, or it they've been dead for a full year. It also can't effect anyone stronger than it's creator. The latter, is more powerful, but still has the one year limit I believe, and can't seem to affect anyone more powerful.

Now, if the creator of the Super Dragonballs was powerful enough, it really could do anything, and might remove some of the other limits on it as well. Of course, there would have to be a price for this. We only see two wishes made on the Black Star Balls, so we never hear of any limits on them outside of the blow up earth in a year, and scatter across the galaxy rules, but considering the Black star balls could change Goku into a kid, when both Porunga and Shenron probably couldn't unless he wanted them to, I'd assume it wasn't bound by the more powerful than my creator rule.

Pfft, hahaha, it's hilarious.

At least it makes the original fight look badly animated in comparison, because there's a major improvement in the models for both characters.

I think they're doing it again because of Goku's new transformation.
