I honestly remember the series being longer than it actually is. Having watched it recently I was surprised at the episode count. But yes, you have a ways to go. It is a fun ride.

So glad a new series is coming, mainly because I like the current visual style better than the old and movie continuity has always felt wired to me. I am looking forward to hearing the music and score choices a lot.

The designs already exist from Dragonball Online, there is no excuse at this point. Super Saiyan Pan, being millions of times more powerful than her grandpa Hercule, nearly breaking the man in half with hugs.

How about that Pan will be less than 4, her age from the last chapter time skip? Seems like a good excuse.

Does Fox still have first dibs on the distribution rights in North America? I thought that this was the case, but with the English version of the movie coming out this year, I'm hoping that this is no longer the case.

I think the distribution rights were bought up by Fox. Not sure if it's just for movies which they have helped in Resurrection of F and Battle of Gods, and well made Evolution. I think for a series, I think that'll be licensed out to Funimation. If it has to go through Fox then they'll just give it to Funimation as they have for the movies as I would expect.

So this was a couple pages ago, but were they seriously thinking of making BoG's plot the loving Baby Arc again?

Yes, the plot was that Beerus (Virus) was the cause of the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta being evil in the first place, and he comes to earth to infect the Saiyans there, and then Goku turns Super Saiyan god (which is this intense ripply muscled caped form of Goku) to kill Beerus and absolve the Saiyans of all their crimes because it was just an evil virus you guys!

Toriyama came on and was like "Nah that shits whack, dude's Beers, his partner is whisky." And thus we got the comical Battle of Gods and a rather slim and ordinary looking Super Saiyan form.

According to interviews with the Battle of Gods character designer, Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the original concept for Super Saiyan God had the form being more muscular, wearing a cape, and with a hairstyle in-between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 4.

No pictures of it exist though.

Also just from looking on the Wiki

quote:

This form is attained by mastering the Super Saiyan God form.The first two to be able to use this form is Goku and Vegeta. This form was able to let Goku and Vegeta to fight on par with Golden Frieza, whose power level is over 100 quintillion. At 75% of their power Goku says that he'll be able to defeat Beerus, and Whis says that if Goku and Vegeta both challenge Beerus in this form, they might be able to beat him.

to be fair the actual source for this was someone asking Frieza's VA how high his power level was now. And the dude answering "I dunno about 100 Quintillion"

A hundred quintillion. Or, put another way, you know how much stronger Super Saiyan Goku is than Turtle? Golden Frieza is that much stronger than Super Saiyan Goku, times ten.

What are you talking about? Turtle is the most powerful character in the franchise. The fighting style Roshi taught Goku and co. is named after him for a reason.

That's 100% true though.

I've also been watching Dragon Ball for the first time, and I recently went through the Tien tournament. When he had his fight against Jackie Chun/Roshi, and Roshi decided that his time was over and it was time make way for the next generation of fighters, and he just calmly walked away in the middle of the fight, I started thinking "wait a second, I've seen this plot somewhere before... OH poo poo CELL GAMES". Goku very much did learn his parenting skills from Roshi.

Goku actually doesn't say anything like that in the movie. The DB wiki isn't very reliable.

It's from a pun Freeza's VA made in an interview about how since Freeza is such a nice guy ( ナイスガイ; naisu gai) his power level should be 100 quintillion (垓; gai). Nobody should be taking it seriously.
