IF THIS IS A 'LOST' THREAD I'M PROBABLY WHINING ABOUT
STABBEY THE MEANY
Two other spoilers.

Potential rumored summary of the first manga issue:

quote:

Basically. Goku imagines fighting Freeza/Cell/Boo while farming; Goten's off from school and is helping him out. Satan shows up and offers him money from the world peace prize (kind of sounds like the DB Earth equivalent of the Noble). Goku refuses at first (he wasn't the only one who fought Boo after all, and even Satan did his part), but finally agrees to accept some of the prize when Goten points out that with it, Chi Chi will probably allow him to stop farming and go off and train at Kaio's.

Meanwhile, out in space Beerus is having a big meal prepared for him by the inhabitants of some planet scheduled for destruction (the idea apparently being that he'll spare the planet if he likes their food). The aliens poison the meal, but it doesn't work on Beerus. Ultimately Beerus destroys the planet as scheduled, but the name of one of the dishes (the "Soup Yasai Jinkot") rings a bell with him: it reminds him of the "Super Saiyan God" from his prophetic dream. Beerus and Whis decide to head back home, so that Beerus can try and remember better. Meanwhile, the Kaioshins are keeping tabs on Beerus: East Kaioshin notes that a planet has been wiped out, while Elder Kaioshin has an uneasy premonition.

So, Goku seems set to head to Kaio's to train, while Beerus only knows of Super Saiyan God from his dream. In other words, all signs point to this being a prequel to (possibly an alternate version of) BoG.

A few more details:

Goten's off from school (since it's Sunday), and has brought his dad some bento. Goku has Goten drive the tractor while he eats the bento. Once it's finished, he turns into a Super Saiyan, then closes his eyes and imagines fighting Freeza/Cell/Pure Boo. While he does this, Goten drives off a cliff...so Goku saves Goten and the tractor (the tractor he throws back up to the top of the cliff). Goku says he's training in case someone strong like Boo ever turns up, but Chi Chi wants him to work (cue "mom's the real strongest in the universe" joke from Goten). Goten says grandpa Gyuumao is out of money, but Chi Chi thinks Goku ought to be able to get a job that would earn some money, like Mister Satan. Goku says he just likes to train.

And who should show up at that moment but Mister Satan himself (speak of the devil)? He wants Goku to have the 100 million zenny peace prize he received for beating Boo, since he doesn't feel he deserves it. Goku has to have it explained to him that 100 million zenny is 100,000 zenny one thousand times over. This freaks Goku out, and he doesn't want such an insane amount of money. Then of course he agrees when Goten points out that with the money, he wouldn't have to work and could just go to Kaio's to train.

With the Beerus/Whis stuff...I think I already covered everything. Beerus isn't terribly upset that the aliens try and kill him with poison (he mostly just thinks they're stupid for believing poison would work on him). Yet he still destroys their planet anyway, something he matter-of-factly announces ahead of time after trying their "Soup Yasai Jinkot"(the aliens then try and shoot him, but obviously that doesn't work either).

And the name of the new character:

quote:

"彼の名はシャンパ!!" His name is Champ (Shanp)!

Curious to see how this translates into English, as we already have one Champ!

I hope the whole thing isn't a prequel to the new movies.. I want them to catch up by the end of the first arc. We know everyone is happily alive by the first movie, so if there's no credible threat, then new baddies won't be as entertaining to me. It's the same reason I can't get into network shows anymore. These actors are under contract for multiple seasons, you're not going to kill someone off, so they're automatically going to win every fight and survive every gunshot.

The real issue I have is that, despite knowing that the Dragon Balls will always be magical reset buttons, there's no chance for real drama when you know all of the cast makes it out of Super alive/unchanged because the epilogue of Z has them all showing up, and there's no new characters either. Toriyama drew an image of the full cast (minus a few people like Launch/the Kaios) in their epilogue appearances. I'd really like it if Super kind of plays catch up at first and then has a time skip to post-epilogue so we can see Uub and Pan grown up, as well as Goku and Vegeta showing off SSGSS.

Everything we hear says that it goes into and past the new movies.

The most likely progression is: works its way up to BoG, Bog happens, works its way up to Revival of F, Revival F happens, then all new stuff.

I posted battle damaged SSJ Goku, but not SSGSS Goku since it had been announced for a while. I have the original release Trunks (:c00l:), base Goku, SSJ Goku, SSJ Gohan, and I have Piccolo and SSGSS Goku on pre-order at BBTS, but none of the Vegetas. He's not my favorite character, but I know I want at least one version of him. I think I'll pick up his Cell Saga AND SSGSS versions because I hate money. The SDCC exclusive Goku and battle damaged SSJ Goku are too good to pass up. I think I'll probably end up with every Goku figure because, again, I hate money.

I'm going to a convention in a week so I'll be on the look out for any other figures I might want, but I'm pretty happy with not collecting the villains apart from the arguable Beerus. I'd love a Krillin, but I'm on the fence about SSJ3 Goku, Ultimate Gohan and Vegetto. I like the Buu Saga a lot more than I remember, so if I can find them for reasonable prices, I'll grab 'em, but as it is, I'm happy with the ones I have.

I was about to ask what are the chances we might see Pikkon during this series and then realized how weird it is Dragonball skipped straight over the other four cardinal directions of it's own dimensions for story arcs and villains to just jump straight in to other dimensions. I suppose it makes sense since Freeza was apparently the strongest in this universe and all, but poo poo, Buu was already lurking around there even giving Cell a pass as something that wasn't around at the time, so you'd think they'd have done something with the other Kaio's and parts of the universe at some point really.

Who is the new character that the second spoiler mentions anyways? He doesn't appear to be mentioned at all in the first, so do we know what role he has or anything?

I hope what they do with some of the episodes is show some extended stuff of the movies, like Pilaf's own quest for the Dragonballs, or Mr. Satan trying his best to distract Goten and Trunks from noticing all the powerful auras on the planet.

Goku is Bulma's -- one of the world's wealthiest people -- oldest friend and has saved her more times than Goku can count. How the hell does he need a job? I know he isn't a moocher and that may play into it, but you'd think Bulma's birthday gifts to Goku alone would be enough to keep him financially afloat, if the prizes for her Bingo! tournament were any indication.

And now he's literally a billion times stronger. This is the only way to make sure he doesn't accidentally crack the planet in half when he spaces out. Because he's gonna space out, he's Goku doing chores.

Still, good to see those driving lessons came in handy.

Did you forget the Great Saiyaman saga? Either Chi Chi is too prideful, or Bulma is stingy in giving money because they were clearly broke and was the only reason why she let Gohan purposely fight in a tournament.

Mr Satan forms a Sentai team, with himself as the lead using the Z fighters to help promote himself as well as enrich the rest of them financially thanks to lucrative merchandising rights. Krillin, Goku, Mr. Buu and a very reluctant Piccolo fill out the ranks. They go around rescuing kittens, putting out fires and doing other rather mundane hero jobs, the rest of them training hard while Krillin trains Mr. Satan, eventually teaching him to fly and throw a kamehameha wave or something so that he can look cool as hell for the cameras and help him bond with the group and with Gohan, the teams accountant and manager to boot. Videl and Gohan can be the team's extra members, debuting just in time to help them out in them out of some minor jam. Mr Satan eventually takes on some mooks alongside the rest in the first big brawl.

Who doesn't want to be saved by "The Satan Force" after all?
