Toei/Toriyama/whoever should just do what they clearly want and make Goten and Trunks a couple.

More Future Trunks

Okay, that's rad as fuck.

Problem is all of Goku and Vegeta's kids/grankids lack the fighting spirit. Gohan became a scholar, which is the equivalent of a janitor in the DBZ world. Goten had his chance but ended up as a wannabe Hugh Heffner. Trunks was on course and had some potential until GT when he took the backseat to Goku. Pan never even becomes a super sayain. Bra is Bra.

They needed a kid that wanted to follow in their footsteps and become a strong fighter till the end, not giving up when they turn 13 and deciding to live life as a Yamcha

Hence why Goku goes off with Uub. Too bad GT squandered that.

 

[Unknown One]

That's all after Goku's death though (when he starts losing strength due to his death approaching and then decides to have a final match with Vegeta, where both disappear). So, we probably won't ever see it in any Dragonball series even if they decide to stick with the DB Online future.

Vegeta is Goku's true waifu.

I've been using that as my phone's lock screen. That artist is mint.

Unlike Gohan, we didn't get to see Goten and Trunk's upbringing as teenagers. So I'm wondering if their general disinterest in fighting is due to them not caring or due to them not having to care after Buu died. Why would they train after Buu if nothing happened after Buu?

Martial arts tournaments and such? Facing world destroying threats isn't the only reason to train. The humans trained just fine back during Dragonball, without any goal in mind aside from besting their rivals and winning tournaments. Most only stopped in DBZ due to being left impossibly behind by the aliens.

 

[Dereck]

Those tournaments are yearly right?

This is the best fanart

The world martial arts tournament is every 3 years

Real talk: a lot of the DBZ filler was actually pretty fun and not as bad as people make it out to be.

i think people were way too pessimistic about it. i liked icarus, the return of mercenary tao, snake way, gotenks vs fat buu, etc

There's no excuse for Fake Namek that's gotta be filler in its purest form, which is a giant waste of time where nothing actually matters or even happens.

Especially if you compared it to the Big 3 right now. Naruto is garbage in terms of fillers and there is so much of it. Hell the series is in filler mode still when the manga ended a year ago. That 100 episode continuous filler hell *Shutters*

 

[Dereck]

Ummm...why

Milking their cashcow before it goes away. The studio sucks ass. The animation quality is straight up garbage.

Could be worse, could be Toei. They have some incredibly talented animation teams on board. But it's only ever so often it really shines.

The filler is really bad though and also very unnececary. They can finish up the show, do the Gaiden stuff and then make their own successor a la Dragonball GT if they so desire. (if possible)

Holding the main story up like this is just such a sad state of affairs.

I personally think Toei is a better studio. Studio Pierrot hardly even shows up. The last time they showed up was Kakashi vs Obito I think. I'm still seriously pissed off that Naruto's 9-tails mode unleashing episode was utter dog shit for such an important moment.

Glad Toei made the SSJ2 Gohan unleashing episode worth it.

Its so terrible how such successful shows get handled so poorly. Naruto has had 8 Canon episodes this year...8!! And one pieces pace is so damn slow. Than i watch something like one punch man andi die inside because it's so beautiful

At least Super has had a pretty good pace, especially the post BoG stuff so far. Hopefully they can keep up a good pace once we get into the original material.

The computer age has not been kind to Toei.

Yea im actually surprised how quickly they picked up after bog

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Pierrot did the Yu Yu hakusho anime though, so i can't hate that.

 

[Ultra Numb]

Hopefully from this new arc, everyone feels "important" - in a hunter hunter esque way.

For as much shit as Togashi gets for not finishing his work at least he does that. Even YYH was like that.

 

[Daingurse]

Toei straight up ruined Toriko. Ruined.

Yep I like that about Togashi's works. He tries to find ways to make characters relevant.

Nah, Bob Ross did that.

Well, I'm sure at the very least the Universe 7 team will all feel pretty important.

Hopefully.

In HXH I often feel like other characters besides Gon could carry not only the arc but the story going forward. I haven't really felt that with Dragon Ball in a long time.

Only filler that was legit bad was Fake Namek and Garlic JR. Everything else was decent or actually added to the manga, like everyone helping Gohan with Cell.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I don't know, it decreased over time but I felt the characters were still pretty relevant at least until the Buu saga. Only the minor guys from dragon ball became phased out but most of the time it was a team affair.

Counterpoint.

I felt like the Cell Saga was the best one for this.

Even scrubs like Tien and Krillin were getting actual stuff to do.

Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho!


(And thus ends Tien's work in Cell Saga)

Couldn't resist.

 

[Real Hero]

I don't care about charcters becoming irrelevant or less prominent aslong as they are being replaced by new and interesting characters. That happened with charcters like oolong, roshi and yamcha etc as the series went on and will inevitably continue as charcters like beerus and whis become main characters

 

[TheAwesomePossum]

Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho! Shin Kikoho!

BUT IT WAS BADASS AS FUCK. Tenshinhan is easily my favorite human character tied with Kuririn. Kuririn is the strongest human tho

 

[Althane]

Couldn't resist.

He shows up and is KO'd by Buu, I think. So there's that.

Anything else that I'm forgetting?

Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, Whis, and the new guy will probably be the main cast for a bit, along with maybe some new peeps from Universe 6. Hopefully Piccolo and Buu stay around for awhile.

He kicks ass in the 1,000 soldier fight in F.

 

[TheAwesomePossum]

I wonder what will happen to Yamcha. I want him to have his own comedic one-off episode in Super, similar to Vegeta. Maybe Toei can play off the idea Toriyama proposed of him being an employee in a host club until he flirted too seriously.

Nothing. We will just forget about him. He doesn't deserve the time or thought.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I don't like tien's new outfit for fights. The clothes are awesome and they look great, but in a fight it feels like it would be unwieldy. Big ass baggy pants and baby sleeves. That shit would totally get in the way in a real fight.

 

[Althane]

Yeah, but so does everybody else. Nothing that really stands out.
