The first cooler movie can kinda of fit.
-Goku is on earth
-Gohan is still like 5/6 in that movie, meaning they should be on namek, or at least Goku shouldnt be around
-Goku still has to be angry to be a SSJ despite easily doing it within a few mins of when he arrives on earth after Trunks kills Freeza

Is Toei doing the animation? :(

fuckin' called it, man
That Goku returns special was awesome. They put it out like a week after it was a part of the tour. You had to download their weird video player but when they released it on the internet it had english subtitles and everything. Or you could have just wait an extra day and have it show up on youtube.
 
What was also awesome about that Goku Returns special was the fact that it had a new Saiyan character show up (one who was related to an established character no less) and, instead of taking the shitty fanfic route of basically making him Broly but even more """"""""""awesome"""""""""", they actually make him a complete fucking wimp because he hasn't been at the epicenter of the fucking action like the Z Warriors have been. Tarble comes in asking them to help him defeat a foe that is as strong as Freeza and Goku's reaction is literally "sure, the 10 year old kids could use the practice." That's how far behind he fucking is.

The fact they're being so quiet on this has me slightly worried. It's only a few weeks away and we literally know jack shit about it. I'm starting to think this might've been a rushed project in response to Kai ending.

All the promo art for it shows reused Z era Goku art. I want to see how Goku looks in the new series. Will he uses the blue gi? The Revival of F gi? I just want something.
 
Except the extremely huge plot hole of Future Trunks sword was given to him by the same Tapion in that movie

It would be cool to see smoe of the gag characters like Onio, Nekko Majin, and Kuriza
The sword Trunks gets in that movie is the one he uses like twice in GT.

They're treating it as a sequel to Kai, that's why they're quiet. I've also heard from people on other forums (don't know if it's true) that it isn't super uncommon for anime to be dead silent until a month before release.

IIRC that movie came out before GT and it is HEAVILY implied in the credits of that movie that it is the same exact sword that future Trunks.

EDIT: But yea I know its the same one in GT, which is non canon in itself. Well at least non canon to the manga

I think the credits sequence was just supposed to be like "Hey, look, Trunks could grow up to be like his alternate timeline self!"

Gogeta and Dragon Fist also carried over from the movies into GT. And I think Cooler actually appears as a cameo during the hell breakout too.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

I really think that the writers had no idea Trunks and Future Trunks weren't the same character.
 
Doesn't Mr. Satan pay for anything else his family needs? I mean, it seems like Goku's life is almost entirely carefree.

And you get money if yo win the grand torunament, so I guess Goku should have a little bit of money of his own (
though he probably used all that for food...)

This is the first I've heard of this. Why no Funimation dub I wonder? :(

Licensing issues. The production committee for the 2008 special (and the two recent video game specials) is different than the usual for Dragon Ball anime. That piece of animation has actually never left Asia, outside of that brief period where it was officially streaming online with subtitles.

i hope they use the kai writers for the super dub.

kai is so damn good, please give us english buu. the new writing alone will save it.
 
Humor is ok, but I saw vegeta sing about bingo, and was like wtf. I hope we still get the seriousness and animations from cell/buu saga.

The Bingo song served a purpose, Vegeta was trying to distract Beerus so he wouldn't get mad, it was a point of character development to show that Vegeta now cares enough about Earth and his loved ones to throw away his pride to protect them. Beerus and Goku even talk about it in their battle and Goku mentions that he has a lot of respect for Vegeta for doing that.
 
Are you serious? I had no Idea. I've been a DBZ fan since I was a child and I always thught GT was a continuation. Thats f**king awesome!

GT was done by Toei animation with VERY little input from Toriyama, since Toriyama has come back to the series there have been many additions that completely ignore GT. Basically think of GT as a really long DBZ movie, it's a side story that is self contained that doesn't actually happen in the main series.

It suppose to be uncharacteristic dude was dealing with a god while goku getting his license was super dumb since piccolo wouldn't be scared of chi chi and wouldn't fit goku clothes.

true, although we forget that goku taught chi chi the special uniquely self destructive art of k-o-ken

u n0?
 
I think I said this earlier, but I want Master Roshi to be a powerful character in Super. Like, "can fight a Saiyan" powerful. I think it'd be really cool if this character, I dunno, became enlightened once he hits a certain age, and goes back to being the formidable opponent he was in Dragon Ball.

According to the Xenoverse canon, GT is another timeline.

Makes total sense, other timelines clearly exist in the DBverse.

What caused it? Who knows.

Roshi was formidable for one arc, when he was Jackie Chun. Literally every other fighter becomes stronger than him (his words)
