Also this. :p
(SPOILERS!)So umm the latest episode of dragonball super was amazing! <3(SPOILERS!) You are warned!

I've personally been dreading Super for that reason, @Meguri Luka .
It can either totally erase the DBO canon, or totally cement it. I really hope it's the latter, as that would allow for a new author to come in, and create a whole new cast for new adventures.
-
I don't know.. I really like Towa as a character.<3
-
I like them both, but if Super wants to, it can totally get rid of the canon from DBO.. At the same time, it could lead in to it and we could actually see an adventure with Towa and Mirra as the protagonists.
Which is why I've been dreading Super.. I really, really want it to cement the DBO canon. It'll let Toriyama pass the reins on to another writer, and that writer will have a familiar world, and a chance to come up with some fresh characters and adventures.
-
True, but if they do that it's going to feel like there writing characters in, and them writing them out. Which seems almost lazy to me. Not using Uub or Towa, and Mira?
-
Well, Towa and Miira would be there. Since it would be making the canon of DBO official. Would give the (possible) new author a world to make new characters in, and give the fans the established protagonists of the two.
Uub, he'd be gone anyway, with it taking place 200 years after Z ended.
-
To be fair it would be very interesting to see a new set of characters in the anime... It's just hard to detach myself from Gohan, Goku, and everyone in the series. After growing up with the series, and watching Goku, Vegeta, and the others grow. I feel like it would be taking a special piece that dragonball holds in my heart. While goku is a complete idiot he also is what makes for comic relief, and can be serious when given circumstances, and Vegeta is the prideful one that will never accept that he is beaten, but what I like is those special moments when Vegeta does things unlike him, and beats up on Beerus because he hit bulma. What I am trying to say directly is new is good on some occasions, but with dragonball being such as generational thing... It's hard to let go of characters that you almost bond with, and in a way kind of looked up to. I actually thought of Vegeta or Goku as inspiration to do better when I told myself I couldn't do something.
-
I've grown up with it myself, but if Super continues past the end of Z it'll totally remove any shred of canon that DBO has, and thus make Miira and Towa both uncanon, in the way we know them.
The fan base seems split, many think the characters are hitting a point of "OK, enough is enough" and to a degree, I have to say they are right. At this point, the only characters that can do anything are Goku and Vegeta. Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Trunks.. Even Gohan are now just there and exist with the sole purpose to give Goku and Vegeta something to fight for.
Many other fans have the hard time separating themselves from the characters, to allow a DBO based story to happen for the series, which is fair. 30 years is a long time with the same cast. The change could end up making all the lead cast (for that new story) relevant again.
It's not unlike we can't love whatever new cast would come up, they didn't talk at all and some people love the characters from the DBO intro videos. Of course with it taking place in the Future, Trunks would still show up from time to time as Time Patrol Trunks, and the original cast would be referenced all the time. I mean, they are a big part of the reason the DBO player characters are fighters to begin with.
Not trying to change your opinion, just speaking mine.
-
Just to hop in, I second the idea of Vegeta putting an end to all of Zamasu's shenanigans. Because to say the least, Vegeta was killed by an energy sword. Which is lame as hell. I feel as though they get stronger but it never makes a difference.
A new cast wouldn't so bad, as long as they incorporate the original cast in it occasionally.
I like the discussion guys!
-
Welcome to the discussion :). I made note of the original cast being referenced because the Japanese culture is very different, and many of the cast have more years behind them than they have ahead of them.
If Nozawa were to pass for example (she's, going to be 80 next month... DON'T. YOU. DARE. 2016.).. Odds are they won't be recasting the character. Like when Tenshinhan's actor passed, Toriyama basically doesn't do anything with the character anymore.
So to give it a fresh cast and reference the old, would allow the series to continue on.
-
True. I guess my feelings for it would remain the same as long as they had a few characters from the original. My heart would be content with Gohan, Goku, Trunks or Vegeta, and the others... At least two of them.
-
Yeah, I wasn't opposed to that idea in the least :). I was just trying to, as a fan, provide an example of how the world and overall story of the Dragon Balls could be continued. While doing my best to fix the current issue of 'side barred' characters.
-
I can understand your point, and I do not appose it in any way whatsoever. Though those characters would be missed. : p
-
Oh, agreed. Next to Trunks, I'm the biggest Goku fanboy I personally know
-
Well.... Not going to lie I really like Gohan.
-
My little sister is the same way. Crushes on him hard.
-
well im also a Gohan fanboy i really wanna see him shine this series
-
Gohan is a cutie. c :
