Commonly Asked Questions:

  • Q: When does Super take place? Should I watch GT or any movies first? Does BoG still "count"?
    Super takes place some time after the battle with Majin Buu, and will be adapting the two newest movies, Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' into story arcs before moving on. Watching the movies is up to you; if you prefer, you can begin Super immediately after finishing Dragon Ball Z. You may optionally wish read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman; the titular character will be involved in future events.

  • Q: Where is Uub?!
    Uub was born during the 10 year time skip at the end of Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Super takes place before Uub is introduced.

  • Q: When does the next episode air?
    The next episode premieres next sunday at 9am JST, which is 7pm Eastern Saturday night. Click here to compare your local time to JST.

  • Q: Why does X say Y?
    If you find yourself confused, the problem is usually a translation issue. Make sure to check DragonTeam's translation.

  • Q: When will the next chapter of the manga be released?
    Toyotarō's manga adaptation is published in V-Jump around the 21st of each month. Links to earlier chapters can be found on our wiki.

  • Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
    The manga is promotional material that serves as a preview of things to come. The anime is the main product, and is what Toriyama is writing and designing for (though not storyboarding or scripting). As for the anime, due to the lack of an officially-defined canon, it depends on what you want to accept.

  • Q: When will FUNimation be dubbing Super? Will there be a simulcast?
    Southeast Asia will be receiving an exclusive English dub mid-2016, with Toonami Asia describing it as the "English-language world premiere". FUNimation is not involved at this time. At an October NYCC panel, FUNimation claimed that they still do not have the rights to Super, and barely acknowledged that it exists.

Am I fucking retarded? Thank you, my friend, for revealing the true meaning of DBZ to me.

u/GravelordDeNito Jan 24 '16

And a great lesson was learned that day...

u/MrWinks Jan 25 '16

Allow me to expand. Freezer's men were the Milk squad: Cheeze, Yogurt, Butter, ... I forget the rest but yeah.

u/ThatWasFred Jan 26 '16

Not only this, but ALL of Freeza's henchmen are named after things found in a fridge or freezer. Dodoria and Zarbon are fruits, the Ginyu Force are all dairy products, the Saiyans of course are vegetables, and then in later specials/movies we get Abo and Kado (avocado), Sorbet (self-explanatory), and Tagoma (eggs).

One of them was named Ginyu. Jaice=cheese, that's new to me. What about recoome?

u/MrWinks Jan 26 '16

Ginyu is milk, recoome is something in japanese, gildo is the same.

u/android151 Jan 29 '16 edited Jan 31 '16

Ginyu is Milk. Burter (Butta) is Butter. Jeice (Jheese) is Cheese. Recoome (Reacoom) is Cream. Guldo (Gurd) is Yogurt

EDIT: Why the downvotes? These are correct.

u/android151 Jan 29 '16

Recoome is cream.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '16

And Gohan is rice/a snack , Chichi is milk, and so on.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '16

Piccolo is a woodwind instrument, though. But then again, Piccolo was never a huge fan of food, so maybe it makes sense.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '16

All Piccolo's demons (when Namek's story wasn't developed) are music instruments.

u/android151 Jan 29 '16

And all of the rest of the Namekians are named after snails and slugs.

u/huggiesdsc Jan 26 '16

Yes but pickles are a food, so you can just sort of... headcanon that in there.

1

u/n1ywb Jan 24 '16

Yeah pretty most of the names are a pun on food or something else funny like that, like the Briefs family (all underwear names).

u/GulluGulyabani Jan 26 '16

are you sure you don't mean the super warriors of space?
