ANN cite error on Kimitoshi Chioka

There is currently a cite error for the citation on director Kimitoshi Chioka. "Cite error: The named reference ANN was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." I'm not sure why this is though. ANN also seems to be discouraged as a citation source, as per template:ANN. 217.27.230.205 (talk) 01:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit the name of Buu. Its Majin BUU ,not majin BOO - http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Majin_Buu. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikoscho (talk • contribs) 05:45, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

It's Majin Boo (魔人ブウ). Majin Buu is FUNimation's rendering of the name; same goes for Kuririn, Tenshinhan and other. Wikipedia uses original spelling. ProKro (talk) 10:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Facepalm. The correct transcription of "ブウ" is "Buu". "Boo" would be "ボウ"... --91.7.132.149 (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

@91.7.132.149: Common misconception. ブウ would be read as "Bū" with a prolonged "u" sound that English doesn't have. It more or less corresponds to the longer "oo" sound found in English, as in "boot", as per Hepburn; whereas "ボウ" would be read as "Bō", which corresponds to English "bow" or more closely "boh". A speaker of English might pronounce "Boo" as either "Bu" or "Bow"; while "Buu" has only one pronunciation, "be–yu". It's not the Japanese that is misleading in this case, but the FUNimation's rendering of the name. "Boo" is the closest English rendering of the author's intended written Japanese name.

Toriyama recently confirmed the plot of the series, which will include adaptations of Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' before transitioning into a new plot about the Z Warriors travelling to a parallel universe and searching for the Super Dragon Balls. His statement in full can be found here, with Kanzenshuu providing a translation. Given this, the plot section should be rewritten. (Also, "radish" is misspelled.) 136.181.195.25 (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Just saying "the plot section should be rewritten" is not a Semi-protected edit request. - Arjayay (talk) 15:37, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

B Agreed. Plus, the piece reads more like a description and from the author rather than an actual plot line or a synopsis. What could be done now, I guess, is to mention the fact that the series takes place after the events of the last anime and is tied to the recent films, but that's about it. The plot listed now is actually only a brief synopsis of the first episode. ProKro (talk) 15:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Reception

Kotaku source for that section feels like ordinary spam. It's not valuable source considering the level of "journalism" there. A anime-themed site would be much better.83.4.213.132 (talk) 16:42, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

It's an impression, opinion - therefore pretty much any is welcome, as long as it's from a stable, verifiable source that is usually allowed on the wiki. While I agree that a review from anime-oriented source would make for a good addition, there is none to be found as of yet, at least not a substantial one. Fansites are avoided, clearly. The show has only just started so it's safe to say that the section is going to expand in the coming weeks. ProKro (talk) 19:40, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Under the episode list, episode number 1's description the name of the character "Majin Boo" is misspelled. The proper spelling is "Majin Buu" and I would request it would be changed to reflect the proper spelling. TheGhostOfGrace (talk) 04:47, 10 July 2015 (UTC)TheGhostOfGrace

First Dragon Ball anime produced in 18 years?

The header says that Dragon Ball Super is "the first Dragon Ball anime produced in 18 years". This ignores Dragon Ball Kai and Episode of Bardock, as well as several of the movies. Shouldn't it rather say something like "the first Dragon Ball television series featuring new storylines in 18 years" or something like that? IchiGhost (talk) 21:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

@IchiGhost: I see what you mean. There is no point in discrediting Kai and other one-offs and specials that came after GT. While that somewhat cliched "new anime in 18 years" headline media outlets keep using isn't wrong as it seems an "anime" as a TV series, it is misleading in a way. Feel free to rephrase it as you see fit; the one you wrote seems fine. ProKro (talk) 13:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@ProKro: Thanks for the reply. I changed it accordingly. IchiGhost (talk) 18:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, i would like just to translate this page to my Croatian language, that is all. We also love DragonBall and i would like to have a wikipedia article for people to read Thank you Vickodragon (talk) 21:41, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Great to hear. You can get started by creating the page over at the Croatian Wikipedia. Stickee (talk) 04:57, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Manga Volumes

When should add the chapters and volumes to the page. Sage of the Six Paths (talk) 02:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Cast member section.

Should we have a section for all of the current cast members who are working on the show?Talltell (talk) 07:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

I think so. --Tv's emory (talk) 05:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Buu/Boo

Now that the English dub of Dragon Ball Super has premiered on Adult Swim, can we start referring to Boo as "Majin Buu"? DBZFan30 (talk) 01:44, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Timeline needs citation, otherwise it's synthesis/original research

FierceJake754, can you please provide the chapter citations or news articles for the apparent timeline you are assuming for the Plot and Setting of this article so that this is not WP:SYNTH or WP:OR? How do you know it's 10 years after the previous series, or one year after this or that? If they use year numbers, cite those instead of how many years since the previous. Otherwise that whole section is going to be tagged as original research and synthesis, like how DBZ people are calculating power levels beyond what is printed in the manga. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC).

Alright. Following the defeat of Majin Buu, six months later, Goku made a wish to Shenron for everyone to forget about Majin Buu and for him to start a new life a as a good guy. After that, 10 years have passed and Goku met Uub. However, Dragon Ball Super on the other hand, as well as Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F, take place after the ending of the Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z within the ten-year gap before meeting Uub. Even Dragon Ball Xenoverse reveals the same. [2] Buu Saga Age 774 [3] Battle of Gods Saga Age 778. Battle of Gods is about 4 years after the events of the Majin Buu Saga. But I will not add those from Xenoverse though. I'll add other citations on the article.--FierceJake754 (talk) 22:21, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

6 month doesn't make any sense, Videl is pregnant with Pan, Pan is 4 years in the final arc of DBZ, so this must take place 4-6 Years bevor the tournament. The Dragonball are used so that means, it must take place at last 1 year after the battle against buu (half year for the wish for undo what vegeta did, half year for the wishto erase the memory of buu).

Xenoverse, at last 2, say it is in the year 778 which make much more sense, the only problem is, that Bulma said, that she didn't see goku for 5 years, but that is a little plothole, so I change it to 4 years --SoranPanoko (talk) 08:28, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Toyotaro as the writer of the manga?

Since Toriyama just make a rough concept of the story and Toyotaro make the storyy and nearly everything else, isn't he also the writer of the manga? Many details came from him (like vegito) --SoranPanoko (talk) 03:18, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I agree that he is the writer, Toryama is the idea man pretty much. On that note, does the man have a full name? I only ever see him refered to as Toyotarou, I assume that this is his surname is it not, but hsould we not include personal name as well?★Trekker (talk) 18:09, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

someone who knows more should put up a whole page on Toyotaro. Isn't he the guy who had his own fan-manga, then got hired to do promo mangas for a while before super came out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:85:C101:EB4B:AD73:EAA5:B113:8877 (talk) 21:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

It is indeed confirmed, Toyotaro writes the manga, this has been stated in many interviews of both Toyotaro alone, and ones where he is alongside Toriyama. In addition, he also wrote and drew the fan manga, Dragonball AF (the most famous version of it, anyways. There are many others, such as the one by Youngjiji, which is comparable in popularity)

Final EP of Super is EP131

Will User:Nuobgu just knock it off already? We already have a reliable source that EP131 is the final episode of Dragon Ball Super. Why are we still waiting for the broadcast to finish? MizukaS (talk) 03:47, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

"Adventure" genre

The original series was an adventure series, but there's not much adventure in Super. The reference cited for the "adventure" genre only shows a Super Blu-ray listed under a combined "Action & Adventure" category—it doesn't provide support for the "adventure" label in particular. I think the genre should be removed. Languorrises (talk) 03:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Dragon Ball Super it's a revival

Dragon Ball Super it's a revival for Dragon Ball Z.

Production section

I find the wording of the production section confusing. The sources are all about the anime, but it's not clear from the text whether we're talking about the anime, or the whole story. As far as I know Toriyama is the only credited writer on the manga, but the text makes it sound like Toriyama is only responsible for a broad outline, and someone else actually does the writing.

I don't know anything about the topic, so it would be helpful if someone who does could revise it to make it clearer. If it's actually just about the anime, it should probably be moved lower down on the page. -- Walt Pohl (talk) 21:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

It should at least SAY in the article when it aired in North America

Since it's the English Wikipedia, it should be changed anyway to listing the North American airing exclusively in the opening section in my opinion, since we speak English here, and people interested in the Japanese language one can learn about it lower in the article. It's more important to English-speaking people that it says when it aired in North America than Japan. The Japanese one should be lower in the article. But it doesn't even say the North American airing in the article? Please fix this. 70.53.125.42 (talk) 20:53, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Master license for anime

According to Toei Animation US' press releases like this one you see here, Toei US actually hold the rights to the entire anime series. Funimation (aka Crunchyroll LLC) only has the home video/streaming rights and OkraTron 5000 (a studio owned by Christopher Sabat) had dubbed the series and films on Toei USA's behalf. Hope this helps. -Imperial meter (talk) 21:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Typo

In the Tournament of Power saga section:

"Goku attains a new form known as Ultra Instinct accesss to Mastered Ultra Instinct, allowing him to fight unconsciously."
