Crazy prediction involving Dragon Ball Super


Recommended Posts

Ok, so the first part isn't so crazy: Dragon Ball Super as we now know it will air new episodes on Toonami for a total of 3 years. It has a total of 131 episodes, and last year we finished with Episode 44. That leaves 87 episodes, but we may get as high as 90 this year, which only leaves 41 for next year. It will be interesting to see how they compensate for that.

One possibility is a December 2019 return of the Month of Movies, which would logically feature the TV premiere of the new Broly movie. But that's not certain either. It could also be that new episodes air internationally in January 2020, starting with a TV cut of the new Broly movie, then advancing to all-new episodes of Dragon Ball Super by April.

There is also "Dragon Ball Heroes". It will be interesting to see if that comes to Toonami.

Yeah... I'm convinced Children Who Chase Lost Voices was a fluke, while Mind Game was an intentional exception for April Fools'. Toonami ain't ever doing movies again. On the other hand, early 2020 for them premiering a new Dragon Ball show does sound realistic.

And isn't Dragon Ball Heroes a short series? That's probably never going to air on our block.

Toonami crew has made a point that they won't touch movies with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole, so I highly doubt they would bring the movie month back.

They also made it clear they probably weren't expanding from 3.5 hours permanently, but yeah, somehow that does seem less likely, UNLESS they air Miyazaki movies once again, and they CAN since they're now all under the same GKIDS umbrella they got Mind Game from, not the House of Mouse.

But I'd say a whole month is unlikely, although by today's standards even Month of Movies II was a juggernaught!
