The new Dragon Ball Z TV series, Dragon Ball Super, could be up to 100 episodes if Toei Animation gets its way.
Spanish website, Mision Tokyo, posted some interesting new information they managed to gather about Dragon Ball Super.
They say Toei Animation has planned to make a minimum of 100 episodes for Dragon Ball Super. If things go well and the new Dragon Ball Z TV show is a success, they can increase this number.
Mision Tokyo also reports Japanese TV station, Fuji TV, plans to air Dragon Ball Super at 9am on Sundays. They note the target audience will still be for kids. The show might have the same style as the Buu saga and the recent Battle of Gods movie.
They also note Dragon Ball Super is expected to premiere on July 5th, 2015 in Japan. This is likely as July 5th is a Sunday and it was already officially announced the new show would air in the Summer.
The news about Dragon Ball Super lasting as long as 100 episodes should be treated as a rumor until Toei Animation makes an official announcement. Judging by how popular Dragon Ball Z is worldwide, the series is sure to have a lot of episodes. It’s been years since fans have been treated with new episodes and the demand is high.
The original series author, Akira Toriyama, is once again credited with the original concept, script, and drawing character designs for the film. In the September 2014 issue of the Weekly Shōnen Jump, Toriyama says that, although he did not plan on it, he is not only putting a lot of effort in drawing the art, but also "fussing over the smallest dialogue lines." He promises more action scenes, and teases that the story will be "utterly funny." To emphasize the effort he has put into this new film, Toriyama says that even his first manga editor praised him on the work he has done, even though this editor rarely ever does that.[4] The film tells a story brand new to the series, set after the events of the previous movie, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, with the series author writing it as a continuation of the Dragon Ball manga serialization.[4] In a previous interview featured in the March 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump, Akira Toriyama said that, in the event that there is talk of another animated film after Battle of Gods, he would like Vegeta to play the main role; however, he added that this is nothing more than intentions, and he had not yet made such a decision.[5] Additional news surfaced featuring a trailer portraying Frieza fighting Goku as well as a legion of Frieza's army being set loose.

In the movie that form didn't last long because he didn't need it once his body adapted to it. He then began fighting in super saiyan form.

I would like to see them expand on gohans role. It was implied that he could be stronger than his father but that never really went anywhere. As long as he has a good role in the new series I am happy with that I guess. And maybe we will get to see Gotenks again.

Hell to the yeah that would be the shiznit. Though I think it should be more of a game of thrones type story.
