The Knock-Downs
Thanks to fans, English-speaking otakus can sift through some of the duo's specific answers to Misión Tokyo. As you can see here, Chioka and Sakurada were asked directly whether heroes like Yajirobe would reappear, but the staffers simply said that decision would be up to whatever is in Akira Toriyama's draft.
As the interview continued, the pair gave the 'Draft' answer a few more time. When they were asked if Cell would return or why Gohan had become less important, they differed to Toriyama's story outlines. The same went for how Goten and Kid Trunks will factor into the anime's future and if any more tail-based transformations would appear.

Chioka and Sakurada were not afraid to pass questions off by drafting them, but the pair did give different answers for a few queries. When the duo were asked if another One Piece crossover special could happen, they said such an episode isn't impossible. The same answer was given when Misión Tokyo asked if another History of Trunks or Bardock special could happen.
So far, Dragon Ball Super has yet to roll out any specials like those seen with Dragon Ball Z. The anime's most recent special simply contained Goku's long-awaited battle with Jiren, but fans have asked Toriyama to expand the anime with specials for some time now. There are many who'd love to see Universe 6 expanded up with a special or even the Gods of Destruction if given the chance. So, if fans are lucky, Toriyama may be mulling over the pleas behind the scenes these days.
