Dragon Ball Super

After Majin Buu's defeat, Earth enjoys a hard-won peace while Goku tends a radish farm and his friends settle into quieter lives. That calm shatters when Beerus, a capricious God of Destruction, arrives looking for the prophesied warrior known as the Super Saiyan God. The show reworks the events of the Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' films, then pushes beyond them with fresh material, introducing new deities, timelines, and a multiverse tournament that raises the stakes. Expect fast-paced battles, evolving power levels, and a mix of humor and peril as familiar characters adapt to threats that dwarf anything they've faced before.

First broadcast in 2015, Dragon Ball Super was produced by Toei Animation and adapts earlier Dragon Ball films before expanding into original arcs that explore alternate universes and new mythologies.

The series left a big mark on pop culture, renewing global interest in the franchise. Moments like the Super Saiyan God transformation and the multiverse Tournament of Power became staples in memes, fan art, cosplay, and livestream debate, while licensing and merchandise surged worldwide.

Critics and fans generally reacted positively, reflected in a strong user score and lively online discussion. Reviewers often praised the energetic fight choreography and widened scope, though some pointed to uneven animation quality and pacing in parts of the run. The show leans into themes of rivalry, growth, family bonds, and the idea that strength comes from training, friendship, and surprising alliances.

While Dragon Ball Super didn't sweep major international film awards, it did generate recognition in anime community polls and year-end lists, and its popularity showed up in festival panels, fan-voted rankings, and industry attention. Its influence has kept Dragon Ball a headline franchise and encouraged more multimedia projects in the series.
