Ever since Dragon Ball Super ended, we were given news and glimpses of the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie, first it was only a short teaser showcasing a new visual flair and a mysterious new saiyan. Later on the movie revealed itself as a full blown blast from the past—the return (and canonization) of Broly in the Dragon Ball franchise, with an altered backstory to keep things fresh. The Legendary, maniacal saiyan from the post-Z era is back and he has never looked more powerful. Honestly, it was a welcome treat in the franchise, but also raised a few legitimate questions regarding the direction it’s now headed and how it gels with everything that we’ve seen from Super thus far. But it does seemed that the movie will be the biggest celebration in the franchise so far, with the fusion (no pun intended) of some of the coolest elements from the Toei-directed post-Z era with the cosmic setting of Super, so what’s not to love? Then came the confirmation th...

Last week's episode of Dragon Ball Super has given us a definitive hint that Goku may have indeed surpassed Beerus, once and for all. Many fans of the series (including myself) were on the fence regarding Mastered Ultra Instinct and how well it stacks up against the level of the Gods. And while many have speculated that Beerus may have the same level of power as well, since we've never seen him going all-out. But episode 129 has given us a subtle but strong indication that this may not be the case after all.     Right when Goku’s hair began to glow silver, Beerus asked Whis for confirmation whether Goku has attained the complete form of Ultra Instinct or not. Now it’s not just a simple banter between the two, it’s actually the most meaningful form of hint that we can get—if Beerus had complete UI himself, he didn’t need to ask Whis to verify whether Goku has reached the form or not. He could tell it all by himself, just as he did after Goku first tap...

Disclaimer: This article does not aim to take anything away from Vegeta as a powerhouse or as an overall great character. I am a fan of Vegeta as well and I believe he is one of the greatest and most developed characters in the Dragonball series. Rather, this article focuses on the fundamental differences between both Goku and Vegeta as fighters and how that affects the possiblitity of Vegeta ever surpassing Goku. And this is not about power levels either, as Vegeta can very well attain the Ultra-Instinct transformation in future as well. But it’s really not about how much raw power they have, it’s about who is the better fighter or who has more innate talent for fighting--this is what I think makes the most difference, cause their power levels are always pretty close to each other. Alright, since the title of this article is a hugely divisive claim, let me cut to the chase real quick and we’ll get to the explanation part later. So, the sole reason why I believ...

Dragon Ball: Super made it's debut in Japan yesterday with it's first episode and within several hours of it's broadcast on Japanese TV, the opening and ending sequence found it's way to the internet (via  SaiyanGamer93 and SaiyanIsland.com ) and I have to say if you're a fan of the series you'll find both of them absolutely delightful. Feast your heart out: In both sequences, there is a great mix of all the elements that defines the Dragonball franchise: the humor, the sense of joy and the action. The quality of the animation is also absolutely gorgeous----it's pretty much closer to Battle of Gods than anything we've seen from the series earlier. It all goes to show how much love and sincerity went in behind the new series. Of course, that's hardly surprising as Akira Toriyama himself is at the helm of Dragon Ball: Super.  Ain't it awesome? Alongside the opening and ending sequences, there's also a preview of the second ep...
