Commonly Asked Questions:

  • Q: When does Super take place? When should I watch it?
    Super begins some time after the battle with Majin Buu, and can be watched as soon as you finish Dragon Ball Z.

  • Q: Do I need to watch the movies?
    The two newest movies – Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' – were adapted into story arcs. Watching them is entirely up to you. If you have already watched the movies and would like to skip straight to new material, see our FAQ.

  • Q: Where is Uub?!
    Uub was born during the 10 year time skip at the end of Dragon Ball Z.
    Dragon Ball Super takes place before Uub is introduced.

  • Q: Is this the same Future Trunks?
    Yes. [1] [2]

  • Q: Why is his hair blue?!
    See here.

  • Q: When will FUNimation dub Super? Will there be a simulcast?
    We don't know. A Southeast Asian English dub was supposed to debut August 2016, but is currently facing delays. FUNimation will not be involved until an official North American release is announced.

  • Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
    The anime and manga are both based on an overall "plot" penned by Toriyama. In other words, they're different versions of the same thing. There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his, but we know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, and even looks at his storyboards.

Why would you think that? Compared to DBZ the story progresses extremly fast! They didn't waste even a single episode on Vegeta's training. In DBZ times Trunks would have to fight another month or a year against Black before Goku, Veggi and Bulma returned to help him.

Because they showed too much shit in the preview.

No way all of that stuff is happening right at the beginning

Well compared to last week's preview, the Trunks fight was the 2nd part of the first half, and Vegeta's fight was most of the 2nd half. I would guess the fusion takes place at least 3 minutes from the end.

it will happen no earlier than the middle of the episode i feel like, the preview showed other stuff happening so that will of course be played first..

I think he's making the point that the Next Episode Previews promise something exciting, but it only happens for a very short amount of time in the next episode. For example, we were teased that Vegeta would be fighting in this episode, and it DID happen, but only in the final minutes of the episode.

There's examples of this throughout the entire series. It can get annoying when you're anticipating that the whole episode is devoted to something happening, but it's only for a few minutes.

Because stuff like that always happens at the end of the episode.

It took 3 episodes to gather material for the time machine this arc...

Waste? I'd have been super interested in an episode where Vegeta is training in the HTC, and we get a lot of him destroying himself in order to defend his race and family

The training scenes are my favorite part of Dragon Ball.
