The original Dragon Ball series brought joy to anime fans in the early 1990s and subsequent generations. Although Dragon Ball Z concluded in 1996, it was nearly twenty years later that a continuation was released—provided that one does not consider Dragon Ball GT, the unofficial continuation that appeared in 1997. The return of the saga in 2013 saw the heroes of Dragon Ball make their return in a new universe titled Dragon Ball Super, through the film Battle of Gods released in cinemas in 2013. In this adventure, Gokû and his friends meet Beerus, a destruction god wishing to erase our planet. In order to be on equal footing with their enemy, they will have to tap into new sources of energy within themselves.
Although this film was the origin of renewed interest in the saga (three films have since been released, as well as two animated series), Battle of Gods is nevertheless considered by fans as one of the worst among the approximately 20 feature films in the saga. Critics point out in particular the low quality of the animation, as well as a story deemed too simplistic and an overabundance of action and transformations at the expense of any coherence. Despite the involvement of the manga creator, the late Akira Toriyama, in the writing of the script.
The series that will reconcile fans with the 2013 film? More than ten years after the release of the film, Toei, which produces the saga, has decided to make amends with fans by offering a new version. Retitled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, this remake takes the form of a mini-series including entirely new scenes as well as a revised story. In summary: an improved version of the 2013 film. And to reassure fans, this new anime is just a taste of the upcoming resumption of the Dragon Ball Super series.
The animated series, which has been on hold since 2018, has not adapted the entire manga, and after nearly ten years of waiting, fans will finally be able to discover the continuation of Gokû and Vegeta's adventures. Until then, fans of the franchise have an appointment starting October 11th on the ADN and Crunchyroll platforms, with one episode per week.
