Read the full take

Dragon Ball Super picks up after the saga that defined the franchise, and it swings for a bigger, cosmic scale. A bored hero is looking for a challenge, and a god of destruction travelling across the universe stumbles on a legend that changes everything. The premise is a fun excuse for new battles and new characters, and the dynamic between the god and his attendant is a highlight. The action is bright and loud, with the cosmic stakes adding a sense of wonder. The honest cons: the fights can run very long, and the plot leans heavily on tournaments and power-ups that will feel familiar to longtime readers. Some arcs can feel padded. Still, it is a crowd-pleasing return that delivers spectacle. If you want more big, brash Dragon Ball action, this will scratch the itch.
