Dragon Ball Super

Super SCOOP!! #1
Dragon Ball Super is set slightly after the showdown with Majin Buu!

Dragon Ball Super is a gem of an original story, from an original draft provided by manga author Akira Toriyama-sensei! This series is a super tale that depicts what happens “afterwards” to Goku and the gang following the titanic battle with Majin Buu, and links up with the movies Battle of Gods and Revival of “F”!!

Super SCOOP!! #3
Already well-known from the movies!? For the first time, Beerus and Whis join the fray in a TV series!!

The God of Destruction Beerus and his servant Whis have already cut quite a figure in the two latest movies, and now they’re set to appear as regular cast members for this TV series! Far stronger than the likes of Freeza, Cell, or Majin Buu, Beerus will run amok in the new series!?

Super SCOOP!! #4
The illustrious main cast will remain as-is!!

Masako Nozawa-san (voice of Son Goku) and the rest of the main cast are taking part in this series too! Deeply familiar with Dragon Ball, these actors and actresses will breathe new life into Goku and the gang!!

Comment From Toyotarō-sensei
“Getting to see a new DB anime series every week makes me too happy! With this comicalization, I want to make my own small contribution to the excitement, so everyone please check out the manga, too!”

A Message From Akira Toriyama-sensei Has Arrived!!
You know, it suddenly occurs to me that somewhere along the line the Dragon Ball anime has become quite a big deal. Since I’m the guy who drew the thing, it’s a bit weird for me to say this, but when I first started out I never dreamed that the setting would move out into space (laughs). Don’t worry though, it’s still going to be the same sort of easy-to-understand content as always. Please be sure to watch Dragon Ball Super on TV!

New “Dragon Ball Super” Character Revealed: “Champa”

His Name is Champa!!
Revealed in the main visual!! Who the heck is this new character “Champa” that’s next to Beerus…?!

The name for the corresponding attendant-type character seen along with Champa on the official website has not yet been revealed.

The world is finally at peace with Son Goku having defeated Majin Buu. As Goku is stuck working a tractor, Goten runs up with lunch. Goku is surprised to see his son who should otherwise be at school, but it’s actually Sunday. Goku takes his lunch break and leaves the tractor work to Goten. Having regained his strength, Goku begins to daydream about fighting strong opponents again, moving his way from Freeza to Cell to Buu, all the while acting out his attack motions. Goten, distracted by Goku’s “training”, drives the tractor off a cliff. Goku quickly saves his son, and expresses his desire to go train with Lord Kaiō… but Chi-Chi would never allow it. Goku has to work to make some money, since even the Ox Demon King is broke now! Just then, Mr. Satan arrives.

Meanwhile, off somewhere in the reaches of space, an alien race tries to appease Beerus, God of Destruction, with an elaborate meal. The aliens appear confused when nothing happens after Beerus drinks up. Smirking, Beerus lets the aliens know he could tell it was poisoned, but something like that would never affect him. Trying to cover their tracks, the aliens next bring out their special soup, “Soup Yasai Jinkot”. Though Beerus pauses at the name, he has already made up his mind: the planet will be destroyed. Hearing this, the aliens arm themselves in an attempt to fight back, but Beerus casually blows them and the rest of the planet to smithereens. Whis comments that Beerus has destroyed them just as he planned, but Beerus is preoccupied with a dream he just remembered.

Back on Earth, Goku is overwhelmed by the amount of money Mr. Satan has offered up. The 100 million zenny prize money came as a reward for saving the world, but Mr. Satan feels that Goku and the gang are the ones who truly deserve it. Goku is still overwhelmed by the amount and initially refuses, but when Goten explains that it’s enough money for Goku to be able to forget about work and go train, that’s all he needs to hear.

Beerus remembers the name from his dream: “Super Saiyan God”. This “Super Saiyan God” person is someone to rival even him… or something like that, anyway. As Beerus and Whis decide to return home, the Kaiōshin have watched Beerus destroy a planet and worry about what’s to come.

“Soup Yasai Jinkot” (スープ・ヤサイ・ジンコット) is a play on “Super Saiyan God”, which is why it prompts Beerus to remember the figure from his dream. The word “soup” (スープ) sounds like “sūpā”. The word “saiya” (from the race name, Saiya-jin) is an anagram of yasai (meaning “vegetable”, normally written 野菜, but here written in katakana as ヤサイ). “Jinkot” is a meaningless, imaginary word, but clearly recalls the “jin” in Saiya-jin, while “kot” sounds similar to “god”.

Yes !
