In fact, the popularity of Dragon Ball Z was such that advertising never stopped almost two decades after this legendary series. Toei Animation therefore decided to take advantage of this success and release a new sequel called Dragon Ball Super, which quickly became one of the most popular anime of the moment.
With all the arcs of the saga already created before, the story in Dragon Ball Super can also be a source of division among fans (see our TOP 10 Worst Episodes of the Dragon Ball Super saga last week). It is still undeniable to see that the series still excels in its particular way of approaching a new plot of the story of the Saiyans and of adding new characters and villains. Here is an Explanation of the Spoilers in Dragon Ball Super which deserve clarification! 💡
10. THE EXISTENCE OF A GOD OF DESTRUCTION
The Dragon Ball Super saga needed a new reference in terms of power and villain, Toriyama and Toyotaro both decided on the perfect solution to overcome this lack: create a God of Destruction who would be so powerful that n No other character, Saiyan or not, can dethrone him. It was at this moment that the evil Beerus appeared, taking the appearance of a feline, obviously very attracted to earthly food. 🍜
In the logical continuation of the series, making Beerus the first real challenge that the Z-Fighters had to face in a long time made him an excellent benchmark to measure Goku's new power. And by the way, speaking of that…
9. THE INCREDIBLE SUPER SAIYAN GOD
The reveal of the Super Saiyan God form was incredible in every sense of the word, allowing fans of the Dragon Ball saga to relive the nostalgia of witnessing a new, powerful and incredibly aesthetically pleasing Super Saiyan form. ✨
Although the manner in which the Super Saiyan God form was unlocked by Goku was a little less impressive than one might have expected, the fact is that the power levels the saiyans were able to achieve through it were extended once again. In particular, it will allow Goku to compete effectively against Beerus , the god of destruction. 💥

8. THE RESURRECTION OF GOLDEN FREEZER
It goes without saying that Frieza is one of the most iconic villains in Dragon Ball history. He also has a pride of place in our TOP 15 Dragon Ball Villains . His villainy and mischief led Goku to harness his inner power and awaken the Super Saiyan transformation that has become the franchise's signature element to this day.
So it makes sense that a revival of the Dragon Ball franchise would also bring about the rebirth of Frieza into his Gold form, who trains for the first time in his life to unlock a new form that goes beyond anything previously known. he had been able to accomplish before. 📈
7. WHO WILL KILL GOLDEN FREEZER?
Of course, the only thing that could manage to compete against the overpowered Golden Frieza would be another transformation that could rival this new form of power. While it's true that it's disappointing that the Super Saiyan God wasn't on display again, fans certainly rejoiced that another form that transcended the previous transformation was in full swing during the Frieza bow. ❄️
The advent of the Super Saiyan Blue form was a treat for fans, allowing them to witness another massive power leap as their two favorite Saiyans continued to break their own skill limits: Vegeta and Goku .
6. THE MERGER BETWEEN SUPER SAIYAIN BLUE AND KAIOKEN
If Super Saiyan Blue 's form wasn't amazing enough on its own, the fact that Toriyama decided to add back some fan-favorite techniques that had fallen into obscurity should certainly be commended too, right? The benefits of this decision are seen in the combination of Super Saiyan Blue and Kaioken , which Goku managed to develop against Hit during their incredible fight. 🥊

When first appearing in front of Beerus and Whis , the Super Saiyan Blue form was not as advanced and had a 90% chance of killing Goku if he was unable to master it. However, the transformation still encounters some side effects, Goku experienced problems with controlling his Ki for a few days.
5. THE DEATH OF BULMA
Although the Dragon Ball Super saga was generally entertaining, most fans agree that the combat violence was toned down a bit compared to Dragon Ball Z. However, after the events of the Trunks arc of the Future , we can't really say the same anymore! 😵
Indeed, the opening few scenes set the tone for this incredibly dark arc, with Bulma becoming one of the many victims of Zamasu and Black Goku 's rampage. Witnessing Trunks' helplessness when his mother passes away in such an unceremonious manner is one of the most heartbreaking moments in Dragon Ball Super history. 💀
4. THE INTRODUCTION OF SUPER SAIYAN BLUE VEGETO
It turns out that the combined might of Zamasu and Black Goku has been beaten - literally. Indeed, if you remember correctly in the Dragon Ball Super saga, in order to defeat the power of these two fused fighters, Goku and Vegeta decided to wear theirPotaras to merge in the form of Super Saiyan Blue Vegeto . 💎
The fight between Vegeto and the fused Zamasu was an excellent encounter in every sense of the word, which allowed us, the fans, to enjoy a power fantasy never seen before in the entire saga.
3. THE Z-FIGHTERS AND THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER
The Tournament of Power arc is undoubtedly one of the greatest moments in the Dragon Ball Super saga. It introduced a host of unique and powerful characters that will give the Z-Fighters a lot of trouble. 💥
The high stakes of this tournament also created some iconic scenes to watch: the declaration that Zen'o would erase any universe that was eliminated from the tournament made for an entertaining arc with some of the best fights (and animation) in Dragon Ball Super for miles around, and those for our greatest happiness! 🥰
2. GOKU’S INCREDIBLE ULTRA INSTINCT
Ultra instinct is a form that had been stated a while ago, with Whis constantly mentioning how important it was for Goku and Vegeta to stop thinking and get their bodies used to fighting. The imperfect version of this form appeared twice in the Tournament of Power - once against Jiren and the other time in a memorable clash against Kefla. ⚔️
Fans eagerly waited for the mastered version of this form to make its long-awaited appearance and it finally reared its ugly head against Jiren in a battle for eternity. Watching Goku miserably wipe the floor against him in this form was incredibly satisfying, especially when Jiren revealed himself to be an incredible entity rivaling the power of a destructive god. 😲

1. Z-FIGHTERS VICTORY
Universe 7's victory in the Tournament of Power was something obvious in hindsight, but the trials and battles the Z-Fighters went through were incredibly rewarding for the saga and for the fans. 🏆
With the victorious Universe gaining the ability to wish for anything it wanted, C-17 decided to do what was right and wished for all other Universes that had been erased to return to existence. It was also quite predictable, right? The fighters of Universe 7 were the good guys all along, after all. 🥰
