That isn’t to say that the series ever waned in popularity… as what is undoubtedly the most recognizable anime franchise in the entire world, Dragon Ball had permanently supplanted itself into the collective conscience of fans everywhere, leading to countless cosplays of fitness-focused fans trying to replicate Goku’s physique (and, less successfully, his various hairstyles) while online forum members would argue the internet’s oldest debate of whether he could beat Superman in a fight (although lately it’s been One Punch Man’s Saitama that tends to be pitted against the Super Saiyan).īut it was the recent revival series, Dragon Ball Super, that managed to take the limits of the franchise’s popularity to new and greater heights, much like the lead hero and his quest to go beyond his limits in strength. (In a similar vein, “F” can’t happen in exactly the same way in the manga’s continuity, but you’re meant to have seen that before starting the manga too, as the broad strokes of its events still happened.The Dragon Ball franchise came back in a really big way recently.
(You miss out on the Pilaf gang’s role, for example, and they’re around moving forward-including the Mai-Trunks connection the film starts.) You’re still meant to have seen the film, and those first four chapters serve as an intro to the U6 arc while recapping its highlights with a few key “okay, but these small tweaks have been made on top of what you saw” bits. On the other hand, it isn’t meant to totally take the place of watching the film, since it doesn’t cover everything that happens in it. or even not that picky, since that affects things on a pretty broad surface level moving forward). In the strictest sense, no, as the minor changes made to its events in the first four chapters are meant to continue to apply in the manga moving forward (the most/only substantial one of which is Goku not absorbing the Super Saiyan God power into his lower forms, if you’re picky about power-scaling.
