12''Dragon Ball Super'' is another continuation of the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' series, consisting of both an anime and a manga, with their plot framework and character designs handled by franchise creator Creator/AkiraToriyama. While technically not AnimeFirst, the manga and anime versions of the series run side-by-side, occasionally passing each other, with the anime usually ahead. The manga version began serialization on June 21, 2015, while the anime was broadcast in Japan from July 5, 2015 to March 25, 2018. Information on the former can be found [[Manga/DragonBallSuper here]].

14Taking place after the "Majin Buu" Saga but before the manga's DistantFinale, ''Super'' begins with a retelling of the events of ''[[Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods Battle of Gods]]'' and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF Resurrection ‘F’]]'', comprising the first twenty-seven episodes. The new story begins when Goku and the others must search for the [[TitleDrop Super Dragon Balls]] to participate in a tournament between universes to determine who acquires the Earth of Goku's world. This in turn leads to the start of new battles against much stronger opponents then they ever faced before.
