Dragon Ball Super: The Xtreme Review (Battle of Gods & Resurrection of 'F')

The ZONE Podcast: Nerdy News and Reviews

Is Dragon Ball Super the ultimate evolution of the franchise, or does it stumble under the weight of its legendary predecessor, Dragon Ball Z? Join us as we kick off our Xtreme Review series, dissecting the highs and lows of the Battle of Gods and Resurrection F arcs. We tackle fan reactions and our own mixed feelings about the introduction of godly figures like the Gods of Destruction and Zeno, and the debate over Super Saiyan God versus Super Saiyan 4. We're setting the stage for future conversations on the Universe 6 tournament and manga arcs that could make or break the series.
What's the deal with power scaling in Dragon Ball Super, and how does it stack up against other anime juggernauts like One Piece? We humorously unravel the Tournament of Power's chaotic energy, spotlighting exhilarating fight sequences while poking fun at Akira Toriyama's narrative choices. With playful comparisons between powerhouses like Arale and Luffy, and a critique of repetitive plotlines and sidelined characters, we reflect on the delicate balance between nostalgia and innovation that keeps long-running series fresh yet familiar.
Goku as an "endearing idiot"—genius or a major misstep? We scrutinize Goku's controversial portrayal and ponder the possibility of passing the torch to characters like Gohan. From Vegeta's emotional moments to Raditz's overlooked potential, we explore the dynamics of brotherly relationships and redemption arcs. Will Raditz rise as a Super Saiyan, or remain in the shadows? Tune in for a nostalgic ride through Dragon Ball lore, where we'll review how the movies, anime, and manga all bring their unique flair to the Dragon Ball universe.
