#141 - Four Tenshinhans

Yonin no Tenshinhan (四人の天津飯)

Synopsis

Tien splits his body into four separate Tiens, with a total of 12 eyes. Goku gets knocked down by their first attack, but used the opportunity to find the two weaknesses in this skill: the 12 eyes are too sensitive and each Tien is only a fourth as strong as the actual Tien. Goku uses Tien's own Taiyoken technique against him to blind the 12 eyes, and then knocks all four Tiens out of the ring for the victory. (Source: Wikipedia)

Plot

Sometime after the defeat of Majin Buu, peace has returned to Earth. Goku has settled down and works as a farmer to support his family. His family and friends live peaceful lives.[3] However, a new threat appears in the form of the God of Destruction named Beerus, who is considered to be the most terrifying and the second most powerful being in Universe Seven. After awakening from decades of slumber, Beerus tells his Angel assistant and teacher named Whis that he is eager to fight the legendary warrior whom he had seen in a prophecy known as the Super Saiyan God (スーパーサイヤ人ゴッドSūpā Saiya-jin Goddo).[4] To protect Earth, Goku transforms into the Super Saiyan God to fight Beerus by using the power of five Super Saiyans, which includes Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and the baby named Pan in Videl's womb. Goku shows an immense amount of power that is enough to impress Beerus. Despite losing, Goku's efforts appease the God of Destruction enough that he decides to spare the planet.

While Goku and Vegeta leave with Beerus and Whis to train for a year, the remaining remnants of Frieza's army arrive on Earth in search for the Dragon Balls to revive Frieza. A few months after coming back to life and training, Frieza gathers his forces and returns to enact his revenge on Goku. Despite achieving a new transformation called Golden Frieza, he is defeated by Goku and Vegeta, who have both mastered the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation. Frieza blows up the Earth in retaliation. However, with Whis's ability to manipulate time, Goku destroyed Frieza once again.

Champa, Beerus' brother and the God of Destruction of Universe Six, convinces Beerus to hold a tournament between the best fighters from their universes. Whis reveals that there are twelve universes in existence. The universe that Goku and his friends are from is called Universe Seven. Champa also reveals the reward for their tournament will be the Super Dragon Balls, which are planet-sized Dragon Balls whose wish-granting abilities are practically limitless. Champa intends to swap Universe Six's destroyed Earth with Universe Seven's for their cuisine. Goku and his friends join the tournament. Each match in the tournament shows different surprises and abilities. The tournament reaches its climax in the second-to-last match between Goku and Hit. After a failed attempt to lift the rules to face Hit in his full power, Goku forfeits the match. However, Hit forfeits the final match since he was inspired by Goku to do the same thing. The tournament concludes with Universe Seven's victory. Beerus secretly wishes for the Super Dragon Balls to restore Universe Six's Earth.

Goku later meets and befriends Grand Zenō, who is the Omni-King of all universes. Goku promises to bring him a friend to play with. Later, Future Trunks reappears and brings bad news of a new and powerful enemy that is a counterpart of Goku, who is known as Goku Black. Goku and the others eventually discover that Goku Black is actually a Supreme Kai apprentice from Universe Ten named Zamasu, who hijacked Goku's body from a different timeline as part of his plan to attain immortality and wipe out all mortals and gods.[5] In the end after a long ultimate battle, Zamasu is erased from existence along with the entire future timeline by Future Grand Zenō, who accompanies Goku back to the present timeline. Goku fulfills his promise to Present Grand Zenō by introducing him to his future self. Whis travels to the future to prevent Zamasu's rise to power.

Some time after Future Trunks returns to his restored future, Present Grand Zenō and Future Grand Zenō hold a new tournament called the Tournament of Power (力の大会Chikara no Taikai). At Goku's suggestion, the multiverse tournament features a team of fighters from eight of the twelve universes. However, it becomes a battle for survival when both kings declare that the universes defeated at the tournament will be erased.[6] Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, Android 17, Android 18, Piccolo, Tien, Master Roshi, and a temporarily revived Frieza join the tournament as representatives for Universe Seven to protect it. The Universe Seven team must battle against many formidable warriors from the other universes such as Universe Eleven's Pride Trooper named Jiren. During the fight, Goku briefly attains a new godly form known as Ultra Instinct (身勝手の極意Migatte no Gokui), which increases his agility and power. Ultra Instinct allows Goku to simultaneously attack and dodge without having to think of the latter.[7] The tournament ends with Goku and Frieza taking Jiren down along with themselves, which leaves Android 17 as the last remaining fighter and the winner of the Tournament of Power. He is awarded one wish from the Super Dragon Balls, which he uses to restore all of the erased universes. It is revealed that Present Grand Zenō and Future Grand Zenō expected the universes to be restored. If the wish was used for selfish purposes then both kings would have erased all of existence. For his efforts in the Tournament of Power, Frieza is fully revived and rebuilds his army. Goku and his friends return to their daily lives on Earth. While sparring, Goku reveals to Vegeta that he is unable to activate Ultra Instinct again. Goku and Vegeta pledge to become more powerful.

Some time after the Tournament of Power, Goku, Vegeta and Majin Buu are contacted by the Galactic Patrol who enlists their help to recapture a dangerous fugitive called Moro (モロ) who was being held prisoner for 10 million years after using his powers to extract the life force of countless planets. Their search for Moro leads them to New Namek, but they fail to stop his plan to use the Namekians' Dragon Balls to restore his lost youth and release all criminals in the Galactic Patrol's custody. Since then, Moro and the escaped convicts had attacked several planets together while Goku and Vegeta make preparations for their impending rematch against him. While Goku seeks for a way to master the Ultra Instinct, Vegeta sets to planet Yardrat, where Goku learned the skill of teleportation.

Production

In addition to his role as the series creator, Akira Toriyama is also credited for the 'original story and character design concepts' of the new anime originally directed by Kimitoshi Chioka.[8] Toriyama elaborated on his involvement with the 'Future Trunks arc' saying he created the story based on suggestions from the editorial department, 'As with last time, I wrote the overall plot outline, and the scriptwriters have been compiling and expanded the story content into individual episodes, making various changes and additions, and generally doing their best to make the story more interesting.'[9] In addition to new characters designed by Toriyama, other characters for the 'Universe Survival arc' were designed by Toyotarou, artist of the manga version, and a few by both.[10]

Toei Animation producer Atsushi Kido previously worked on Dragon Ball Z for a brief time during the Freeza arc, while Fuji TV producer Osamu Nozaki said he has been a fan of the series since childhood.[11] Morio Hatano, series director of Saint Seiya Omega (episodes #1–51), began sharing the series director credit with Chioka beginning with episode #28, before taking it over completely with #47. From episode #47 to #76, Morio Hatano shared the role of series director with Kōhei Hatano (no relation), another storyboard artist and episode director for the series.

Masako Nozawa reprises her roles as Son Goku, Son Gohan, and Son Goten.[8] Most of the original cast reprise their roles as well.[5][12] However, Jōji Yanami's roles as Kaiō-sama and the narrator were indefinitely taken over by Naoki Tatsuta as of episode 12, so that Yanami could take medical leave.[13]Kōichi Yamadera and Masakazu Morita also return as Beerus and Whis, respectively.[12]

The first preview of the series aired on June 14, 2015, following episode 164 of Dragon Ball Z Kai.[14] The next day, the main promotional image for Dragon Ball Super was added to its official website and unveiled two new characters,[12] who were later revealed to be named Champa and Vados, respectively.[15] A thirty-second trailer including the new characters was uploaded to the series' official website on June 26, 2015.[16]

The anime began airing on July 5, 2015 and was broadcast on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. on Fuji TV.[17][8] On January 19, 2018, it was revealed that Super's timeslot would be replaced with GeGeGe no Kitarō starting on April 1, 2018. According to Amazon Japan, the final Blu-ray set indicated the series' end at episode 131.[18] The series ended on March 25, 2018, with the conclusion of the 'Universe Survival Saga'. Fuji TV stated that no definite plans were made to either continue the series at a later date or discontinue it entirely.[19]

Reception

Anime reception

First impressions of the series' debut episode were mostly positive with the quality of animation being praised the most.[107] Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku praised the series' title sequence and said 'My middle-school self is so happy right now, you guys.'[108] Jamieson Cox of The Verge also praised the title sequence and said that 'Dragon Ball Super's intro will have you begging for its North American release'. Cox was also surprised that, considering how popular the franchise is, the series did not launch internationally at the same time. He called it 'a move that wouldn't be unprecedented' giving Sailor Moon Crystal as an example.[109]

The original animation for episode five (left) was widely criticized by viewers and was redrawn for Blu-ray and DVD release (right).

However, the fifth episode received harsh criticism from Japanese and Western audiences due to its poor animation style compared to the previous four episodes. These problems continued at episode twenty-four, and several more episodes onward. Dragon Ball Kai and Resurrection 'F' producer Norihiro Hayashida felt that the criticism was overblown. He said that people were criticizing the entire series based on a few bad sequences that were done by new animators. He went on to explain a quality decline in the anime industry that he believes is the result of studios cutting time given for post-production and not allowing for reviews of the final product.[110][111][112]

Despite this, the Champa Arc was praised for improving its animation. Episode 39 of the series was critically acclaimed for its improved animation and praised fighting sequences. Attack of the Fanboy reported that 'Dragon Ball Super' episode 39 may be the best installment of the series to date.[113] Goku and Hit's fight 'starts off explosively from the get-go.'[114] The Future Trunks Arc also garnered positive reception from fans and critics alike. IGN's Shawn Saris acclaiming Episode 66, stating that, 'Episode 66 of Dragon Ball Super has a few missteps but ultimately leads to a great final battle with Zamasu.'[115]

The final arc, 'Universe Survival Arc,' garnered much more positive reception than previous arcs. Several episodes such as 109/110 and 116 have been cited as some of the Super series' best episodes;[116][117] Despite this praise, Jay Gibbs of ComicsVerse criticized the series for its inconsistent narrative, having heard 'an explanation within an episode, then see that very explanation invalidated seconds later.' [118]

Episodes 130 and 131 were live streamed in various cities across Latin American countries including Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua for free in public venues.[119][120] The public screenings drew large record audiences, which included filling stadiums in Mexico and other Latin American countries,[121] with each screening drawing audiences numbering in the thousands to the tens of thousands.[122]

Even though the fan reaction has been positive, Dragon Ball Super has been criticized by fans for lacking the mild blood and gore that was present in its predecessor Dragon Ball Z. This is, however, due to the fact that the series is targeted towards a younger demographic than the previous installments, and as such, censorship would not allow such content to be shown on a television program targeted towards children.[123] A Dragon Ball Super episode received a major complaint by the Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization as the part of the story involved Master Roshi making multiple sexual attacks on the female character Yurin.[124]

In Japan, the manga's tankōbon volumes 1 and 2 sold 594,342 copies as of June 2017,[138] volume 3 sold 236,720 copies as of July 2017,[139] volume 4 sold 267,417 copies as of November 2017,[140] volume 5 sold 400,000 copies as of April 2018,[141] volume 6 sold 216,871 copies as of June 2018,[142] volume 7 sold 208,796 copies as of September 2018,[143] and volume 8 sold 314,269 copies as of January 2019.[144][145] This adds up to at least 2,238,415 tankōbon copies sold in Japan, as of January 2019.

Tom Speelman of ComicsAlliance noted that Toyotarou's condensed and altered versions of the Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' arcs made it a lot easier to speed through and added suspense. He also said that for the first time he could not decide whether the anime or manga was superior.[146]
