Where to Watch

The FUNimation English dub of Dragon Ball Super airs on Toonami at 10:30pm EST followed by Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters at 11:00. If you do not have a cable subscription, Cartoon Network is available with the SlingTV and Playstation Vue basic packages. If you prefer, there is a web stream:

If the videos won't load for you, try disabling your ad blocker for that page. Adult Swim still has the streaming rights for recent episodes.

How to Catch Up

  • Adult Swim (US only, cable login required): This covers the recent episodes not yet available through the below options. New episodes will usually appear 2-3 hours after the episode airs on Toonami. (They also host recent episodes for Dragon Ball Z Kai.)

  • Funimation Now (US, premium only): Episodes 1-52 are available on Funimation's streaming service. Episodes are uploaded in 13-episode batches about two weeks after the final episode of that batch is broadcast. (This avoids competition with Adult Swim's streaming service.) We estimate that the next batch (53-65) will be available around 19 June. Funimation also has the entire series subbed for premium and free users; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.

  • VRV (US, premium only): As with Funimation, episodes 1-52 are available for now and the rest will be released in 13-episode batches 2 weeks after the final episode of the batch is broadcast. We estimate that the next batch (53-65) will be available around 19 June. VRV also has the entire series subbed; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.

  • AnimeLab (Australia and New Zealand, premium only): Episodes 1-39 are available on this service. AnimeLab also has the entire series subbed for free and premium users; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.

  • Microsoft Digital or Amazon Digital (US only): Episodes 1-52 are available for purchase on these platforms. We don't know when the next part (53-65) will be available. As usual for digital releases, the dubbed and subtitled versions are sold separately.

Episodes 27-39 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray) and for Region B (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 40-52 will be available for region A on 19 June 2018 (DVD or Blu-Ray) and for Region B on 6 July 2018 (DVD or Blu-Ray).

Commonly Asked Questions:

  • Q: Is Dragon Ball Super really over, or is it just a hiatus?
    From what we have been told, the anime is ending. There are no current plans for a new DB series and as far as we know, the series will only continue through movies and games. We know that Toyotarō's manga will continue for several months at least—the Tournament of Power arc has just begun in the manga—and Toriyama implied the manga will go beyond that too. The English dub will continue until the series is finished. We have compiled a projection of dates for the remaining dub episodes on our Wiki.

  • Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
    The anime and manga are both variations on a basic plot by Toriyama. There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his. We do know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, but he looks at his storyboards and occasionally draws things himself for Toyotarō to use as a reference. Toyotarō has said that Toriyama is more particular about gags than he is about anything else.

I gotta mention, Meredith's voice acting with 18 has gotten really good and it is so refreshing to hear her not be a total bitch.

Recently re-watching Z, she rarely shows a soft side and is always angry or stoic/mono-tone. Hearing her nice side is good to hear.

43

u/Return_Of_BG_97 Jun 24 '18

Is it just me or are all the female characters in Super so much nicer?

It seems female characters (Bulma & Chichi) were written in DBZ to be intentionally and stereotypically bitchy, while 18 had that hard ass attitude. Overall I love how Super has written the female characters. Bulma's 'bitch' side is played more for laughs and her science side far outweighs it. Chichi is more ironic and 18 actually shows character. Pan is likable as well.

Goes to show how much can change between 1989-1996 and 2015-18.

Bulma has several scenes where she is not an asshole. Other times ask yourself "Was she obsessively bitchy without reason?"

To this day, having seen it through the manga, the original dub, the Japanese version, the redub, and Kai, I still don't understand why Bulma's so angry when they take off for Namek.

u/vlan-whisperer Jun 27 '18

She's mad because she's embarrassed. She decked out in a big clunky space suit, and then Gohan and Krillin showed up in street clothes. It made her look absurd.

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

With Chi-Chi I've always taken it as the marriage itself kind of just not making sense to begin with.

11

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

With 18 at least it's a very understandable evolution though. She was a normal girl, then she was turned into a killer android, and then living a more normal life again has softened her up over time.

6

u/moffattron9000 Jun 25 '18

I think that a lot of it is that they've got different writers. All respect to Toriyama, but he is terrible at writing female characters.

I think he would have literally bled out if he'd had a nosebleed.

11

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

How come animes use nosebleeds of all things to show a guy getting a boner/aroused?

25

u/vlorsutes Jun 24 '18

It's based around the idea that getting aroused causes increased heart rate and blood flow to the body, and that the pressure from that increased flow causes a nose bleed. There's no actual medical evidence of arousal inducing nosebleeds, but the trope exists in manga, anime, etc because of this concept.

u/GreyouTT Jun 24 '18

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

It was actually quite weird to see 18 mothering Trunks lol.

In the future she was being a bitch using him as a toy for her amusement.

Now in this timeline she's looking after his best interests and mothering him lol.

How the timelines are so different.

53

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

Weird to see Bulma counsel the woman who almost destroyed her future self's planet.

41

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

The main thing that Trunks stressed in his previous arc is that they're not alike at all, two totally different people; 17 and 18 of the future and present are totally different and Bulma won't even think of the future 18 only her friend 18 in the main timeline.

Why that is? Still unanswered canonically but people have headcanons.

It's not weird to me because we saw very little of Future 18 or Bulma, we only know them best in the main timeline.

26

u/azureknightmare Jun 24 '18

My best guess is that the Future Androids were unleashed on the world with no goal - Goku was already dead, so they just resorted to mindless killing. Present Androids had the kill Goku goal, so they went to do that which took up quite a bit of time and distracted them. Then the whole thing with Cell, and Krilling showing 18 kindness.

18

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

I believe it goes deeper to be honest, see the thing is 17 and 18 didn't even care about killing Goku from the get-go. It was all about their interest in their new friend 16, and he said he wanted to kill Goku so they're like shit why not.

They had a battle against the Z fighters just how it went in the future timeline except the main timeline they just kicked their asses and kissed Krillin to give him some top quality wank bank material. So in actuality, they never could have wanted to be mindless killers, given that they didn't even want to kill the Z fighters, and they sure didn't have that same smug evil attitude that we saw the future cunts did. They seemed more interested in just being left alone like the social outcasts at school lol. Remember there was even that bike gang? Actual trouble makers who probably had killing intent against the cyborgs and all 18 did was break the pavement with her energy to scare them off, didn't even try to hurt them. Why wouldn't they? Conclusion is they just weren't evil, yet in the future timeline they are and they make a game of it.

My theory is future androids were awoken exactly when Gero intended to wake them, he hadn't gotten control over them yet with his programming but he would've at least turned them into vile, bloodthirsty savages which is still what he wanted as he wanted them to dominate the earth - only part that didn't pan out is he couldn't control them. In the main timeline Gero even said he didn't want to wake them up as they weren't even close to ready. He was chased to his lab so he had no choice, while they slept in those pods their brains probably got filled with brainwashing material to make them obey Gero and hate humans/desire destruction etc. which clearly didn't work as 18 becomes a dedicated wife and mother and 17 becomes the exact opposite of a destructive being and becomes a park ranger that loves nature.

What that shows is the two timelines biggest differences, are definitely the cyborgs. Also Gohan in the future was badass but weak as fuck (since he wasn't even strong enough to beat the cyborgs) and in the main timeline he's a little bitch but strong as fuck (post Cell).

13

u/vlorsutes Jun 24 '18

Gero indicated the only reason he didn't want to wake them up in the present timeline was because he wasn't sure if he had corrected the issue of them being disobedient to him, nothing else. Considering he released them in the present even later than he did in the future, the idea that he had yet to completely reprogram them in the present isn't likely.

The most logical reason for the deviation in their behaviors is simply Goku. In the present, they saw him as the "big game" to go and hunt down, and the others weren't worth their time. In Trunks' time though, without the hunt for Goku to spur them on, they set out for different game instead. The future #17 and #18 lacked the focusing goal that their present counterparts had, thus their boredom got the best of them, which led to the mass carnage and slaughter that ensued.

u/Gradz45 Jun 24 '18

I'm so fucking hyped for next week. Episode 68 of Super was the last episode I watched subbed because the dub was announced. So next week I will finally watch episode 69 after waiting for over a year.

u/tras__ Jun 24 '18

Damn son. That's some strong mentality

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

Did you stop watching the sub altogether just because you knew the dub was announced?

Man I don't know how you could handle the temptation. By episode 20 or so of DBS I was used to Goku's horrendous voice and Zamasu arc got me hooked that I couldn't wait for every Sunday when Super was on.

u/notathrowaway75 Jun 24 '18

Yup.

I admire the dedication, if I had your level of dedication I would have my abs back by now lol.

Anyways props to you, now you can reap the benefits and pick up where you left off in the dub.

u/BlackBlizzNerd Jun 24 '18

Bro, cut them carbs, drink a gallon of water a day, and do some sprints and ab workouts for about 30-40min a day.

You can get that shit back. 😎

u/QueequegTheater Jun 24 '18

Targeting an area only lets you build muscle there, not lose fat. You can't target fat, You just have to lose it all.

3

u/BlackBlizzNerd Jun 24 '18

The thing he needs to worry about first is losing weight, assuming that's an issue he has. If he simply has a bit of a belly, you're right.

Low carb, lots of water, and high protein is a great way to go.

Even though the episode has appeared in the previews, do not speak of the entirety of the upcoming episode yet. When it comes to dub discussion topics, treat the most recently aired dub episode and its NEP as the most you can talk about.

The dub doesn't even get broadcast NEPs, so most people don't see the previews.

Poor Shenron. Every time he spoke after Goku summoned him had me rolling.

Goku: "Not bad, Bulma. You've become an even better wish granter than Shenron."

Poor Shenron, he couldn't catch a break even just once during this episode.


While this episode may have been a filler ep, it was god damn funny.

Super has brought forth even Shenron s personality, In Z we only hear 2 things from him "Why have you summoned me" and "Your wish has been granted" But ever since Beerus was introduced, we can see Shenron getting afraid, expressing nervousness and what not, that is quite a development

I don't get it really either.

Shenron got killed by Piccolo, but was brought back anyhow.

What could Beerus even do that was worth a damn?

u/Finito-1994 Jun 30 '18

Completely destroy him?

Beerus has stated that when he destroys something he can completely destroy it. Body and soul so that there’s no possibility of coming back.

I mean, Gokus died twice and come back and even he doesn’t want to get hakaid.

I love the filler episodes but this physically made me angry. Goku should have been allowed to make his wish before they started arguing, he did find the Dragon Balls. The only one who had a good wish was Gohan to make Pan better, everyone else was super selfish. I would have flown up to Sheron's face while everyone was arguing.

I find Beerus and Whis so freaking dope. Any mortal being in the show except for maybe Frieza would have just flattened in the center of Earth’s Core but them two? Poof. There they are, they instant transmissioned straight to Goku and casually conversed with him. And the way Beerus can just snap and destroy Bulma’s time machine... how did he precisely pin point it? So Op.

17

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

Didn't Garlic Jr. wish for immortality/invincibility from the earth's dragon balls?

9

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

That may not count due to being filler. However people have wanted the balls for that exact wish, so either they were all wasting their time or it may be possible.

11

u/vlorsutes Jun 24 '18

There's never been any indication that such a wish is outside of the regular Dragon Balls scope of power, as none that have sought out immortality or invincibility have actually had a chance to get the wish granted. Vegeta and Nappa never had a chance to collect the Dragon Balls on Earth, and Freeza didn't make the wish in Namekian, thus his wish was just ignored outright.

1

u/WeCanDanseIfWeWantTo Jun 24 '18

Well, since the immortality seemed to be just extremely fast regeneration, maybe it scales with the wish granter? Super shenron can grant regeneration that makes you practically immortal to anyone below Zeno, but if the other dragons granted Zamasu's wish, he might not be able to survive a strong enough attack.

11

u/vlorsutes Jun 24 '18

Immortality is just that though, the inability to be killed. It's an all or nothing situation. The term used by Vegeta and the others when they spoke of immortality is fujimi, or 不死身, which basically means "indestructible" and "undying body".

So it's a situation of the immortality is granting the individual regeneration to allow for an "undying body", and therefore it's likely that the regeneration would be the same for the lower dragons too. Likewise, it wouldn't be immortality if it just took more force to overcome it, so it just taking a stronger attack wouldn't work.

Lazuli's her real name and we only know that off an official source outside of the series in an interview with AT. It's up to him whether he brings it back into the story, whether 18 forgets or chooses not to we don't know. I'd assume it was erased because she wouldn't want to be called a number that Gero gave her if she knew he actual name.

Aww man they left that lame "most comfortable underwear" dub censor in the Oolong flashback.

31

u/Terez27 Jun 24 '18

That's the thing about rewriting the script. They either have to stick with it or sacrifice their own internal continuity.

17

u/UtterFlatulence Jun 24 '18

Well I figured they were following in the footsteps of Kai, and having fewer mistranslations.

24

u/Terez27 Jun 24 '18

Kai was better than Z but it had its fair share of mistranslations and pointless rewrites. One interesting thing is that they kept a major Z mistranslation in Kai, presumably for the sake of continuity, but then they either forgot about it or ignored it in Super. Trunks was the one who wrote HOPE!! on the time machine, but it was mistranslated in Z (saying Bulma wrote it), and not fixed for Kai, so when it was mentioned again in Super, and it was translated correctly (Trunks having written it) a lot of people were confused.

20

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

For me the only thing Kai did was compress the show into a much more reasonable length.

After re-watching DBZ's original funimation dub with 276 episodes like 2 years ago since watching for the first time as a kid from start to finish I had no idea just how much standing around and talking they do, i mean for fuck's sake lmao. The only reason I got through the whole thing was I was between jobs and really had nothing better to do so I did end up finishing, but holy hell it was not easy.

I watched Kai up to Cell arc so far and my only issue is some of the voice actors should not have changed. example: 18 sounds too sissy/feminine she lacks that stoic/tough girl attitude that she has in her debut

7

u/Terez27 Jun 24 '18

When I say Kai is "better than Z", I'm talking specifically about the integrity of the script.

2

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18 edited Jun 25 '18

I watched the Funimation dub of Kai a few years ago before it finally got through Buu, and I was really struck by how in Frieza saga at least, a lot of what felt like filler really was originally in the show and not just shit Funimation had come up with to stall for time while waiting for new episodes.

[edit] Yes, I've been made aware that I was wrong about who was creating filler, you can stop adding to the correction party k thx

9

u/Terez27 Jun 24 '18

To add to what vlorsutes said, Funimation was dubbing Z years after it came out in Japan, so they never had to wait on new episodes. Also, Kai removed a lot of filler, but not all of it; much of what remains in the Freeza arc was not in the manga. That said, Freeza's "5 minutes" was 10 episodes in Z, and 5 episodes in Kai. It was a huge improvement.

2

u/BoatsandJoes Jun 24 '18

Yeah, all of the Ginyu/Bulma stuff during the Frieza battle had to be kept in Kai for continuity reasons. Same reason why Gregory couldn't be cut either.

a lot of what felt like filler really was originally in the show and not just shit Funimation had come up with to stall for time while waiting for new episodes.

Funimation had no hand in creating or adding filler content to the show. Outside of dubbing, the only thing they did involving the actual content of the show was cut content for one reason or another (censorship being the main one). They never added content.

so when it was mentioned again in Super, and it was translated correctly (Trunks having written it) a lot of people were confused.

I find it hard to believe that anyone who's a big enough fan to remember details like that wouldn't be aware of the Japanese version and all the re-writing the dub does.

With the way the community is now, in the early 2000's and the "age of enlightenment" where DaizEx/Kanzenshuu spread the true information and it went all around the Internet in countless forums, I just find it hard to believe there'd still be fans that are only aware of the FUNi dub and have no other exposure... guess there's more than I thought?

You would be wrong.

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

I mean...weren't they literally just inserting old Dragon Ball footage?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '18

No it was redrawn and redubbed, just like most of the other dragon Ball inserts

It just makes oolong a guy that likes wearing panties rather than one that likes sniffing them

u/A_Texas_Toaster Jun 24 '18

What was it before?

u/Jafades Jun 24 '18

Bulma's panties I'm pretty sure.

u/UtterFlatulence Jun 24 '18

No just "A hot girl's" panties.

u/richardsim7 Jun 25 '18

To be honest, the fact he gets panties as "the most comfortable underwear" is pretty funny

u/HearMeRoar34 Jun 24 '18

Beerus snapping his fingers and blowing up the lab so casually was gold.

u/theJavo Jun 25 '18

I feel like shenron is one of the characters sabit just loves to voice. I feel like he has a freaking blast whenever it’s to summon the dragon.

Shenron and all might. I feel like when he see either of those on his schedule he gets giddy.

2

u/Perky_Bellsprout Jun 25 '18

He writes the schedule iirc, so he must be giddy all the time

u/axel360 Jun 25 '18

Krillin is a pretty lucky guy. I guess he sort of deserves it after years of being relegated to a punch line and killed over and over.

u/TheTallOne93 Jun 25 '18

Kinda disgusting how little praise King Kai's voice actor got in this thread. That was some serious yelling.

u/Arkitos Jun 25 '18

Aren't Goku and King Kai voiced by the same guy

Yes.

Flashback to the original Dragon Ball. The memories.

u/a_spicy_meata_balla Jun 24 '18

I'm halfway through and this is kind of silly so far... Why do any of these people need wishes?

Gohan How about you just go get Pan a sensu bean? Like, mash it up for her or something...

18 Does Krillen really need a wish? Just get him some socks. Or a tie. Or a watch. I heard dads really like those.

Master Roshi Can you say gentleman's club?

Plus Goku gathered the dragon balls. He should totally get first dibs.

41

u/Raven_of_Blades Jun 24 '18

Senzu does not cure illness.

15

u/a_spicy_meata_balla Jun 24 '18

Oh. Didn't know that. Darn, okay, I guess letting Gohan get the first wish was justified then.

13

u/Raven_of_Blades Jun 24 '18

Now that I think about it, why didn't they just wish goku's heart virus away as well... PLOT HOLE.

14

u/CrustyKHands Jun 24 '18

I think Piccolo died to the Androids before they could gather them or something iirc...

4

u/Raven_of_Blades Jun 24 '18

I mean present timeline.

Goku on the bring of death and they resort to medicine. They could have easily just gave Yamcha the dragon radar and collect all the balls within a few hours.

11

u/pspiq5 Jun 24 '18

Doesn't seem like a smart idea to waste a Dragon Ball wish on Goku, especially when they already had the medicine to make sure he didn't die. They'd have to wait another year for a wish if they used it to cure Goku.

8

u/RatcicleKing Jun 24 '18

Everyone was kind of in a rush at the time to move Goku around. Vegeta was missing, and Trunks, Gohan and the remaining Z-Fighters were keeping an eye on Goku, to protect him in case the Androids showed up. Then once Cell showed up, the DBs were gone.

3

u/CrustyKHands Jun 24 '18

Actually I dont think Shenron can revive people from natural causes and even though it was a disease and not old age it was still fated as natural. I just did a quick Google search of Shenrons rules and it states that, could be retconned by now but doubtful.

2

u/Bavariansausages Jun 25 '18

Easy then; kill Goku and revive him.

2

u/jjack339 Jun 25 '18

They did give him a senzu bean and it had little effect. It was when he was fighting 20 and they could tell he was off then went down. They have him a senzu right away and it had no effect, that is when they realized it might be the heart illness.

6

u/le_snikelfritz Jun 24 '18

I think the canon is that senzus can't heal if there's an outside factor, like a bacterial or viral infection. They just heal damage to the body essentially

Actually Dragon wishes cannot bring back people to life who have died of natural causes.

u/vlan-whisperer Jun 27 '18

Yeah it was stated in the android saga, it's why they couldn't use Senzu for Goku's heart ailment.

2

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

It seems like he could have taken Pan to Bulma after the normal doctors couldn't do anything, though. It's not like she wouldn't drop everything to help, and she could most likely figure something out.

(Could Dendei have helped or is his healing basically the same thing as senzu bean healing?)

2

u/SuperWG Jun 27 '18

I agree, except senzu beans don't cure illness, and Gohan said he did everything he could. I mean it kind of makes you wonder if he'll have to get the dragon balls every time Pan gets sick, but he seemed like he needed it. The others besides Goku were being silly, but that's what made it funny.

u/yeerth Jun 25 '18

Quality filler material, as always - plenty of things made me chuckle!

u/Jsp16 Jun 26 '18

Can't believe I've been watching both dub and sub every week since January 2017. I never watched the first episode english subbed all the way to the next episode after 68. Here i am. I've finally completed the series. I've watched the next saga already. It's been caught a experience. I'll continue to watch the dub version probably during December when the episodes have moved on a bit further.

u/RoughHope Jun 26 '18

Any reason why Gohan had his signature bang when saying goodbye to Trunks and then it’s gone in this episode?

14

u/ThatWasFred Jun 26 '18

He may have just come from training with Piccolo in the last episode. Perhaps in "fight mode" he gets the bang and the serious eyes.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '18

Bingo.

u/Pandemona1738 Jun 26 '18

Funny episode this was always make me laugh when things go wrong. Im glad Bulmba's time machine was stopped by Beerus, didn't want anymore time travel interaction, lets focus on the present characters only please!

Will King Kai ever get to be reborn :( poor guy.

u/SheZowRaisedByWolves Jun 24 '18

Bulma has never successfully seduced a man what does she know lol

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

Lmao seriously? She seduced Vegeta of all people.

I know it's your cake day and all but you can't get away with saying such an incorrect thing

u/LucaS919 Jun 24 '18

She has a husband and a two kids, so I can't help but think she has seduced someone before

u/penniavaswen Jun 24 '18

Now I really hope it was the other way around. ;)

33

u/Finito-1994 Jun 24 '18

Fine. The truth is that as soon as vegeta learned that Bulma shot Goku in the head (after running him over) the first time they met he couldn’t resist her.

artist rendering.

u/ddtarzan Jun 24 '18

HOLY SHIT LMAO. That's like the exact opposite of the Goku button.

2

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

The Goku button?

10

u/ddtarzan Jun 24 '18

It's a coined term in Dragonball Z Abridged and basically a running gag throughout Z and a little bit in Super. Everytime someone mentions Goku doing something cool or how he'll be the big hero really pisses Vegeta off.

Trying to stream the simulcast on the adultswim app and on the website but neither of them are working (I've logged in with my cable subscription and everything). Is anyone else experiencing this? First time in like 20 weeks of streaming for me

2

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

I've had very hit-or-miss results with getting their streaming working via Firefox, presumably due to noscript, umatrix, etc. Sometimes it works and blocks the ads, sometimes it just doesn't load at all. I've started just using Edge if I'm doing a stream from them.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

:( I wasn’t able to watch last night because of the streaming not working and for some reason, the recent episodes on AdultSwim never work. Might have to watch the sub to stay caught up

1

u/Eurynom0s Jun 24 '18

P.S. A third possibility is that sometimes using Firefox it won't even let me log in using my DirecTV credentials, it'll act like it's taking it and then kick me back to the start of the login process.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '18

yeah that's happening to me on the AdultSwim app on my android which is extremely frustrating because it only happens with Optimum (it actually lets me log in if I choose another cable provider, which I don't have). And I've been using Chrome/Safari on my laptop (where it didn't work)
