Dragon Ball Super Dope - A Dragon Ball Podcast

Brandon is back! One of the original members of the Super Dope Trio returns to the show as Kyle and Brandon kick off a new series revisiting Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods ahead of the long-awaited return of the Dragon Ball Super anime. With Dragon Ball Super officially set to return (starting with a brand-new retelling of the Beerus saga), the guys discuss the biggest questions surrounding the relaunch. Why revisit Battle of Gods and Resurrection F for a fourth time? Will Toei finally create a definitive version of the story? And what happens to all of the anime-only moments fans have come to love? Along the way, they dive into Beerus' introduction as one of Dragon Ball's most unique antagonists, Vegeta's unforgettable Bingo Dance, Goku's first encounter with Super Saiyan God, the differences between the movie, anime, and manga versions of Battle of Gods, and why Dragon Ball still struggles with the idea of a single "canon." The conversation also branches into Dragon Ball Daima, the Moro (Galactic Patrol Prisoner) Arc, Tournament of Power, Future Trunks, Goku Black, the future of Dragon Ball Super, and whether Toei is making the right decision by rebooting the anime instead of jumping directly into new material. If you've been wondering what Dragon Ball Super's return means for longtime fans, this episode is the perfect place to jump back in.

In this episode of Dragon Ball Super Dope , we're celebrating the 11th anniversary of Dragon Ball Super by taking a deep dive into its first opening theme, Chozetsu Dynamic . From the song's creation and recording process to its English localization, lyrical themes, and unforgettable debut alongside the return of the Dragon Ball franchise in 2015, we explore why this opening became one of the defining pieces of music in modern anime. We also compare it to legendary Dragon Ball themes like Makafushigi Adventure! , CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA , We Gotta Power , and Limit-Break x Survivor , discussing where Chozetsu Dynamic fits among the greatest Dragon Ball opening songs of all time. Beyond the opening theme itself, we examine how Chozetsu Dynamic was adapted throughout the Dragon Ball Super soundtrack , breaking down its various orchestral, piano, and string arrangements used during the anime. Kyle also shares his thoughts on the evolution of Dragon Ball Super's background score, the series' early production challenges, and why the music became stronger as the anime progressed. Along the way, he revisits his own acoustic cover of Chozetsu Dynamic, reflects on the early years of the podcast, and shares plenty of nostalgia for one of the most exciting eras in Dragon Ball history. Whether you're a longtime Dragon Ball fan, an anime music enthusiast, or simply love discussing the franchise's iconic opening songs, this episode is packed with analysis, history, and appreciation for one of Dragon Ball Super's most recognizable themes.

After nearly eight years of waiting, Dragon Ball Super is officially coming back — and the announcements out of Japan have the fandom split right down the middle . In this episode of Dragon Ball Super Dope , I break down everything revealed at the Genki Dai Matsuri event , including the long-rumored return of the anime with Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol , a brand-new Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remake, and a mysterious new Dragon Ball video game that claims deep ties to Akira Toriyama's legacy. We start with the big one: Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol , which all but confirms the long-awaited Moro arc will finally be animated. While there's no release date yet, this announcement officially ends years of speculation — Super is back, and it's moving forward instead of being rebooted or remastered into oblivion. Then comes the curveball. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is slated for late 2026 and appears to be a high-budget, six-episode re-telling of Battle of Gods . The animation quality looks incredible… but do we really need to see Beerus arrive on Earth for the fourth time? I dig into why this feels frustrating, what it could mean for a full "Dragon Ball Super Kai" style remake, and whether redoing Super with manga-accurate storytelling might actually be worth it. Finally, we talk games. Dragon Ball Project / Age 1000 introduces a new original character (Kino?) and claims heavy involvement from Akira Toriyama — which raises some uncomfortable questions about transparency, legacy marketing, and how Dragon Ball moves forward creatively. Is this Xenoverse 3 , a Dragon Ball Online revival , or something else entirely? Along the way, I get personal about what Dragon Ball Super Dope has meant to me, how the Tournament of Power era shaped this podcast, and why seasonal Dragon Ball might actually be the best possible future for the franchise. If you've been waiting for Moro, Granolah, Gas, and Black Frieza to finally hit the screen — this episode is for you.

The My Hero Academia anime finale is here — Episode 170 "My Hero Academia." In this breakdown, I run through the final chapter of Deku's journey, the 8-year time skip, every Class A character epilogue, and that massive final reveal that sets up My Hero Academia's future.

In this episode, Kyle breaks down My Hero Academia Episode 169, The Girl Who Loves Smiles — the emotional penultimate chapter before the series finale. From Lady Nagant's decision to stay imprisoned, to Gentle and LaBrava's reunion, to Deku delivering Shigaraki's final message to Spinner, this one is packed with heavy character payoffs. But the heart of the episode is Ochako vs. her grief . Kyle dives deep into her breakdown, Deku's confession, and how this moment ties all the way back to the entrance exam. If you love MHA's emotional storytelling, this is one of the most powerful episodes of the entire series. 🎧 New listeners: Follow Super Dope Plus Ultra on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. 💬 Drop your thoughts on Episode 169 in the comments — PLUS ULTRA!

In this episode of Super Dope Plus Ultra , I'm diving into My Hero Academia Episode 168, Epilogue: The Hellish Todoroki Family – Final . This one shifts gears hard — from global cleanup and post-war rehab to some of the most emotional character fallout we've seen all season. I talk through Deku's recovery, Bakugo's absolutely brutal breakdown over losing his rival, Mirio's graduation speech, Aoyama's exit, Shinso's big Class 2-A debut, and the weird-ass haircut that Deku is now stuck living with. A lot of characters finally get closure — some uplifting, some tragic, all very "yep, this world is never going to be the same." Then we get into the heart of the episode: the Todoroki family's final confrontation with Dabi. Shoto's frozen-over new look, Endeavor's shattered state, Rei and the siblings carrying years of trauma on their faces — the whole family looks like they walked out of literal hell, which is exactly the point. And when Toya admits his favorite food and quietly apologizes, man… it hits. I break down all of it, plus Hawks' new role, restoration work ahead for Class 2-A, next week's Gentle/Spinner/Uravity teases, and whether My Hero Academia is about to deliver one of the all-time great anime endings.

Deku goes PLUS ULTRA for real in My Hero Academia Episode 167, and I'm breaking down every wild moment — Class 1-A's Endgame entrance, Aoyama's redemption, Shigaraki vs. All For One inside the Vestige world, and Deku's final, sky-clearing punch. Gentle Criminal shows up, Bakugo blasts in, and the entire world screams ganbare .

In this episode of Super Dope Plus Ultra , we're breaking down My Hero Academia Episode 166 — the wild mix of trauma, mind-games, and emotional gut punches inside the Vestige world. From Nana Shimura's goodbye to baby Deku trying to save Tenko with literal no-arms energy, I get into why this episode hit hard even if it didn't top last week. And yeah… All For One revealing he basically engineered Shigaraki's entire existence? Absolutely insane. But the hype is real too. Class 1-A pulls an Avengers-level entrance, Sero of all people comes in hot, and Eri tries to help in the most Eri way possible. I'm talking reinforcements, big feelings, stupid quirk science, and why Season 7 continues to cook. If you're a Spotify or Apple listener who loves My Hero Academia as much as I do, let's go Plus Ultra together.

I'm still gathering my feelings and thoughts about the Dragon Ball Daima final episode, MAXIMUM, and everything it means for the Dragon Ball franchise as Akira Toriyama's final work for us. SSJ4 Goku is canon, sure, but did it come at the cost of the canon? Toriyama don't give a shit and I both love and hate that lol. Let me know your thoughts!

SSJ4 Adult Goku is a thing now, and it's canon and people are both excited and confused. PLUS CLEANGOD IS GOHAN? HOW APPROPRIATE.

MAJIN KUU? REALY? Kyle, Raysean and Josh are back to discuss Dragon Ball Daima episodes 8 and 9 - Tamagami and Thieves. These are probably two of the best Dragon Ball Daima episodes to date and man is there a lot to talk about. Additionally; why is the Dragon Ball Daima dub out yet? Is this a giant mistake or intentional to build hype in the second half of the series? We talk about it.

Kyle, Raysean and Josh are discussing Dragon Ball Daima episode 7 - Collar Kaioshin gets some time to shine and also has their real DEMON REALM NAME REVEALED. Also...

Kyle and Josh are back to discuss Dragon Ball Daima episode 6, Lighting. Super Saiyan Goku and Glorio finally fight to test their strength, and we see Glorio's majin magic, which strangely looks very similar to force lightning from Star Wars. Toriyama really was smoking on that spice on his way out the door... Additionally, some theories about what sort of new fusions and transformations we may see along the way. Will we get Super Saiyan 4 in Daima? Or is Goku just feeling gassy? We also talk about Dragon Ball Daima theater experiences and how sweet it is to have Stephanie Nadolny back as Goku, and why Sparking Zero has seen such a big player dropoff in just one month.
