The legacy of Akira Toriyama's epic series, Dragon Ball Super, remains a cornerstone of modern shonen television. However, its initial 2015 broadcast encountered notable production bottlenecks and uneven art direction across its opening sagas. As fandom conversations persist around potential visual re-adaptations, industry observers are revisiting the critical narrative beats that stand to gain the most from modern production standards at Toei Animation.
Pivotal Clashes
Chief among the sequences deserving a refined aesthetic is Goku's initial encounter with Lord Beerus above Earth's stratosphere. Originally adapted from the Battle of Gods theatrical film under strenuous weekly broadcast deadlines, the TV iteration lacked fluid action staging. Applying contemporary line art and fluid choreography—akin to recent theatrical milestones like Dragon Ball Super: Broly—would restore the divine weight intended for the Super Saiyan God transformation.
Similarly, key highlights from subsequent arcs warrant comprehensive visual updates. Future Trunks' decisive stand against Merged Zamasu and Goku's mastery of Ultra Instinct during the climactic Tournament of Power remain prime candidates for high-end sakuga sequences. A prospective remake offers Toei Animation an opportunity to establish aesthetic consistency across the entirety of the storyline.
