While Dragon Ball Super had some struggles with the quality of animation and lackluster storytelling in its first half, it sure made up for it in the Universe Survival Saga. Not only was the animation crisper, with darker outlines and detailed backgrounds, but the introduction to a wide array of different universes made everything up until that point feel small and insignificant. Manga chapters 27 to 42 and Episodes 77 to 131 tell fans of the franchise a wonderful story of strong bonds, deep roots, and plenty of nostalgia to guide old and new fans alike down a tournament of true power.
