'Dragon Ball' Animator Shares New Vegeta and Jiren Artwork

Image
Dragon Ball Super came back last weekend with a brand-new episode, but fans aren’t ready to get over the release just yet. The fiery comeback saw Vegeta and Jiren fight one-on-one for the first time, and the battle just got a very special shoutout on Twitter. Taking to social media, one of Dragon Ball Super ’s favorite animators posted artwork of the two fighters. Yuya Takahashi shared two simple sketches he did of Vegeta and Jiren as a way to amp fans for the duo’s epic clash. As you can see below, the sketches aren’t quite as ornate as what Takahashi does with his animation reels. To the left, Vegeta can be seen sketched with simple line art that emphasizes his buff chest. As for Jiren, the Pride Trooper looks rather serious with his slanted eyes and pursed lips. pic.twitter.com/s8btE16HYN — 🇫🇷高橋 優也🇫🇷 (@TTSoolBNiuIb6jG) January 6, 2018 Rather than coloring the fighters in, Takahashi opted to do something easier.

Dragon Ball Super made a triumphant return tonight by sharing its first episode of 2018. The comeback pitted Vegeta against Jiren in a high-stakes battle, so fans pretty much forgot that a new ending was slated to debut tonight. However, the ending’s final shot quickly reminded them of the arrival. After all, it may have hinted at Vegeta going Ultra Instinct. The new ending may not sit well with every fan, but it does have Vegeta stans on the edge. In the outro’s last moments, fans are shown a montage of the Tournament of Power’s fighters with Goku and Vegeta standing before them all. The pair even outshine Jiren who has been a major focus of the anime as of late, and Vegeta has stirred up controversy with his looks.

Will Toppo Overpower Jiren Soon on 'Dragon Ball Super'?

Image
One of the more outlandish-seeming theories in Dragon Ball Super is the fact that one new God of Destruction could be crowned in the Tournament of Power: Universe 11's Toppo. Fans have been going back and forth over this, but after the title of an upcoming episode was revealed, the official answer may be coming sooner than you think. But if Toppo does indeed become a new God of Destruction, will he overpower Jiren? The title of Episode 125 of the series is "Advent of the God of Destruction, Toppo! There is Only Overwhelming Power!!" which teases Toppo's hidden power. Though Beerus has made sure to note how Toppo was close to the position in the past, fans had assumed Jiren was the one who was the fighter that was "as strong as a God of Destruction." If Toppo does become a God of Destruction during the Tournament, it raises quite a few questions. But the major thing that needs to be solved is whether or not this power will make him st

But given that Jiren denied the role before, and that Toppo was the only other confirmed candidate, it makes his transformation even more possible. But how will it happen? The series has mentioned what happens when a mortal is chosen as a God of Destructi

A new year is here, and Dragon Ball Super is preparing to enter its on-going saga’s climax. The Tournament of Power is down to two universes, and fans want to know how the event will pan out from here. Luckily, the anime has given audiences a hint about its final battles, and there are a few things fans should know. Fan-translators have already taken the liberty of turning over Japan’s latest synopses for Dragon Ball Super . Blurbs for episodes 122 - 124 are out now, and they have confirmed the remaining fighters of Universe 11 are about to square off with some specific enemies: Jiren v Goku, Vegeta There is one fight fans want to see in the Tournament of Power, and that is Goku’s re-match with Jiren. Back in October, the two fighters squared off in their first epic clash, and Goku was taken down by Jiren despite powering up to a new form. When Dragon Ball Super returns with episode 122, Goku will go to face Jiren, but the Saiyan will be stopped by Vegeta.

‘Dragon Ball Super’ Theory Connects Jiren's Power to a Surprising Fusion

Image
Dragon Ball fans cannot deny that Jiren is strong. The Pride Trooper is one of the franchise’s most OP fighters, and fans of Goku are dying to know how Jiren beat the Saiyan. Of course, theories about the fighter have been flying left and right, but there’s a new one out crazy enough to have potential. Recently, a fan on Reddit got Dragon Ball lovers buzzing with a new theory. In a bid to suss out Jiren’s power, /stagon7 dove deep into the fighter and used a bit of Chinese vocabulary to create a new fan-theory. As the post explains, the theory hinges upon the idea that Jiren’s power is sourced from a fusion. Similar to the Saiyans of Universe 6, some fans are thinking Jiren is the product of a mass fusion, but he went further than his comrades did. Rather than just absorbing a hundred fighters or so, this fan-theory thinks Jiren may have fused with his entire race. “In Chinese, Jiren means "Several people", and when Jiren first unleashed his power, B
