“The release of the TV series Dragon Ball Super based on the Akira Toriyama story begins this July. After the meeting with the God of Destruction, Beerus who had awakened from a long sleep, and after Frieza’s resurrection who was once feared as the “emperor of the universe”. An even more mysterious character now comes into play.”

Attack of the Fanboy reportedly claimed that several fans speculated that the new villain of the anime series will be some type of a "God" character, similar to Beerus, and a bigger threat than either Majin Buu or Frieza. Aside from the plot details recently revealed, there is also a manga adaptation of "Dragon Ball Super" that is speculated to launch alongside the anime series on July this year, AnimeNewsNetwork reports.
