Dragon Ball Super raised the stakes to multiversal levels in 2026, proving that the franchise goes far beyond muscular warriors screaming and firing energy beams. Although the battles are the main course, the script brought deep reflections on power, justice, and what it truly means to be strong in the face of gods and angels. These dialogues work as a true dive into the hearts of heroes and villains, defining the legacy of the work for fans.
During the Tournament of Power, Jiren embodied the idea that brute strength surpasses any emotional bond. He faced Goku and his allies with the contempt of someone who believes that dependence on others leads to ruin. However, this solitary vision only served to highlight the contrast with our heroes, who draw power precisely from their connections. This clash of ideals defined the final arc, making it clear that trust is not a weakness, but the fuel to overcome impossible limits.
The quotes that marked the multiverse
Master Roshi also had his moment of glory by showing that learning never ends, even for an ancient mentor. While fighting for the survival of his universe, he acknowledged that Goku and Krillin were the ones responsible for rekindling his inner flame. On the other hand, villains like Zamasu brought a heavy philosophical weight by questioning the very existence of humanity. For the fallen god, mortals are the only mistake in a perfect divine creation, which turned the fight for survival into a debate about the right to exist.
Vegeta starred in scenes that are now pillars of pop culture, especially when he set aside fear to protect Bulma. Upon seeing his wife struck by Beerus, the Prince of Saiyans proved that his family is his greatest source of power, making him more heroic than ever. Additionally, he reaffirmed his Saiyan pride against Toppo, refusing to abandon his identity for easy power. This raw honesty shows that being yourself is the only real path to greatness.
