Is 'Dragon Ball Super' really fan fiction?

Well, it depends on how you define fanfiction. Technically, Dragon Ball Super is an official continuation of the Dragon Ball series. However, it does have elements that feel like fanfiction. For example, some of the power - levels and new forms introduced seem a bit outlandish and more like what a passionate fan might come up with rather than a strictly logical progression from the original story. But it's still an official part of the franchise so it's a bit of a gray area.

One reason 'Dragon Ball Super' is considered fan fiction is that it takes the basic framework of the original series and goes wild with it. It has new tournaments, new villains, and new power - ups. Just like a fan writing a story to continue the adventures of Goku and his friends, 'Dragon Ball Super' adds a lot of new elements to the established world. It also delves deeper into the backstories of some characters, which is something fans often do in their fictional works.

Well, some might think it's bad fanfiction because it changes the established power scaling too much. In the original 'Dragon Ball' series, there was a certain logic to how strong the characters got. But in 'Dragon Ball Super', it seems like they just keep upping the power levels in a rather forced way, making it feel like a not - so - well - thought - out addition to the franchise.

One interesting fan theory is about the potential hidden powers of some minor characters. For example, some think that Yajirobe might have a secret super form that was never revealed in the original series. It's just a fun idea that fans like to explore in fanfiction.

Gula was a character in Dragon Ball Super. He was Flisa's older brother and had higher strength and potential than Flisa. Gula appeared in the movie version and Dragon Ball Hero, and showed his powerful combat ability. His form was more advanced than Flisa's, and he had even forced the Super Saiyan into a desperate situation. Gula's strength and potential were obviously higher than Fliesa's, but he disdained to compete with Fliesa for the throne, so he did not become the emperor of the universe. Although Gula appeared in the movie version, his strength and character status made him included in the official history of Dragon Ball. All in all, Gula was a powerful character with potential, and he had a complicated relationship with Flisa.

Yes, there is a Dragon Ball Super manga. It expands on the events and characters of the anime, providing more depth and storylines for fans to enjoy.

Some fan fictions focus on the relationships between characters. For instance, a fan fiction might develop a romantic relationship between Vegeta and Bulma in a more detailed and unique way. It could show their daily life together and how they support each other in different situations, which is quite different from what we see in the original series but still in line with their characters.

Power - up and training themes are common. Writers often explore how characters from Mortal Kombat could gain new powers like the Saiyans' transformations in Dragon Ball Super. Another theme is the crossover battles. It's exciting to see who would win in a fight between a Mortal Kombat character and a Dragon Ball Super character.
