A Terrible Twist is Coming in Dragon Ball Super


For the past few weeks, Dragon Ball Super has been hyping up the climax of its Unviersal Survival arc. The one-hour special next month will feature the battle between Goku and Jiren, and fans are expecting to see Goku's new form, and the promotional materials for the special have been teasing how it's going to be the biggest shocker. Now, according to a new promo, something "terrible" is going to happen as well.

The series hasn't revealed any details about what the "terrible" thing may be, but some fans have shared their theories online. Translator Todd Blankenship shared a rundown of what "terrible" could mean:

"It can mean 'unexpected', as it's been translated elsewhere, but it typically still implies the thing in question is bad and/or extreme. With that in mind, translating it as "one hell of a thing is going to happen" might strike the right mix of vagueness and impressiveness. But it's never 'unexpected' in the sense of 'oh, I didn't expect bananas to be on sale today.', is what I'm getting at."

It's likely that the "terrible twist" will happen after Goku's fight with Universe 11's Jiren. The twist may not turn out to be as awful as many fans expect; its context may have been lost in translation, but it will probably be an unforgettable moment for Dragon Ball fans.

Dragon Ball Super is set to air on Crunchyroll Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. CST. Toonami still airs the English dub of Dragon Ball Super on Adult Swim Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.
