Dragon Ball 5 Characters Cabba Can Defeat (& 5 He Cant)

Dragon Ball 5 Characters Cabba Can Defeat (& 5 He Cant) Making his debut during the Universe 6 arc of Dragon Ball Super, Cabba quickly became a formidable fighter in the Dragon Ball universe. There are many anime series that have become cultural touchstones that have transcended their original medium and Dragon Ball’s massive success for decades certainly qualifies. The Dragon Ball series has remained relevant with a steady release of content that revisits past triumphs and also continues to expand the series’ universe.

Bandai Announces Dragon Ball Fighters Game

Bandai Announces Dragon Ball Fighters Game

Bandai announces a new Dragon Ball game, titled Dragon Ball Fighters, that will come to the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and the PC in 2018.

Bandai Announces Dragon Ball Fighters Game

Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza will be clashing yet again in Bandai's newest Dragon Ball game, Dragon Ball Fighters, expected for release next year. The announcement comes just prior to Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2017. The game will be developed by Arc System Works, the gaming company credited with creating 2D arcade fighting game franchises BlazBlue and Guilty Gear.

Dragon Ball Fighters will utilize a 2.5D animation style, which differs in some areas from other games developed by Arc System Works. According to producer Tomoko Hiroki, this style will give the game a broader range of expression for the purpose of shifting camera angles and other functions that would not be possible in a 2D style.

With a set-up of three-versus-three matches, the game will feature "ultra-high speed battles" and "flashy special moves," all in classic Dragon Ball fashion. Not much is known of the game's roster of playable characters, but Bandai's press release did include screenshots featuring Goku, Vegeta, Majin Buu, Frieza, and Cell.

Arc System Works have developed Dragon Ball games in the past, such as Dragon Ball Supersonic Warriors and Dragon Ball Extreme Butoden, but these were produced in 2D because they were developed specifically for handheld systems like the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 3DS. This will be Arc System Works' first Dragon Ball game to release on major consoles.

Bandai Announces Dragon Ball Fighters Game

This game will look and feel remarkably different from the last major Dragon Ball game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which was released in the fall of 2016. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (as well as its predecessor) is a 3rd person fighting game with 3D graphics and a huge emphasis on online play. In fact, most Dragon Ball console titles in recent years have been 3D fighters, making this game a big deviation from what fans generally expect from Dragon Ball games.

It should be taken into consideration that the press release for the game's announcement is dated June 12, which could mean that Bandai Namco accidentally shared it prior to its intended release. It's also possible that Dragon Ball Fighters may not be its official name, which means that it could be translated differently for its Europe and North America releases. Fans expect that Bandai Namco will officially announce the game at E3.

The only other upcoming Dragon Ball title is the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

Dragon Ball 5 Anime Characters That Could Defeat Jiren (& 5 Who Wouldnt Stand A Chance)

Dragon Ball 5 Anime Characters That Could Defeat Jiren (& 5 Who Wouldnt Stand A Chance) Jiren from Dragon Ball Super is one powerful warrior but in a fight vs anime characters like Jotaro, All Might & Arceus from Pokemon? How does he do? Few Dragon Ball antagonists have been as threatening as Jiren. No doubt, there’s plenty who’ve done some pretty terrifying things, like how Nappa tore through the Z Fighters or how Freiza blew up Namek. But Jiren faced down Goku going Super Saiyan and shrugged it off. He shut down Kale after she went into her Legendary Super Saiyan mode. Beating him took the combined efforts of Goku, Frieza, and Android 17. But just because he’s that powerful, doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of getting laid out. This list takes a look at five anime characters who could take Jiren down without a second thought, and five who would get beaten without Jiren even putting in effort. 10 DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE: ICHIGO Ichigo is the truth.

Dragon Ball 5 Fan Theories That Make No Sense (& 5 That Do)

Dragon Ball 5 Fan Theories That Make No Sense (& 5 That Do) Dragon Ball spawns a lot of fan theories from fans. While some fan theories involving Broly make sense, others with Frieza and Goku don't make sense. The Dragon Ball franchise is undoubtedly one of the most popular anime series around without a shadow of a doubt. Dragon Ball Z is a major reason why Japanese media managed to break into the Western mainstream, while Dragon Ball Super is a prime example of just how popular the series has proven to be, releasing almost two decades after its legendary predecessor finished its run. Truly, there is no anime that has reached the heights of Dragon Ball in popularity. The series is also notable for its rabid fanbase, latching onto any small hint — intentional or otherwise — and forming ostentatious and wild fan theories that are equal parts incredible and unbelievable. Out of the sheer wealth of fan theories available on the interwebs, there are 5 that are so ridiculous to the l...
