The series followed the continued adventures of Goku and his friends, as he sought to keep the Super Dragon Balls out of the hands of evil. The series was created by Akira Toriyama, the visionary behind DBS’s two prequel series’, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
The event is set to occur on March 27th, 2021.
