So, it is always a good news when you hear that the mastermind himself will be involved in the anime production. Dragon Ball Super Season 2 will most probably follow the manga and we’ll see the Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga and The Moro Arc. But we have often seen anime diverting from manga and Dragon Ball series tend to do it in a positive way. But if it follows the Manga, we’ll see the rise of a new supervillain called Moro who will give the Z fighters a run for their money. Moro has the terrifying power to steal life force from planets which makes him the biggest threat they’ll face since Frieza.
Talking about Frieza, you might be aware that he was resurrected at the end of the Universal Survival Saga of DBS. This would kickstart the next arc after Moro, called the Granolah the Survivor Arc. Granolah is a Cerealian whose home planet was destroyed by Saiyans under the command of Frieza. So, upon hearing about Frieza’s resurrection, he will be out for revenge which will also make him clash with Goku and Vegeta. So, the anime does have some interesting arcs lined up and it would be fun to see them translate to screen, under the supervision of the Toriyama!
