Last weekend, Dragon Ball Super kicked off a brand-new arc that already has fans buzzing. The 'Universal Survival' saga will see Son Goku and a team of Universe 7 warriors go head-to-head against other fighters from the multiverse. Now, a brief synopsis for episode 78 has been released, and it teases major consequences for Goku.

You can check out the preview from Fuji TV below:

"The 'Tournament of Might' will determine the strongest warriors in the universe, but it has an alarming rule that all universes except that of the winning team will be wiped out. What's more, an 'Omni-Present' fighting match attended by the Omni-King is now also going to be held.

Of course, fans know that Goku was the man behind the martial arts tournament and its debut. The Saiyan disregarded all of the warnings he got from his friends and asked the Omni-Kings to set the event in motion. Despite being advised not to, Goku's want to fight is now putting the entire multiverse at risk - and Zen-Oh is the one behind the threat. The franchise's most powerful being is now the person threatening to destroy everything Goku knows, and there will be little chance to retcon the destruction of any universes as such.

Good going, Goku…

Last weekend, Dragon Ball Super's story arc kicked off the 'Universal Survival' saga. You can check out the brief synopsis for it below:

"At Goku's request, the Omni-Kings' "Tournament of Power" martial arts tournament between universes now begins! …But this also proves to be the beginning of universal destruction. What awaits the victors of this tournament, and the vanquished…?! How will these intense team battles between the elites of each universe turn out…?!"

So it does seem that before the main tournament there will be some kind of one-off match attended by Omni-King: https://t.co/4uW6syyYZK pic.twitter.com/TArNXW55Fu
