Funimation To Host 'Dragon Ball Super' Finale Watch Party

The final episode of Dragon Ball Super is set to premiere, and fans are definitely sad to see the series go after having such a strong run the past three years. But they won't have to watch the series finale alone as Funimation wants to celebrate the occasion with as many fans as possible.

Funimation is hosting a watch party over on their YouTube page (which you can find here) to celebrate both the finale of the series and their reaching of 2 million subscribers.

The event will begin Saturday, March 24 (tonight) at 9:30 PM CDT.

The final episode of Dragon Ball Super is titled "A Miraculous Conclusion! Goodbye Goku! Until The Day We Meet Again!" and the synopsis for the episode is as follows:

"Battle of Goku and his friends conclude at last! Which universe will survive?

Battle for the survival of the universes is finally at it's climax. Against Jiren, the strongest man in the tournament, Goku's power is not enough so he falls from the stage. Just when everyone thought Universe 11 had won, Freeza appears?!

Freeza: He was missing until now, but?! Even though seriously injured, Freeza manages to pick himself up. Will he be able to defeat Jiren who even Goku couldn't defeat? And who is going to be the MVP?

A 'super' climax for the Tournament of Power!"

For fans sad about the series ending after Episode 131, it seems there is still some hope for closure before the end of the year when the newest Dragon Ball film releases December 14. The film has just released its first trailer and will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and potentially the story of the very first Super Saiyan God.Not only does it aim to be the best film in the series, original creator Akira Toriyama will be contributing to the film's script and new character designs.

Dragon Ball Super's "Universal Survival" arc is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon BallSuper airs on Crunchyroll Saturday evenings at 7:15 p.m. CST.
