Dragon Ball Super has only delved into its new story arc, but the anime is already stirring up hype. The 'Universal Survival' saga kicked off earlier this month after Goku asked the Omni-Kings to host a multiverse martial arts event. With the tournament now underway, Mr. Buu has already taken down his Universe 9 opponent while Gohan prepares to battle his. Several episode titles for Dragon Ball Super have now been released, and each teases some intense battles.

Next week, episode 80 will usher in Gohan's battle against the wolf-warrior Lavender, and the following week will see Goku's entrance. The iconic fighter is set to fight Bergamo from Universe 9, and the opponent will give Goku lots of trouble. The episode is titled "Crusher Bergamo vs Son Goku! Which Has Sky-High Strength?!" You can check out the full synopsis for the Dragon Ball Super's episode below:

"The Omni-Present Match comes to a head! Does Goku have a shot at victory?! The final battle of the Omni-Present Match is Goku vs Bergamo! Bergamo uses some slick talking to get the stadium on Universe 4's side, turning them completely against Goku and the gang! What's more, Bergamo shows off his ability to turn his opponent's attacks into his own power! How will Goku fight this tricky foe? Crusher Bergamo shows his stuff!!"

"Omni-King This Week: Taking back his declaration to wipe out the universes?! Accepting Bergamo's proposal, Omni-King announces that if Universe 4 [?] wins, he will withdraw his plan to wipe out universes who lose in the Tournament of Power! What is Omni-King's aim?!"

After Goku goes to battle, Universe 11 will get its time to shine. Episode 82 is tentatively titled "The Righteous Warrior Toppo Bursts In," and the character should be a familiar one to Dragon Ball Super fans. Toppo is the lead fighter of Universe 11 and attracted attention with his mysterious hooded-figure.

Then, in episode 83, Universe 7 will finally pull together its resources. The long-awaited episode is titled "Forming the Universe 7 Representative Team," and it will see fighters like Android 17, Android 18, Krillin, Tien, and more sign up for the martial arts tournament.

The "Universal Survival" saga is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. CST. Toonami will begin airing the English dub on Adult Swim Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.
