The song is called "Limit-Break x Survivor" and is performed by Kiyoshi Hikawa. Takafumi Iwasaki composed the track while franchise veteran Yukinojō Mori penned its lyrics. The new theme song will replace the original one produced by Kazuya Yoshii. The song "Chōzetsu ☆ Dynamic!" helped bring Dragon Ball Super to fans' homes when the anime debuted in 2015, and now a new song will help the anime reach even further.
Over on Twitter, fan-translator Todd Blankenship has already started working on translations for the new theme. So far, the song's lyrics translate into "Scream! Heno-heno kappa / The invincible me is waiting there / The door possibility is still locked."
In February, Dragon Ball Super's story arc is set to kick off with the 'Universal Survival' saga. You can check out the brief synopsis for it below:
