Over on Youtube, the anime studio released two subbed trailers for the Dragon Ball Super arc. The first PV was released by Toei Animation a while back and goes through the previous Dragon Ball Super arcs. The video then ends with a look at the Dragon Ball Super manga and its take on the impending martial arts affair.

As for the second video, the PV gives fans a look at the actual animation for the 'Universal Survival' arc. Audiences are introduced to a slew of new Gods of Destructions and teased an appearance of a never-before-seen female Super Saiyan who looks suspiciously like Broly.
