How Does Dragon Ball Super’s New Dragon Compare to Past Dragons?

Dragon Ball Super’s newest chapter introduced a new dragon to the franchise, but how does it work and compare to the dragons we have seen in the past? Chapter 69 of the series takes the next crucial step into the Granolah the Survivor arc, and the surprises continue as the chapter introduced a brand new set of Dragon Balls to the series. Thankfully not much later do we get a full explanation as to the nature of this new dragon. But at the same time, there are only far more questions being raised for what could come next.

Warning. If you have yet to read the latest chapter of Dragon Ball Super‘s manga, Chapter 69, you might want to steer clear of the rest of this article as we’ll be diving into spoiler territory.

Following the previous chapter that had Granolah delivering the body of Moro henchman OG-73i to the space pirates known as the Heeters, the bounty hunter returns to his home planet that has seen some drastic changes since his race was wiped off the face of the planet thanks to the Saiyans. Planet Cereal is now inhabited by a new alien race known as the Sugarians, while Granolah will normally take the opportunity to hang out with a surprising figure, an elder Namekian who found his way to Cereal named Oatmeel. On top of this reveal, the chapter also informs readers that a new set of Dragon Balls were created for the planet following the Namekian’s arrival, that Granolah sets out to assemble.

What makes these balls so different from every other set is that they are the smallest so far, fitting in the palm of one’s hand, and can also summon a new dragon when only collecting two of them. With Granolah already having access to one, a news report reveals to him that the other that he needs has been discovered by a child and so he sets off to collect it.

When he summons the dragon, Granolah asks to be made the strongest warrior in the galaxy but we have some theories that this wish isn’t one that will be able to be granted. The dragon itself is far smaller than the other dragons that we’ve seen in the past, and it definitely seems as if it might not be as powerful as the likes of Shenron.
