Dragon Ball has been running in some shape or form since it first debuted 20 years ago, and while the currently look of the newest series, Dragon Ball Super, looks much different than the original incarnation, most of the original spirit of the series is still in tact.

One of the biggest examples of this is a small character trait that Goku carried with it to his adulthood, his warm-up regiment. Proving a small thing can make a huge impact.

Twitter user @Godly Goku shared a .gif showing that Goku's been warming up the same way for fights ever since he was a child. Stretching out his legs with a big smile on his face, Goku looks very much the same way he did as a child despite the series' evolving into one with thicker, rougher, and more angular character designs in order to emphasize the fighting direction the series would later take in later Dragon Ball stories.

Goku especially looks different in his newest form, Ultra Instinct, which is ready to fully debut in the next episode of the series.

Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturday evenings at 7:15 p.m. CST. Adult Swim airs the English dub during its Toonami block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m, and is now available to stream on FunimationNOW and Amazon Video.

If you want to catch up with the English dub, the first 39 episodes of Dragon Ball Super are now available to stream on FunimationNOW, Crunchyroll's VRV service, and available to purchase on Amazon Video. The 39 episodes span the full range of what has aired in the North America and covers the "Battle of Gods" arc, "Revival of F" arc, and the most recently ended "Universe 6" arc.

Funimation has previously announced the rest of the series will soon be available on the service as well. Releasing in 13 episode batches two weeks after the last episode airs on Cartoon Network, fans of Dragon Ball Super's English dub without a cable connection will soon have a way to experience the series.

There is also currently a new Dragon Ball film in the works for 2018. The film 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.
