Dragon Ball Super is extremely cool — it’s an objective fact. But what happens when you run out of episodes to watch? We have your back! If you like Dragon Ball Super, here are five series you’ll love.

Master of the Flying Guillotine

What It Is: A classic Taiwanese martial arts movie

Why It’s Cool: Jimmy Wang’s iconic film is packed with beautifully choreographed, intense fight scenes, which are already reason enough to watch the movie. Martial arts films were a huge influence on the Dragon Ball universe, and Toriyama got inspiration for certain elements of his work from Guillotine specifically!

Fans of DBS Will Like: Great fight choreography; exploring influences on the series

My Hero Academia

What It Is: A boy without superpowers strives to become a hero in this hit anime series!

Why It’s Cool: In the world of My Hero Academia, 80% of the world’s population has superpowers. Deku, our main character, was born without them. While this show offers some amazing action sequences, the real draw is Deku’s slow but steady rise to the top! Fans who have watched Goku grow stronger throughout Dragon Ball will have a new character to root for!

Fans of DBS Will Like: Following Deku as he gets stronger; excellent action animation

Death Battle!

What It Is: Characters from all across pop culture come together for intense 1-on-1 fights!

Why It’s Cool: Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter? Death Battle! is here to help! Each episode asks what would happen if two characters from different franchises had to fight to the death. Experts Wiz and Boomstick analyze each combatant to determine the winner, and the findings are then animated in spectacular fashion! Goku actually makes an appearance in an episode that pits him against Superman!

Fans of DBS Will Like: Otherworldly match-ups; over-the-top fight scenes

Lastman

What It Is: A new animated series about crime, boxing, and a secret organization of superpowered villains!

Why It’s Cool: Did you read the description above?! Seriously, Lastman offers a charming blend of action, comedy, and drama that really shines with the help of some great character writing and dialogue. The villains in this series are particularly nefarious, making it clear that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Fans of DBS Will Like: The cool, interesting characters; villains you love to hate

Samurai Champloo

What It Is: Two samurai and a young girl wander, argue, and fight their way all across Japan in this stylish series.

Why It’s Cool: Samurai Champloo takes two things that shouldn’t mix (hip-hop and Edo-era Japan) and merges them perfectly! This stylish series weaves breakdancing into its sword battle and rap beats into its soundtrack to create a surreal world that oozes cool. Under the surface, though, an emotionally driven plot keeps everything together and powers the show forward.

Fans of DBS Will Like: The eccentric spin on traditional Japan; inventive fight scenes

Now you have plenty of entertaining series to explore to satisfy that Dragon Ball itch! You can check out every show listed here on VRV.co, so get watching!
