'Dragon Ball Super' Manga Reveals Alternate Kefla Fusion

The Tournament of Power has already had many changes made in the Dragon Ball Super manga, and the most recent of these had to do with the fan-favorite fusion of Universe 6's Kale and Caulifla, Kefla.

But while the two originally fused in order to fight against Goku in the anime, they fuse instead in the manga in order to keep Kale from destroying herself.

In the manga, Kale unleashes her Super Saiyan strength and is overwhelmed by it. Though her power allows her to eliminate four universes completely in a quick fashion, this also means that her power is slowly killing her body as she loses control more and more.

But unlike in the anime, Kale never gets control of this power so the only good solution to this is for Cabba to get her to wear the Potara earring (which eliminates him in the process) and for she and Kale to fuse into Kefla. Another small, but big change in the manga is that Kefla's fusion comes at full power already.

She's already in her strong Super Saiyan 2 form, which didn't happen immediately in the anime. Kefla fuses at first, but then goes into her Super Saiyan forms as a way to show off against Goku. But in the manga, since her fusion is brought out in a different way, it only makes sense to expedite the transformation.

Besides, it's already leading to some major fights fans never got to see in the anime such as a tease to an original to the manga fight with Gohan.

All 'Dragon Ball' Movies Are Getting A Brand-New Remaster

Fans are going crazy for the newly remastered Dragon Ball movies, with American audiences dying to get a look.

Last week, Twitter went crazy for screenshots of Toei Animation's remastered versions of the 19 existing Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z movies. Fans put the stunning stills side by side, showing how the images had been balanced and softened, and made generally more reminiscent of the original series.

The screen shots went viral, with everyone from full on animation aficionados to casual viewers noting the profound difference in quality.

Fans in the U.S. flocked to the replies of these posts, desperately asking how they could get their hands on these new versions. Unfortunately, it does not look like there's an easy way just yet. The new remasters are streaming on Netflix and Amazon Instant Video in Japan. As it stands, they have not been made available overseas yet.

There is a glimmer of hope, however. With Dragon Ball's ongoing resurgence in popularity through Super and the upcoming Broly movie, the remasters could make it to American markets sooner or later. Fans will simply need to wait for Toei to put the English audio -- or, at the very least, subtitles -- into the product.

One fan even explained his theory that Toei was working toward a remaster of the entire Dragon Ball series, with the possibility of a blu-ray release sometime in the near future.

"Toei seems to be rolling out a brand new remaster of the DB movies on both Netflix and Amazon," they wrote. "There is also a 'Supposed Blu Ray' on its way with perhaps broadcast audio."

When asked to cite a source for this prediction, they posted a quote.

"'All the movies have got optical audio, but I think it's gonna be changed for the supposed future Blu-ray release.' - Kei," they wrote. "Thats of course not 1000% hard evidence. But if anyone has a clue what Toei could be doing with their audio, it's him of course."

At the very least, fans in the U.S. can look forward to remastered versions of three Dragon Ball Zmovies coming to theaters this fall. Toei Animation has teamed up with Fathom Events to host screenings of some classic anime movies ahead of this December's premiere of Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Is 'Dragon Ball' Really Teasing The Return Of Gogeta?

Dragon Ball is the series that keeps on giving. The franchise has been around for years, and fans have found ways to dredge up the most intense theories for even the smallest things. And, these days, it looks like Gogeta is the target of one controversial theory about Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Clearly, Hit would be proud of the conspiracy. It has lots to do with making some donuts after all.

For those unaware of this latest debacle, it began online as most things do. Fans began looking into a set of new promo items set to hit Japanese shelves, and one of the Dragon Ball Super items caught plenty of attention thanks to its Gogeta connection.

As you can see above, it looks like Dragon Ball-themed donuts will become a real thing soon, and their packaging is going through some intense scrutiny. The bright packaging shows Goku and Vegeta in their usual Dragon Ball Super looks as they prepare to fuse. This time, however, they aren’t using the Potara earrings; This promotional artwork uses the traditional fusion dance, and some fans have questioned whether this means Dragon Ball Super’s next project will feature Gogeta.

After all, it has been quite some time since fans saw the fusion. Unlike its fusion counterpart Vegito, Gogeta is considered non-canon to most fans since it debuted in the Dragon Ball Z films. The character is a favorite despite its status, and many have hoped creator Akira Toriyama would bring Gogeta to the canon eventually. With Broly undergoing such a reboot himself, hopes have never been so high for Gogeta, but this fan-theory doesn’t look to sweet.

When it comes to promo items, Dragon Ball campaigns are hit-or-miss with spoilers. If Gogeta were to come to the canon, it’s hard to believe Toei Animation and Shueisha would inform fans using donuts. As for Dragon Ball Super: Broly, the artwork shown on this packaging doesn’t match the style which art director Naohiro Shintani has created for the feature. It looks like Tadayoshi Yamamuro is the mastermind behind this Gogeta teaser, and that does not bode well for this fan-theory’s credibility.
