Fans Are Divided On Who Had The Worst Story Arc In Dragon Ball Super

A post on the r/dragonball subreddit asked fans what they thought was the worst story arc within "Dragon Ball Super." And while some of the answers had some interesting contenders, like the introduction of Goku Black and Copy Vegeta, two arcs consistently kept getting mentioned. Fans took issues with the "Golden Frieza Saga," which is the anime series version of the "Resurrection 'F'" movie. During the arc, Frieza returns to life, gets a new form, and nearly takes out Goku in a surprise twist towards the end, despite him and Vegeta dominating him for most of their battle. It should have made for an exciting point in the series. Yet some fans found that it couldn't quite deliver. " 'RoF' by far," one Redditor said. "Ignoring the bad animation in both film and series, the story is underwhelming. Frieza resurrects because of fanservice, gets a new form without development, and comes to Earth."

The anime series version of the "Golden Frieza Saga" had an opportunity to expand and fix story issues in the original movie. But as u/GOLDEN_GROOD pointed out, besides a few additions and changes, "Super" really dropped the Dragon Ball. And perhaps "Super" would have been better off from adapting films because some fans weren't also impressed with the "Beerus Saga." The story arc is the first one in "Super" and attempts to adapt the "Battle of Gods" movie. "As someone who liked 'Super,' all I can say is 'Battle of Gods' existing is a crime and not a good way to start 'Super,'" u/SuperThanosBros posted. Much like "Golden Frieza," some fans agreed that the anime retelling of that film contributed nothing to an already shaky story.
