First Look at Goku in New Anime Series Dragonball Super

It has been 18 years since a Dragon Ball anime series has been released, but that will all change in July with the release of a new show called Dragon Ball Super. Now, the first look at Goku from the series has been released!

Check out the photo of the main character here.

The series will reportedly follow the events of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and the two most recent movies, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. You may notice Dragon Ball GT is missing from that list. That's because those behind the series have decided to do what most fans have done: completely ignore GT and treat it as non-canon.

Details on the new series are sparse, but Anime News Network reports it will pick up "a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, during a time when the Earth is peaceful." This would indicate that the series takes place after the conclusion of DBZ, but it's unclear if it occurs before or after the two aforementioned movies.

The new Dragon Ball Z movie hits American theaters this summer, and some new photos reveal the Super Saiyan God forms of both Goku and Vegeta as they take on the new golden Frieza.

In addition, the third and final DLC pack for Dragonball: Xenoverse has been revealed, and it contains the aforementioned forms of Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza.

A video of the movie recently revealed that two of Frieza's last remaining henchmen use the Dragonballs to try to revive their master and wind up summoning a Frieza from another reality. The video shows this Frieza as purple and gold, and he seems to have a transformation that can even stand up to Super Saiyan 3 Goku.

Check out a clip below of a fight scene from the film:
