The Dragon Ball Super the manga is way ahead of the anime. Fans have waited years to see some of the manga's best moments animated, and the recent announcements of a God of Destruction Beerus remake and an adaptation of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga mean it's closer than ever.
The Dragon Ball Super manga has some incredible techniques that yearn for animation. Some of them are stronger than others, but you can be sure that when Toei finally works its magic, these attacks will look amazing.
Dragon Ball Super: 8 New Characters Introduced in Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga
Get to know these new faces before the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga anime comes out.
Perfected Ultra Instinct (Giant Form)
We have yet to see what Goku can really do with Perfected Ultra Instinct in the anime. We got a taste of his ceiling during the Tournament of Power, but Goku's god-like transformation makes for some truly incredible feats in the manga. One turn fans can't wait to see the animation coming in the upcoming adaptation of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
Goku's Perfected Ultra Instinct (Giant Form) was only used a few times in the manga, but it left a lasting impression on fans. Goku can only use the avatar in Perfected Ultra Instinct, where his blue ki consumes his body to create a massive form and fight opponents with incredible strength.
Kamehameha snapped
In the manga, Goku uses his Burst Kamehameha during the Tournament of Power, but we never see it in the anime. The Burst Kamehameha looks like a standard Kamehameha, but with a bit more flair. Goku backs off and fires a Kamehameha which he charges at his opponent from behind.
Maybe this move will be animated in a future arc, or maybe just the same Beerus will serve as an enhanced retelling of the God of Destruction Beerus saga, we get Dragon Ball Super: Jiren down the line to see him use the move during a retelling of the Tournament of Power. It didn't do much to Jiren when Goku used it against him in the manga, but it would be fun to see the animation.
Gamma Burst Flash
Like Goku's Burst Kamehameha, Vegeta's Gamma Burst Flash is another technique that only appeared in the manga version Cool. This technique appeared in Dragon Ball Heroes, but has yet to debut in the anime.
Vegeta uses the attack during the “Future” Trunks Saga against Goku Black and Future Zamasu, but it takes a huge toll on the already beaten Vegeta, draining him of his ki, causing him to return to his base form at an inopportune time. Vegeta used it again during the Tournament of Power alongside Goku's Kamehameha, but it wasn't enough to take out Jiren.
Forced Ghost Splitting
We've seen another spirit control ability, teleportation, animate years ago. But with a new one Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime released, we finally get to see Forced Spirit Fission come into play in a big way.
Vegeta learns this ability after traveling to the planet Yardrat to fight Mora's devastating energy absorption technique. Forced Spirit Fission allows anyone using it to separate energy from a specific target while manipulating it in various ways. Tech together with Podravka will play a key role in the finale of the saga.
Masenko beam cannon
We've already had some great moments from Gohan and Piccolo, especially in Super hero movie but upcoming Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol the anime will show the Mentor-Student pair preparing for an amazing new attack.
Masenko's Beam Cannon, as the name suggests, combines the Masenko and Special Beam Cannon into one. Gohan first fires his Masenko while Piccolo charges up a special beam cannon, the two attacks eventually combining into one and blasting through their target.
Self-destructing light grenade
This is another Piccolo ability we should see in Galactic Patrol anime. While the focus for most of the arc falls on characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Merus, Piccolo still pops up every now and then.
The Self Destruction Light Grenade looks like a modified version of Piccolo's Light Grenade, which emits a powerful, almost unstable-looking light in the manga. Unfortunately, Piccolo's attack is cut short and we don't get to see him fully perform. With any luck we'll either see his full powers in the manga or see what he can do in the manga when he returns.
Copying ability
Seven-Three's Copy Ability will play a big role in the upcoming anime, with the OG Soldier's special technique wreaking havoc on the battlefield. The technique itself isn't much to look at, but it allows the user to copy the abilities of whoever they're targeting, which makes for some interesting visuals.
The copy ability only allows the user to store the powers of three fighters at a time, and they can only use the abilities for half an hour. So its use is limited, but still incredibly effective.
Fire and flames
Seeing the animation of Moro's magic will be the highlight of the new season. While we've already seen magic users like Babidi and Baba in the series, Moro is in a different class. His mastery over it makes him one of the It's great most exciting villains and seeing his animation skills will make a lot of fans happy.
Moro uses his Fire and Flame technique quite a bit, often bringing it out when he's in trouble, with varying degrees of success. The ability uses the life energy of whatever planet it is used on, which can make it a heavy technique to deal with as it can deal devastating damage in battle and also contribute to Moro draining the planet's energy. This technique also appears in Granloah the Survivor Saga, but we won't see it animated for some time. Speaking of…
Charged finger beam
An anime adaptation of the Granolah the Survivor saga is still a long way off. Toei has neither announced nor hinted at this. But it is likely that we will get it within the next few years. When it comes out, we get to see Granolah absolutely tear it up on screen.
Granolah's Charged Finger Beam is a massive burst of energy that can destroy anyone on the other end of it. He charges the technique in his hand and releases a beam of energy that is much stronger than his normal finger beam. It's not flashy, but seeing Granolah use it in battle once the anime adaptation of the saga airs will be cool.
