📋 Full Dragon Ball Super episode list — canon, filler & mixed
| Episodes | Arc | Type | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-14 | God of Destruction Beerus Saga | MIXED | Re-adapts the 'Battle of Gods' movie (Goku as Super Saiyan God vs Beerus). Eps 1-2 are mixed canon/filler (extended lead-in); ep 4 is pure filler. Mostly manga-canon otherwise. |
| 15-27 | Golden Frieza Saga | MIXED | Re-adapts the 'Resurrection F' movie (Frieza's revival and Golden form). Ep 15 is filler; eps 16-17 and 22 are anime-canon (extra training not in the movie). Rest follows manga. |
| 28-46 | Universe 6 Saga | MIXED | Tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7 (Champa/Beerus). Manga-canon core with the famous 'Hit vs Goku' material; eps 42-46 are pure filler (post-tournament Earth / 'Monaka' episodes leading into Future Trunks). |
| 47-76 | Future Trunks Saga | MIXED | Goku Black / Zamasu arc with Future Trunks. Strongly manga-based, but eps 68-70 and 73-76 are pure filler (side detours during the Zamasu conflict); eps 71-72 are anime-canon. |
| 77-131 | Universe Survival Saga | MIXED | Tournament of Power (Zeno's multiverse survival tournament; introduces Ultra Instinct). Largely manga-canon and anime-canon expansion; ep 89 is mixed. The tournament itself (97-131) is the anime's concluding, mostly-canon spectacle. |
Mixed episodes contain canon scenes spliced with filler — skim them rather than skipping outright.
💎 Filler actually worth watching
- Ep 4 (filler) — early lighthearted character moments, low stakes but harmless
- Eps 42-46 (filler) — 'Monaka delivery' / Goku farming-and-recruiting episodes; skippable but contain some comedic Universe 7 team-building
- Anime-canon eps 71-72 and 78-81 — not 'filler' proper but anime-original expansion worth watching for extra context before the Tournament of Power
❓ FAQ
Does Dragon Ball Super have much filler?
No. Only about 14 episodes (~11%) are pure filler, making DBS one of the lower-filler entries in the franchise. The bulk follows or expands the manga.
Do the first 27 episodes retread the movies?
Yes. Eps 1-14 (Beerus Saga) re-adapt the 'Battle of Gods' movie and eps 15-27 (Golden Frieza Saga) re-adapt 'Resurrection F.' If you've seen both films, these arcs are largely review with some added scenes.
What's the best arc of Dragon Ball Super?
Most fans rank the Future Trunks Saga (47-76, Goku Black/Zamasu) and the Universe Survival Saga / Tournament of Power (77-131, debut of Ultra Instinct) as the high points.
Is the manga different from the anime?
Yes. Toyotaro's manga and the anime diverge in pacing and some plot details (especially the Universe 6 and Future Trunks arcs), and the manga continued well past the anime with arcs (Moro, Granolah, Super Hero, Black Frieza) the anime never adapted.
What comes after Dragon Ball Super?
The DBS anime ended in 2018. The franchise continued with the 'Super Hero' (2022) film and a separate Toriyama-led series 'Dragon Ball Daima' (2024-2025). As of June 2026, a DBS anime continuation covering the later manga arcs is anticipated but unconfirmed.
