About

Dragon Ball Super Quality Controversy refers to the backlash regarding the low production quality of the fifth episode in Dragon Ball Super, the fourth installation in the Dragon Ball anime franchse, which aired in Japan on August 9th, 2015.

Origin

Titled "Decisive Battle on Kaiō's Planet! Goku vs. God of Destruction Beerus," the fifth episode of Dragon Ball Super aired on August 9th, 2015. Immediately following its broadcast, many viewers expressed their disappointment with the episode's exceptionally low quality production, particularly the climatctic battle sequence between Goku and Beerus. That same day, YouTuber Blues uploaded a video montage of screenshots from the fight scene while he sings the Dragon Ball Kai theme "Dragon Soul" in a very solemn tone (shown below).
