Fans of Dragon Ball Super may be lacking in new anime content for now, but the fandom is preparing to reflect on the best fights in the series during the "Battle of Battles" event.
Announced by Funimation in partnership with Toei Animation, the event will take a look back at the best fights in the series, as determined by fans in a poll last December. The event is scheduled for Mar. 27 at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET in the U.S. and Canada. It will be broadcast simultaneously on Funimation's YouTube channel and Toei Animation's Twitch channel.

The event is set to provide fans with an hour of content, breaking down the top 10 winners of the poll. Each mention will be introduced with a clip from the English dub of the anime, which the hosts will discuss and react to. The hosts include Toei Animation's Justin Rojas and Funimation's Lauren Moore. Special guest star Ian Sinclair, the English voice behind the Angel Whis, will also be in attendance. The event will also offer giveaways available throughout the show.
Dragon Ball Super first debuted in Japan in 2015 as the long-awaited followup to Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. The show initially adapted the stories told in the movies Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball: Resurrection F before continuing its own story. The earlier fights in the series could potentially suffer in the poll, as many fans were initially displeased by the quality of the animation in those episodes, which ultimately made the fights rather lackluster in comparison to the movies.
The story has maintained some momentum due to the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly and the ongoing manga, but there is no mention of these being included within the list of fights that qualified for the event. As such, the event will only cover fights from Beerus's debut up until the final clash in the Tournament of Power.
