Our own universe was seemingly just the tip of the iceberg for Goku’s future battles. What once featured a muscular, caped Goku fighting against a lizard became a celebratory reunion with a pared down transformation fighting against a neutral cat god with a job to do. It seemed as if enough was enough: following his dissatisfaction with Dragon Ball Evolution, original manga author Akira Toriyama returned to his most popular franchise in 2013 to overhaul an in-progress Battle of Gods.
