Primary
The series primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal growth, martial arts mastery, and the protection of the universe from various threats, without engaging in specific political ideologies or critiques.
Dragon Ball Super, as a Japanese anime, features a diverse cast of characters inherent to its universe, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles traditionally considered white. The narrative primarily focuses on action and adventure, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities without explicit critique.
Secondary
The series features Android 18, a powerful female character, who engages in direct physical combat against multiple male opponents. She demonstrates superior strength and martial arts skill, successfully eliminating several male fighters from the Tournament of Power through close-quarters engagements.
Dragon Ball Super does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on martial arts, intergalactic battles, and character development, without explicit representation or exploration of queer identities or experiences.
Dragon Ball Super does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on martial arts, cosmic battles, and character development within that context, with no depiction of transgender identity.
Dragon Ball Super introduces new characters, including female Saiyans like Caulifla and Kale, but these are original to the series and not gender-swapped versions of previously established characters. All legacy characters retain their canonical genders.
