"Dragon Ball Super: Super Start Guide" is a databook published on 03 July 2015 to promote the upcoming Dragon Ball Super anime series set to debut with episode 1 on 05 July 2015. The first Dragon Ball Super manga chapter went on sale on 20 June 2015.

Overview

Contents

Prologue

The Super Start Guide opens with a height chart for all the series characters; a map of Universe 7 with a short explanation of the 12 universes; screenshots from the first two episodes of the Dragon Ball Super anime alongside cast, staff, and premiere info; and teasers for Super's first original arc, the God of Destruction Champa arc. This arc would not begin in the anime until episode 35 which aired on 20 March 2016. Toyotarō began setting up the arc in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 2, published 18 July 2015.

Akira Toriyama

The first page in this section is a message from Akira Toriyama about the new story he has written, among other things:

Dragon Ball Super is a complete continuation of the Majin Boo story arc. It's got a bit of post-battle aftermath, continues with the Battle of Gods arc where the God of Destruction Beerus appears and the Resurrection 'F' arc where Freeza comes back to life, and then, I've written a strange new story where they finally depart from this universe. They're fighting against their neighbors, Universe 6! They'll yell at me if I give away too many spoilers, so I'll keep the rest a secret, but they're chasing after giant Super Dragon Balls; I think things will unfold in a bright and simple way, that will be really fun and exciting.

Since it's another universe, loads of new characters will turn up. I'll do my best to draw the tons of character designs necessary, so I'm looking forward to this too.

You know, it suddenly occurs to me that somewhere along the line the Dragon Ball anime has become quite a huge story. Since I'm the guy who drew the thing, it's a bit weird for me to say this, but when I first started out I never dreamed it would have a universe as a setting (laughs). Don’t worry though, it's still going to be the same sort of easy-to-understand content as always. Please be sure to watch Dragon Ball Super on TV!
— Akira Toriyama[1]
