Opening Animation

The second opening animation is a departure from [[CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA] in many ways. Focus shifts from Son Goku to Son Gohan, depicting characters important to the Gohan-centric episodes that will start the Boo Arc including Videl, Erasa, and Sharpna as well as the Great Saiyaman identity. The opening also uses flashbacks and reflections to portray Gohan's journey as central to the series.

Breakdown

Scene	Notes	Visual Reference
	Clouds part and we see Son Gohan, Son Goten, and Trunks riding on Shenlong. Gohan and the others are wearing their first major post-time skip outfits: Gohan is wearing his Gold Star High School uniform, introduced in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 421|chapter 421] and episode 199; Trunks his oversized Capsule Corp shirt from chapter 423 and episode 201; and Goten his "Mao-suit" from chapter 424 and episode 204. Introducing Goten in a Chinese-style design may be a callback to Gohan's introductory design in chapter 195.
	Piccolo quickly flies by. His design remains unchanged in the time skip. It was first introduced in Dragon Ball Episode 133.
	Kuririn and Artificial Human No. 18 fly by. Both are using designs introduced in chapter 430 and episode 208, although Kuririn is wearing his training clothes, while No. 18 is wearing her tournament clothes. No. 18's outfit is a variant on what she wore when first introduced in episode 133, except she no longer wears the Red Ribbon Army jacket and her slacks are now blue.
	After swinging back in to Trunks for a peace sign, Vegeta soars in to dominate the frame. He is wearing his Cell Arc version of his body armor (with the yellow shoulder straps and no shoulder pads), first seen in chapter 342. All other characters in this scene have their Boo Arc designs.
	The Dragon Ball Z title card appears, identical to the ones used previously in the series.
	The next sequence in the opening depicts flashbacks to events in the previous arcs. First, Son Goku as a Super Saiyan fires a kamehameha blast. This may be intended to resemble his "full power" kamehameha during the Cell Games (chapter 401), but that blast was only primed from midair and not fired. Goku is wearing his kanji-less gi first introduced after the time skip at the end of chapter 336.
	Vegeta, as a Super Saiyan, launches a punch. While this could be referencing several fights in the series, it most closely resembles a panel during Vegeta's battle against Artificial Human No. 19 during chapter 344. He is wearing the same outfit as above.
	Future Trunks slashes an unseen assailant with his sword. Although the angle is different, this may be an homage to Trunk's battle against Freeza at the beginning of his time in the present. He's wearing his Capsule Corp jacket and outfit from his introduction in chapter 330.
	Piccolo launches a punch. It is not clear which battle this moment may be paying homage to.
	Gohan screams as he is about to become Super Saiyan 2 for the very first time, as seen in chapter 388.
	A darkened sky clears and Son Gohan as a teen looks towards the camera. He is dressed as before in his Orange Star High School uniform. The darkened sky may imply a wish on the Dragon Balls, but neither they nor Shenlong are present in this scene.
