Episode #0418! Mike, Chris, Scott, and Meri review the "Future Trunks arc" of the "Dragon Ball Super" TV series. As the series transitions from multiple movie retellings to a fun tournament diversion and now to a dark, serious setting, does it find an identity of its own? What value is there in torturing Trunks again, and do the end results give us an emotional payoff? What does the escalating scale of godly destruction bring to the table? Tune in for a discussion filled with our thoughts and your opinions as we look ahead to the "Universe Survival arc" this year!
