Akira Toriyama's new saga, the Dragon Ball Super, kicked off with a new and exciting story arc that the viewers would not like to miss. The "Universal Survival" saga marks some new beginning for the show.

The start of the new storyline begins with a new opening song. But furthermore, the show acquired two new directors namely Tatsuya Nagamine and Ryota Nakamura.

According to Comic Book, Dragon Ball Super already has five directors since the beginning of the animated series. The first three were Kimitoshi Chioka, Morio Hatano and then, Kohei Hatano.

Nakamura has experience directing other Dragon Ball franchises more than Nagamine. However, the latter is also credited for directing other animated films and series such as Digimon and One Piece Film Z.
