Dragon Ball Super is the Japanese anime sequel to Dragon Ball Z, broadcast from 2015 to 2018, and like many long-running Japanese television anime it used eyecatches to mark its commercial breaks. These short bumpers became familiar to viewers who watched episodes as they aired or streamed them, and clips of them have since circulated widely among fans online. The eyecatch remains popular because it instantly signals Dragon Ball Super, making it a quick shorthand for anime nostalgia in edits, memes and reaction videos.
