There’s a new ending for Dragon Ball Super. Not only is it excellent, but it’s also subtly nostalgic.
This is ending number eight for the series, which has typically featured terrific closing tunes. This track, “Boogie Back,” is a standout.

What also works so well for this closer is how it tastefully references the “Romantic Ageru Yo” (“I’ll Give You Romance”) ending for Dragon Ball.
The songs are different, but not showcasing Bulma and feature similar imagery, but do evoke similar feelings.

Bulma made "I'll give you Romance" work because it kinda seemed like a theme for her, so it's good they did something similar
