Secret Battle Hour 2024 Confirmed!

DRAGON BALL Games Battle Hour is the ultimate Dragon Ball event that brings fans together from around the world!
For 2024, Battle Hour will take place in Los Angeles on January 28 and 29 (JST).
But that's not all! The fan-favorite Secret Battle Hour event from last year is back again and will be held on X (Twitter)!

What Is Secret Battle Hour?

Secret Battle Hour is a tournament held on X where randomly matched Dragon Ball characters go head-to-head to determine who's the strongest, and it's up to you to decide who wins!
For 2024, we’re changing things up! This time, the characters in this tournament will all be from the Dragon Ball Super manga, which released its 100th chapter in V Jump's Super-Sized February Edition!

To participate, simply vote for the character you think is stronger by Liking or Reposting each of the matchup posts on our X accounts!
The winner of each matchup will be determined by the total number of Likes and Reposts on both the Japanese (@DB_official_jp) and English (@DB_official_en) Dragon Ball Official X accounts!
The character who defeats all of the others and becomes the grand champion will even get a special wallpaper made of them!

The tournament will kick off on January 22 at 9:00 (JST), so save the date and don't forget to weigh in on who you think deserves to be crowned the strongest character!

Character Roster

This year, a total of 20 characters will be battling for the title of the strongest,
with the 19th and 20th ones being decided by votes from fans like you!

The tournament brackets were all decided by impartial selection.
