A martial arts champion living with his family must protect Earth from increasingly dangerous extraterrestrial threats. As the battles escalate, he and his allies train, grow stronger, and face powerful enemies across a long-running series of action-packed adventures.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like intense battles, dramatic transformations, colorful characters, and long-form adventures like Dragon Ball Super or One Piece; Not for you if slow pacing and repetitive story patterns frustrate you.
