Beginning on 8 July, the brand-new season will welcome a new hero in the form of Beerus, as well as a new emote. There will also be four new skins to enjoy, and then, from 22 July onwards, players can expect even more content, although what this will be, remains a secret for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n                                                                                            <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra Goku image from trailer\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dragon-ball-gekishin-squadra-goku-image-from-trailer.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/DBGekishinSquadra\/comments\/1unuz18\/so_season_6_lets_talk_about_it_opinions_ahead\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">r\/DBGekishinSquadra<\/a>, it seems as though one fan is not happy with the plans for Season 6, and took to Reddit to share their anger. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now let&#8217;s begin with the two biggest problems I&#8217;ve seen everyone talk about, new ways for the character reveals and the Goku and Piccolo skins. I want to start off by saying I&#8217;m not a huge fan of this character reveal change. I get it&#8217;s &#8220;to keep anticipation&#8221;, which sounds fine on paper as an excuse, but it&#8217;s honestly to make people spend money on one character in the chances they might release their favorite character right after, so they have less resources and have to buy gems if they REALLY want those emotes, let&#8217;s be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They go on to complain about having to wait weeks between major releases, as well as express disappointment over the brand-new Piccolo skin which will come as part of the in-game gacha system. Put simply, players will need to pay money in order to have the chance of getting the skin.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the user added, &#8220;Not too excited for this season. Beerus is cool. I&#8217;m excited for him and, well&#8230; that&#8217;s it. Nothing else to say. Everything else kind of ruins my mood a bit, except for the patch notes, which were alright. Again, not the worst, not the best, but I&#8217;ll take it over what we&#8217;ve been getting recently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With other fans claiming that they will also be giving this season a miss, it seems as though <em><strong>Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra<\/strong> <\/em>is in the trenches at the moment, even if tons of new content is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card
