Dragon Ball Super Reveals Power Absorbed Errata Update

Dragon Ball Super Card Game announces the new Errata Update which will impact gameplay as of the Power Absorbed set release.


Bandai has the first Dragon Ball Super Card Game set of 2023. This expansion is the third in the Zenkai Series, the set block which kicked off in September 2022 and saw the introduction of Z-Cards as well as a change in the holo pattern used for Super Rares, Special Rares, and Secret Rares. This set, Power Absorbed (full name being Zenkai Series – Power Absorbed), is the twentieth main set and has quite a few strong themes, including the debut appearance of the Saiyan Cumber in a Prison Planet Saga-focused Black-section. Power Absorbed is also notable for sections of cards based on the Super 17 Saga, Krillin and Android 18's family, the Tournament of Power, and the Buu Saga. Now that this set has been released, Bleeding Cool will showcase cards from this latest Dragon Ball Super Card Game expansion. With the release of a new set, Bandai updates changes to gameplay, including errata on cards. Today, let's take a look at the new updates that have been released alongside Zenkai Series – Power Absorbed.
