The massive screening was streamed in stadiums, plazas and parks in each city and were done to commemorate the 130th episode of the [iconic anime series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonball-collection). Fans flocked to these events, with the Ciudad Juárez event reportedly attracting over 10 thousand people. The screening of Dragon Ball Super drew the attention of the anime's studio, [Toei Animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-project), which had not authorized the events and issued a formal statement warning the legal issues behind non-authorized streaming platforms. Regardless, the cities have stood by their respective screenings and Ciudad Juárez has even reached out to the company to secure full authorization.
