'Dragon Ball Super' final episode showing at 'The X' monument in Juárez canceled

Update: A public showing of the final episode of "Dragon Ball Super" at "The X" in Juárez that was set for Saturday has been canceled, the mayor said Friday afternoon.

Juárez Mayor Armando Cabada said the event was canceled because the city did not have permission to show the finale and concerns about strong winds forecast for Saturday.

Because of a translation error, the city had believed it had permission to show the final episode, No. 131, but it only had permission for the episodes already shown last weekend, the mayor said on social media.

Original: The final episode of the "Dragon Ball Super" anime series will be shown Saturday at "The X" monument in Juárez, the mayor said Thursday on social media.

A public showing of the second-to-last episode of the popular Japanese cartoon attracted 15,000 children, teens and adults to the monument last weekend, Juárez city officials said.

Juárez was among several cities in Latin America that had public gatherings last week of the second-to-last episode of the Spanish-dubbed television cartoon starring Goku.

Juárez Mayor Armando Cabado on Thursday posted on Facebook that the showing for the final episode was ready for this weekend. The series began in 2015. There have been other versions of the "Dragon Ball" show.

The free event Saturday will show the second-to-last episode, No. 130, and the final episode, No. 131, at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Plaza de la Mexicanidad (the Plaza of Mexican Identity) next to the border on Avenida Heroico Colegio Militar.

The public showing last week was in danger of being canceled until the Juárez mayor announced an agreement was reached with Toei Animation and Crunchyroll, the cartoon distributor in Latin America.
