There's been rumor that yes, the next installment of Dragon Ball Super anime is in the works at Toei, and the company seemed to confirm more Dragon Ball anime was coming, back when the series first went on hiatus.
Toei Animation and series creator Akira Toriyama promised big new things to come for the anime, after Dragon Ball Super 's initial hiatus, but there has been no official word on the next installment of the anime - nor has there been an update on the next Dragon Ball Super movie.
Then things went sideways for fans: Toei Animation ended the Dragon Ball Super anime in 2018 with episode 131 - right at the height of its popularity. Even though the story of Dragon Ball Super has continued with the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie and a bold new manga arc, many fans have been stuck wondering:
It's not a direct confirmation that there would be even more anime on the way, but it's clear that Dragon Ball has something planned for fans.
The animation director of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Shintani, changed the game for the franchise. Now fans want more Dragon Ball anime under Shintani's vision. I think the fact that it's still a massive money maker without them having to put out any production costs offsets paying animation staff to continue the franchise.
There haven't been any official announcements regarding "Dragon Ball Super" Season 2, but fans can likely expect it to premiere within the next year or two. The upcoming "Dragon Ball Super" movie is coming out in 2022, and Toei Animation will probably spread out the premieres a bit.
As of May 2022, Toei Animation and Shueisha haven't announced any plans to bring back the Dragon Ball Super anime series, but that's probably because they're more focused on hyping up fans for the upcoming movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, which was originally set to release in Japanese theaters this April but has ...
On top of DLC content for Dragon Ball: Kakarot, the web series Super Dragon Ball Heroes continues to release new episodes alongside its expanded manga spin-off. However, the marketing for this collector's edition seems to indicate, at first, that Dragon Ball Super is over.
The executives are officially accusing Roshi of engaging in sexual abuse. Now, Cartoon Network and Warner Media are pulling Dragon Ball Super from the air in Buenos Aires and much of Argentina following the complaint. Of course, this could change in the future.
Goku is also stated to be the 'God of the Dragons' as the 'First Omni-King' was said to be the most powerful dragon in existence. It is stated by Shido that Goku can easily erase Erion and also his former and most powerful incarnation the Fallen by only in his base and Super Saiyan forms.
Five anime instalments based on the franchise have been produced by Toei Animation: Dragon Ball (1986); Dragon Ball Z (1989); Dragon Ball GT (1996); and Dragon Ball Super (2015); followed by the web series Super Dragon Ball Heroes (2018).
Goku is 37 years old, but when looking at both of Goku's deaths in the Dragon Ball universe, he hasn't been alive for eight of those years, with his physical age being closer to 30 as a result.
At the end of the day, the events of Dragon Ball Super haven't changed enough in order to make it so that the "End of Z" doesn't logically take place and it is still entirely possible that the series of events that leads Goku and company straight to Uub during the World Martial Arts Tournament will still take place.
Toei continues to earn money on the Dragon Ball brand, but the lack of new content has led to diminishing returns. A recent financial report indicated that, since the release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Toei has been earning less and less money for Dragon Ball per year. Toei needs major new Dragon Ball content.
Toei needs major new Dragon Ball content. Most likely, this would mean either a new Dragon Ball Super film or the revival of the Dragon Ball Super TV series. There could also be a new Dragon Ball sequel series that follows Super.
While the Dragon Ball Super manga continues on with the Moro arc, it is unclear what will occur in the future of the franchise. Any concerns that fans might have previously had, however, were made exponentially worse with the release of the Dragon Ball Super: The Complete Series Blu-ray collection. The labeling of "The Complete Series" indicates ...
The manga is still ongoing, which is very strong evidence that the anime will still retain its DBS identity and canon - but again, not confirmed.
Those extensions of the main series are earning either profit or attention, for the franchise, so really, there's no rush for Dragon Ball Super ...
Dragon Ball Super has done the near-impossible: it has surpassed Dragon Ball Z as a worldwide phenomenon. In fact, during its climatic Tournament of Power arc, Dragon Ball Super had fans all over the globe on the edge of their seats, watching Goku's evolution to godly levels of power with Ultra Instinct. Then things went sideways ...
No one outside of Toei and its merchandising / licensing partners really knows for sure, right now. There's been rumor that yes, the next installment of Dragon Ball Super anime is in the works at Toei, and the company seemed to confirm more Dragon Ball anime was coming, back when the series first went on hiatus.
No, we don't mean the sequel to the Dragonball: Evolution live-action movie, because no one (except Maze Runner star Dylan O'Brien) wants that. What we do mean, is that a hiatus in Dragon Ball Super 's story could be used effectively to help the series evolve into its next form.
Dragon Ball Super has pumped out a lot of episodes since its 2015 debut, and even if the team working on the series isn't the same exact lineup also working on the movie, there's still the possibility that attention on the movie was the perfect opportunity to give the makers of Dragon Ball Super a well-deserved break.
New ‘Dragon Ball Super’ Coming in 2022, Because We Never Can Have Enough Goku. Plus the manga creator teases “an unexpected character.”. After Dragon Ball Super: Broly smashed the anime box office when it premiered back in 2018, and with Demon Slayer continuing to slay the weekend box office, it’s no surprise to hear that Toei Animation wants ...
It’s been nearly 40 years since the debut of the original Dragon Ball manga, and yet the franchise has remained ever popular. Though the series remained one of the most popular manga during its 10 and a half year-long run, the franchise became a cultural phenomenon in the U.S. when the sequel anime Dragon Ball Z started airing on Cartoon Network’s Toonami programming block, introducing a whole new generation to the wonders of anime and putting the entire Toonami block on the map as the destination for exciting anime content during the ‘90s

Dragon Ball Super premiered back in 2015 as a sequel to Dragon Ball Z, set 10 years after the defeat of Majin Buu and introducing brand new Saiyan forms. Now, the release of a new film set in the Super continuity is exciting for many reasons, but the main one is the involvement of original creator Toriyama, which would make this only ...
Why Toei hasn’t further capitalized on Dragon Ball’s success with more anime material seriously boggles my mind. I honestly think these numbers could double if they brought Dragon Ball Super back. https://t.co/8Op18aUzrS
Then there is the problem that they are terrified to do anything with the anime without Toryiyama but his passion for DB had passed on a while ago, and with his involvement the stuff we get usually ends up being mediocre or just outright bad at some points
Especially with the Shintani on board as animation director and character designer 👌🏼
I think the fact that it's still a massive money maker without them having to put out any production costs offsets paying animation staff to continue the franchise.
And every 3-5 yrs bringing a movie out to resparks interest and hype. I dont see any reason 4 them 2 bring the anime back. Specially since the fandom will critizise it as soon as something goes against their likings. Wich only lead to bad press for them
I think maybe the end of 2021 we’ll get something, but I’m kinda upset it’s not coming back sooner.
