Fans of *Dragon Ball* have been worried about the series’ future, but the producer has shared encouraging news. While the franchise has been mostly paused since the passing of its creator, Akira Toriyama, a new anime, *Dragon Ball Daima*, recently premiered, expanding the story between *Dragon Ball Z* and *Dragon Ball Super*. This has led fans to wonder if there’s still potential for more content even after Toriyama’s death.
It looks like more *Dragon Ball* is on the way! Akio Iyoku, a producer on the series, recently mentioned in a Japanese booklet for *Dragon Ball Daima* (as reported by @Venixys on X) that the team is actively developing future plans and ensuring the *Dragon Ball* story continues. While he hasn’t revealed exactly what those plans are, it’s encouraging news for fans, especially since no further details have been announced yet.
Dragon Ball Producer Teases Dragon Ball’s Future
Iyoku asked fans if they enjoyed the new series, *Dragon Ball Daima*. He then shared that work on future *Dragon Ball* projects is already underway, and the series will continue beyond *Daima*. While he didn’t give specifics about what’s next, this is encouraging news, especially considering the challenges of continuing the series without the direct involvement of Akira Toriyama.
Following Akira Toriyama’s death, the future of the *Dragon Ball* series is uncertain, and there’s some confusion about who controls the rights now. Iyoku has hinted at continuing the series, and it seems more likely they’ll focus on new anime episodes, as that’s easier to produce than continuing the *Dragon Ball Super* manga. While fans are eager to see the manga continue and resolve its cliffhangers, creating new anime content appears to be the most practical next step.
Dragon Ball Daima Carved Out a New Path Forward
Dragon Ball Daima shows us a potential path forward for the Dragon Ball series now that Akira Toriyama has passed away. Like Dragon Ball GT, Daima was initially planned without his direct involvement. While Toriyama later contributed, this likely represents the future of the franchise: original stories featuring Dragon Ball characters at different points in time. These stories may not even be considered official parts of the main Dragon Ball storyline.
Fans are used to *Dragon Ball*’s movies telling standalone stories, separate from the main plot. Now that Akira Toriyama is no longer involved, *Dragon Ball* will likely continue with completely new anime and movie storylines. There’s a ten-year gap between the end of the Majin Buu saga and the series finale, giving the creators plenty of room to develop these original adventures.
