Dragon Ball Super Fans Devastated by Long-Awaited Anime Return News!

by

Today marks eight years since the final episode of the Dragon Ball Super TV anime aired, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any news about future episodes, but sadly, no return is imminent. The revitalized Dragon Ball Super served as an exciting new chapter for the then seemingly stagnant Dragon Ball franchise. After the success of Battle of Gods and Resurrection F feature films, the franchise returned with a more comprehensive sequel to Dragon Ball Z in the form of a new TV anime series, taking Goku and his companions on an exhilarating journey through a multiverse teeming with powerful adversaries and opportunities for them to unlock their divine abilities.

For 131 episodes, Dragon Ball Super aired on television, with its final episode premiering in Japan on March 25, 2018. It’s been eight years since the series bid farewell to Goku and his companions, and while there have been new franchise installments during that time, fans are still eagerly awaiting the long-anticipated continuation of the TV anime. As we mark this milestone for Dragon Ball Super, it serves as a reminder that a full-fledged return of the series is something we’ve yet to experience.

Dragon Ball Super Didn’t Really End With the Anime

Despite Dragon Ball Super concluding in 2018 after the Tournament of Power, there was optimism about the franchise’s future. This hope proved justified when it was announced that a new film would be released, easing concerns about the anime series’ continuation. The movie, titled Dragon Ball Super: Broly, brought forth unexpected twists as it continued the story from the TV show and integrated the non-canon movie villain Broly into the main series timeline. Moreover, it delved deeper into the Saiyans’ origins, adding another layer to their backstory.

The success of Dragon Ball Super continued as its official manga debuted, introducing two new story arcs, Galactic Patrol Prisoner and Granolah the Survivor, which were not part of the anime or movie versions. This sparked excitement among fans about the possibility of future episodes, and this anticipation intensified with the release of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film, which unfolded after these arcs. The manga then added to the suspense with a dramatic Frieza cliffhanger that remains unresolved.

Is Dragon Ball Super Ever Coming Back?

The Dragon Ball anime series franchise has recently returned with the debut of Dragon Ball Daima, offering a fresh narrative apart from the existing ones. This was a significant development since it marked the final story penned by series creator Akira Toriyama, altering the course of Dragon Ball timeline forever. However, it’s essential to clarify that this isn’t the continuation of Dragon Ball Super fans had been eagerly awaiting. Given that the manga is currently on a break (and in a suspenseful state) following Toriyama’s passing, the prospect of delivering a follow-up could prove even more challenging.

As a dedicated fan of Dragon Ball Super, I’m optimistic that we haven’t seen the last of this amazing series yet! The creators are keen on keeping the franchise alive, but they want to wrap up the manga story first before diving back into the anime. This means it could be a while until our favorite Z-Warriors return to our screens. However, let’s not forget that good things come to those who wait! So, while we might have to endure some waiting periods like this one, the return of Dragon Ball Super is definitely within the realm of possibility. Fingers crossed and stay tuned!
