Dragon Ball Super’s Anime Might Be Coming Back Sooner Than You Think

Fans are speculating that *Dragon Ball Super* could make a significant return in 2026. There are hints that new anime or manga content might arrive even sooner, with a recent event suggesting major announcements are coming. The *Dragon Ball Super* anime hasn’t had new episodes since the *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero* movie in 2022, although the manga continued the story for a while. Sadly, the manga also paused after the creator, Akira Toriyama, passed away in 2024. There was a short return with one chapter that adapted Toriyama’s final story ideas.

As a huge Dragon Ball fan, I’ve been so excited about the new anime, Dragon Ball Daima! It’s really special knowing it includes some of Akira Toriyama’s final work. Producer Akio Iyoku and his team approached it as its own story, which I think is great. And the best part? Iyoku has hinted that we might get even *more* Dragon Ball anime in the future – possibly as soon as next year! Fingers crossed, that would be amazing!

Dragon Ball Has Big Plans for 2026

To celebrate its 40th anniversary, *Dragon Ball* is holding a special event in Japan on January 25th, where they’ll reveal new projects. While one project is confirmed to be a new video game, another remains a secret. Fans are hoping this could mean a new *Dragon Ball* anime series, and it seems likely the franchise will revive *Dragon Ball Super*, based on a recent discovery by fans before the event.

The official social media for *Dragon Ball Super* recently removed “2015” from its account name, a small change that has fans speculating about a potential update to the series. Many believe this could hint at an announcement at an upcoming event, and possibly even a new season of the anime arriving sometime in 2026 or early 2027. This has naturally created a lot of excitement among fans about what the future holds for *Dragon Ball Super*.

Will There Be a New Dragon Ball Anime?

Fans of *Dragon Ball* are hoping the anime series *Dragon Ball Super* will adapt the Galactic Patrol Prisoner and Granolah the Survivor story arcs from the manga, which follow the events of *Dragon Ball Super: Broly*. This could be a great way to continue the series after Akira Toriyama’s passing, as the manga ended on a major cliffhanger following *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero*. However, there’s also a chance we might see a completely new *Dragon Ball* anime project announced instead.

There are many possibilities for the future of *Dragon Ball*. The creators could decide to make another movie instead of a new TV series – they might even bring back an old villain and make them part of the official story. Whatever they do, fans will likely be excited. It’s definitely something to watch out for to see what’s next for *Dragon Ball*.
