The 131st episode of the Dragon Ball Super anime finished the Universal Survival arc in March 2018. However, two new arcs of Akira Toriyama’s continuing manga series have already been released. After Toei Animation announced plans for a new Dragon Ball Super film, fans worry if the anime series will be renewed.
The popular action shonen is very much alive thanks to new chapters of the Dragon Ball Super manga, and a new season with new episodes is due. Here’s everything you need to know about new Dragon Ball Super episodes.
When will new Dragon Ball Super episodes air?
After the anime’s 131-episode run, viewers are asking when Toei Animation would produce fresh episodes for the famous anime series. In the three years since Dragon Ball Super: Broly debuted in Japan, Toei has yet to announce the comeback of Dragon Ball Super anime. Hopefully, the studio will declare by mid-2021. As of May 20, 2021, Toei Animation hasn’t confirmed if more episodes of the anime series will be published after the movie.
Toei Animation released the first teaser for the next Dragon Ball Super film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, in July 2021. The studio revealed that the film is set a few years after the events of the Dragon Ball Super anime’s Tournament of Power arc. However, Toei Animation did not explain how the film’s events relate to the current manga arc.
Since Toei Animation announced a new feature in 2022, Season 2 of the anime series is anticipated to follow.
Could Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’s end lead to a new season? The two most recent manga arcs take place before the events of the upcoming film. Dragon Ball Super will have its own “Super Stage” during this year’s anime yearly event, Jump Festa confirmed in September 2021. No word on whether a new season of the Dragon Ball Super anime would be unveiled at the event.
While re-runs of Dragon Ball Super are available, our guide to where to stream Dragon Ball Super can be found here. Toei Animation confirms Dragon Ball Super Season 2. The new Dragon Ball Super website also included Toei animator Florence Jay Dominguito, who has been involved in different Dragon Ball projects since 2011. During the interview, Florence was questioned about his goals and aspirations for the future of the Dragon Ball franchise “As a fan, I eagerly await new films and goods. I’m also enthusiastic for the new Dragon Ball Super anime.”
Using machine translation, it’s easy to assume Dominguito indirectly confirmed Dragon Ball Super Season 2. However, his statement may have been mistranslated. “I’m also eager to see if there will be a fresh continuation of Dragon Ball Super TV anime,” the animator told Japanese translator Ken Xyro.
Ry Horikawa, the Japanese voice actor for Vegeta, recently hinted at returning for new episodes of Dragon Ball Super, but he gave no details. Toei Animation, Horikawa hinted, but didn’t explain why he’d recently gone.
Who will be the new Dragon Ball Supervillains?
The Galactic Patrol Prisoner storyline sends the Z-fighters to space and back to Earth, and introduces the malicious goat-looking wizard named Moro, drawn by current Dragon Ball Super artist Toyotarou. The Grand Supreme Kai’s seal on Moro’s magic cracked a few years before the end of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly Saga, around the time Goku destroyed Kid Buu. The next Dragon Ball Super episodes will presumably continue this saga, which ended in the manga in 2020.
Other Galactic Patrol inmates have escaped, and the following episodes will likely involve them fighting the Z-fighters on Earth. After Moro, the new Dragon Ball Super season will introduce Granola, but more on that later.
What is the latest Dragon Ball Super saga?
After the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, the Dragon Ball Super manga introduces Granola, the solitary survivor of the Cerealian race that was annihilated by the Saiyan army. The manga is continuously being updated with new chapters every month. In an interview in August 2021, current Dragon Ball Super artist/writer Toyatarou discussed Granolah’s design. He said he invented the character with Akira Toriyama’s approval. The latest chapters are free on Viz.
What’s new in the Dragon Ball Super manga?
Monitor tells a flashback of Granolah’s past in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 77, Bardock, the Father of Goku. On the planet Cereal, Goku’s father, Bardock saved Granola, Granolah’s mother, and Monaito 40 years ago. This is the first time Bardock has been seen in the series. The next chapter may disclose more about Bardock and Granolah’s past.
Will Goku re-use Ultra Instinct?
However, Goku appears to have lost his ability to enter Ultra Instinct towards the end of the anime series.
After all, his confrontation with Jiren drew out this tremendous form. According to the Galactic Patrol Prisoner serial, Goku’s Ultra Instinct form will return, but will he be able to fully master it and unleash it at will?
Read the manga to find out. So, Vegeta? A new form for him? Even though Vegeta doesn’t receive Ultra Instinct in the manga, he gets considerable training from the Yardrat, who taught Goku Instant Transmission. He also learns and uses a new technique called Forced Spirit Fission against Moro. Vegeta appears to be training with Beerus, while Goku is training with the angels. Vegeta unleashed his new Ultra Ego form at the end of Chapter 74, but he was defeated by Granola.

If Toei Animation launches a new season, these big anime streaming platforms will likely debut it.
How long after the movie will Dragon Ball Super Season 2?
Toei Animation has revealed that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be released in Japanese theatres in 2022, with North America and other areas likely following. It’s likely that if Toei confirms a second season for Dragon Ball Super, it will be years after the events in the film, as Super Hero was confirmed to be set before the Peaceful World Saga, the epilogue to Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball Super is cancelled in Japan!
This was owing to the sexual harassment incident involving Master Roshi’s behaviour in an episode during the Tournament of Power that aired in September 2021 in Buenos Aires and much of Argentina.
