Dragon Ball Super Manga’s Indefinite Hiatus Continues: What’s Next?

Dragon Ball Super‘s Indefinite Hiatus

The Dragon Ball Super manga is currently on an indefinite hiatus. This pause started after the death of creator Akira Toriyama. It will continue through at least the end of this year. The franchise is now shifting focus to a new anime series titled Dragon Ball Daima, which will be the last project to feature Toriyama’s direct input.

Following Toriyama’s passing, the future of the Dragon Ball Super manga remains uncertain. Different individuals involved in the franchise have expressed interest in developing new entries after Dragon Ball Daima, but this is more complicated for the manga. The manga was under Toriyama’s guidance while expanding the story beyond the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero arc. The manga went on hiatus after Chapter 103, released on March 20, aligning with the then-latest anime release.

Future of Dragon Ball Super Manga

Fans are eager to see if Dragon Ball Super will resume with new chapters. The artist Toyotaro has stated he wants to continue the series, but doing so without Toriyama’s direction poses a challenge. The anime is progressing with new stories, while Toyotaro would need to create new content that fits the established timeline left behind by Toriyama.

There is a possibility that the manga may return in the future. However, resuming the series will depend on various factors. Shueisha, the publisher, will need to approve new storylines, which will be developed without Toriyama’s explicit consent. Similar situations have occurred, like with the manga Berserk, which continued after its creator’s death.

For the Dragon Ball Super manga to come back, Toyotaro needs to have solid ideas and support from Shueisha. Fan support will also be vital to ensure the series continues long enough to resolve ongoing storylines, including the conflict with Black Frieza. Fans’ enthusiasm will play a critical role in guiding the series forward.
