Dragon Ball’s Shocking Return: What’s Next?

by

Summary

  • Black Frieza emerges as the greatest threat in the multiverse, with his new overpowered form.
  • The Universe 6 arc promises a massive Saiyan reunion, important for the heroes and their history.
  • Fan demand for a multiversal arc grows post-Tournament of Power, with the potential for powerful villains.

After the sudden and startling death of the renowned Akira Toriyama, his famous “Dragon Ball” series temporarily stopped production. Even though this break continues without a definite resumption date for the series, given Toriyama’s immense impact on manga as one of the greatest mangakas ever, it’s not surprising that such an extended pause would occur. Toriyama’s work has inspired many significant series and writers throughout history.

Despite some disappointment with the ending, fans find solace in Toyotarou’s competence as the new writer. He has hinted that Dragon Ball will resume eventually, sparking discussions among fans about potential plot developments. With the main characters now stronger than ever, speculation abounds on where the story might head next. Let’s explore the possible directions the series could take in its future chapters.

Black Frieza Will Be The Greatest Threat To The Multiverse

The Return of the Franchise’s Greatest Villain

  • The only arc that is confirmed for the story so far is the Black Frieza.

Among all potential paths for the Dragon Ball Super story upon its return, the only one that seems almost certain to be an arc is the Black Frieza saga. Following the intense struggles of the Granolah arc, Goku and Vegeta eventually faced their most formidable adversary at the end – a foe who made a grand comeback to the series in his spectacularly powerful new Black Frieza form, surpassing even the heroes’ strongest transformations.

Currently, Black Frieza stands as the strongest known mortal across the entire multiverse, given his extraordinary potential that he refined over a decade of training to achieve his latest state. Because he is the sole confirmed adversary for our heroes when the series comes back, the storyline revolving around him is the only one guaranteed to be included. Yet, due to his significant role in the narrative, it’s uncertain whether this will mark the beginning or the end of the arc in the return of Super.

The Universe 6 Arc Allows A Massive Reunion Of Saiyans

The Most Important One For The Heroes

  • This arc has been teased since the early days of Super.

The concept of the multiverse was initially introduced in Dragon Ball when Universe 6 was unveiled. This revelation left both the characters and fans astonished, for it was confirmed that this universe harbored another planet inhabited by Saiyans. A significant aspect of this universe revolved around Cabba and Vegeta’s bond, with Cabba vowing to guide his new mentor through Planet Sadala and introduce him to the King and other Saiyans.

This storyline has been eagerly anticipated by fans, as it is set to explore in-depth the historical background of the Saiyan race, a subject matter that has sparked great interest. Moreover, this arc holds significant importance for Vegeta, a character that has long held a special place among series enthusiasts. Fans have been requesting more focus on Vegeta’s story for quite some time now, and it appears that their wishes are finally being granted in this particular arc.

Another Multiversal Arc Could Be On The Horizon

A Deeper Look Into The Multiverse

  • Fans have been asking for much more multiverse content.

Following the finale of the Tournament of Power arc in the anime, the narrative progressed with the Moro and Granolah storylines, available only in the manga at this point. These arcs, filled with memorable highlights for fans, were primarily focused on Universe 7, despite a widespread desire among viewers for the series to explore more aspects of the multiverse. Many felt that such an expansion would have allowed Dragon Ball to present distinctive tales it might not have been able to otherwise.

The idea of the multiverse is fascinating because it’s home to incredibly potent characters that exceed any danger the Z-Fighters had previously encountered prior to the Tournament of Power. This presents an exciting chance to introduce the most powerful villain yet, someone so dominant that the entire multiverse must unite to vanquish them. The characters from various universes are captivating and audiences yearn for their return, making this storyline ideal for bringing them back.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
