DBS Volume 24 Gives Fans A Fresh Look At Black Frieza

by

Summary

  • Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 features Black Frieza illustration, aligning with main character transformations.
  • Release date for Volume 24 in Japan set for April 4, 2025, compiling Chapters 101 to 104.
  • Uncertainty surrounds Dragon Ball Super return with no info on new season or Chapter 205 release after hiatus.

The upcoming Volume 24 of Dragon Ball Super is set to release in Japan soon, and the captivating artwork on the back features Black Frieza. This complements the front cover beautifully, which already showcases Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo, all transformed to their greatest known abilities.

As an observer, I’ve noticed that “Dragon Ball Super” has been taking a break since March 2024, with a brief resumption in February 2025 when Chapter 204 was unveiled (initially billed as a special chapter). Some enthusiasts are holding out hope for updates following the release of the latest volume, but it appears that such news might not be forthcoming soon.

Black Frieza In The Back Cover of Dragon Ball Super’s Latest Volume

Shueisha has uploaded fresh visuals for Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 on their site, unveiling that the rear cover artwork depicts Black Frieza. The illustration by Toyotaro resembles the cover design, showcasing our primary characters in their strongest transformations.

To clarify, this isn’t a fresh drawing; it was initially unveiled at Jump Festa 2025, which took place in December 2024. Additionally, there’s an illustration of Shimorekka, a supporting antagonist from the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, on the book spine.

Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 Release Date

In a matter of days, on April 4, 2025, Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 will hit Japanese shelves. This compilation includes Chapters 101 to 104 and marks the end of the Super Hero Saga. As per current information, this is the final arc that Akira Toriyama directly contributed to, but it’s possible he came up with ideas for the subsequent arc before his passing.

Brief information about the volume was shared in the latest Dragon Ball Weekly News Broadcast:

As a fervent fan, I can’t help but share my excitement that VIZ Media hasn’t revealed the U.S. release date for the upcoming volume just yet, but based on past patterns, we might be able to get our hands on it within the next couple of months!

When Will Dragon Ball Super Chapter 205 Be Released?

Regrettably, we don’t have any updates yet on when the series will resume after its break. Some enthusiasts had been anticipating that Chapter 205 might be released in April or beyond, as suggested by the latest issue of V-JUMP, but it seems that’s not the case.

It’s possible that some information may surface following the publication of Volume 24, though it appears rather improbable at present. For now, fans must keep their fingers crossed and stay tuned for updates from V-JUMP or an authorized source, as no upcoming date for Chapter 205 has been announced yet.

The most recent edition doesn’t indicate that Dragon Ball Super is being terminated; instead, it appears to continue in publication. It could be that Toyotaro encounters challenges while writing without Toriyama or perhaps due to rights issues surrounding the franchise, but for now, there seems to be no intention to halt the manga’s release.

Dragon Ball Super is available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
