When Will Dragon Ball Super Return?

It appears that there’s no definite news about Dragon Ball Super resuming from its break in the near future. While some enthusiasts had hoped for an update on the series during Goku Day, it seems we might need to be patient a bit more. However, since Toyotaro has confirmed that the series isn’t canceled, fans can take comfort in knowing that it will eventually come back.

In simple terms, Dragon Ball Super concluded its Super Hero Saga before taking a break, and there’s a good chance it will pick up with the eagerly anticipated Black Frieza storyline when it resumes publication. Many fans anticipate this could be the final chapter of the series, possibly even surpassing other arcs as the best Dragon Ball arc yet. However, it’s possible that Toyotaro might introduce another storyline before diving into the Black Frieza saga.

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