The passing of Akira Toriyama two years ago marked an indefinite hiatus in the world of Dragon Ball, leaving many fans anticipating the future of the saga. Despite this, during this time complementary projects have emerged such as Dragon Ball Daima and the conclusion of secondary series like Super Dragon Ball Heroes. However, the main manga, responsible for advancing the story of Goku and his friends, had remained stagnant until now.

A reconstructed arch

In a significant turn, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has been announced, a new version that promises to revive the saga of the god of destruction, Beerus. This adaptation, scheduled to consist of only six episodes, aims to correct the past mistakes that characterized the original storyline of Dragon Ball Super,which was criticized for inadequate designs, poor animation quality, and a script that felt unnecessarily stretched.

Presented at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour event in Los Angeles, the trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus offered a glimpse of what promises to be smooth animation and enhanced designs, as well as a condensed story that will surprise fans. At the end of the trailer, it is hinted that the narrative could extend beyond The Battle of the Gods, generating anticipation for new revelations.

It is expected that on May 9, on the occasion of “Goku Day,” more details about the manga reboot by Toyotaro will be announced. Fans are eager to know the direction the franchise will take in this new phase and hope that the magic of Dragon Ball returns with strength. In a time of change and revitalization, there is high hope that this new series can offer what its predecessors could not.

Masako Nozawa, the iconic voice actress who has brought Goku to life for nearly 40 years in the Dragon Ball franchise, has surprised her fans by revealing an interesting detail about her working method. In a recent interview, Nozawa confessed that she has never read the Dragon Ball manga. This decision aims to keep intact the surprise her character would feel when facing new enemies, which she considers essential for her performance.

Masako Nozawa, the iconic voice actress who has brought Goku to life for nearly 40 years in the Dragon Ball franchise, has surprised her fans by revealing an interesting detail about her working method. In a recent interview, Nozawa confessed that she has never read the Dragon Ball manga. This decision aims to keep the surprise her character would feel when facing new enemies intact, which she considers essential for her performance.

Doesn’t want to know more than Goku

“I am one with Goku, so I would feel the same as him and I would say it bluntly: ‘What kind of villain is going to come out…?!’ If I know what is going to happen and Goku does not, it would create a sense of dissonance,” Nozawa explained. This approach allows her to remain authentic in her role and prevents the knowledge of future events from affecting her interpretation.

The actress also mentioned that in the dubbing studio she tries to avoid any type of spoiler, and that the producers respect her decision to not be aware of what is coming next in the series. This system has proven to be effective, as the audience has come to associate her voice inseparably with the character of Goku, making her an irreplaceable figure within the realm of anime.

Nozawa considers Goku as a part of herself, which makes her dedication to the character even deeper. Over the decades, her commitment to the role has not only contributed to the ongoing success of the franchise but has also left an indelible mark on pop culture and in the hearts of Dragon Ball fans around the world.

Although in February 2025 a brief self-contained chapter focused on the characters Goten and Trunks was released, the main plot remains stalled.

This June marks ten years since the start of ‘Dragon Ball Super’, a work created by Akira Toriyama and continued by his disciple Toyotaro. However, the manga has been on hiatus for over a year, leaving fans eager for news. Although a brief self-contained chapter focusing on the characters Goten and Trunks was released in February 2025, the main storyline remains stalled.

A year of waiting, which is said quickly

Amid this uncertainty, Toyotaro has celebrated the anniversary with a prominent illustration featuring Goku Ultra Instinct and Gohan Beast performing a Kamehameha. This image evokes iconic moments from the series, such as the father-son joint attack against Cell, and reaffirms the legacy of the work in the ‘Dragon Ball’ universe. Although we have not yet seen these transformations in the series, the illustration suggests that the author is actively working on the future of the manga.

Recently, a special project related to ‘Dragon Ball Super’ has been announced. However, fans have been disappointed to discover that it is a collectible figure based on the anniversary illustration and not the anticipated return of the anime. This marketing strategy, although frustrating, continues to fuel the expectation surrounding ‘Dragon Ball’.

It is crucial to remember that after Toriyama’s death, a battle for the rights to exploit his work has erupted, which could be influencing the pause of the manga. Nevertheless, there are reasons to keep hope for news. With key events like Anime Expo and San Diego Comic Con approaching, it is possible that announcements about the return of ‘Dragon Ball Super’ in new or renewed formats will be made.

The last volume of Dragon Ball that Akira Toriyama participated in will arrive soon

On April 4, 2024, volume 24 of Dragon Ball Super was released in Japan, the last one in which Akira Toriyama participated, marking the end of an era for the iconic series. This volume, considered essential for its enriched content, features the collaboration of Toyotaro, the current custodian of the saga, who has redrawn scenes, corrected expressions, and added previously unseen details. Among the included chapters are 101 to 104, as well as special illustrations and a record of over 12 million copies sold. A final volume that promises some great surprises […]

Among the included chapters are 101 to 104, as well as special illustrations and a record of over 12 million copies sold.

A final volume that promises some great surprises

The extraordinary cover, created by Toyotaro, features the five protagonists in their ultimate transformations, while the back cover reveals their greatest enemy. However, what is truly remarkable is found inside the book, where a greater visual depth can be appreciated in the carefully retouched illustrations. Toyotaro has enhanced effects such as transformations, hairstyles, and more, giving a fresh take on iconic moments, like the battle of Gohan Beast against Goku Ultra Instinct.

Although volume 24 is already available in physical format, the chapters are accessible for free on Shueisha’s MangaPlus platform. Despite Toriyama’s farewell, it has been confirmed that Toyotaro will continue to lead the series. However, fans are still wondering when serialization will resume, while they await news about the future direction of Dragon Ball Super, especially in light of Freezer’s presence in the story.

In Spain, the release date for volume 24 has not yet been confirmed, and PlanetaComic has at least two volumes pending. Volume 22 will be released in May, just in time to coincide with Goku Day, while the series continues its publication in both Spanish and Catalan. As the end of this era approaches, fans are preparing for the transition to new chapters that promise to be just as exciting.

The mystery is over: we now know how long Dragon Ball Daima will last

The series Dragon Ball Daima continues to generate great excitement among fans, as Goku and his group continue their quest for the Dragon Balls to regain their adult bodies. After weeks of exploring the Demon Realm, the story seems to be nearing its conclusion, and interest has grown with recent plot twists, such as Vegeta’s new transformation. Since the series was announced, there has been a wave of rumors about its length. Initially, it was speculated that Dragon Ball Daima would have between 12 and 25 episodes.

The Dragon Ball Daima series continues to generate great excitement among fans, as Goku and his group continue their quest for the Dragon Balls to regain their adult bodies. After weeks of exploring the Demon Realm, the story seems to be nearing its conclusion, and interest has grown with recent plot twists, such as Vegeta’s new transformation.

Since the series was announced, there has been a wave of rumors about its length. Initially, it was speculated that Dragon Ball Daima would have between 12 and 25 episodes. However, recent leaks, apparently originating from Hulu, have confirmed that the series will consist of a total of 20 episodes, putting an end to the uncertainty surrounding its length. Hulu, however, was involved in a minor stir by incorrectly detailing the release date of the final episode, which is scheduled for February 28.

This outcome seems to be aligned with the expectations of the followers, given that Dragon Ball Daima is set in a limited chronological period between the Z and Super series, which restricts its possibilities for extension. As reports from Anime Hunch indicate, the series is expected to conclude satisfactorily, considering the current narrative and its focus on the characters, especially given the return of beloved protagonists and how they intertwine with their past adventures.

All of this should be taken with a grain of salt

Despite Hulu’s confirmation, it is wise to remember that there has not yet been an official announcement from Toei Animation or the broadcasting platforms, so the information should be taken with caution. However, as Dragon Ball Daima progresses, it becomes clear that an exciting conclusion is on the horizon for fans of this iconic franchise.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has a new trailer introducing 24 new characters… more or less

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has a new trailer introducing 24 new characters… more or less, because in reality, they are 24 forms of the same 2.

For many people, one of the big news of 2023 was the announcement of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Being this the Japanese name of the well-known fighting video game franchise Dragon Ball: Budokai Tenkaichi, it is clear what we can expect from this new installment: a lot of different characters, an obscene amount of arenas, and a great fidelity in character designs. Maybe not the deepest combat system, but that’s what Dragon Ball FighterZ is for.

During the past Dragon Ball Games Battle Hours they presented us with the first characters from Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. With the staggering number of 24 characters, they wanted to start off with a bang, offering us the widest possible glimpse. With a trick. Out of those 24, actually, all of them can be divided into two.

As shown in its spectacular trailer, the 24 characters are summarized in 11 versions of Goku and 13 versions of Vegeta. Something that is accompanied by the aforementioned trailer, which serves to show the different versions of each of them, but also a very dynamic and visually striking confrontation between these deadly enemies, eternal friends, and inseparable companions. Something that alleviates, a little, the fact that they have decided to start by showing 24 characters, when in reality there are only two.

The complete list of confirmed characters so far is as follows:

  •     Son Goku (Z – Start)
  •     Son Goku (Z – Intermediate)
  •     Son Goku (Z – Intermediate), Super Saiyan
  •     Son Goku (Z – Final)
  •     Son Goku (Z – Final), Super Saiyan
  •     Son Goku (Z – Final), Super Saiyan 2
  •     Son Goku (Z – Final), Super Saiyan 3
  •     Son Goku (Super)
  •     Son Goku (Z – Intermediate), Super Saiyan
  •     Son Goku (Super), Super Saiyan God
  •     Son Goku (Super), Super Saiyan Blue
  •     Vegeta (Z – Tracker)
  •     Great Ape Vegeta
  •     Vegeta (Z – Start)
  •     Vegeta (Z – Start), Super Saiyan
  •     Super Vegeta
  •     Vegeta (Z – Final)
  •     Vegeta (Z – Final), Super Saiyan
  •     Vegeta (Z – Final), Super Saiyan 2
  •     Majin Vegeta
  •     Vegeta (Super)
  •     Vegeta (Super), Super Saiyan
  •     Vegeta (Super), Super Saiyan God
  •     Vegeta (Super), Super Saiyan Blue

However, that’s not the only thing we’ve seen. Along with the trailer, they have shown an image that suggests that the complete roster would have over 120 characters. Less than in the last Budokai Tenkaichi, but still an immense roster. We will be able to enjoy it when it is released soon on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
