A remake anime titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has been confirmed for release in Fall 2026 and will retell the story of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. Additionally, the continuation of the Dragon Ball Super anime, The Galactic Patrol, was also announced, which will adapt the next arc after the Tournament of Power. The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga is around 26 chapters long, which suggests that the anime will follow a weekly schedule. However, while the latest anime announcements are already exciting, the event didnโ€™t share any information about the mangaโ€™s return.

Following Toriyama’s death in March 2024, the manga returned with a surprise chapter in February 2025 before resuming its indefinite hiatus. While itโ€™s believed that Toyotaro will be working on both the story and the art, there havenโ€™t been any updates regarding when the manga will resume serialization. After the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, the anime still has three more arcs left to adapt, but the manga may not see the story continue for a while.

The main story takes place a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Z (but before that seriesโ€™ time-skip epilogue), introducing greater cosmic threats just when peace was achieved on Earth. Super has come a long way over the years, and fans canโ€™t wait to see Goku and the Z Fightersโ€™ journey continue with a new adventure. The latest Super Hero Saga expands on the story of the 2022 film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, following Piccolo and Gohan.

Those who carry the spirit of the Red Ribbon Army, which was once destroyed by Goku, have created two ultimate Androids named Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, threatening the planet yet again. While the mangaโ€™s future looks bleak right now, Toyotaro has declared his willingness to continue the story, stating that while it may be difficult to step into Toriyamaโ€™s shoes, itโ€™s not impossible. All episodes of Dragon Ball Super are currently streaming on Crunchyroll, and now is the perfect time to catch up before the anime returns with another adventure.
