Dragon Ball Superbroke the long streak of nearly 20 years without a new manga or anime series in the belovedDragon Ballfranchise. Its supervision from the late Akira Toriyama ensured it has the level of quality fans came to expect from the series, with excellent arcs like the Tournament of Power. But with its fate up in the air, will we ever see aDragon Ball SuperSeason 2?
WillDragon Ball SuperSeason 2 ever happen?
The short answer is an unfortunate one, but we simply don’t know if we will ever seeDragon Ball SuperSeason 2 happen. A second season of the show was never confirmed or formally announced by Toei Animation in the first place. To make matters worse, the manga is currently on an indefinite hiatus after the release of Chapter 103.
This is all because of thetragicand sudden passingof legendaryDragon Ballcreator Akira Toriyama. This changed everything for the series, including putting the manga on a full stop for now following the conclusion of theSuper Heroarc. Because of this tragic event, the future ofDragon Ball Superall around feels uncertain.
Dragon Ball Daimais the best bet for fans
WhileDragon Ball Superis up in the air at this time, not all hope is lost for fans. After all, at the time of writing, it appears thatDragon Ball Daimais still in the pipeline to be released this year in 2024. The upcoming brand new anime series will release sometime in the fall anime season and it will feature Goku and the rest of the Z Warriors returned to children form after a curse is put on them.
We don’t know too much about this series, but Akira Toriyama contributed to it before his passing. It will seemingly take place in the four-year gap between the end of the Majin Buu Saga inDragon Ball Zand the start ofSuper. While not a sequel toSuperlike some may want, it will at least provide a nice bit of content in the popular universe.
Dragon Ball Superstill has content to cover
While theDragonBall Supermanga’s fate remains up in the air, there is a chance we could still see some anime content in the future. After all, the manga has two entire story arcs that were never adapted into anime form. The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga takes place after the Tournament of Power and matches the length of it in the manga on its own, with 15 total chapters.
In addition, this arc was followed up by the exceptional Granolah the Survivor Saga, which is the longest arc in the manga series to date with 20 chapters. Both of these could work for a Season 2, but if Toei Animation doesn’t want to do that, they could even work as a couple of standalone movies similar to what happened withSuper Hero. That could at least satisfy fans while the future ofDragon Ballis determined.
