After an eight-year hiatus, Toei Animation has announced the return of the popular anime series Dragon Ball Super.

The original Dragon Ball Super series ran for 131 episodes between 2015 and 2018. It continued the story of Dragon Ball Z following the defeat of Majin Buu, with Goku and the rest of the Z Fighters facing a number of powerful villains and opponents.

Among the major threats was Zamasu, while Frieza also made a dramatic return with a new form.

The final saga of the anime introduced the Tournament of Power, where fighters from different universes battled for survival.

Goku unlocked a new transformation, Ultra Instinct, during the tournament and faced Universe 11’s strongest warrior, Jiren, in one of the series’ biggest battles.

Earlier this year, Toei announced Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which is scheduled for release in 2027. The series will adapt the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc from the manga, featuring the powerful villain Moro.

Following the conclusion of the Super anime, two feature films were released. Dragon Ball Super: Broly takes place after the Tournament of Power and introduces the legendary Saiyan Broly into the main storyline.

The second film, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, is set several years later and focuses on characters including Gohan, Piccolo and the Red Ribbon Army.

While details surrounding the returning series remain limited, Toei has also announced Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, a remastered version of the Battle of Gods storyline. The Resurrection and Universal arcs will also be remastered according to Toei.

Fans will now be eagerly awaiting more information about what the new Super series will bring following its lengthy absence.

Dragon Ball Super returns in 2027

Dragon Ball series has been ongoing for the past 42 years since the very first mange chapter back in 1984 which was written by Akira Toriyama. The manga was adapted to animation which reached peak in the 90s and 2000s, especially the Dragon Ball Z series.
