Dragon Ball Super has been shrouded in uncertainty for over a year. Mixed signals have left fans speculating about the future of the series, as some indications suggest a possible return, while others hint that the manga may be concluded, despite earlier commitments to continue. Recently, a new hint has emerged that adds to the “Dragon Ball Super Returns”speculation, and it presents an unexpectedly strong case.
The manga was placed on hiatus following the tragic passing of Akira Toriyama. Since then, the direction of Dragon Ball Super has remained in limbo. It is apparent that Shueisha is keen on continuing the franchise, yet they seem to be navigating the complexities of what the series should evolve into in this new era post-Toriyama. As the talented Toyotaro steps in to handle both the writing and artistic responsibilities, fans were recently treated to a one-shot chapter released in February. While this new piece was well-received, it served as a prequel to the movie Super Hero rather than advancing the overarching narrative, leaving the future trajectory of the series uncertain.
Exciting Indicators of Dragon Ball Super’s Return
Volume 24 Artwork Signals Continuation of the Series
Scheduled for release on April 4, 2025, Volume 24 of Dragon Ball Super is generating buzz, with several fans already gaining access to early copies. Notably, an X (formerly Twitter) user, @DBSHype, has confirmed that the volume continues the long-term spine artwork tradition. This artistic approach involves creating a cohesive image across multiple volumes of the series, suggesting that Shueisha has plans for more installments beyond the current 24. The continuation of this spine art strongly implies that the Dragon Ball Super manga will see additional volumes as the saga progresses.
