The Dragon Ball Super anime will return with The Galactic Patrol
A new anime confirms production at Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri.
Fans of Dragon Ball can celebrate since Shenron has granted their desire. No, you won’t be able to become a Super Saiyan, but there will be a new Dragon Ball Super anime.
The sequel series, which was announced during the Genkidamatsuri event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Dragon Ball anime, will resume with Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol.
During the ceremony, Akio Iyoku, president of Capsule Corporation Tokyo and executive producer of the Dragon Ball series, announced that production on Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol has begun.
There was no release date announced. Given the nature of this weekend’s announcement, it does not appear that Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol will be released anytime soon.
While information about the Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime was limited, Iyoku did offer a graphic for the series, which included Goku and Vegeta.
It began as a set of films, Battle of the Gods and Resurrection of F, which grew into a full franchise that included an anime and manga written and drawn by Toyotaro, with supervision from Akira Toriyama himself.
The anime ended abruptly in 2018, but the manga continued, bringing new and intriguing story arcs until the death of Akira Toriyama in 2024.
The future of Super remained uncertain, particularly following the debut of Dragon Ball Daima, a new anime series set between the end of the original and the beginning of Dragon Ball Super.
The continuation of Goku and his friends’ adventures brings relief to fans of one of the world’s most popular franchises.
Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol will adapt the plot that follows the Universe Survival arc of the Dragon Ball Super anime.
Son Goku and Vegeta team up with members of the Galactic Patrol, the galaxy’s peacekeepers, to face a new monster, Planet-Eater Moro.
It’s a relief to see the franchise continue following Toriyama’s demise. Dragon Ball has become more of a lifelong buddy than a cultural phenomenon, which will hopefully continue.
