The beloved anime series Dragon Ball is set to make a triumphant return, as announced at the ongoing Dragon Ball Genki Dama Festival. Following its latest installment, Dragon Ball Daima, which took the franchise into the Demon Realm, fans can now look forward to the next chapter in the saga.
During the first part of the festival, voice actor Masako Nozawa and producer Akio Iyoku revealed exciting details about the upcoming series. The highly anticipated new season of Dragon Ball Super will adapt the Moro Arc, also known as the Galactic Patrol Arc. This arc marks the return of iconic characters Goku and Vegeta as they face a formidable energy-absorbing wizard, following the events of the Tournament of Power Arc.
Production for this new chapter has already commenced, although a specific release date remains undisclosed. Producer Akio Iyoku expressed enthusiasm about creating an anime adaptation of this storyline, stating, “We have decided to create an anime adaptation for this story from the comics.” Masako Nozawa, who voices Goku, also shared her excitement about reprising her role in the beloved franchise.
Fans of the Z-Fighters are undoubtedly thrilled at the prospect of the series returning to screens, particularly with so much anticipation surrounding the Galactic Patrol storyline.
Where the Saga Left Off
The last major installment in the franchise was the film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, which showcased transformations for characters like Piccolo and Gohan. It featured a fresh take on the Red Ribbon Army and introduced a new threat in the form of Cell Max. Following the film, the manga continued to explore the aftermath of Cell Max’s defeat, including battles involving Goku, Vegeta, and Broly.
The previous anime series concluded in 2018, yet the franchise has remained vibrant with two feature-length films since then. The Moro Arc is particularly notable for being one of the longest arcs in the Dragon Ball Super manga, involving all members of the Z-Fighters facing a significant threat.
While fans should not expect many new transformations for the principal characters right away, the storyline promises to deliver unexpected twists and turns. With the excitement surrounding the return of Dragon Ball Super, anticipation builds for what lies ahead.
As discussions ignite in the community, fans are encouraged to share their thoughts in the ComicBook Forum, expressing what they hope to see in this revitalized series. The return of Dragon Ball not only signifies the continuation of a beloved franchise but also the ongoing passion of its global fanbase.
