Dragon Ball Super is Not Returning In 2025

News Confirmed By Victory Uchida

Dragon Ball is one of the most influential manga series in the world. Originally created by Akira Toriyama, this series has grown exponentially since and has been the source of inspiration for many major works after it, a few examples being One Piece and Naruto.

Dragon Ball has multiple manga and anime series, and its current ongoing manga is titled Dragon Ball Super. Sadly, this manga has been on hiatus for quite some time now. Dragon Ball Super went on break on March 21, 2024. This was due to the death of Akira Toriyama, who passed away just a few weeks earlier.

Since then, Dragon Ball fans have been hoping for the manga to return, but so far, fans haven't gotten any positive indication of that. Fans were hoping that 2025 would be the year it returns, but it was just confirmed that fans won't be seeing it grace their screens this year.

Victory Uchida, the editor of V-Jump, has recently revealed that fans shouldn’t expect the manga to return in 2025. This has left many Dragon Ball fans upset, and for valid reasons. This is especially the case as Uchida asked fans to remain patient.

When Will Dragon Ball Super Manga Return

No Return Date Confirmed Yet

While Dragon Ball Super is not returning in 2025, it doesn’t mean fans should lose hope. One thing that can be said with confidence is that the series will eventually return someday, just not this year.

There is no confirmed year or release date for the return of Dragon Ball Super, but with 2025 being out of the picture, the next best scenario for this manga would be for it to return sometime around 2026. The manga has a lot of potential, and the story will continue on.
