Summary

  • New Dragon Ball Super volume confirmed for release in Japan on April 4, 2025.
  • Recent chapter hints at potential new arc, sparking speculation among fans.
  • Uncertainty surrounds the return to regular scheduling, with no news on Chapter 105 release date.

A new Dragon Ball Super volume is confirmed to come out this year, and sooner than expected. After almost a year of hiatus, Dragon Ball Super fans are finally getting some good news and can hope that the series will soon return to its regular schedule.

A new chapter was released this week. It was initially announced as a "special one-shot", but it was later confirmed to be the continuation of the story. With this announcement, fans started wondering if it means that Dragon Ball Super will resume its monthly schedule. Alongside the new chapter, it has been revealed that Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 will be released on April 4, 2025, in Japan. It will likely include Chapters 101-104, and it's already available to pre-order in Japanese stores, like Rakuten.

When Is Dragon Ball Super Returning to Its Regular Schedule?

The official Dragon Ball account teased last week that the new chapter would be the beginning of a new arc. However, no new arc was announced in Chapter 104, so it could be a mistranslation. Additionally, there is unfortunately no information regarding when Chapter 105 will be out.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 should soon be available to read on Manga PLUS.

Is The Launch of a New Volume a Good Sign?

When a series goes on a hiatus, publishers might choose not to release the next volume before a return date is set. This way, they can launch the volume close to the return date — this happens, for example, with Hunter x Hunter.

However, if the prospects of resuming regular serialization become complicated, the volume may be released as soon as possible, especially when the scenario becomes too uncertain. It could be that Shueisha scheduled the volume for April 2025 because they are expecting to resume the series soon, but it could be that they decided it would be better to release the volume without having any projection of resuming the series. For now , fans have little choice but to wait for more information.
