Get ready for an epic comeback! Dragon Ball Super is back with a bang, and it's bringing an exciting new adventure to life!
After an 8-year hiatus, the beloved anime franchise has officially announced its return with a brand-new series, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol. This sequel is set to continue the story after the thrilling Tournament of Power, and it promises to be the pinnacle of the franchise's 40th anniversary celebration.
The announcement was made at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event in Japan, where fans were treated to some major news. Along with the anime, a brand-new game titled AGE1000 was unveiled, adding to the excitement.
On stage, we had the iconic Masako Nozawa, the voice of Son Goku himself, and Akio Iyoku, the Executive Producer of the Dragon Ball series. They revealed that the new anime will pick up where the Universe Survival Arc left off in Dragon Ball Super, and it will also adapt the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc from the manga. Get ready to see Son Goku and Vegeta team up with the Galactic Patrol, the galaxy's peacekeepers, to battle a new, formidable enemy known as Planet-Eater Moro!
But here's where it gets controversial... Akira Toriyama, the legendary creator of Dragon Ball, is credited as the Original Work, Story, and Character Design for the anime. With his passing in 2024, some fans might wonder how this new project will honor his vision.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary, a special video was released worldwide, showcasing Akira Toriyama's illustrations brought to life with modern animation techniques. The video, directed by Naoki Miyahara, traces Son Goku's journey across the Dragon Ball series, and the music for this special project was composed by none other than Hans Zimmer! The theme, titled "Infinite Future," was arranged by Tom Lucas, and Zimmer himself shared a heartfelt message celebrating Dragon Ball's legacy.
A teaser visual was also revealed, showing Goku and Vegeta in Galactic Patrol uniforms, ready for battle. You can check it out below and get a glimpse of what's to come.
Dragon Ball has a rich history, starting as a manga in 1984 and later adapting into various anime series. Dragon Ball Super, the latest installment, ran from 2015 to 2018 and left fans eager for more. With the recent movie, Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO, having a successful opening weekend, the franchise's popularity remains strong.
And this is the part most people miss... Dragon Ball also has other exciting projects in the works, like the Dragon Ball Theme Park in Saudi Arabia, which is set to be a massive 500,000 square meters!
