Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has already been released in theateres in Japan, with the movie slated to hit U.S. theaters and other regions this August. Spoilers about the story that features Gohan and Piccolo fighting against the newly-revived Red Ribbon Army have leaked online, and now, a major update from one of the shonen franchise's heads, Akio Iyoku, has confirmed that Toei Animation's next animated project for Dragon Ball Super is already in the works.
At the time of this writing, Toei hasn't announced any plans to revive the Dragon Ball Super televesion series, but a recent tease fuels speculation about its return. Fans are hoping that the studio will adapt the manga's Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc (Moro Arc) and Granolah the Survivor Arc.
In the latest issue of V Jump (via DBHype), Iyoku confirms that they're already working on a new Dragon Ball Super anime project:
"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a movie that was made not only for the Japanese audience but with the whole world in mind. Dragon Ball is a series that Japan is very proud of, so we felt a sense of responsibility while working on the movie. We're indeed releasing it in America this summer as well! What? "What comes next"? Well, if you're asking, a new entry on the series is already in the making! Super Hero took us five years to make, so it's only natural we're already working on what comes next! Toriyama-sensei himself is always working on new Dragon Ball concepts and ideas, after all. We're all thinking about what we want to show the world next."
As you can see, no details have been revealed about what this new project will be, but that won't stop fans from speculating.
