The last episode of the Dragon Ball Super TV series premiered on March 25, 2018. Despite the almost six-year wait, there is still an expectation that the series will resume in the future!

The Dragon Ball Super manga continues to release new chapters month after month, long after the anime's 131-episode run.

With plenty of material to work with, fans are wondering when, not if, Toei Animation will produce new episodes for the popular anime series.

So far, Toei hasn't formally announced the return of the Dragon Ball Super anime, but it's regularly suggested that the series will return by Dragon Ball insiders.

Famously, in 2021, the official website of Dragon Ball featured Toei animator Florence Jay Dominguito, who's been working with Toei Animation Philippines since 2011 and has been involved in various Dragon Ball projects.

At one point in the interview, the animator was asked about his hopes and expectations for the future of the Dragon Ball franchise and responded:

"As a fan, I'm really looking forward to new movies and merchandise. I'm also excited about the new anime that will continue Dragon Ball Super."

Based on this machine-translated statement, many fans thought that Dominguito may have indirectly confirmed Dragon Ball Super Season 2.

However, according to Japanese translator Ken Xyro, here's what the animator actually said: "I'm also excited to see if there will be a new continuation of Dragon Ball Super TV anime."

Toei Animation released Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero in 2022, but the animation company didn't confirm if new episodes of the anime series would be released following the movie.

The arc following the Universal Survival Saga is the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, which takes the Z-fighters to space and back to Earth, and introduces the villainous goat-looking wizard named Moro, a character designed by the current Dragon Ball Super artist Toyotarou.

A few years before the end of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, and around the destruction of Kid Buu by Goku, the Grand Supreme Kai's seal on Moro's magic broke, allowing him to beak out of the Galactic Patrol's prison.

The new episodes of Dragon Ball Super will most likely follow this saga, which concluded in the manga in 2020.

There are also a bunch of other prisoners who escaped from the Galactic Patrol's prison, and the new episodes will most likely feature them fighting the Z-fighters on planet Earth.

After the conclusion of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, the Dragon Ball Super manga continued with the Granolah the Survivor Saga, which introduced Granolah, the sole survivor of the Cerealian race that was annihilated by the Saiyan army.

Granolah the Survivor Saga concluded in Chapter 87 (released in August 2022). The final chapter of the Granolah the Survivor Saga also featured the return of Frieza and the debut of his powerful Black Frieza transformation.
