Culture news Bad news… The Dragon Ball Super manga will soon be put on hiatus, but for how long?
The user @DbsHype on X, shared a visual of V-Jump (monthly version of Weekly Shonen Jump) announcing a break for Dragon Ball Super, effective from next month. However, no additional details were communicated.
In an artistic blur
No information regarding the duration of the break has been filtered. This break could well be linked to the death of Akira Toriyama, who was screenwriter and supervisor of Toyotarô on Dragon Ball Super, in addition to taking care of the character designs. In addition to that, and according to leakers, the next chapter could put an end to the “Super Heroes” arc, shaping up to be the climax of this part.
This break would then allow reorganize the teams in charge of the manga, undoubtedly disoriented since the death of the master, in addition to allowing them to best prepare the arcs to come. During this hiatus of indefinite duration,fans of the license can still plan ahead until the fallannounced release date of Dragon Ball Daimawhich will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the license.
Toriyama’s legacy
This pause, however, is nothing to worry about. In fact, the series Dragon Ball Super made a habit of taking a month off before the start of a new arc. In addition, although the death of the master disrupted the various projects around Dragon Ball, the editor-in-chief of V-Jump and president of Capsule Corporation Tokyo, Akio Iyoku, is committed to 10 years of new games, anime, movies and more for the franchise.
Additionally, other Toriyama projects have yet to be released, such as the anime adaptation of Sand Land, which is due to arrive on Disney+ in the coming days. Regarding the projects on which the master has worked, we are still waiting for news regarding Dragon Quest 12, on which he served as character designer, but also the Dragon Quest 3 remake.
