Excitement is in the air for fans of the Dragon Ball franchise. The beloved series is making a return with a brand new installment titled Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol. This news was unveiled at the Genkidamatsuri event, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Dragon Ball anime.
Details on the New Series
The announcement was made by Akio Iyoku, the President of Capsule Corporation Tokyo and Executive Producer of the Dragon Ball series. Although production is already underway, no official release date has been provided, leaving fans anticipating a future premiere.
Visuals for the Series
During the announcement, Iyoku also shared a visual featuring iconic characters Goku and Vegeta, although further details about the plot remain limited. This sequel will continue the journey following the events of the Universe Survival arc.
Plot Overview
In Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, Goku and Vegeta will collaborate with the Galactic Patrol, known as the peacekeepers of the galaxy. Their mission involves confronting a new formidable foe: Planet-Eater Moro.
A Franchise Legacy
Dragon Ball Super serves as a continuation of Dragon Ball Z. It began with the movies Battle of the Gods and Resurrection of F, before evolving into a full-fledged franchise that includes an anime series and a manga illustrated by Toyotaro under the guidance of Akira Toriyama.
Although the anime concluded in 2018, the manga has persisted, showcasing new story arcs until the unfortunate passing of Toriyama in 2024. Following this loss, the future of the Dragon Ball franchise appeared uncertain, particularly after the recent launch of Dragon Ball Daima, a new anime set between the original series and Dragon Ball Super.
Celebrating a Cultural Phenomenon
The announcement of Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is indeed a relief for countless fans worldwide. Many grew up with the series, making it a cherished part of their lives. This continuation ensures that the adventures of Goku and his friends will endure, preserving the legacy of a beloved cultural icon.
