The author of the Dragon Ball saga has dropped an important clue about the end of Dragon Ball Super.
Akira Toriyama is one of the most important creators in the world of entertainment. His main work, Dragon Ball, is one of the best known worldwide, both for anime and manga lovers and for people outside this world. This iconic saga has accompanied entire generations throughout their lives.
The last great series of the franchise is Dragon Ball Super, which began as a manga, and is still in publication, and of which shortly after its beginning, an anime adaptation was released. The anime ended several years ago, although it seems that its return to adapt the most recent story arcs is imminent.
On this occasion, we come to talk about its end and maybe the Dragon Ball saga in its entirety. This supposed ending of Dragon Ball Super has been hinted at by Toriyama himself recently. Next, we reveal exactly what the author has said about the end of Dragon Ball Super, and we analyze its possible consequences.
Akira Toriyama’s hint about the near end of Dragon Ball Super
The text that we are going to comment on and deepen below has been written by the creator of the series himself. This paragraph is found within the manga adaptation of the recent movie ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’, a type of work called “animangas”.
The movies so far have been major parts of the 10 years between the Majin Buu arc of the original manga and the final chapter of it. ‘Super Hero’ is a store located just before the final chapter. I thank the excellent director and the rest of the film’s staff. It was very well received, as the best yet by many who have seen it. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of it too! …if I have to throw flowers at myself. With animanga, you can easily enjoy such a wonderful and consistent quality while also discovering many new things. Please pay attention to every little detail.
What the author focuses on most in this message is to thank everyone involved in the film and its viewers. Also, he encourages you to read this manga adaptation of the film. However, what interests us is the hint that it gives at the beginning about the possible end of Dragon Ball Super.
As Toriyama rightly says, all the story arcs that have taken place so far in the Dragon Ball Super series and the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie have taken place, chronologically speaking, between the 10 years since the end of the Majin Buu arc and the final chapter of the original ‘Dragon Ball’ series, which in the anime is the end of ‘Dragon Ball Z’.
However, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero seems to have been the exception, being located very close to that end, which is the last we’ve seen of Dragon Ball so far. This would mean that, after the prequel arc of this movie that was already confirmed a while ago, in which Goten and Trunks will be the protagonists, we could see at most a story arc or two more before reaching the moment in which the end of Dragon Ball Super or the entire saga.
After this, although the series could perfectly end, it is most likely that they will give it some time, and other characters and other precious moments of the series will be explored. Although, after a few years off, a new manga and/or anime series would probably start, or a movie would be released, exploring beyond that border.
