Dragon Ball Super (Japanese: ドラゴンボール超, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Sūpā) is a Japanese manga series written by Akira Toriyama and illustrated by Toyotarou. Set during the time frame of Toriyama's original Dragon Ball manga, it follows the adventures of Son Goku and his friends during the 10-year timeskip between the defeat of the evil Majin Buu and the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z.[4][5] It began serialization in Shueisha's monthly shōnen manga magazine V Jump in June 2015. The manga is simulpublished in English by Viz Media and by Shueisha on their Manga Plus platform.
An anime television series produced by Toei Animation aired in Japan from July 2015 to March 2018.[6] The first two arcs of the anime readapted the events of the films Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods (2013) and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (2015), the latter which was only summarized in the manga. A sequel film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, was released in December 2018 and became the highest-grossing anime film of the franchise; like Resurrection 'F', it was included in the manga as a quick summarization. A second film, Super Hero, was released on June 11, 2022, and was later adapted into the manga. The anime series concluded at the end of the Universe Survival saga, while the manga went into hiatus with the conclusion of the Super Hero saga following Toriyama's death in March 2024. A one-shot chapter, which had been written by Toriyama and serves as a prequel to Super Hero, was released in February 2025 and included in volume 24, released in April 2025.[7]
