Dragon Ball Super has been on a long break, with only one new chapter released in February 2025 before going back into hiatus. This has left fans wondering when the next arc will begin. In the meantime, the franchise has remained active with other projects, including Dragon Ball Daima, which aired from October 2024 to February 2025.
With Volume 24 set to release soon, fans are excited to revisit the Super Hero arc. However, what surprised many was a subtle change in one of the volume’s illustrations. Mr. Popo appears without his turban, revealing a pair of horns—just as he was shown in Daima. This has led to speculation about whether Toyotaro is acknowledging Daima or hinting at future connections between the two series.
The Super Hero Arc Comes to a Close
Volume 24 marks the conclusion of the Super Hero arc, adapting the events of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie. The story primarily focuses on Gohan and Piccolo, who take center stage as they battle against the Red Ribbon Army’s newest creation, Cell Max. This arc also introduces powerful new transformations for both warriors.]=

Gohan reaches his Beast form, unlocking a level of strength that puts him among the strongest fighters in the franchise. Meanwhile, Piccolo achieves his Orange form, finally giving him a power boost that allows him to stand on par with the top warriors. While Goku, Vegeta, and Broly continue their training on Beerus’ planet, the battle on Earth showcases how far Gohan and Piccolo have come.
Release Date and Where to Read
Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 is scheduled for release in Japan on April 4, 2025. The volume includes chapters 101 to 104, bringing the current arc to an end. Fans eagerly awaiting the English release will have to wait a few more months, as VIZ Media has yet to announce an official release date.

With the current arc finished, all eyes are now on what comes next for the series.
