The fate of Dragon Ball Super has been a major talking point among fans since Akira Toriyama’s passing in 2024. However, a new message from series artist Toyotarou has sparked hope for its return. In the postscript of Dragon Ball Super Volume 24, Toyotarou urges fans to “Look forward to future developments!” Though vague, this suggests the manga has not reached its conclusion.
With the anime’s future uncertain, the manga appears to be the primary hope for continuing the story. Fans are eager to see how Toyotarou handles unresolved elements, such as Black Frieza’s rise in power and Vegeta’s Ultra Ego transformation. The recent volume also highlights Frieza on its back cover, reinforcing his significance in future storylines.
Unresolved Storylines That Could Shape the Future
The Dragon Ball Super manga has left several key storylines unfinished, making its continuation all the more necessary. The Granolah arc concluded with the shocking debut of Black Frieza, who effortlessly defeated Goku and Vegeta in their most powerful forms. This leaves room for a major rematch and a deeper exploration of Frieza’s newfound strength.

Additionally, Vegeta’s Ultra Ego form has yet to reach its full potential, and Broly’s inclusion in the main cast raises questions about his role moving forward. Another unresolved storyline is Goku’s ongoing rivalry with Beerus, which could lead to a long-anticipated final battle between the two.
How Dragon Ball Daima Could Influence Super’s Future
Another interesting factor is the introduction of Dragon Ball Daima, a new series that takes place before Dragon Ball Super. While Daima is not officially tied to the manga’s timeline, its impact on the franchise could influence Super’s eventual return. Some fans speculate that Toyotarou might integrate elements from Daima, potentially connecting it to Super in a meaningful way.
Despite no official confirmation, Toyotarou’s enthusiasm and ongoing involvement with the series suggest Dragon Ball Super is far from over. His message in Volume 24 offers fans a reason to remain hopeful as they await further updates on the manga’s return.
