Dragon Ball could have some major plans for the future as it’s now celebrating the 40th anniversary. It’s kicking things off later this month with a special event where they have teased new announcements are coming about the future of the franchise, and it’s where fans are hoping to see some forward momentum on the anime. Dragon Ball’s anime and manga releases are currently on hiatus following Toriyama’s death, but this year could be the year they move forward.
Dragon Ball Super could see the manga returning for new stories after being put on hiatus, there could be a new Dragon Ball anime series or feature film in the works, or even something more extreme that fans were never expecting to see. Either way, this is shaping up to be a big year for Dragon Ball fans as there might just be some big stuff and surprises coming our way soon outside of this new U.S. tour.
