Fans of “Dragon Ball Super” Have Reasons to Celebrate: The Future of the Series is Bright with the Upcoming Release of Special Chapter 104 in February and the Anticipated Debut of Volume 24.
The new volume is set to be released in Japan starting April 4, 2025. This volume, created by renowned manga artist Akira Toriyama and illustrated by Toyotarou, promises to continue delivering exciting narratives for fans around the world.
Currently, social media is buzzing with promotional images for the highly anticipated Volume 24. One standout image features Black Frieza in the background, ominously suggesting that Goku and his friends will face a formidable challenge, as reflected in the cover art.
However, the most intriguing aspect is the illustration on the book cover, which hints at a prolonged storyline and suggests that more volumes will be published. This indicates that the new chapters of Dragon Ball Super will soon be unveiled, showcasing the complete creativity of Toyotarou.
The uncertainty surrounding “Dragon Ball Super” arises following the unexpected passing of creator Akira Toriyama in March 2024. The final animated project from the legendary creator is titled “Dragon Ball Daima,” which will air 20 episodes from October 2024 to February 2025, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the franchise, although its specific goals remain unconfirmed.
Meanwhile, the “Dragon Ball Super” manga has been on hiatus for nearly a year following the release of the film “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” in 2022, with Chapter 103 being the last work written by Toriyama. The closing of this animated storyline serves as a symbolic transfer of creative duties to Toyotarou, who has been handpicked for this role.
February 20, 2025, marks the return of the manga with Special Chapter 104, exploring how Trunks and Goten become superheroes. While some fans eagerly await details regarding the anime’s beloved characters, others see this as a general introduction, primarily serving as a precursor to the 2022 film. Nonetheless, the manga will offer a unique perspective on the ongoing narrative under Toyotarou’s guidance.
Volume 24, featuring Goku in his Ultra Instinct form, Vegeta in Ultra Ego, Gohan in his Beast form, Piccolo in his Orange form, and the legendary Super Saiyan Broly, has garnered a variety of reactions. Some fans are surprised by the artistic direction and detail concerning the Z Fighters, a style distinctly different from Toriyama’s traditional approach. Others appreciate the distinctiveness that Toyotarou has brought to the series. With this release, fans of “Dragon Ball Super” are eagerly anticipating the developments that will unfold in the new chapter crafted under Toriyama’s creative legacy.
