Dragon Ball Super

Dragon Ball Super (Japanese: ドラゴンボール超（スーパー）, 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 ten-year timeskip after the defeat of Majin Boo. After meeting the destructive deity Beerus, and attaining the power of a god, Goku ends up traveling to other universes. It began serialization in Shueisha's monthly shōnen manga magazine V Jump in June 2015, and is currently on hiatus following Toriyama's death in March 2024. Viz Media has licensed the series for release in North America. Toriyama wrote the major plot points, while Toyotarou drew the manga and filled in details himself. Toriyama's plot was also adapted into an anime television series produced by Toei Animation, which aired on Fuji TV in Japan from July 2015 to March 2018. Two animated films have also been released under the Dragon Ball Super brand: Broly (2018) and Super Hero (2022), and were themselves tied into the manga. A sequel to the anime, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which adapts the manga's "Galactic Patrol Prisoner" story arc, has been announced. As of April 2025, the manga had over 12 million copies in circulation.
