Dragon Ball fans all over the world are ecstatic over the latest news concerning the return of the anime. For too long, Dragon Ball was on a hiatus, and its absence was deeply felt in anime communities worldwide. Dragon Ball is an iconic series that has continued strong for four decades, and that certainly isn't going to change anytime soon. If there is one immortalized shonen anime series, it is Dragon Ball, and the fact that it still has quite a lot of content to adapt into an anime means that this series will continue for the foreseeable future.
The Best Anime Tournament Arcs, Ranked
Several prominent anime series have witnessed great tournament arcs. These examples are some of the best in the genre.
Unfortunately, Dragon Ball had quite a few hiccups over the course of the last 8 years, but now, things seem like they're finally on track. Dragon Ball Super is going to get its own anime remaster later this year, but what fans are more interested in knowing is the release date of the Galactic Patrol Arc, which marks the beginning of new content for the series. There is a ton of new information available, and undoubtedly, things are about to get incredibly exciting for fans.
Dragon Ball Super Remake Will Begin Later This Year
- Dragon Ball Super: Beerus begins in Fall 2026
- New anime remaster by Toei Animation modernizes Dragon Ball Super
Before fans get to Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol arc, the anime series will first revisit the beginning of the Super series and remaster the arcs that the old Dragon Ball Super anime already covered. This means that when Dragon Ball Super returns officially later in 2026, the first arc that fans will get to see is the Battle of Gods arc. To an extent, it can be said that this arc has been overdone in Dragon Ball Super, having already received quite a few adaptations. The fact is that this new anime for Dragon Ball Super is planning to give a new direction to the whole franchise. As such, it is essential for Dragon Ball Super to start from the very beginning and, this time, do things right.
It is reported that the Battle of Gods arc of Dragon Ball Super will span over 6 episodes, followed by the Frieza arc, which will also span over 6 episodes. It was stated that, internally, this new Dragon Ball Super remake project was originally called Dragon Ball Super: Kai. Essentially, it is just a remastered version of Dragon Ball Super. There will be minimal new content, to be precise, and most of it will be redone with new art direction, corrections, and better pacing.
The fact that the Battle of Gods arc is going to be condensed into 6 episodes just goes to show how much better the pacing of the upcoming anime is going to be, and fans absolutely cannot wait for that. Once the Dragon Ball Super anime covers things all the way up to the Tournament of Power arc, that is when fans can finally see the Galactic Patrol arc finally begin, and undoubtedly, that's where things get truly exciting.
Dragon Ball: The Galactic Patrol Arc Rumored For A 2027 Release Date
- The Galactic Patrol Arc will introduce Moro to fans
- New arc set for a reported 2027 release
Dragon Ball: The Galactic Patrol Arc was officially announced alongside the anime remaster. Fans got a key visual from this upcoming arc, but beyond that, not much was revealed, because it doesn't seem that the release date for this particular arc of the story is anywhere close. This move makes sense, because the original anime remaster adaptation has not even begun yet. Given that it has quite a few big arcs to get through, fans can, at the very least, expect the anime to continue for a year before the Galactic Patrol Arc finally begins.
It's Time To Finally Welcome The New Dragon Ball Z Replacement
Dragon Ball Z is a fan favorite anime. This new anime could be a great replacement for it.
According to the reports from insiders, it appears that the Galactic Patrol Arc of Dragon Ball Super is set for a release in 2027 towards the end of the year. This means that Dragon Ball Super will have one year to cover all the other content before it officially starts adapting the new arc from the manga, written by Toyotaro.
Given that the Galactic Patrol Arc will see the adaptation of new content, fans will most definitely see a new Character Designer as well as a new Director being chosen for this arc. Dragon Ball will most likely take a new direction, and fans can only hope that the likes of Naohiro Shintani or Chikashi Kubota are the ones at the helm of this upcoming new project.
Dragon Ball Super Will Continue Beyond The Galactic Patrol Arc
- The Garnolah Arc will also be adapted into the anime in due time
- Dragon Ball Super won't stop anytime soon
The Galactic Patrol arc is going to be one of the most exciting parts of the Dragon Ball anime. Not only does it feature an incredibly powerful mage as a villain, in the form of Moro, but fans know that Goku and Vegeta go on to reach new levels of power in this arc, and things only get more exciting from there onwards. What's even more exciting is that this arc practically confirms to the fans that even bigger things are in store for these two main characters.
Dragon Ball Super's anime is most certainly not going to stop at the Galactic Patrol arc. There are more exciting things on the way, and fans should fully expect an adaptation of the Granolah arc as well. It is also highly likely that Toyotaro's manga will resume eventually, because otherwise, restarting such a project would not make much sense. Once Toyotaro restarts the manga, fans can expect more exciting arcs to come later down the line, and truly, this is the beginning of a new era for the Dragon Ball franchise as a whole. With or without Akira Toriyama, this franchise will continue strong and honor his name.
Its The Beginning Of A New Era For DBS
Dragon Ball Super may not be liked by every fan of the original work by Akira Toriyama. However, the previous anime did not do any favors to the story either. It was far from a perfect adaptation, and it most certainly lacked cohesion and suffered from pacing and animation issues as well.
The new Dragon Ball Remaster project, along with the adaptation of the manga that follows, will breathe new life into the franchise and mark the beginning of a new era for Dragon Ball as a whole. Things like eight-year-long hiatuses will hopefully not happen again in the future. Fans are truly hopeful that this time around, Dragon Ball will stick for years to come and truly help redefine the modern age of shonen anime.
