Dragon Ball Super: An Exciting Future Unveiled - Don't Miss Out!

When the Dragon Ball panel was initially revealed at the New York Comic-Con, fans eagerly anticipated the announcement of a sequel anime for Dragon Ball Super. Much to their astonishment, however, an entirely new anime titled Dragon Ball Daima was introduced instead. This unexpected turn of events left fans feeling disappointed, as it indicated that the highly anticipated sequel anime would be further delayed.

Nevertheless, fans maintained a glimmer of hope for a sequel anime, speculating that Toei Animation might disclose information about it following the conclusion of Dragon Ball Daima. It was during this period that a fan shared compelling evidence suggesting that Toei Animation had drawn a conclusion to the Dragon Ball Super anime.

Dragon Ball enthusiasts were eagerly anticipating an official announcement from Toei Animation about the continuation of Dragon Ball Super's anime. This anticipation grew when a fan on X (previously known as Twitter) surfaced compelling evidence suggesting that Toei Animation had indeed wrapped up the series.

The evidence in question was a Tweet featuring snapshots of Dragon Ball Super's Blu-ray box set. Although this initially caused some confusion among fans, a closer examination revealed a clear indication on the box set's cover: "Complete Series." Consequently, fans were left feeling disheartened, as this implied that Toei Animation had effectively brought the anime series to a close.

Toei Animation had already made it clear by creating an entirely new original anime series. The confirmation that there would be no sequel season came from the cover of the Complete Series box set, which displayed the first hints of this decision in 2020.

It appears that Toei Animation has chosen to take a different approach with the Dragon Ball franchise. Rather than following the traditional format of adapting manga into television anime, the studio prefers to release the anime first, followed by a manga adaptation. This can be observed in the case of Dragon Ball Super and its accompanying movies, such as Battle of Gods and Super Hero.

Furthermore, considering the extensive catalog of movies released by Toei Animation, it becomes apparent that the studio prioritizes film productions for higher revenue rather than television anime. Ultimately, it appears that the circumstances are unfavorable for Dragon Ball fans. Nevertheless, there still exists the potential for a sequel series to the Dragon Ball Super anime.

Thus, labeling it as the "Complete Series" would not be inaccurate. Additionally, with a total of 170 episodes, the series officially concluded and can be considered as truly complete.

Hence, if a new season for the anime were to be released, there is a good chance that it would have "Season 2" or any other phrase to indicate the same.
