Dragon Ball Super Manga Set to Return in 2025 with Exciting Special One-Shot: Everything We Know!

The Dragon Ball Super manga went on an unexpected break in March 2024 after the sad passing of Akira Toriyama, the legendary creator of the Dragon Ball series. This left fans unsure about the future of the beloved franchise. While the main manga was on hiatus, the new anime series Dragon Ball Daima filled the gap with a side story separate from the manga’s events.

Now, there’s finally good news for fans. Dragon Ball Super will return with a special one-shot manga in the April 2025 issue of V-Jump. This new story will focus on Goten and Trunks, two characters who’ve often been left in the background during major battles in Dragon Ball Super. The one-shot is expected to take place during the Super Hero timeline, which was the last arc of the manga before its break.

What to expect from Dragon Ball Super Manga?

So far, there isn’t much detail about the story, but fans can look forward to seeing Goten and Trunks step into the spotlight. As teenagers, the two Hybrid Saiyans have a lot of untapped potential, and this new story could show them taking on more important roles. There’s even a possibility that we might see a teenage version of Gotenks, their powerful fusion form.

The return of Dragon Ball Super’s monthly manga release schedule hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the one-shot is a promising sign for the future of the series. Fans hope this will lead to a full comeback, especially since the manga left off with exciting developments, like the introduction of Black Frieza—a new, even more dangerous form of the iconic villain.

When the series eventually resumes, Goku and Vegeta will face their toughest challenge yet. Black Frieza was last seen easily defeating the strongest Saiyans in the universe. To stand a chance, the heroes might need help from Gohan, who has recently powered up, and Broly, who’s still refining his strength.

Even though it’s been a long wait, this upcoming one-shot shows that Dragon Ball Super is gearing up for a strong return. It will be the first original Dragon Ball manga story released after Toriyama’s passing, making it a highly anticipated and emotional chapter for fans. The countdown to April 2025 begins, and it’s safe to say that no fan will want to miss this exciting revival!
