Surprisingly, one of Dragon Ball Super’s license managers announced that a new project is currently being prepared. What could it be?
During an interview with Japanese magazine V Jump, Akio Iyoku, one of the development managers of the Dragon Ball Super license, confirmed that a new DBS project is already in the works. We can find some of the ITV through a’s Twitter account Fan de la license
A Dragonball interview
What are your plans now that DBS: Super Hero is out in Japan?
DBS Super Hero is not a film that was only conceived for Japan and its audience. Dragon Ball is a work that Japan is very proud of. We will also release it in America this summer. And since you’re asking… A new project is in the works. It took us 5 years to work on the DBS Super Hero movie, so it’s normal that we’re already starting to work on what happens next (laughs). Toriyama-sensei himself continuously develops DB projects. We all think about what we want to show the world after.
We can expect a return of the DB Super anime without getting too wet, although the man doesn’t specify in the interview whether it’s a new movie (the third derivative of DB Super) or the return of the anime series. The series has been on hiatus since March 2018.
For the record, Dragon Ball Super is the direct sequel to Dragon Ball Z, the adaptation of the manga by Akira Toriyama, who is also quoted in the interview.
