The Dragon Ball Super manga is back, bringing a historic shift for the franchise this April 2026. With Toyotarou confirmed as Akira Toriyama’s official successor, the author now holds the power to integrate old concepts into the canon, potentially turning the legendary Super Saiyan 5 into official reality. This decision marks a new era for fans, as the mangaka takes full control of the narrative without the direct supervision of the original creator.
Toyotarou’s rise to the top of the franchise means his earlier works, such as the famous Dragon Ball AF fanzine, gain unprecedented relevance. In the past, only what came from Toriyama was law; now, however, Toyotarou’s sketches and ideas set the course of the story. As a result, the white-haired, fur-covered form that once lived only in fans’ imaginations gains official-material status starting with Chapter 105.
The end of the barriers between what is official and what is filler
In recent interviews, the saga’s new leader stated that he sees almost all Dragon Ball material as part of one large connected universe. Thanks to this vision, productions such as Dragon Ball GT and Super Dragon Ball Heroes may be integrated into the main timeline more smoothly. Chapter 104 already took the first step in that direction by including Olibu, a character previously restricted to filler episodes of the classic anime.
Beyond this unification, the franchise’s future also expands to screens with the remake Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, scheduled to premiere in winter 2026. Meanwhile, readers eagerly await the official date of the next manga chapter, which promises to firmly cement these bold transformations. In this way, Toyotarou not only carries on Toriyama’s legacy but also embraces the fan culture that has kept the series alive for decades.
