Dragon Ball Super Season 2

There haven't been any official announcements regarding "Dragon Ball Super" Season 2, though many fans believe that it's just a matter of time. Hopes were raised when Toei animator Florence Jay Dominguito gave an interview about the future of "Dragon Ball Super" and appeared to confirm that a second season was on the way. Speaking to the Dragon Ball website, Dominguito discussed his hopes for the franchise's future, saying, "As a fan, I'm really looking forward to new movies and merchandise. I'm also excited about the new anime that will continue Dragon Ball Super."

Fans assumed this to mean that "Dragon Ball Super" Season 2 is definitely on its way, but there may have been an error in translation. As Japanese translator and anime influencer Ken Xyro pointed out on Twitter, what the Toei animator actually said was "I'm also excited to see if there will be a new continuation of 'Dragon Ball Super' TV anime." Whether it was an accidental slip or a rumor gone rogue, it's clear that fans want more "Dragon Ball Super," and are anxiously awaiting an announcement. More recently, some movement at the top of Shueisha (the company that publishes the "Dragon Ball" manga) caught the attention of the fans.

In 2023, news broke that Akio Iyoku had stepped down from his role in the Dragon Room, the name given to a group of high-ups at Shueisha who make all the big decisions regarding the future of the franchise. Iyoku left to start his own company, which he named Capsule Corporation Tokyo. According to Japanese outlet Bunshun Online, he wants Shueisha to transfer the "Dragon Ball" anime rights to his new company, but the publisher is reportedly reluctant to do so. If a deal can be struck then we might get "Dragon Ball Super" Season 2 sooner rather than later, but we'll have to wait and see what happens.
