What Is the Release Date for Dragon Ball Super’s Next Manga Chapter?

At the time of this article’s most recent update, Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103 is the newest chapter, and it released on March 20. Previously, MANGA Plus listed the manga as returning for Chapter 104 on May 20. However, that’s since been updated on the page, which now notes that Dragon Ball Super is on hiatus. That means we’ve got no idea at this time exactly when the next chapter will release — or if there will be one at all.

Dragon Ball franchise creator Akira Toriyama, who is billed as the manga’s writer, passed away on March 1, 2024. It’s unclear if someone would take over writing duties from him, or if the manga will simply come to an end. We’ll update this article as we find out more about what’s going on.

What Happened Most Recently in Dragon Ball Super?

If you’ve seen Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, you’ll know pretty well what’s been going on in the manga. A Gohan and Piccolo-centric arc, the manga saw the duo taking on Commander Magenta, a villain attempting to revive the Red Ribbon Army from the original Dragon Ball. He received help from Dr. Hedo, the grandson of Dr. Gero, who created the Androids. Of course, this led to a new version of Cell, Cell Max, entering the fray.

Gohan and Piccolo both accessed new transformations, and in his “Beast” form, the former obliterated Cell Max. Plus, in a special little scene, Vegeta successfully beat Goku for the first time while training on Beerus’ planet, which is great for him! Dragon Ball Super Chapter 101 served as a sort of epilogue to that story while setting up something new.

In Dragon Ball Super Chapter 102, Goku and Gohan began sparring in an attempt to test the latter’s new Beast mode form. The fight between the two, which is taking place on Beerus’ planet, has proven absolutely epic, and the amount of destruction they’ve wreaked has thoroughly annoyed the God of Destruction. That battle continued into Chapter 103, which also saw Gohan take on Broly.

So as for what happens next, well, we’ll just have to wait and see in the next exciting chapter of Dragon Ball Super.

Update: This article was updated on 3/28/24 by the original author to reflect Manga Plus delisting the previously posted release date for the next chapter of Dragon Ball Super.
