A newDragon Ball Supervolume is confirmed to come out this year, and sooner than expected. After almost a year of hiatus,Dragon Ball Superfans are finally getting some good news and can hope that the series will soon return to its regular schedule.
A new chapter was released this week. It was initially announced as a “special one-shot”, but it was later confirmed to be the continuation of the story. With this announcement, fans started wondering if it means thatDragon Ball Superwill resume its monthly schedule. Alongside the new chapter, it has been revealed thatDragon Ball Super Volume 24will be released on May 29, 2025, in Japan. It will likely include Chapters 101-104, and it’s already available to pre-order in Japanese stores,like Rakuten.
When Is Dragon Ball Super Returning to Its Regular Schedule?
The officialDragon Ballaccount teased last week that the new chapter would be the beginning of a new arc. However, no new arcwas announced in Chapter 104, so it could be a mistranslation. Additionally, there isunfortunately no information regarding when Chapter 105 will be out.
Dragon Ball SuperChapter 104 should soon beavailable to read on Manga PLUS.
Is The Launch of a New Volume a Good Sign?
When a series goes on a hiatus, publishers might choose not to release the next volume before a return date is set. This way, they can launch the volume close to the return date — this happens, for example, withHunter x Hunter.
However, if the prospects of resuming regular serialization become complicated, the volume may be released as soon as possible, especially when the scenario becomes too uncertain. It could be that Shueisha scheduled the volume for April 2025 because they are expecting toresume the series soon, but it could be that they decided it would be better to release the volume without havingany projection of resuming the series. For now, fans have little choice but to wait for more information.
