Encyclopedic overview
Dragon Ball Super is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation, based on the manga series Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. The original series aired in Japan on Fuji Television and its FNS affiliates from July 2015 to March 2018, spanning a total of 131 episodes. It was the first television series in the franchise to feature a new storyline in 18 years, serving as a midquel to Dragon Ball Z (1989–1996) and its remastered version Dragon Ball Z Kai (2009–2015), with the series' main story arcs based on original plot outlines written by Akira Toriyama and adapted for the anime by Toei Animation's writers and staff.
Set during the time frame of Toriyama's original manga, the series follows the adventures of Son Goku and his friends during the ten-year timeskip after the defeat of Majin Buu. The series begins with a retelling of the events of the Dragon Ball Z films Battle of Gods (2013) and Resurrection 'F' (2015) before telling new story arcs. Two sequel films were released: Broly (2018) and Super Hero (2022). A remaster of the Battle of Gods arc, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, will premiere in 2026, while a sequel to the anime and follow-up to the film Broly, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, is also in production.
