Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 DBS remaster, DBS galactic patrol arc, Age 1000 announced.

I could see why a remake would be needed if they were doing it with the intention of streamlining it with the manga so they could go through with the Moro arc. Not only does it fix the continuity problem between the two, but if the manga is coming back as well, it'll give Toyotaro some more room. Doubly so if they also adapt the Broly movie and Superhero.

They could just alter the Moro and Granolah arcs to fit the 2015 animated series' continuity, though.

From what I recall there wasn't even much in them that actively contradicts the anime. Like, I know Goku made a reference to the time he tried to use Beerus's technique against Zamasu, but... was there anything else? I guess Gohan's characterization, but then that's a continuity gaff in the manga too, since Toyotaro ended up just faithfully replicating Gohan's character regression in the Super Hero arc...

[MCDaveG]

Is there any way to check those leaks? I've tried to search online, but from what I've found, it's more like sensational fan rumors than actual leaks.
But I am looking forward to Hironobu Kageyama Chala Head Chala karaoke

While I doubt they will "remaster" DB Super and fans' wet dreams of one coherent canon will definitely be unheard again,
but as a concept, I wouldn't be against them making a brand new version based of the manga and spin off as a movie sequels.
Battle Of Gods not to mention the director's cut, is perfect as it is, Ressurection F is a sequel, still better than the show except for two things, I did enjoy addition of Gotenks and Ginyu, and they can adapt other movies...
Universe 6 Tournament, Future Trunks, Tournament Of Power, Moro and Granolah.

Super is painfull to watch, with some of the writing and exceptionally poor production quality, but IMHO I wouldn't be able to sit through the same 100+ episode show, even if it looks like dying and going to TOEI's never before seen quality heaven.

If the statement about major projects isn't pumped up PR BS, it might be either continuation of Super's Moro and Granolah arc (OAV format?), or some post mortem Toriyama project they believe they won't F up, or something different altogether. I still believe in some kind of movie.
But if that was a Daima sequel/continuation out of nowhere, that'd make me probably happy the most.
It will be 8 years since the show ended next year, it was fun for what it was back in the day and I am ready to keep it in the bin.

Yeah, which is also why I think just going with how Tomioka wrote Gohan in the Tournament of Power arc would feel much less repetitive and give the story more to work with.

If Super is going to be remade I assume that TOEI must have new castings for all the adult characters in mind because with Masako Nozawa turning 90 next year committing to another long running Dragon Ball show will be demanding health wise, even if they go seasonal.

Nozawa will be at the event next year, so it would be the perfect opportunity to have Goku's new voice there as well so that Nozawa can pass down the torch.

[MCDaveG]

Anyway, I am bit afraid that the Sparking Zero promo video from a while ago about adding more content, might be just doing promo for whatever new stuff is coming, rather than finish up some of the cut content.

Whatever new anime project they announce won't be out for a awhile, maybe as long as a year from when it's announced, so chances are the SZ content will be the cut content like Super 17 and the three Tamagamies.

40th anniversary of anime would be perfect timing to do that.
There's no guarantee that Nozawa would be around in 50th anniversary, let alone 45.

[funrush]

While it makes sense to replace Nozawa I thought she sounded fine in Daima and she might not want to go yet. She could be one of those Dick Van Dyke or Betty White type people that can just keep going until they're 100. But if she wants to step down that's perfectly understandable too, most people don't make it to their 90s at all let alone work during them.

[JulieYBM]

I seriously doubt that Nozawa will step down, which is why I doubt that we'll get a full-on new adaption of the original comic. That being said, I can ses Iyoku and the powers that be wanting to emulate the success of Kimetsu no Yaiba and Chainsaw Man in international theaters, so perhaps new takes on the Super arcs are not out of the question.

[SSGpotota]

While I'd love a proper remake of Super, the idea feels so... redundant? Battle of Gods and Resurrection F arcs again? For the THIRD time? It makes much more sense to just continue from the Moro arc. They need to adapt new stuff for DLCs too, when I saw Shallot getting added to Sparking Zero I got the idea they're kinda desperate for new content

[The Dark Knight]

On one hand, I'd prefer to jump into the new content from the get go. On the other, the original Super anime was so bad that I can't honestly be upset about it getting a remake that will do it justice this time around.

I'd love one too, but idk it's just too recent to make sense. If there's gonna be a remake, it would be for either the OG Dragon Ball series or Z, which IMO make more sense as 40th anniversary projects.
If they remake OG Dragon Ball they could just keep going until reaching the Super arcs some years down the line, that would be cool.

Super is too new for a remake, the idea of doing it so soon is straight up weird, who even started this rumor

Super is too new for a remake, the idea of doing it so soon is straight up weird, who even started this rumor

It started ten years ago and wrapped up its TV run seven years ago. Super is by no means a new series anymore. And it wouldn't be the shortest turnaround from the original to a remake. Fullmetal Alchemist got two wholly distinct anime adaptations in the span of six years. Though, admittedly, the timing there likely has more to do with them wanting to capitalize on the fact that the manga was wrapping up, and noticing that there was a fair bit of demand for an anime that actually followed the manga's story, which the 2003 series only loosely did for its first half before going off in its own direction when they ran out of material.

...Though to me, too, the idea of starting Super over seems silly. I may not like most of it, and think there's a lot of BS in the show that could be ironed out, but I do think it would make far more sense to just... pick up from where it left off, either with a retelling of Broly or just jumping straight into Moro.

I imagine they would just do film versions of the three TV-exclusive arcs, if anything.

Well I didn't say "Super is new", I said it's "too new for a remake" which is different, but yeah, it would definitely be silly to do it so soon.

There isn't an anime that got remade just 10 years later that I know of at least, and like you've said, the fma example is both due to the fact that the source material was ending, and because they didn't adapt it well the first time around.

Only other example I can think of is hxh which got remade 11 years later, but they did that because it was a new studio, and to adapt the at the time new chimera ant arc, they wanted the show to have a cohesive look beginning to end (especially considering the huge technology jump at the time)

[JulieYBM]

I don't think film-versions of the Champa, Future Trunks and Tournament of Power arcs are out of the question, considering how popular mere compilation films have been as of late. I think there's a possibility of doing some kind of new film version of those arcs with new animation, if they're looking for an easy sell where they can market 'improved animation' for arcs that were generally well-received—especially the Tournament of Power.

[Mr Baggins]

I do think it would make far more sense to just... pick up from where it left off, either with a retelling of Broly or just jumping straight into Moro.

No. That would make less sense, not more.

The Moro arc specifically makes reference to events that happened exclusively in the manga, and does so multiple times. I can guarantee that nobody at Toei is thinking about reworking entire scenes (i.e. Roshi vs. that female trio) just to appease people in a rush to get to new content.

What makes the most sense is adapting the material leading up to Moro before they get around to animating Moro.

Of course nobody is thinking about it right now, nobody is being paid to think about it. When it's time to think about the scene...they'll think about it. And probably just tweak the scene in their adaption, because it's not the big deal that you're making it out to be.
