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

Even if it’s Toyotaro’s creation, it’s still Toriyama’s IP. Everything and anything with Dragon World belongs to Toriyama and Toyotaro is using his IP to continue the story. Don’t read too much into it.

That's completely meaningless. Those of us that care or make a distinction between Toriyama's Dragon Ball and everything else are not talking about the IP or who owns it. There's plenty of non-Toriyama Dragon Ball, and it doesn't make it Toriyama's just because they are using the IP.

Toriyama is credited with the story of every single chapter in the Moro saga. Every chapter in the Moro saga contains "writing by Akira Toriyama" on the cover.

So it's factually wrong to say that Moro saga is "non-Toriyama Dragon Ball".

That credit is a known mistranslation. What it says in Japanese is 原作, "Original Work". It literally just means that Toriyama created Dragon Ball as a whole. Toyotaro is, and always was, the primary writer for the DBS manga, even in the arcs where he was working off of Toriyama's outlines.

[The Dark Knight]

Toriyama worked on the Moro arc in more or less the same capacity he did with the previous Super arcs, as Toyotaro went into great detail about how much he was involved with both it and the Granola arc, as well as the manga as a whole. There's also the fact that Toriyama has made some changes to the arc for the anime's adaption.

Here's my timeline for the remake:

Beerus arc: October 4th - November 8th
Golden Freeza arc: November 15th - December 20th
Champa and beyond: January 2027.

And yet Toyotaro was never mentioned at this convention, not even when they revealed the anime adaptation of the Moro saga.

The same thing goes for the New Super. They never said it's based on "Toyotaro's world-building and lore." They said it's based on TORIYAMA's world-building and lore.

Which means that New Super won't be a 1:1 adaptation of the manga. And neither should the animated Moro saga.

Dragon Ball Super BoG enhanced movie

It's not a movie, it's a revision of the first arc of Super, like Dragon Ball Kai. They'll probably continue with the following arcs.

That's been announced with at least Golden Freeza, yes.

All in all, I’d say the presentation was underwhelming. The Moro announcement was easily the biggest news, but that’s still ultimately just adapting a story that’s been around for years at this point and I could not care less about the idea of Super more or less getting the Kai treatment.

On the video game side of things, the new game they announced gives us almost nothing to go off of and the Sparking Zero DLC is basically them admitting how unfinished the game was at launch.

With Moro, this is what everyone wanted & they're using the recut of Super to drum up hype for it as well as correct some of the wrongs with its animation.

The game is still in early development. This has happened with the last few games where they announce them before they have anything to show off. It's like Pokemon.

I keep seeing the phrase "to remind audiences of what DBS is..." Who doesn't know what Dragon Ball Super is? Let alone what DB is. Is this refresher course really needed?

Wouldn't airing the movies on TV serve the same purpose and cut costs?

Literally, it's to get people who haven't watched Super on board. Super premiered 11 years ago remember.

Dragon Ball anime never got a remake, surely less kid watched Dragon Ball compared to Dragon Ball Super.

Crunchyroll has these:

Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball Z Kai
Dragon Ball GT
Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Daima

So 10 year old kids has access to it. It isn't like in the 90s when they could only rely on the TV network.

As for the manga there is Viz to read all the manga of Dragon Ball.

Crunchyroll isn't a streaming service a lot of kids would go on. That would be either YouTube, Hulu, Disney+, or Netflix. Crunchyroll being exclusively an anime streaming site & not meant for children (their main demographics are teens & young adults) kinda locks kids out of it. Same with the manga. What kids are reading the Dragon Ball manga? Especially on the Viz website or app? This really comes off as "old man yells at clouds" energy.

I never said that other people didn’t want that. I’m speaking for myself when I say that I don’t care for it.

I know the game is still in early development. I never suggested otherwise. That has nothing to do with what I said about how there’s nothing to go off of.

[super michael]

Scsigs does Netflix have Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Daima? I don't have Netflix so I can't check. Kids can read the 3 latest chapter for free in the viz website and app.

Doesn't kid nowadays still read manga and comics? Instead of going to a shop to buy them, they can read it online.

[Cold Skin]

This is all exciting, the Moro arc, the remake arc (hopefully and probably more to come) and the Sparking Zero huge "lots of things you asked for" update.

Some people ask why a remake/ultra-remaster of DBS.
I don't know, when people basically say "not up to standards" the first time, maybe it's a good idea to give it a big update to say "we make it decent this time" instead of leaving it subpar forever?
It's like saying "no, please don't correct what was generally deemed subpar, the animation is good enough when we qualify it as not good enough".

It's a nice bonus, as in "we rushed it and did it wrong, let us do it properly for real this time so that you have a greater version to replace the current one in your home" and not leaving it as "the DB anime series for which you have to suffer through poor animation for quite a while if you want to watch it".

The new Dragon Ball Super blue version needs to let us go through all the arcs from Dragon Ball Super in top quality (for an anime series, cause it surely won't reach DBS Broly quality of course!). The blue logo is like a seal of "this is the real, complete, max version" with the title changing for every arc as its own mini-series forming a big DBS anthology. But it's quite a daunting task if it happens they do really want to cover every arc under the new "blue Super" anthology, even if shortening every arc to 6-7 high quality episodes.

It's quite a welcome concept!

Both Sparking Zero and DBS seemed to finally understand "oops, we need a big update to bring it up way closer to what it can actually be, let's improve it quite a bit".

Yeah, I don't get this fan base to be honest. Fans have spent literally a decade complaining about Super's quality, but now when Toei decides to correct their mistake, these same fans are against it ? Please make up your minds.

Kids are kind of bound to whatever streaming services their parents are willing to pay for. They’re less likely to have Crunchyroll than, say, Netflix or Amazon Prime but weeb parents procreating to pass on weeb children definitely exist.

They don’t but Hulu has every Dragon Ball series in English albeit Kai in place of Z but that seems to be preferred way to watch for people born after 1995 anyways.


I really hope that people aren’t actually trying to say kids don’t read at all. That’s just peak boomer mentality. They read about as much as past generations do. Some read a lot, some only read manga and comics, and some only read when forced to on a school assignment when they can’t get with faking that they did.

It has Daima because that's part of how it was distributed internationally last year. Literally nothing else, though. I think Hulu has most of the other shows, so it's possible kids have watched them through that, but I don't know.

Some kids read comics, but I don't know how many go out of their way to read manga, or how to read it online. Not to say they can't, but how many go out of their way to? That's more of a teenager thing, I'd think.

Netflix UK had Battle of Gods, Resurrection F and Broly (albeit subbed) at one point too, but sadly they never had any of the TV anime and those movies alone aren't enough of a refresher for going into the Moro arc.

Can't wait to see the scene where Goku and Vegeta save Gohan from Frieza finally fixed

[Kenji]

I'm kind of late to the party, but are we seriously getting Battle of Gods redone again?!?!
I'm so tired of retellings and reimaginations, can we please get something new?

[Cold Skin]

This is like the new Tomb Raider games (and the Resident Evil games to an extent): we get a nice overhaul in between new episodes, and that's a mighty fine way to handle things!

Give us a mix of new adventures and of "actually, we can do better than what we could do back then for this specific story".

You do get something new, it's called the Moro arc.
The Battle of Gods TV version being FINALLY corrected as it should have been a long time ago is a nice bonus, along with any other arc going the same way. It was long overdue.

That's not true. He came up with the story of the previous arcs and the movies. The staff might have suggested wanting to see Frieza, Trunks or Broly, but they didn't come up with the story. He did.

He didn't come up with the story of the Moro arc. He only supervised it. Which is better than not supervising at all, but it's not a Toriyama story per se.

[Kenji]

I'm sorry to be blunt, but I kind of see no point.
The Battle of Gods movie was fine as it was, the TV series didn't really add anything all that substantial to the story and could easily be ignored and skipped.

I do have one question: Is this a TV anime or a movie?
Because even if it does have superior animation... I don't know, I don't feel like sitting through 4 episodes to finally introduce Beerus all over again, or entire episodes with Goten & Trunks, and Pilaf Gang shenanigans.

EDIT:
Yeah, I know, Moro Arc and everything.
I have already read it, and I'm as excited to see it as I was excited to see the Super Hero movie retold in manga format...
That is to say, I'm completely uninterested here.

[Grimlock]

All that means is they came up with a fusion and asked Toriyama to design one.

Yeah, there's that possibility too, I guess.

Can't wait to see the scene where Goku and Vegeta save Gohan from Frieza finally fixed

You made me remember, Piccolo dies saving Gohan in the retelling, doesn't he? We are about to have peak writing, and better yet, with some glorious animation! Isn't that fun!?

I'm so tired of retellings and reimaginations, can we please get something new?

No. Why would you want something new? We are all about reliving our dearest memories. It doesn't make sense to wish for something new.
