DBS Arc Plannings Leading To Moro in 2027

[PrinceVegetto]

RUMOR: Dragon Ball Super - Beerus will be 6 episodes long. The Golden Freeza arc will follow with the same length.

Dragon Ball Super - The Galactic Patrol is aiming for a Fall 2027 release.

If true, do you think they’ll retell the DBS movies in a serialized anime format?

If we get nonstop airings of 6-episode arcs starting with Dragon Ball Super: Beerus in September 2026, here’s how the timeline might look:

• September 2026 – Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (6 episodes)

• November 2026 – Dragon Ball Super: Freeza (6 episodes)

• January 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Universe 6 (6 episodes)

• March 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Black (6 episodes)

• May 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Universe Survival (6 episodes)

• July 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Broly (6 episodes)

• September 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol (6 episodes)

• November 2027 – Dragon Ball Super: Granolah the Survivor (6 episodes)

• January 2028 – Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (6 episodes)

They are not going to produce the Galactic Patrol Prisoner and Granolah arcs into 6 episodes each. It will be much longer than that. I suspect the same is true for the Future Trunks and Universal Survival arcs. They already have enough materials to go past 6 episodes.

[BernardoCairo]

Yeah... If anything, I think it's much more likely that the Prisoner of the Galactic Patrol arc will be the same length as Daima's (around 20 episodes). And I don't think Granolah will be adapted for now. It will probably be left for the next "season" of the anime.

Also, 6 episodes for the TOP? I don't think that's possible.

[Vegard Aune]

Yeah no. It makes sense to condense Battle of Gods and Resurrection F's arcs into six episodes each since those stories are pretty short to begin with, but Universe 6? Should probably be at least 10. Future Trunks? Also probably needs at least 10-12. Universe Survival? I find it hard to imagine them doing it satisfactorily in anything less than 24 eps. And then Moro I think needs a full cour to flow naturally as well.

TOP is canonically 45 minutes, take away all the filler and add manga stuff, it'll probably go for 6-10 episodes, lol.

I think the Universe 6 (originally 14 episodes) and Future Trunks (originally 21 episodes) arcs could work as six episodes if they were smart about their editing. I doubt that they want to spend 24-26 episodes on both of them combined. At most, I would suspect thirteen episodes for both.

[The Dark Knight]

Beerus and Golden Freeza: from 27 down to 12 episodes.

The champa arc: from 14 down to 7 episodes.

The Zamasu arc: from 21 down to 8 episodes.

The Tournament of Power: from 55 down to 20 episodes.

Broly: 5 episodes (cutting the 100 minute movie into individual episodes).

That brings the total from 131 down to 52, which will cover exactly one year and will lead perfectly into Moro. Speaking of Moro, considering that it's made up of 25 chapters, each made up of 45 pages, I expect they'll just adapt one chapter per episode, giving us 25 episodes total.

[Hellspawn28]

I don't think we will see Moro until 2028 at this rate.

[The Dark Knight]

I don't think we will see Moro until 2028 at this rate.

The math adds up; they can easily wrap up this Super remake and start Moro by October of next year.

"Fun fact: this was called Dragon Ball Super Kai internally. You'll find BoG is now 6 episodes long.

The Golden Freeza arc will follow with the same length later.

It's a remaster, not a full remake. " -

On top of that, it's also being rumored that the episodes are longer in duration. So I believe what I presented could still be in the realm of possibilities...

This is very interesting, because an additional 10 minutes per-episode will change everything in terms of episode count.

[emperior]

My guess is:
- Beerus: 6 episodes
- Freeza: 6 episodes
- Universe 6: 7 episodes
- Goku Black: 8 episodes
- Tournament of Power: 13 episodes

Around 40 episodes, maybe with a break between Goku Black and Tournament of Power or smaller breaks (12 weeks total) between each “season”. I think DBS Broly could stay as a movie, aired after the Tournament of Power, but if they let Shintani focus on it adding a few scenes here and there and breaking it in episodes to air, that could work too.

The ToP can likely be cut even more, maybe to 9-10 episodes. I think people forget how much fat there was in both Future Trunks and USS arcs.

This schedule would allow Galactic Patrol to begin by fall 2027, a year after Beerus, with plenty of time in-between to make sure the enhanced DBS is done with care and does not have any quality problem whatsoever. I also guess they will try to make it as similar to the manga as possible.

[Mister_Popo]

Beerus: 6
Golden Freeza: 6
U6: 6
Zamasu: 12
TOP: 12

Zamasu arc is the most 'complex' arc of Super and needs the episodes for plot and character development.
TOP is mainly fighting, and therefore can be condensed a lot.

[The Accountant]

Practically confirmed:
Beerus: 6
Furiza!!!: 6

My guess:
U6 tournament: 8
Zamasu: 12
TOP: 20

Which leads to a total of 52 down from 131.

[Hellspawn28]

The Moro saga is like 25 chapters. If we get next year, it will probably take until 2029 for it to be done with.

[Koitsukai]

I think the only way to bring down the ToP to 6-10 episodes is to do it all over again, and follow the manga that skips main battles like if it's on a budget.

Or do like that youtube video that had the entire ToP run in 48 minutes, like Homer's take on Mr. Smith Goes to Washington's opening act. That would be a blast to see.

The FT arc is very convoluted to cram into 6-10 episodes. The original arc is 20 episodes long, at best I think you can bring it down to 13-15.

The Moro and Granny arcs probably will be Daima-like. Twenty episodes are more than enough.

[BernardoCairo]

I generally prefer the manga to the anime, but when it comes to the Tournament of Power, the anime was simply better.
The manga felt very rushed and missed the main point of the Tournament of Power, which was to tell stories through the fights themselves, something Dragon Ball has always been known for (particularly in the classic Tenkaichi Budokai arcs).
Are there some things that could be cut? Yes, definitely. But to get to that big climax everyone was hyped about in 2018, I think it would take at least 20 to 30 episodes.

They don't need to necessarily follow the comic. A second animated adaption of the Tournament of Power would need to decide what the most important beats of the story are and then just follow them. What is the primary story of the arc? Gokuu's hubris? Jiren's trauma? Freeza and #17's growth? How do those four things get established and then intertwined until they clash in the climax? Even if you devote twenty minutes to establishing those four arcs, that's still forty minutes of runtime in a two hour film for a ton of densely-packed action animation, especially if the film is structured with the tournament running in the present and flashbacks breaking up the fighting to establish what the characters are fighting for.

The cool thing about the Tournament of Power is that there's character material for most of the characters in the television series as-is, so there's a way to create a retelling through nearly any of the characters' eyes.

[BernardoCairo]

To really get the full experience of the TOP, I think you need to preserve a few key elements. Goku and Jiren’s clash is essential, as is the introduction of Ultra Instinct. Vegeta’s promise to Cabba is important, along with the Universe 6 Saiyajins and their fights with Goku. Android 17 being clever and ultimately winning the tournament needs to stay, as do Piccolo and Gohan working together. Muten Roshi’s role, especially his relationship with Goku and Kuririn, also matters a lot. Most importantly, the overall theme of teamwork and trust has to be kept, and that theme is best embodied by Freeza and his uneasy relationship with Goku and Gohan. Because of this, the ending needs to be Goku and Freeza versus Jiren.
Quite a lot of elements I would say.

They definitely need to be careful with how they handle the tournament, as the last thing I want to see is a version so watered down (like the manga) that it's not even worth watching. The vast majority of the 20 episodes that set up the tournament can be cut, but as for the actual tournament itself that's made up of the remaining 35 episodes, they do need to be careful with what they cut. One thing they can start with is all the time wasting commentary from the spectators, as it seemed like every time something happened, it would cut away to someone describing what we just saw. I also wouldn't miss them cutting out the majority of scenes that didn't involve characters from universes 6, 7, & 11, as they were pretty much glorified filler.
