I think ''Dragon Ball'' will continue on in the future, so I hope everyone looks forward to it. '''Hayashida''': A lot of things became apparent by raising the bar. The staffing and casting were on point to a level they've never been before, and though I feel that we did a great job, I'll use this experience to aim even higher in the future! '''Iyoku''': There were some things that we weren't able to execute this time, so I think the next one will turn out to be even more amazing. Please look forward to it.}}
