The Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the franchise announced a new anime titled Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol on Sunday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured right).
The new anime is adapting the Ginga Patrol Shuujin-hen (Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga) from Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou‘s Dragon Ball Super manga, continuing from the Dragon Ball Super anime’s Uchuu Survival-hen (Universe Survival Saga).
Dragon Ball Super aired in 131 episodes from Summer 2015 to Spring 2018. The Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie premiered in Japan in December 2018. The Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero sequel movie opened in theaters in June 2022, grossing over 2.51 billion yen (approximately US$92.1 million) worldwide.
The Dragon Ball Daima side story anime by Toei Animation, the latest installment in the franchise, aired in 20 episodes from Fall 2024 to Winter 2025. Crunchyroll streamed the anime with multiple subtitles and dubs, and plans to release it on home video on March 3.
Toriyama and Toyotarou began serializing the Dragon Ball Super manga in V-Jump magazine in June 2015. Shueisha published the 24th volume on April 4 last year.
VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in North America and published the 23rd volume last April, with the 24th volume set for a March 3 release.
