We’ve learned that a new season of Dragon Ball is coming.
The new season, dubbed simply Dragon Ball Chou (chou is Japanese for super), is being written by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.
While details are scant, we know the new story will take place after Goku defeats Majin Buu.
Goku’s Japanese voice actor, Masako Nozawa, said the reasoning behind their use of the subtitle is that chou is constantly used throughout the franchise in games, shows, and so on.
Dragon Ball Super is set to air in Japan this July.

April 28, 2015 at 8:59 amI will have to raise my power level before all this!

April 28, 2015 at 9:01 amSo this is basically the official GT taking place after Z and being anime only but this time it’s cannon

April 28, 2015 at 9:14 amI know it wont happen… But please do not make Goku the main focus again.
vileBrenman
April 28, 2015 at 9:20 amThey should focus on Goten… poor boy never got to shine like Gohan what with defeating cell and all…

April 28, 2015 at 9:36 amGotta keep that nostalgia train going.
At least they aren’t just re releasing z again.
Mr. Phazon
April 28, 2015 at 9:40 amWow, has it really been 18 years? The Cell saga was the last really good DBZ season in my opinion, Buu Saga was okay, then I lost interest when GT came out.
Hope it’s as good as Saiyan/Frieza/Android/Cell Saga’s, bring the magic back, because I feel it’s been lacking lately.
evilmajikman
April 28, 2015 at 9:43 amDefinitely not going to happen. They’re just going to give him a dozen more transformations that we’ve already seen. The only difference being hair color. Also what is the point of Uub when Goku is a God? Yeah? Forgot about Uub? If Goku knows Uub can never be as powerful as something like Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, wtf was the point of the final episode?

April 28, 2015 at 10:48 amPlease for the love of whatever you consider holy, do not ruin this franchize!
Nonscpo
April 28, 2015 at 10:49 amHow did Gohan get a chance to shine? His old man took his place as the main protagonist!
Nonscpo
April 28, 2015 at 10:51 amWhile I agree with you, the reality is that it won’t happen. The precedent was alresdy set, by Goku taking Gohans place as the main character during the Buu saga.
Jack Ripper
April 28, 2015 at 11:05 amGoku will save the day like usual.
Toriyama says Piccolo is his favorite character and we all know how much of a bench warmer he is.
deadeye
April 28, 2015 at 11:16 amYeah, you know. That one time he defeated Cell.
Oh but wait. He only managed to defeat him with help from his dad. Who was dead.
Oh but then, he got super strong in the Buu saga! Toriyama even confirmed he was the strongest non-fused character in the series! He was defeated almost immediately though.
Um….he beat Bojack? Too bad that wasn’t canon…
Poor Gohan. Gets upstaged by Goku almost more than Vegeta.

April 28, 2015 at 11:17 amWell lets remember end of the Cell Saga Gohan Strongest in the universe till Goku came back in the Buu saga.
PmcC
April 28, 2015 at 11:19 amWill this be continuing on from Revival of F and the with Goku and Vegata going Super Sayian God Super Sayian forms, and yes thats what their literally called that.
Mr0303
April 28, 2015 at 11:34 amI really disliked the direction Battle of the Gods took. I’m not yet sure how to feel about this. Revival of F looks silly (Blue hair – really?).
Even with all its flaws GT had a good ending that put the series to rest(I know it is not canon).
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

April 28, 2015 at 12:21 pmBut will it have cute girls doing cute things?
Audie Bakerson
April 28, 2015 at 12:57 pmBojack is at least the Toei film with the fewest continuity issues.
TheCynicalReaper
April 28, 2015 at 1:17 pmI love the Cell Saga so hard it’s almost criminal. That was the greatest climax since the Frieza Saga.
Leos
April 28, 2015 at 1:18 pmI’m sure it will because Battle of Gods opened up the concept of multiple universes and 12 gods of destruction and Bills said that there were even strong beings in the other universes.
Leos
April 28, 2015 at 1:20 pmIf any of the movies I could consider canon, it would be Bojack.
The Deuce
April 28, 2015 at 1:38 pmYeah, it’s pretty annoying how the series insists on making every character that isn’t Goku (and sort of Vegeta) hopelessly useless and obsolete.
PmcC
April 28, 2015 at 2:36 pmIt would be interesting story to explore that there are different worlds with much stronger fighters, we’ll just have to wait and see.
PmcC
April 28, 2015 at 2:38 pmIt was and epic climax, I remember my whole school talking about it the next day.
Siveon
April 28, 2015 at 3:56 pmHype! Hopefully the dub will come soon after.
Se'Quan Fenderson
April 28, 2015 at 4:42 pmshouldnt take place after he rides the dragon and leaves saying he will see them again…they are back tracking if they go back to majin buu…what about when pilaf wished goku to be a kid again and uub comes back stronger and they fight baby and the other villans
Leos
April 28, 2015 at 4:54 pmGT isn’t canon.
Leos
April 28, 2015 at 4:55 pmA combination of comedy and action would be perfect. I just hope it has proper downtime between each battle because that was one of my main beefs with GT.
Leos
April 28, 2015 at 4:57 pmI wouldn’t be surprised if the final episode wasn’t canon anymore especially after the new power-ups Goku and Vegeta have received.
Fenrir007
April 28, 2015 at 7:30 pmFrankly, I much preferred the old DB to DBZ since it had a much better balance of comedy, adventuring and less crazy power levels, but I dont see dragonball getting away from 5 minutes till Namek explodes and SSJ10.
I would much rather this new season focused on slice of life situations, though. One of the funniest episodes I saw in both DB and DBZ was the time Goku went to get a driver’s license. Pretty damn funny, I’d like to see more of that. It’s certainly better than eternal fights with recycled animation.
Fenrir007
April 28, 2015 at 7:32 pmNo more new super saiyan transformations, please!
Audie Bakerson
April 28, 2015 at 7:38 pmThat episode was actually a filler Toriyama had no part in creating. It seems to be one of the very few episodes people recommended watching.
Jack Ripper
April 28, 2015 at 8:52 pmAt least we can all confirm that GT was the worst.
Fenrir007
April 28, 2015 at 10:31 pmYes, I know its filler, but it was magnificent. I would love to see more of that. The daily lives of the Z warriors. Plus, we would get to see more of the characters that never get a chance to shine, and maybe Toriyama will finally remember Launch exists.
