Dragon Ball Super Manga announces Its Comeback With Special One Shot
It is one of the Shonen manga series written by Akira Toriyama and illustrated by Toyotarou. It was first serialized in 2015 and follows the adventure of Goku and his friends ten years after the defeat of Margin Buu. Dragon Ball Super Manga was published in 2015 with 103 issues and 23 physical copies.
However, Dragon Ball Super’s manga was put on hold after the unfortunate position, having to pause after finally finishing its adaptation of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film. With unknown territory and the introduction of the menacing Black Frieza in Chapter 87 looming over the series, fans’ excitement quickly turned to grief and sadness after the passing of Akira Toriyama.
The future without the series creator does not seem bright, but the short side story is a good sign for Dragon Ball.
The upcoming Dragon Ball project will heavily focus on Trunks and Goten (the new generation of Saiyans) and continue their adventure to protect humanity from danger. Fans know about them from the Dragon Ball Z: Buu Saga, where they played a crucial role in defeating the Margin Buu. Though, theoretically, the two failed to defeat Buu when they had a chance, which caused other Z fighters to struggle and even have to lose their lives.
Fans know the two have the potential to overcome any challenges and can step in their father’s shoes when required. However, Dragon Ball Super never gave them any chance to shine. But with the recent announcement of Dragon Ball Super One Shot featuring Trunks and Gotens as the main characters, fans can expect to get the power-ups they deserve.
Plot & Summary Of The Upcoming One Shot Manga
Dragon Ball Super has been a fan favourite for years, and there are a million reasons behind it. The thing about Super that most fans aren’t happy is not giving Goten and Trunks enough time to shine in the story. They are the sons of the two most powerful characters in the anime universe, Goku and Vegeta, and the two characters learn to transform into Super Saiyan 3 after watching it.
Perhaps this is enough to showcase their potential to grow and surpass their father. Still, fans never had a chance to see them going toe-to-toe against powerful foes like Frieza.
They become a source of laughter in Super, and fans struggle to understand why. After the announcement of the Dragon Ball Super One Shot Manga at Jump Festa 2025, fans could hardly contain their excitement. The two may have potential power-ups in the upcoming project.

Recruiting newly upgraded Gohan, Namekian God (Piccolo), and a work-in-progress Broly, reinforcement is available, but more work needs to be done to match the fearsome power of Black Frieze.
