What comes after Dragon Ball Super?

There's a lot more story out there.

Dragon Ball Z is indisputably one of the most iconic anime series of all time. Of all the anime out there, Goku and his Kamehameha are about as iconic as you get besides other anime classics like Ghost in the Shell and Akira. If you enjoyed the show and made it all the way through Dragon Ball Super, you’re probably wondering what’s next. Not to worry, we have the answer to that.

If you follow the canon of the show, then there’s not really anything after Dragon Ball Super, but there is a more recent anime called Dragon Ball Daima. Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a story continuation you’re not going to find it there. Daima is actually set before the events of Super, so it’s not exactly a continuation.

There are some movies, however, that do take place after the events of Super: Dragon Ball Super: Broly and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. The series’ creator Akira Toriyama passed away on March 1 of this year from a brain blood clot, so whether or not anything related to Super comes out remains to be seen.

Anime watchers clamoring for more stories in the universe can always seek out the manga, which goes way farther chronologically than the anime did. Obviously, there are differences between the two, but that’s about all there is.

There’s always the possibility that Toei Animation will continue the franchise with its own interpretation, similar to Dragon Ball GT, but hopefully someone will pick up where Toriyama left off.
