Jan. 25, 2026 (JAPAN) - Today, at “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri”, an event held at Makuhari Messe in Japan to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball, it was announced during the opening stage, “Exclusive Announcements! GENKIDASTAGE Part 1,” that the newest arc in the franchise, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, is officially set for production. Stay tuned as Dragon Ball continues to reach new heights!

Today, at “Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri,” the Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary event being held at Makuhari Messe, Ms. Masako Nozawa, voice of Son Goku, and Mr. Akio Iyoku, the Executive Producer of the Dragon Ball series, attended the opening stage entitled “Exclusive Announcements GENKIDASTAGE Part 1.” There, a surprise announcement was made about the production starting for Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol.
This will be the story following the “Universe Survival Arc” of the anime Dragon Ball Super, which aired between 2015 and 2018. It also appears in the manga Dragon Ball as the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc.” The main character, Son Goku, and Vegeta, work together with the members of the Galactic Patrol, the peacekeepers of the galaxy, to begin a SUPER scale battle against a new enemy, “Planet-Eater” Moro!

The teaser visual showing Goku and Vegeta standing with the Galactic Patrol symbol is revealed!

The teaser visual for this title was also revealed globally for the first time during the “Exclusive Announcements GENKIDASTAGE Part 1.” Along with the logo for Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, Goku and Vegeta are seen wearing an uniform and battle armor with the Galactic Patrol symbol on the chest. With stern expressions on their faces and a large Galactic Patrol emblem in the background, the visual offers an exciting first look at the two warriors standing side by side.

    • Why Toyotarou isn't Credited for Original?
      the Moro Arc (Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc) was not in the formal, detailed plans from Akira Toriyama before Toyotaro began working on it. In fact, Toyotaro has confirmed that he created the Moro Arc largely on his own, with Toriyama providing approval rather than the initial, detailed script.

      • I'm very happy with this good news, But... my problem is that you should include Toyotarou in the credits; he was the most involved in this arc.
