Dragon Ball Super Anime Returns with New Saga and Remake
After an eight-year hiatus, the Dragon Ball Super anime is set to return with a new saga, the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga (likewise known as the Moro Arc), and a full remake of Dragon Ball Z. The announcements were made during the Genkidamatsuri event on January 24, 2026.
Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga
The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga will pick up where the original Dragon Ball Super anime left off, skipping the adaptation of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. The saga is based on the corresponding arc (Chapters 43-67) from Toyotarou’s Dragon Ball Super manga, which ran from December 2018 to December 2020. Kanzenshuu provides a detailed chapter list and synopsis of the arc.
In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Goku and Vegeta temporarily join the Galactic Patrol to confront Moro, an ancient wizard with the ability to absorb the power of others. The story begins with the Galactic Patrol attempting to recapture the slumbering Majin Boo, leading to a confrontation with Goku and Vegeta, who are subsequently enlisted to aid. Moro seeks the Dragon Balls on New Planet Namek, prompting Goku and Vegeta to warn the Namekians of the impending danger. Kanzenshuu
Dragon Ball Z Remake
In addition to the new saga, a full remake of Dragon Ball Z is also in production, scheduled for release in Fall 2026. This remake will begin with a fresh adaptation of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. GameRant
