For years, Dragon Ball fans have been waiting for the return of Dragon Ball Super. The manga continued the story long after the Tournament of Power, but the anime stopped in 2018. Now, with rumors pointing toward a 2026 release, excitement for Dragon Ball Super Season 2 is higher than ever. The big question is simple what will the new arc focus on?
After Granolah: A Universe Ready for Change
The last major story in the manga was the Granolah the Survivor Saga. It gave fans a new look at Saiyan history and revealed just how much Goku and Vegeta had evolved. But by the end of that arc, one thing became clear — there are still much stronger forces out there. The shocking arrival of Black Frieza proved that the universe still holds new threats.
If Dragon Ball Super Season 2 follows the manga closely, the anime will likely adapt the Black Frieza Saga. This could become one of the most intense arcs ever seen, as Frieza now surpasses even Goku Ultra Instinct and Vegeta’s Ultra Ego forms.
Black Frieza Return: The Ultimate Villain
Frieza has always been one of Dragon Ball greatest villains. But his transformation into Black Frieza changed everything. He returned after years of training in another dimension and instantly showed how terrifying his power had become. With one move, he defeated both Goku and Vegeta — something no other villain has done so easily.
This version of Frieza feels different. He’s calm, confident, and more intelligent than before. Fans are wondering what his true goal is this time. Will he go after Beerus and the other Gods of Destruction? Or is he aiming to control the entire multiverse? Whatever his plan, it’s clear that Black Frieza will push the Saiyans beyond their current limits.
Gohan New Role in the Story
After Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan reclaimed the spotlight with his new Beast Form. The transformation shocked fans and reminded everyone that Gohan’s power still has no limit. Many now believe he will play a major part in the next anime arc.
It would be incredible to see Gohan fighting alongside Goku and Vegeta against Black Frieza. His Beast power could rival Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, giving fans a three-way clash of ultimate transformations. If Season 2 develops this further, Gohan could once again stand as the strongest warrior on Earth.
The Gods of Destruction and the Bigger Picture
One thing that still fascinates fans is the mystery behind the Gods of Destruction and the Angels. We’ve only seen a fraction of their true world. Characters like Beerus, Whis, and the other gods could return with a larger role as the universe faces new threats.
If the anime dives deeper into their hierarchy, we might finally learn more about Zeno’s role and the balance between creation and destruction. The next saga could easily connect all these divine layers together, setting the stage for Dragon Ball’s biggest storyline yet.
What Lies Ahead for Dragon Ball Super Season 2
With Akira Toriyama’s passing and Toyotarou continuing the legacy, Dragon Ball Super Season 2 will be more than just another chapter — it will be a tribute to everything that makes Dragon Ball special. The combination of new transformations, powerful enemies, and deeper cosmic storytelling could make this the most exciting return yet.
Fans around the world are ready. The only question left is when we’ll finally hear the official announcement.
