Dragon Ball has always been about pushing limits of power, storytelling, and imagination. With the rumored release of Dragon Ball Super 2 in 2026, fans believe the series will finally open the door to a true multiverse saga. The hints have been there for years, and 2026 might be when it all comes together.
A New Era After the Hiatus
The Dragon Ball franchise has been quiet since the Granolah the Survivor Saga ended in the manga. With Akira Toriyama’s passing and Toyotarou taking creative charge, the future of Dragon Ball is entering a new chapter. Many fans think this pause was intentional — to give time to reset the story and plan something far bigger than before.
If the 2026 comeback truly marks the beginning of DBS2, it could be the first time we explore multiple universes in depth, beyond the ones seen in the Tournament of Power.
Exploring the Multiverse’s Hidden Realms
So far, we know there are 12 universes in Dragon Ball. The Tournament of Power only showcased a handful of them, leaving the rest as a mystery. Future stories could finally show what kind of warriors, gods, and threats exist in those forgotten universes.
Universe 6 introduced us to Saiyans like Cabba, Caulifla, and Kale imagine what Universe 1 or Universe 5 could hold. There might even be new Gods of Destruction stronger than Beerus or new Angels with powers beyond Whis. This kind of expansion would give the story fresh depth and global stakes.
The Return of Old Legends
The multiverse concept could also bring back iconic characters in new ways. Alternate versions of Goku, Vegeta, or even Broly could exist in other timelines. The idea of multiversal fusions or divine rivals is already sparking huge discussions among fans online.
If DBS2 takes this path, we might even see a crossover between canon and alternate timelines possibly bringing in fan favorites like Xeno Goku or Super Saiyan 4–style forms in a reimagined way.
New Gods and Cosmic Threats
With Toriyama past notes and Toyotarou creative freedom, the next step for Dragon Ball could be introducing new cosmic hierarchies. Who stands above Zeno? What is the true purpose of the Grand Priest? Could there be beings who existed before creation itself?
This kind of storytelling could push the Dragon Ball mythos into a new realm mixing divine concepts with the classic martial-arts energy fans love.
What It Means for Fans
For longtime fans, the 2026 revival could be more than just a new season it could redefine the entire franchise. A true multiverse story allows every character to grow, new threats to emerge, and endless creative paths to explore.
From Goku mastering Ultra Instinct’s next stage to Vegeta unlocking deeper levels of Ultra Ego, the Dragon Ball multiverse might be the key to taking both power and storytelling to new heights.
The Future Is Infinite
The Dragon Ball multiverse has always been a sleeping giant and 2026 could be the year it wakes up. With new universes, divine rivals, and stronger warriors waiting to appear, the next era of Dragon Ball might be its boldest yet.
The Saiyans have already conquered their universe. Now, it’s time to conquer the multiverse.
