Official Announcement: Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol Is Now In Production
During the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri 40th anniversary event at Makuhari Messe in Japan (January 25, 2026 JST), Toei Animation confirmed that Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is officially in production.
This is the direct continuation of the Dragon Ball Super anime (which ended in 2018 after 131 episodes). It adapts the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc” from the Dragon Ball Super manga (chapters 42–67), also known as the Moro Arc. Original work, story, and character design are by Akira Toriyama.
In straightforward terms: After the Universe Survival / Tournament of Power arc, Goku and Vegeta team up with the Galactic Patrol (the galaxy’s peacekeepers, including Jaco) to recapture dangerous escaped prisoners from a high-security space prison. The main villain is Moro, the “Planet-Eater” — an ancient sorcerer who drains life energy from planets, people, and fighters’ ki. This arc delivers magic-infused battles, strategic fights, high galactic stakes, and excellent character moments (especially for Vegeta).
The announcement included a teaser key visual: Goku and Vegeta in Galactic Patrol uniforms and armor (with the emblem on their chests), looking intense against a giant Galactic Patrol logo backdrop. Pure excitement!
Release Date for Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol (2026 Update)
As of January 25, 2026, Toei has confirmed Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is in production — but no exact release date or premiere window has been announced yet.
- The original Dragon Ball Super anime ran from 2015–2018.

- Fan estimates based on production scale and quality expectations point to late 2026 at the earliest or more likely 2027.
