Dragon Ball Super Manga Hiatus: What Is Confirmed?
The Dragon Ball Super manga’s hiatus is often discussed as if it began on one simple date. The publication record is more precise: the regular Super Hero adaptation ended first, and a special one-shot arrived almost a year later.
The confirmed sequence
Chapter 103 completed the Super Hero adaptation in March 2024. No regular monthly continuation followed it in the verified chapter index. In February 2025, Chapter 104 — “The Birth of Saiyaman X” — appeared as a special prequel one-shot and was later collected with Chapters 101–103 in Volume 24.
That sequence explains why two statements can sound contradictory while both contain part of the truth. The manga did publish a numbered chapter in 2025, but that chapter did not establish a resumed monthly schedule or announce Chapter 105.
What “on hiatus” means here
It means the series has no new regular chapter and no announced return date in the sources used for the tracker. It does not mean the publisher has declared the story finished, and it does not prove any single rumoured reason for the pause.
Why Chapter 105 claims spread
Chapter 105 is the obvious next number, so it becomes a magnet for speculation. A post can combine the real facts — 104 exists, Toyotarou remains associated with the series, and fans expect another arc — into a fake certainty about a date. The missing step is the only one that matters: an official announcement.
What readers should watch
- A new entry in VIZ’s official chapter index.
- A MANGA Plus listing or announcement.
- A V Jump table of contents or preview naming the chapter.
- An official Dragon Ball or Shueisha announcement.
Our status tracker keeps the baseline and update log in one place. If an announcement appears, the tracker will change the state and record the source rather than simply replacing the word “hiatus” with a guessed date.
The useful way to spend the wait
Read the manga-led arcs that many anime viewers have not seen in animated form. Moro and Granolah are not side stories; they contain major development for Goku, Vegeta, Merus, Granolah and Frieza, and they explain why Black Frieza dominates current return speculation.
