Is the Dragon Ball Super Manga Finished?
No — the Dragon Ball Super manga is not finished. It is on hiatus. No ending has been announced by Shueisha, VIZ or any official Dragon Ball channel, the story’s biggest threads are openly unresolved, and the latest chapter — 104, published in February 2025 — was a side-story one-shot, not a finale.
Hiatus and finished are different claims
“Finished” is a statement about the story: it has concluded, the publisher has said so, and collected editions present it as complete. None of that is true here. “Hiatus” is a statement about the schedule: publication has paused. Dragon Ball Super is in the second state, and confusing the two is how most of the misinformation around this series starts.
The evidence, in one place
- Latest chapter: 104, “The Birth of Saiyaman X” (February 2025) — a prequel one-shot, structurally incapable of being a series ending.
- Open threads: Black Frieza’s unnamed target, the next stage of Gohan, Broly and the younger Saiyans, and the unresolved hierarchy questions the Granolah arc deliberately raised.
- No announcement: no publisher statement, magazine notice or creator message has declared the manga complete or named a final arc.
- Collected edition: Volume 24 (Chapters 101–104) is presented as a continuation volume, not a final one.
Why the rumour keeps spreading
The pause is long, the creator situation is genuinely complicated, and “finished” is a more clickable word than “paused.” Add screenshot accounts that crop old announcements and the claim resurfaces every few weeks. Our hiatus explainer walks through the timeline in detail, and the status tracker keeps the current state with its sources.
What would actually change this answer
One thing: an official statement. If Shueisha, V Jump, VIZ or the official Dragon Ball website announces an ending — or a return — this page and the tracker will be updated the same day, with the source linked. Until then, the honest answer stays: not finished, on hiatus, no date.
