Breaking news out of Japan. Dragon ball super is ending in March as the tournament of power comes to a close.
Anime fans will be saying farewell to Dragon Ball Super as another well-loved anime takes its place starting in April this year.
That’s right, Dragon Ball Super followers will now be facing a countdown as the series comes to a close at the end of March.
Anime fans were first alerted of the coming change when Toei Animation recently announced that a new anime adaptation of another long-loved anime/manga franchise, GeGeGe no Kitarō, was going to start airing on Fuji TV network from 9 am on Sunday, April 1st.
GeGeGe no Kitarō, which chronicles the adventures of the boy ghoul Kitarō who battles to protect humans from various yokai monsters, is a franchise that the Japanese public has been familiar since its first anime adaptation aired in 1968. There’s sure to be plenty of fans who were delighted with the news of a new anime series, but the announcement raised one big question: 9 am on Sundays is currently Dragon Ball Super‘s timeslot, so does that mean Dragon Ball Super is going to end?
To find out, our Japanese staff contacted Fuji TV and here’s the conversation they had upon making the inquiry:
SoraNews24 staff: So is Dragon Ball Super going to end?
Fuji TV: Yes, the current series will end for the time being.
SN24 staff: Really? It’s not moving to a new timeslot?
Fuji TV: No, the series will finish for the time being, and no definite plans have been set for the future.
SN24 staff: When you say it will finish for the time being, does that mean the Universe Survival Saga will come to a close?
Fuji TV: Yes, that’s right. The Universe Survival Saga will finish at the end of March.
SN24 staff: Will the series continue at a later time?
Fuji TV: Nothing has been decided yet, so we cannot say at this time, but if and when there are any developments, we will certainly announce it via press release.
So it’s true. With the “Tournament of Power” currently in full swing featuring the toughest and strongest characters we’ve seen so far battling for the survival of their respective universes, it’s hard to imagine, but the series really is drawing to an end in about two months.
