Does Dragon Ball Super Chapter 105 Have a Release Date?

Right now, Dragon Ball Super Chapter 105 does not have a release date, at least according to Viz Media and MangaPlus, who distribute the manga in English. As such, it’s unknown at this time when — or if Dragon Ball Super will return. We’ll update this article if a release date is eventually announced. However, that might take some time.

Following the passing of Dragon Ball franchise creator Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball Super manga went on hiatus for quite some time. However, the manga did return for chapter 104, “The Birth of Saiyaman X,” on February 19, nearly a year after the previous release. Toriyama and artist Toyotarou were cited as the team for that chapter.

Will Dragon Ball Super Return?

The future of the Dragon Ball franchise following Toriyama’s passing isn’t totally clear. The mangaka worked on the Dragon Ball DAIMA anime, which recently ended. Producer Akio Iyoku also hinted at the possibility of a Dragon Ball-centric announcement in 2025, which many figure is a movie. However, that’s not confirmed at the time of this article’s latest update. It’s possible that project might not be related to Dragon Ball Super, and it doesn’t necessarily have any relationship to the manga.

Regardless, the Dragon Ball franchise is so iconic that I wouldn’t expect it to go anywhere soon. Even if we don’t get a new manga chapters, movies, or anime for some time, I really do think Goku and his friends will be back eventually.

Update: This article was updated on 3/14/25 by the original author to reflect the release of Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 and with information on Chapter 105.
