Almost done with the first half of Kai, man I loved Cell and 16 a lot more than I thought I would

Dragon Ball Super appears to be officially ending in March.

Newspaper source.

Will be sad to see it go, but it's been a real fun ride and, well, it does kind of answer the question of "where could they possibly go from here" haha. The whole war with the angels theory is an interesting one to me, but looks like we're really not getting much after the Tournament of Power ends.

Still could return in the future (perhaps after the new movie?), but ~130 episodes is a good run.

I find it strange that Super is ending in March. I would think a show that is doing so well that they would keep it going. I guess they will bring it back after the movie is done.

Well the staff need a break and 130 episodes on a weekly basis is exhausting. Plus the franchise isn't as popular in Japan, Build's gotten better ratings since it shared DBS' timeslot iirc

Dragon Ball has the highest merchandise sales for Bandai next to Gundam though. Maybe after the new movie, we can see Super return. There is too much stuff untouch that Super needs to do next.

Those sales are worldwide, not just Japan.

130 eps sounds fine. Plus it being over doesnt mean they wont continue Dragon Ball in some form or another so no worries.

Dragon Ball still makes a lot of money from merchandise sales in Japan. Dragon Ball Heroes at the Arcades is a big money maker with kids since it is a card game. At least they said that the franchise is not going anywhere. I can see Super returning after the new movie is over.

This is irrelevant. My claim was that the franchise isn't as popular in Japan as it is overseas and that Build's ratings kicked DBS' ass, You're acting like I said it's a flop
