The short teaser also featured an appearance from Masako Nozawa, Miyu Irino, and Mamoru Miyano. The reveal stood as a teaser for the upcoming YouTube stream scheduled for December 7, 2022, at 8 pm. It will be a celebratory stream to commemorate Super Hero and has been titled the "Red Ribbon Army Big Review Meeting."
Following the announcement, the community has high hopes for the stream. The movie was a success, and since then, the Super Hero theme has been hugely popular. The stream should reveal more about the Red Ribbon Army and near-future projects.
Current state of affairs
Speaking of the Dragon Ball manga, the last chapter, i.e., chapter 87, aired in August 2022 and has been on hiatus since then. With the next chapter highly anticipated, chapter 88 has been announced to release on December 20, 2022.
However, it will deviate from the original storyline and serve as a prequel to the events of the Super Hero movie. Goten and Trunks, who have been away from the center stage for a while, will receive the spotlight. It will also include Gohan and Piccolo.
As for the Dragon Ball anime, initial news hinted at a Super return with a new season in 2023. However, news on Twitter surprised fans with talk of a new anime set to release in December 2022. But this new anime has been confirmed to be something other than Super, i.e., not a continuation or adaptation of the manga.
At the moment, it is unknown what the anime will cover, and since it will be a completely new project, the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and the Granolah the Survivor Saga will not be featured.
Speculation points to a spin-off series to address the questions Super left unanswered. For instance, Jiren's origins could be touched upon, or even Hit's or Planet Sadala could be shown.
