The beloved “Dragon Ball Super” manga, penned and illustrated by the all-star Toyotaro, is making a comeback with a special one-shot. And guess what? You won’t have to wait long because it’s hitting the pages of V-Jump Issue #4 on February 20, 2025!
What’s This One-Shot All About?
First off, let’s talk about what exactly this one-shot entails. For those of you who might be new to the manga world, a one-shot is a standalone story, meaning it’s complete in just one chapter. This particular one-shot will focus on none other than Goten and Trunks, along with their superhero counterpart, Clean God.
This isn’t just any ordinary tale; it’s a fresh adventure where we get to see these characters in action, possibly exploring new dynamics or even revisiting some of the fun, high-energy antics we love from our favorite Saiyan duo. Posts on X have been buzzing about this, showing a mix of excitement and curiosity about what Toyotaro has in store for us.
Toyotaro’s Artistic Touch
Now, let’s dive into the creative genius behind this one-shot – Toyotaro. Known for his incredible artwork that captures the essence of Akira Toriyama’s original designs, Toyotaro has been the driving force behind “Dragon Ball Super” since its manga inception. His work has not only kept the spirit of Dragon Ball alive but has also introduced new fans to the saga with his unique storytelling and character development.
Toyotaro’s illustrations are a true highlight, often blending classic Dragon Ball aesthetics with his modern touch. His portrayal of characters like Goten and Trunks in their superhero roles has been a fan favorite, adding layers to their personalities that fans didn’t know they needed.
For many of us, “Dragon Ball Super” isn’t just a manga; it’s a piece of our childhood, our teenage years, or even our adulthood. The anticipation for this one-shot is palpable, not just because it means more content from our beloved universe, but also because it marks a significant moment for the franchise post-Akira Toriyama’s passing. This one-shot could be a beacon of what’s to come, showing Toyotaro’s vision for Dragon Ball moving forward.
A Glimpse into the Future?
While this one-shot is a standalone story, there’s always that underlying question – could this be a teaser for more? The Dragon Ball community has been on a rollercoaster with news of hiatuses and potential returns. This one-shot might just be Toyotaro’s way of testing the waters, seeing how fans react, and perhaps hinting at a full-fledged return of “Dragon Ball Super” in some form or another.
With the manga community’s eyes fixed on V-Jump, this could also reignite discussions about the future of Dragon Ball in other media like anime or games. The recent Dragon Ball Super Divers game has already shown that the franchise is far from done evolving.

And let’s not forget, the anticipation is not just about the story but also about seeing Toyotaro’s artwork in full glory, possibly revealing new forms, new fights, and new friendships.
This one-shot could be more than just an additional chapter in the Dragon Ball saga; it might just be the spark needed to keep the legacy of Dragon Ball Super burning bright.
