Every Dragon Ball Super Arc Yet to be Animated, Ranked In Order

Dragon Ball Super’s animated future is finally clearer than it has been in years. The official Dragon Ball website has announced Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, a new anime continuation tied to the manga’s Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, is officially set for TV production. This was also confirmed by Toei Animation via their website.

At the same time, Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO already exists as a 2022 theatrical film, and the manga later expanded that era with a prequel and full story version. That leaves the Granolah material and the High School prequel as the biggest Dragon Ball Super stories still waiting for a full TV anime adaptation. 

To understand where the franchise is heading next, here is a look at every Dragon Ball Super manga arc yet to be fully animated into a television series, ranked by narrative significance and timeline order.

1 Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga (Moro Arc)

Status: Officially Set for TV Production

Spanning chapters 42 to 67 of the manga, the Moro Arc is the most critical unanimated storyline, set after the events of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. It centers on Moro, an ancient, magic-wielding “Planet-Eater” who escapes a Galactic Patrol maximum-security prison to drain the life force of New Namek and Earth.

This arc delivers intense character depth, highlighting Majin Buu’s ancient lore, Vegeta’s specialized training on Planet Yardrat to learn Forced Spirit Fission, and Goku mastering Perfected Ultra Instinct. It has some of the coolest battles and strategic combat. It remains the most anticipated manga arc for a future Dragon Ball Super anime continuation.

2 Granolah the Survivor Saga

Status: Not Adapted

Directly following the Moro storyline from chapters 67 to 87, this arc introduces Granolah, the sole survivor of the Cerealian race wiped out by Saiyans decades ago. Seeking vengeance against Frieza, Granolah uses his planet’s unique Dragon Balls to become the universe’s strongest warrior, at the cost of his lifespan.

The high stakes escalate as the villainous Heeters group manipulates the conflict. This arc is a fan favorite due to its heavy lore and spectacular power expansions, debuting Vegeta’s iconic God of Destruction form, Ultra Ego, Goku’s tailored True Ultra Instinct, and the terrifying debut of Black Frieza.

3 High School Saga (Super Hero Prequel Arc)

Status: Not Adapted

Ranked last due to its lower narrative stakes and slice-of-life tone, this brief three-chapter micro-arc (chapters 88 to 90) serves as a direct prequel to the Super Hero storyline. It pivots away from cosmic battles to focus on teenage Goten and Trunks as they balance high school life with vigilante superhero identities, operating as Saiyaman X-1 and X-2.

The arc provides lighter entertainment, fleshing out Dr. Hedo’s early zombie-android experiments before his recruitment by the Red Ribbon Army. The official Dragon Ball site described this as a prequel to the Super Hero arc, which makes it an important setup piece rather than a standalone blockbuster arc. It has not been adapted as a separate TV story yet, but it matters because it explains how the “Super Hero era” begins.

4 Super Hero Saga

Status: Partially Adapted (Feature Film Only)

Covering chapters 91 to 104, this arc was adapted globally into the 2022 theatrical hit movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, but it has never aired as a traditional weekly TV anime arc. The story focuses on Earth while Goku and Vegeta train off-world, pushing Gohan and Piccolo into the spotlight against a revived Red Ribbon Army and the monstrous Cell Max.

While the film provided a stunning 3D-CGI presentation, the manga expansion adds exclusive context, extended fights, and crucial character dialogue, making a full television adaptation highly requested among fans who want expanded character moments and additional story detail.

Here is the summary table:

Arc Name	Manga Chapters	Television / Movie Status	Narrative Rank
Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga	Chapters 42–67	Set for TV Production (Announced 2026)	1
Granolah the Survivor Saga	Chapters 67–87	Completely Unadapted	2
High School Saga (Prequel)	Chapters 88–90	Completely Unadapted	3
Super Hero Saga	Chapters 91–104	Partially Adapted (2022 Film Only)	4

As Toei Animation moves ahead with its production pipeline in 2026, the chronological adaptation of these manga arcs will define the next decade of the franchise. While the immediate focus remains on launching the highly anticipated Galactic Patrol storyline on television, the depth of the subsequent material ensures that a wealth of content remains available for adaptation.

For global fans, the transition of these stories from the printed page to the animated screen marks a vibrant, deeply informed new chapter for the enduring Dragon Ball legacy.
