When does the second season begin to air?

There are absolutely no financial issues involved in producing a second season of Dragon Ball Super.
However, on the other hand, there is no guarantee that the second season will be 100% produced.
This is because there is no chance that it will proceed solely with the theatrical version in the future.
Dragon Ball Z: God and God, released in 2013, grossed 2.99 billion yen at the domestic box office and worldwide. It grossed 5.4 billion yen at the box office.
Dragon Ball released a theatrical version of the series every year at the time of its serialization, but I didn’t expect it to be a surprisingly large box office draw. Unable to say, this 2.99 billion figure was a personal best, as it hovered around 1.5 billion yen.
The 2015 release of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of “F” further increased the numbers, earning 3.74 billion yen domestically and 8 billion yen worldwide. 3.74 billion yen in Japan and 8 billion yen worldwide.
Dragon Ball Super Brolly, released in 2018, did very well, earning 4 billion yen in Japan and 13.5 billion yen worldwide.
Nowadays, Dragon Ball has become Japan’s premier content in the field of movies.
With such a strong showing, it’s likely that more movies will be made in the future.
In that case, it’s not clear whether they will continue with the TV series alongside it or focus on movies.
Unlike the early days when the series was just restarted, Dragon Ball is now fully known as a working content rather than a work of the past, and it would not be surprising if the decision was made that the movie alone would be enough to get by without going to the trouble of making a long-term TV series.
Nevertheless, Doraemon, Conan, and other works that are considered to be national class cartoons continue to be TV series regardless of how well the movies are doing and regardless of the ratings and disc numbers.
The odds are much higher for a TV series and a movie version to be made at the same time.
Now, if a second season is made, let’s take a guess as to when it will air.
The first season was a long one, airing a total of 131 episodes over a period of three years and eight months.
If a second season is produced, it’s unlikely it will last more than one or two years, at least two years.
They would have to re-edit “Broly” as a TV series, and that would be about 10-20 episodes.
The subsequent episodes, “The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc” started in volume 9 of the manga version and is not completed even in the latest volume, volume 12, and is likely to surpass the future Trunks Arc (30 episodes of the anime) in terms of volume.
Therefore, in order to digest at least 30 episodes, we’re in a position to have a year’s worth of stock in these two episodes.
Therefore, if the production style is to come up with the story for the second year while the first year is airing… we are in a situation where we can start within 2020.
However, in the 9:00am slot on Fuji TV Sunday morning, where the first season aired, starting in April 2020, Digimon Adventure:” has just started, and the anime will probably be on the air for a year. As it is expected, it is presumed to start airing in April 2021 at the earliest.
summary
Dragon Ball is now a huge industry and I don’t think it’s going to slow down anymore.
The one question is whether they will continue the TV series or just develop it in a theatrical version.
I’d love to see it continue in both TV and film if possible!
