Quick Scoop: When did Dragon Ball Super end?

For most fans asking “when did Dragon Ball Super end” , they’re referring to the end of the TV anime run, not the later manga hiatuses or spin‑offs.

  • The Dragon Ball Super anime aired from 2015 to 2018.
  • It wrapped up with episode 131, which closed out the Universe Survival (Tournament of Power) arc.
  • The final broadcast date in Japan was March 25, 2018.

Fuji TV listed no immediate plans for a continuation of the same TV series format after that finale, which is why it’s commonly treated as the “end” of Dragon Ball Super as an anime, even though the broader Dragon Ball franchise continued through movies, new series, and manga content.

A bit of story-style context

Think of it like this: after years of escalating battles, Goku and the others stake their universe’s existence on the Tournament of Power. When the final episode aired in March 2018, the story closed on a hopeful note rather than a hard “this is the last Dragon Ball ever” ending: universes restored, characters back home, and Goku and Vegeta walking off to keep training and fighting, hinting that their journey never truly stops.

Even though the anime stopped there, later arcs continued in manga form, and other Dragon Ball projects kept the universe alive, which is why you’ll still see ongoing “latest news” and “trending topic” discussions about whether Dragon Ball Super will ever return in a new form.
