Akira Toriyama, a highly important and internationally successful manga author, passed away on March 1, 2024. He was 68. A statement from Toriyama’s production business Bird Studio stated that he passed away on March 1 due to a blood clot in his brain. It stated that just his family and a few other relatives had attended the funeral service.
The most well-known contribution of the Japanese writer is the widely read Dragon Ball manga series, which has a global readership and inspired numerous anime series, computer games, and motion pictures.
Will Dragon Ball Continue After Akira’s Death?
As of now, we don’t know the chances of the Dragon Ball Super manga continuity. Akira Toriyama, the celebrated creator behind the Dragon Ball Super manga, was primarily recognized for his contributions to the “original story and character concepts” of the series, especially noted during the announcement of the anime adaptation.
Given the sudden nature of Akira Toriyama’s passing, it is improbable that he had meticulously mapped out future chapters. Toriyama’s cause of death was an acute subdural hematoma, a critical condition where a blood clot forms between the brain and its outermost covering. This is typically the result of veins on the brain’s surface stretching and tearing, usually due to a head injury.

It’s plausible that an unexpected head injury was the cause of Toriyama’s untimely passing. If the injury was accidental, Toriyama hadn’t prepared Toyotarou with plans for the continuation of the series.

Despite this, Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103 is scheduled for release on Thursday, March 21, 2024, and is expected to be published without delay. Nonetheless, there’s a possibility that Shueisha may decide to put the series on an indefinite hiatus following this release to strategize on how to proceed with the manga’s future.
