Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 is officially out, confirming what fans have feared the most. The manga by the late Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou is back in publication after almost a year, but not for long.

On Feb. 19, 2025, Viz Media and Manga Plus made Dragon Ball Super Chapter 104 available for North American readers to read on their respective digital platforms. Chapter 104, "The Birth of Saiyaman X," reveals how Goten and Trunks became inspired to become superheroes like Gohan and his superhero persona, the Great Saiyaman. While fans are excited by the return of Dragon Ball Super, the latest release also contains disappointing news on its final page.

Big news, Dead Boy Detectives fans! While the ‘Sandman Universe’ show may not be returning for a second season, star Jayden Revri (Charles Rowland) is confirmed to appear in the final season of The Sandman, coming later this year!

In January, Netflix confirmed that The Sandman season 2 would be the end of the road for the fantasy series. We pretty much knew the show’s fate anyway, given that leaks from the set for the upcoming season showed that the team was filming scenes from the end of the comics. Hearing that the show was ending, while disappointing, wasn’t much of a surprise. The final season is confirmed to be released in 2025.

So far, we know that The Sandman season 2 will cover some of the comic’s most revered stories, including the ‘Season of Mists’ and ‘Brief Lives’ story arcs. It’ll also tell numerous beloved one-shot tales,...

Solo Leveling has achieved a lofty status and a massive following within anime and isekai fandoms. Season 2 premieres on Crunchyroll on January 4, 2025, with the first two episodes debuting in the Solo Leveling – ReAwakening film, building excitement for the sequel.

Despite its controversial debut, Season 1 lived up to fans’ expectations, captivating several fans to the series. Solo Leveling has continued to reign as a top-tier manhwa and its anime adaptation is already dominating the internet buzz.

Season 2 will pick up where Season 1 ended, beginning with Jinwoo’s journey into the Red Dungeon, where his overwhelming strength draws the attention of elite hunters.

Amid the buzz surrounding the highly anticipated Jeju Island arc, which the production studio has been prioritizing and foreshadowing since Episode 1; here are five top-tier Solo Leveling arcs that outshine it, setting the bar even higher for what’s to come.

DC has an interesting slate of movies and shows coming in 2025 to kick off a new period for the franchise!

2024 was, in many ways, the end of an era for DC Comics. The Dceu, with its tortured history, ended with the year prior with Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom sinking fast, so there weren't any new films from that franchise this year. The CW's Arroweverse also closed out after 12 years with Superman and Lois, while their animated film universe also ended with the Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy.

It's a new day for DC Comics on TV and film, with James Gunn and Peter Safran crafting a new DC Universe. There have been shifts as The Batman II is now delayed until 2026, and other projects are in the works. So DC's 2025 slate isn't as huge as Marvel's, but there are new notable entries coming, so here's a calendar of...

Humor has always been a crucial aspect of the Dragon Ball series, Akira Toriyama often inserted comedic gags through various characters. The Kais were strong but a significant source of light-heartedness in the series, especially King Kai, who showcased his strength and antics throughout the original series.

However, Toriyama gave him a car which really complemented his overall style but felt useless, given his situation. Even after all these years, fans question the purpose of King Kai’s car. But, it highlights the brilliance of the mangaka in one aspect that he always enjoyed.

King Kai’s Car Was Probably Just A Gag

Not just King Kai, but many characters in the series owned cars, and what often made fans question King Kai’s car specifically was its uselessness. In King Kai’s case, he even mentioned that he enjoyed driving.

By this point, Dragon Ball Super is almost as beloved as its predecessor series, and it had a long and successful run as an anime. However, Dragon Ball Super might never have existed if it weren't for the addition of two new characters in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods: Beerus and Whis.

Beerus and Whis were introduced for the movie, intending to give Goku an opponent who was literally on a divine level to match the new power he'd received. Beerus and Whis had some input from Toriyama as they were being created, turning God of Destruction Beerus from a truly evil figure into one that could be reasoned with, and who destroys mostly because it is his responsibility to do so. Toriyama seems to have been intrigued by Beerus and Whis conceptually from the start.

Given the major role that the pair occupy throughout Dragon Ball Super,...

Netflix has revealed a slew of cast members who've joined The Sandman for its second season. Among them is a new villainous role for Jack Gleeson, who memorably played the dastardly King Joffrey in HBO's Game of Thrones.

Other Season 2 newcomers include Ann Skelly (The Nevers), Clive Russell (Game of Thrones), Douglas Booth (Jupiter Ascending), Freddie Fox (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), Indya Moore (Moon Girl and Devi Dinosaur), Laurence O'Fuarain (The Witcher: Blood Origin), Ruairi O'Connor (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), and Steve Coogan (Despicable Me franchise).

Dragon Ball characters, be they protagonists or antagonists, are known to be some of the strongest characters in the anime and manga universe. One such character is Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7. Although he is now a supporting character in Dragon Ball Super, he was introduced as one of the strongest villains Akira Toriyama’s universe has ever seen.

The Dragon Ball universe

There are very few characters in the anime and manga world who can be compared to the extremely dangerous strength of the God of Destruction. Even the likes of Goku and Vegeta together could not defeat the character. However, Jujutsu Kaisen fans have recently made a claim that might not be liked by Dragon Ball fans.

Fans of Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen shared a post on X(Formerly Twitter) that pointed out that the antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna, might be stronger than Beerus.

Filming for The Sandman season two is set to resume on November 27, marking a significant development after a production pause in June 2023. Netflix is referring to the new installment as an expansion or a collection of additional episodes rather than 'Season 2,' suggesting a potential shift in the show's structure with potentially fewer episodes. The upcoming season will continue to adapt Neil Gaiman's comic volumes and introduce new characters, expanding the richly layered universe and promising a blend of genres, including Greek tragedy and cyberpunk.

The Sandman, Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's work, distinguishes itself in the dynamic world of television with its exceptional fusion of fantasy and drama. Following its first season's success and widespread praise, the series has sparked intense anticipation and speculation about its forthcoming chapters. The much-awaited update regarding season two has been unveiled by Neil Gaiman himself, offering fans a taste of the show's captivating future.

The Sandman was renewed for additional episodes in November 2022, with production subsequently beginning in June 2023. Filming then shut down in July with the onset of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Creator Neil Gaiman now confirms that filming on season 2 is scheduled to start back up against on Monday, November 27. The Sandman season 2, which is not being referred to as such by Netflix, will likely feature a reduced episode count and will explore a host of new genres, including Greek tragedy, cyberpunk, and contemporary drama.

The Sandman season 2's filming start date gets a concrete update from creator Neil Gaiman. Based on Gaiman's hit comic series, Netflix's The Sandman released its season 1 last August, chronicling the exploits of Tom Sturridge's Dream of the Endless as he attempts to bring order to his realm after decades of imprisonment. The show, which earned positive reviews from critics, was renewed for season 2 in November...

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Extended Edition provides a deeper backstory for Beerus and Whis, making them more complex and fascinating characters. The extended edition of Battle of Gods allows for more humor and playful moments, showcasing Dragon Ball's comedic roots alongside its action-packed sequences. The extended cut of the film celebrates and includes more of Dragon Ball's supporting players, giving them a chance to shine and adding depth to the movie's overall narrative.

Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball is subject to many important milestones and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods was a pivotal turning point for the franchise. Originally released in 2013, Battle of Gods was the first Dragon Ball movie in over a decade and the precursor for the franchise’s latest installment, Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball would not be where it is today without the impressive foundation that Battle of Gods lays out for the franchise’s future.

Though the brother of The Sandman's Dream abdicated his role in the Endless, there's a solid chance that he may one day return. Destruction abandoned his duties, but why did he do that, and what may ultimately bring him back?

While Morpheus is the Lord of Dreams, he is but one of seven siblings that make up the family of abstract concepts known as the Endless. The Endless are the oldest beings in existence and represent a number of principles in the world such as desire, despair and even delirium. While the family plays a large role in The Sandman, one member is shown having relieved himself of his duties and begun living a quiet life in retirement. Dream's younger brother Destruction is the living embodiment of both destruction and creation. But centuries before Dream found himself imprisoned by the mortals of Earth, Destruction was the first Endless to stop in his work.

On the heels of being picked up for more chapters, Neil Gaiman teases that The Sandman's new episodes could feature Delirium. Based on Gaiman's comics of the same name, the fantasy drama series centers on Tom Sturridge's titular character as he escapes a century-long confinement and embarks on a journey to restore his Kingdom of the Dreaming and put a stop to a rogue nightmare wreaking havoc on the living. Developed by Gaiman, David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg, The Sandman has scored widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike for its faithfulness to the comics, the performances from its cast, and its ambitious worldbuilding and production values.

One fan recently took to Tumblr to ask Neil Gaiman for any casting updates on The Sandman's new episodes following the show's renewal announcement. Though debunking such, as the order was only just confirmed, he did tease his excitement to...
