These include Super Saiyan Vegeta fighting against Cell, Gohan going Super Saiyan 2, and Goku sending Gohan his power from beyond the grave. With better pacing and modern animation, DBZ arcs can be repackaged successfully for a new generation of fans to enjoy.Fans on Twitter, however, aren't very optimistic about the prospect of getting a series remake. Seeing how Toei Animation still hasn't announced a new Dragon Ball anime series, fans have become less than optimistic about the studio's commitment to the franchise and its fans.Fans have taken to Twitter to share their emotions after hearing about Kubota's interest in working on a remake.ㄴCollinㄱ@Infinite_Aero@DBSChronicles @nimation Me knowing toei will do absolutely nothing with this great piece of Information.76419@DBSChronicles @nimation Me knowing toei will do absolutely nothing with this great piece of Information. https://t.co/raLPsJ9HfZR.I.P Long Live L'A@lilskrappa365@DBSChronicles @nimation That might be kinda lit tho The animation we should have gotten for Dragon Ball Z Kai I wouldn’t mind that while waiting for the adaptation of the last 2 super arcs2@DBSChronicles @nimation That might be kinda lit tho The animation we should have gotten for Dragon Ball Z Kai I wouldn’t mind that while waiting for the adaptation of the last 2 super arcsBrian Rodriguez@Codeninja676@DBSChronicles @nimation I would love a well done remake that follows the manga 100% and cuts out every single piece of unnecessary standing around shouting and charging while looking like either the DBS Superhero movie or the DBS Broly movie.@DBSChronicles @nimation I would love a well done remake that follows the manga 100% and cuts out every single piece of unnecessary standing around shouting and charging while looking like either the DBS Superhero movie or the DBS Broly movie.😎@give0fuks@DBSChronicles @nimation Finish dbs and reanimate from db-dbs69@DBSChronicles @nimation Finish dbs and reanimate from db-dbsBruHEEZ@BruHEEZ@DBSChronicles @nimation That’s cool with me.

Thus, it will be interesting to see if Kubota manages to convince Toei Animation to go through with his idea of a grand remake featuring iconic characters and arcs.News about Dragon Ball Super season 2Fan made cover art featuring Goku and Vegeta (Image via Twitter)As of yet, there has been no announcement of an official release date, however, there is heavy speculation that the anime will have a late 2023 release. Toei Animation released DBS: Super Hero in 2022 but there was no confirmation on their part about the release of new episodes following the movie.Thus, fans might have to sit tight for confirmation regarding season 2 of the series. While many believe season 2 is in the production pipeline, the silence from Toei does not bode well with a lot of fans. It will be interesting to see what is next for the franchise and whether Toei goes with Kubota's idea of a remake or releases season 2 of Dragon Ball Super.
