The "Dragon Ball" universe is on the verge of a pause as the manga series "Dragon Ball Super" is set to go on an indefinite hiatus. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, were buzzing with surprise and speculation when major "Dragon Ball" news sources announced that Chapter 104 of "Dragon Ball Super" would not appear in the next issue of V Jump magazine.

This announcement has left fans of the franchise in a state of uncertainty. What could be the reason behind this sudden break? Is it a temporary pause, or does V Jump plan to suspend the series for an indefinite period? These questions linger unanswered, leaving the "Dragon Ball" community in suspense.

One of the main questions on everyone's mind is whether this hiatus is connected in any way to the recent passing of Akira Toriyama, the creative mastermind behind "Dragon Ball." Toriyama not only crafted the universe in which the series is set but also closely oversaw the development of the manga. His absence has left a void in the hearts of fans and in the manga industry as a whole, leading many to speculate if his departure has affected the production of "Dragon Ball Super."

Furthermore, Toyotarou, the talented illustrator of "Dragon Ball Super," took to Twitter to share a heartfelt message expressing his admiration for Toriyama and the impact the legendary creator had on his career. Amidst the uncertainty, fans hope for the return of "Dragon Ball Super" manga soon, eager to continue experiencing its thrilling adventures and epic battles.
