Hello everyone! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

This time! There was an intriguing announcement, so I'm checking out the event! Maybe in January...... some incredible big news might be announced~?

So, what exactly is happening is that Dragon Ball is currently holding various events through different media to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and the grand finale, an ultra-large-scale real event called the Genki Dama Festival, has been decided to be held on January 25, 2026!

This event will be held in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, and the venue will feature booths for various 'Dragon Ball' content, including the latest information on various titles such as console games, app games, and card games, making it a dream-like...... no, an overly luxurious event! What's especially noteworthy is the special stage where voice actors and staff members will appear and hold a talk show, and it was announced that they will reveal future new developments for Dragon Ball there! This is exciting~!

Personally, I think it will be either a new anime series or a new theatrical movie...... Considering that it's the 40th anniversary milestone, the anime version was last broadcast until February of this year, and the last theatrical movie was shown in 2022...... I think the one more likely to start up again would be a theatrical movie! Of course, a new anime series is also entirely possible since a year has passed...... and there's also the possibility of a completely new project that is neither of those! What kind of new information do you all think will be announced? Please do check out the Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary Event in January 2026!
