Akira Toriyama's work remains in active circulation through reworked Dragon Ball anime and a broad streaming footprint. His induction into the Eisner Hall of Fame came at San Diego Comic-Con 2026.
Akira Toriyama's standing in the coverage rests on two fronts: the continued rollout of Dragon Ball animation and recognition from the Eisner Awards. Dragon Ball Daima, described as a new TV anime from Toriyama, was available on DMM TV, U-NEXT, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, d Anime Store, Lemino, and TSUTAYA DISCAS as of a May 27 streaming guide. DMM TV was singled out for its low price and free trial. The guide noted the series is not on Disney Plus.
Separately, Toei Animation's Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, a reconstructed version of the original Dragon Ball Super anime, begins airing on Fuji TV and affiliates on October 11 at 11:15 p.m. JST, taking the timeslot previously held by One Piece. Crunchyroll streams it with subtitles from October 11 in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, simulcasting weekly with the Japanese broadcast. Netflix follows on October 14 in selected countries and October 17 in the United States, and Amazon Prime Video and U-NEXT stream in Japan 30 minutes after broadcast. The staff includes composition and direction arrangement by Matsuto Seya and character design by Tadayoshi Yamamuro, with Koichi Yamadera returning as Beerus.
The Eisner Hall of Fame induction arrived at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, where Toriyama was one of 16 nominees and was selected alongside Chris Ware, Colleen Doran, and Jeff Smith. Go Nagai was also inducted as a pre-selected Judges Choice honoree. A June merchandise line tied to the DELICIOUS Restaurant from the Dragon Ball anime put nine types of kitchen goods and accessories on sale June 19 at Jump Shop locations and online, including melamine fried rice plates, Chinese spoons, can-shaped glasses, hand towels, clear pouches, and acrylic keychains featuring Goku, Bulma, and Shenlong.
