They'll pick it back up when there's enough distance from the manga. Probably

Anime season either ends or goes into full blown filler so the manga can be ahead. Happens all the time.

The anime ended the tournament arc before the manga did, IIRC. They're just waiting for enough new material for a new season rather than the old method of endless filler to kill time.

Toriyama didnt write anything after the ToP so Toei had nothing to adapt. Toyotaro came up with the Moro arc and Toriyama approved.

Nothing is super is filler. The super manga was originally adapted from the show not the show from the manga like in most cases.

I think he meant as opposed to the filler in DBZ.

I am pretty sure they are working on another movie, that's why it originally stopped after the Tournament of Power, because Broly was being made. We haven't had much news though, maybe because of COVID?

What I mean is that older anime, particular long running shonen shows like Naruto or Bleach, used a model of airing episodes year round and relying on filler arcs when necessary to give the manga time to get ahead. DBS uses the newer model that other shows (My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, etc) use of only animating what's canon and then taking a break to wait for new material to be made.

So Super "ended" because it ran out of material. They could have easily just started making actual filler arcs to keep the show going while the Moro arc was being written, but they chose to stop instead.

People have already mentioned the reasons, but he's a more concise summary.

Unlike most anime and manga, one is not adapted from the other. Toei animation and Toyotaro are both given some character designs and an outline of the major plot points from Toriyama, then they independently fill it out. For this reason, they're actually quite different from each other.

The anime moved more quickly, so the comparable material actually came out in the anime first. When the the Tournament of Power was finished, they decided to take a break and make a movie instead. That's why it concluded, and it's also why the Broly movie was so well animated. They had the whole team working on it and had a good budget.

The manga finished the ToP arc after the movie was out. Toriyama decided on a new new arc, but this time Toyotaro has more creative freedom. They were working together, so Toriyama can guide him better and hand over the reigns a little more. They've finally finished the arc after Broly, and the next one has started.

The super anime has been heavily teased to return at some point. For whatever reason, Toei hasn't dived into the project yet. Perhaps they're waiting for more material to adapt. It's easier to adapt material than to create it.

Anime was rushed and since it was ahead of the manga there was quite a bit missed in the anime. We got the Broly movie, that's enough. Super only made it past 1 arc so far and it was a long one. It needs to get past 2-3 more before the anime should even start again.

The anime wasn't rushed. They're not connected.

I'm guessing it will take the season approach the way One Punch Man, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia have.

No it wasnt. Toriyama wrote a bear bones script and gave it Toei and Toyotaro and told them to fill in the gaps.
