Dragon Ball Super may seem like it's at the height of action in suspense as the last minutes of the Tournament of Power play out, but the hard truth is that the series is heading for its ending faster than most fans are prepared for. There no better evidence of the actual reality that's quickly approaching, than the farewell departures from the Dragon Ball Super cast and crew, who have been steadily wrapping their work on the series, as the final episodes roll out. Case in point:

Dragon Ball Super writer Toshio has long been one of the most visible crew members on social media, making this a particularly poignant goodbye from someone fans have long enjoyed interacting with.

What's also noticeable is that Toshio, like other departing members of the team, doesn't really drop any overtly positive teases of a new Dragon Ball series coming anytime soon. It's a genuine goodbye, and the "until we meet again" is so open-ended, it's hard to gauge anything about the behind-the-scenes plans, at this point.

At the moment, the Tournament of Power is down to the main event: Goku battling Jiren. Goku is unlocking the mastered form of Ultra Instinct, leading to a battle of power and speed the likes of which Dragon Ball has never seen. That's an exciting climax from the looks of it (see the video above), which will make for a much harder fall, when the series goes from one of the biggest and best fights ever, to the series ending.

Dragon Ball Super's "Universal Survival" arc is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturday evenings at 7:15 p.m. CST. Adult Swim airs the English dub during its Toonami block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m, and is now available to stream on FunimationNOW and Amazon Video.
