The third chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga's new SUPER HERO arc is being published in the super-sized April edition of V Jump that's hitting shelves in Japan on Tuesday, February 21!!
Before you dive into the latest developments in the new story, let's catch up on what's happened so far!
Goten and Trunks have taken to leading double lives—one as regular school students, and another as the superheroes known as Saiyaman X1 and X2, who protect the peace of their city just like their favorite video game hero!
One day, the pair sets out to solve the case of haywire helper-bots in order to clear the path for Trunks to take Mai out on a date. They manage to take down the culprits and save the day, but they also stumble upon a mysterious disk at the scene of the crime that they take home for further investigation.
A few days later, Mai starts attending Blue Hal Highschool together with Trunks and Goten.
But Mai isn't the only new student at school—an Android created by Dr. Hedo named Beta No. 1 also transfers into their class!
Beta No. 1 is on a mission to locate the superpowered warrior who stole the disk from their hideout, and he's got his eyes zoomed in on Trunks after spotting some suspicious behavior. He tries to bait his target into revealing his true power but is foiled at every turn by Trunk's quick thinking.
After school while setting another trap for Trunks, Beta No. 1 instead spots Goten using his super strength to lift up a truck and attacks him! Goten is on the ropes, unable to fight seriously at school for risk of revealing his identity, but luckily Trunks arrives on the scene as Saiyaman X1 just in time!
Faced with the sudden threat of Saiyaman X1, Beta No. 1 breaks out Beta No. 2—an autonomous battle jacket Android with loads of firepower! Mai gets knocked over during the ensuing battle, allowing Beta No. 1 to see that she'd been carrying the disk around in her schoolbag the whole time!
He immediately grabs her to take her back to the hideout and leaves the battle against Saiyaman X1 to Beta No. 2.
But just when it looks like Beta No. 1 is going to get away with Mai and the disk, Goten enters the fray as Saiyaman X2 and engages with Beta No. 2!
Now free to unleash his full power, Trunks shoots down the fleeing Beta No. 1 and saves Mai in a dashing display of heroic gallantry!
When Mai is saved by Saiyaman X1, she remembers her feelings for Future Trunks and starts to feel the same way about the mysterious superhero...much to the dismay of young Trunks.
As much as he'd like to tell Mai that the dreamy superhero who saved her life was him, he can't risk revealing his true identity!
So although he saved the day, it doesn't feel like much of a win for poor Trunks...
In the next chapter set to be released in V Jump's super-sized April edition on February 21, Trunks and Goten clash with yet another of Dr. Hedo's Android creations!
Don't miss it!
