The fourth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga's new SUPER HERO arc is being published in the super-sized May edition of V Jump that's hitting shelves in Japan on Monday, March 20!!
Before you dive into the latest developments in the new story, let's catch up on what's happened so far with Trunks and Goten in the SUPER HERO arc!
Inspired by their favorite superhero, Trunks and Goten decide to become superheroes themselves, Saiyaman X1 and X2, while also living their lives as high school students.
After solving one of their cases, Trunks comes into possession of a mysterious disk, drawing the attention of its owner, Dr. Hedo, who orders his Android creations after them in a series of attempts to get it back!
However, Trunks and Goten manage to easily fend off the first of the Android assailants with some impressive teamwork.
In the passing days while our young heroes battle against various mechanized villains, it comes about that a dance party is going to be held at their high school.
Not only that, but the inspiration behind Trunks and Gohan's superhero escapades, Clean God, is going to be there too!
Trunks especially was floating on air, having been invited by Mai to attend together.
We soon find out that Dr. Hedo is a major Clean God fan too, and that he's come up with a plan to get himself into the dance!
However, it turns out that Mai knew about Dr. Hedo all along, and that she only invited Trunks to the dance as a cover to lure Hedo out in order to capture him!
On the day of the dance, Trunks and Dr. Hedo find themselves standing side-by-side in the front row to see Clean God.
Neither knowing the true identity of the other, the two hit it off, nerding out about their idol while waiting for the show to start.
Mai, on the other hand, is making preparations to capture Hedo.
Soon, Officer Krillin turns up with the police to apprehend him, but he manages to get away by using a smoke screen!
Mai gets caught in the blast, and Trunks rushes off to pursue Dr. Hedo!
He and Goten catch up with Krillin, who explains that the police have been following Hedo's case for some time and that there are even bigger things at play with a certain organization working in the shadows: the Red Ribbon Army!
In truth, the wicked military force that not even the police could stop had returned and was seeking to use the genius of Dr. Hedo to advance their plans!
In the face of this enormous and sudden new threat, Trunks and Goten are...overjoyed!
This is just the chance they've been waiting for to be real superheroes!
The three then continue to give chase and eventually arrive at Dr. Hedo's hideout.
However, Dr. Hedo finds out that they're coming and activates a colossal dinosaur Android called Dino-Droid #1 to greet them!
Dino-Droid #1 is optimized for pure power, meaning it's the perfect Android to stop the superpowered duo in their tracks.
Soon, Trunks and Goten find themselves struggling to get the upper hand against their monstrous opponent...
Luckily for them, Krillin keeps a cool head and manages to throw a Kienzan through Dino-Droid #1's weak spot to lock up its movement, giving Trunks and Goten the opening they need to launch a powerful combo attack and smash right through it!
With Dino-Droid #1 defeated by the heroes, Dr. Hedo has nowhere left to run and is placed under arrest.
However, it seems like Dr. Hedo isn't ready to give up on creating the world's most powerful Android quite yet...!!
In V Jump's super-sized May edition that's hitting shelves in Japan on March 20, Trunks and Goten's story ends while Piccolo and Gohan's begins!
The events of the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie are finally set into motion!
