The fifth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga's new SUPER HERO arc is being published in the super-sized June edition of V Jump that's hitting shelves in Japan on Friday, April 21!!
The story from the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO film kicked off in last month's chapter, so let's take a look back at what's happened so far 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, causing its owner, the devious Dr. Hedo, to send his Android creations after the two half-Saiyan heroes to get it back!
After a series of battles, Trunks, Goten, and Krillin storm into Dr.Hedo's hideout to take on the portly prodigy in a head-on clash! The three heroes even manage to destroy the deadly Dino-Droid #1, and with his creations defeated, Dr. Hedo is placed under arrest.
The story then takes a break from thrilling battles against Android assailants and whisks us off to an idyllic-looking kindergarten. And who should appear next but Piccolo, who has come to pick up Pan from school at the request of Gohan and Videl.
When Piccolo learns that Pan idolizes Goten and Trunks' superhero escapades, he offers to train her in the basics of combat. Overjoyed, Pan jumps at the invitation!
Meanwhile, the Red Ribbon Army is on the move! Magenta, the president of the Red Ribbon Army front "Red Pharmaceuticals", is busy strategizing with his close associate Carmine. They plan to contact Dr. Hedo and arrange for his release from prison so they can use his abilities to rebuild the Red Ribbon Army!
We then jump to three months later, and Dr. Hedo has just been released from jail. Magenta wastes no time in trying to convince the doctor to join their cause, but Officer Krillin is hot on the trail of these suspicious characters in an attempt to locate the Red Ribbon Army HQ! While listening to Magenta's offer, Dr. Hedo realizes that their car is being followed and unleashes his cyborg agent Hachimaru to battle Krillin! Krillin dodges Hachimaru's toxic stinger attacks and seems to have won the clash when the insectoid unleashes a powerful tackle that puts an end to the policeman's chase.
Six months pass, and Piccolo has continued to teach Pan how to fight. Videl calls on Piccolo to go pick up Pan from kindergarten yet again, which understandably annoys the Namekian. It seems that Gohan is too busy with his research to go pick up his daughter from school, which further irritates Piccolo to the extent that he storms off to confront Gohan about it. He tells Gohan to get his act together and stop slacking in his training while he's at it, as there's no telling when a new threat will raise its ugly head.
Since there's still time before he has to go pick up Pan, Piccolo returns to his training. Out of nowhere Piccolo is suddenly attacked by an unknown visitor with a retro look to him who insists on calling him by the name "Great Demon King Piccolo". This assailant refuses to identify himself, but close inspection shows that there's a Red Ribbon Army mark on the shoulder of his uniform!
Just who could this unknown assailant be?! And what will happen next in this high-speed battle?
