The sixth chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga's new SUPER HERO arc is being published in the super-sized July edition of V Jump that's hitting shelves in Japan on Friday, May 19!!
The events of the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO movie are now unfolding in the manga! On that note, 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 belonging to Dr. Hedo, which draws our half-Saiyan heroes into a battle with the devious doctor and his Android creations.
After a series of fierce battles, Trunks and his allies manage to defeat Dr. Hedo and have him placed under arrest.
The story then whisks us off to catch up with Piccolo, who has gone to pick up Pan from kindergarten at the request of Gohan's wife Videl. Piccolo learns that Pan idolizes Goten and Trunks' superhero escapades, so he offers to train her in the ways of combat.
While this is going on, Magenta, the leader of the Red Ribbon Army, has gotten in contact with the newly released Dr. Hedo and asked him to join their nefarious cause. Intrigued by their proposal to come create the ultimate Android, Dr. Hedo accepts.
Many months later, a mysterious, grey-skinned individual comes to interrupt Piccolo while he's busy training. Although this intruder refuses to identify himself, Piccolo notices the mark on the shoulder of his uniform and that he's unable to sense his assailant's Ki and deduces that he is an Android sent by the Red Ribbon Army.
Suddenly, the Android launches a blisteringly fast attack! Piccolo defends himself, but his Android assailant manages to download the Namekian's fighting style during their battle and starts to read his movements.
Piccolo uses an explosion to feign his own demise and escape. Thrilled at his apparent victory, the Android returns to his base of operations, and Piccolo follows him there. Once inside, Piccolo "borrows" the uniform of a guard and uses it to disguise himself in order to infiltrate deeper into enemy territory.
While at the Red Ribbon Army base, Piccolo can't help but yell out in surprise when he encounters yet another Android that calls the one that attacked him "#2"!
Piccolo is then able to observe the enemy's strategy meeting as they plot against Goku, Bulma, and their allies, who they ironically refer to as being a powerful, evil organization!
During this meeting between the Red Ribbon Army bigwigs, the conversation suddenly switches to the topic of "Cell Max". Sure enough, the creature shown in the footage presented at the meeting is a dead-ringer for Cell, the bio-Android that had terrorized the planet so many years before!
With the threat of these two Gamma-series Androids and the monster known as Cell Max looming, it becomes clear to Piccolo that a serious crisis is about to come knocking at their doorstep.
Refusing to give in, Piccolo jumps into action to protect the Earth! Knowing that they will soon have to take on Androids that are equal to Goku and Vegeta in strength, he contacts Bulma to try to locate the two Saiyan warriors and enlist their help. Imagine his surprise when he learns that they are currently far, far away on Beerus' Planet and busy with some special training of their own!
We then blast off to Beerus' Planet, where we see that Goku and Broly are currently locked in combat!
V Jump's super-sized July edition hits shelves in Japan on May 19! Make sure to go pick up a copy so you can check out the intense training that Broly, Goku, and Vegeta are undergoing on Beerus' Planet, Piccolo's continued efforts to ready Earth's defenses, and all the other exciting events that are unfolding in the SUPER HERO arc!
