V Jump's Super-Sized February Edition hits store shelves across Japan on Thursday, December 21! This is truly a must-read issue, as it contains the monumental 100th chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga!
The SUPER HERO arc that began with a prequel of Trunks and Goten acting as superheroes is finally reaching its climactic conclusion! Let’s take a look back on the story thus far and reexperience the epic clash against the Red Ribbon Army!
Earlier on in the story, Piccolo gets attacked by Gamma 2, an android sent by the Red Ribbon Army. Piccolo evades Gamma 2’s powerful attacks and feigns his own demise, and then uses the opportunity it provides him to stealthily follow his mechanical adversary back to his base.
Once there, Piccolo learns of the Red Ribbon Army’s return, and of their nefarious plot to attack him and his comrades.
The Namekian quickly makes up his mind to fight back and starts prepping for the upcoming battle!
While Piccolo hurriedly prepares, the Red Ribbon Army decides their next target: Gohan!
The nefarious villains kidnap Gohan's daughter Pan and use her to lure Gohan to their base.
But this too was all part of Piccolo's master plan!
To get Gohan to regain his lost power, Piccolo and Pan work together to make it look like the tiny half-Saiyan lass is in grave peril, and their plan works like a charm! Gohan's burst of anger powers him up into his "Ultimate" form, and he has a fierce showdown with the formidable Gamma 1. As the battle rages on, Gamma 2 joins the fray to support his partner, causing Piccolo to come to Gohan's aid!
Previously, Piccolo had wished to Shenron and had the dragon unlock his latent potential, but despite fighting valiantly, still finds himself knocked out by a counterattack from Gamma 2...
Just when things look dire for the Namekian, Shenron's little "extra" activates!
Piccolo becomes bigger, badder, and more colorful than ever as he awakens into a new form, "Orange Piccolo"!
He then overpowers Gamma 2 with a single mighty blow.
After witnessing Orange Piccolo’s strength, Magenta and his Red Ribbon cronies give up any pretense of being heroic. Seeing this, the Gammas realize they were on the wrong side all along and renounce their alliance with the evildoers!
It seemed like everything was heading to a peaceful resolution, but then...
As his last wicked deed, Magenta awakens Cell Max!
The colossal android begins to rampage about attacking everything and everyone in range indiscriminately. Our heroes team up to take on this terrifying new threat, but find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place...
Gamma 2 puts his absolute all into a devastating single strike and manages to take out one of the monster's arms.
However, despite losing his left arm defending against the attack, Cell Max rages on unabated.
Piccolo determines that their only chance of defeating Cell Max is to have Gohan focus all of his power into a single, focused attack.
To create an opening for his pupil to land his decisive blow, Piccolo confronts Cell Max head on!
Piccolo busts out his Gigantification technique to dramatically grow in size, allowing him to go head-to-head with the colossal android!
Cell Max fires off devastating blows one after another, but Piccolo refuses to stay down no matter what!
Piccolo puts his life on the line to slow down Cell Max but slips for just an instant, causing the Namekian warrior to eat a barrage of punishing attacks.
As if that weren't bad enough, he even takes a devastating Kidan energy blast head on...
When Gohan sees his beloved teacher being helplessly pummeled, something snaps within the half-Saiyan warrior!
A stupendous amount of power pours forth from Gohan, and he awakens into his new "Beast" state!
In the face of this new adversary, Cell Max begins charging up a massive Kidan energy ball attack!
Piccolo regains consciousness, and seeing what Cell Max is up to, uses his ability to stretch out his limbs to ensnare the rampaging giant!
Vowing to constrict Cell Max if it's last thing he does, he entrusts Earth's destiny to Gohan and hangs on for dear life!
Empowered by his teacher's words, Gohan begins charging Ki into his fingertips.
Cell Max senses the danger he's in and struggles frantically to get out of Piccolo's snake-like grasp, and Krillin and the others jump in to attack the giant's wings to prevent him from escaping!
Sensing that it's now or never, Piccolo puts all his remaining strength into binding Cell Max!
Gohan now has the opportunity he needs to end this once and for all, but just what kind of astonishing attack is he about to fire off?!
V Jump's Super-Sized February Edition goes on sale on Thursday, December 21!
Check it out to witness the dazzling, full-color version of Gohan's awe-inspiring attack for yourself!
