'Dragon Ball Super' Fans Are Upset With Its Latest Chapter

It's that time of the month again. Thanks to the folks at Shueisha, the latest chapter of Dragon Ball Super has gone live. The fan-favorite title just dropped its 36th issue on readers, giving them the chance to catch up on all things Tournament of Power. And, as you may have heard, the reception towards this new update has been a bit controversial.

Recently, Viz Media shared the new chapter of Dragon Ball Super with fans, and the release sent the anime fandom into a tizzy. The sparse update continued the 'Universal Survival' story arc as Goku caught up with the fallout of Hit's battle with Jiren. The Pride Trooper was able to knock the assassin out of the event, leaving the tournament's fighters and spectators stunned. The moment was an expected one as it played out much the same way in the anime, but the new chapter hit a strong chord with readers a few pages later.

After all, it did make some big changes to the Tournament of Power's first go-around.

If you have caught up with the manga, then you will know a fair few differences were spotted. Not only did Piccolo get eliminated from the Tournament of Power with little fanfare, but the Universe 7 hero was joined by Android 18. The two heroes were unceremoniously shafted in the chapter as was a slew of side characters. Those eliminations paired with the chapter's static art had prompted fans to share their concerns about the Dragon Ball Super manga on social media. And, as you can see in the slides below, those complaints aren't afraid to be blunt.
