This is not the first description to go live for the anime’s next episode. “Invasion of the Ultimate, Worst Warriors! Universe 6 Demolished!” promised fans its two new villains will make waves when it goes live.
“Trunks and company face an uphill battle against Oren and Kamin’s fierce combination attacks. In the middle of the fight, the Core Area warrior Hearts appears and reveals his shocking plan,” the first synopsis explains.
So far, there is no word on whether Goku will make an appearance in this episode, but fans are curious as to where the Saiyan is. The fighter has not been seen since this new Dragon Ball Heroes story arc kicked off. Goku was seen last fighting Cumber on the Prison Planet, but their ensuing fight prompted the world’s destruction. Fans were not told how (or if) Goku managed to make it out of the fight in one piece, but the consensus is that Goku is alive and well somewhere. So, if Universe 6 is going to need more backup, Goku is hopefully out there getting ready to save the day.
