In the most recent issue of Saikyō Jump, a fold-out poster by Toyotarou was included, and fans are geeking out over the gift. In the image, fans can see a slew of Dragon Ball characters dressed in Park Ranger attire like Android 17. The cybernetic character can be seen hitching a ride with Krillin in an open-top vehicle as he takes aim with a rifle. While Krillin looks worried, Android 18 levels out her husband with a cool look, and their daughter seems elated by the bumpy ride.

As for Goku, the Saiyan can be seen riding a creature while Vegeta pouts on top of a dinosaur. Goten and Trunks are also shown in the poster as the former flies atop a bird while Vegeta's son ropes a lasso behind him.
