When it comes to Dragon Ball, there are a slew of well-known friendships. Gohan is the undeniable student of Piccolo, and the two share an odd bond as mentor and trainee. As for Goten, the younger half-Saiyan is close friends with Trunks. But, of course, there is one friendship that reigns above all others - and it has nothing to do with Vegeta.

Instead, fans have found themselves charmed by the enduring partnership between Goku and Krillin. And, in the next episode of Dragon Ball Super, the two characters will reunited for some nostalgic training.

In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, a short preview for episode 75 of Dragon Ball Super was published. Thanks to fan-translator sailorspazz, fans can read up on the new story and see how the filler will reunited Goku and Krillin for training with Master Roshi.

"Goku is searching for a sparring partner, and...?

Goku has suddenly become restless, but is having trouble finding a partner to spar with. Then he spots Kuririn chasing after a bank robber, and...? Great Saiyaman this week: training with Goku ruins the field!

Goku has no training partner, but the Great Saiyaman appears before him! However, the field is ruined by their sparring, and Chichi explodes with fury!!"

Clearly, it looks like Goku and Krillin will be pleading for Chichi's forgiveness. After all, the mother does take pride in her precious farmland, even if Goku seems to use it more often for unbridled beatdowns.

Of course, fans of the anime have known that Krillin would gradually become a larger part of Dragon Ball Super. When Akira Toriyama confirmed the series would enter a new story arc, fans were teased with a key visual that showed Goku standing alongside powerful warriors like Android 18, Gohan, Vegeta, and Krillin.

In February, the 'Universal Survival' saga was first announced. You can check out its first, brief synopsis below:

"At Goku's request, the Omni-Kings' "Tournament of Power" martial arts tournament between universes now begins! …But this also proves to be the beginning of universal destruction. What awaits the victors of this tournament, and the vanquished…?! How will these intense team battles between the elites of each universe turn out…?!"
