Dragon Ball Super Illustrator Revisits Tien in New Sketch

Dragon Ball Super might be introducing new transformations such as Ultra Instinct, Ultra Ego, Gohan Beast, and Orange Piccolo to name a few, but it has also given Shonen fans some shining moments for some of the weaker Z-Fighters. Such is the case with Tenshinhan, the three eyed brawler who played a big role during the Tournament of Power and also fought against the energy absorbing wizard known as Moro. Now, the current artist for Dragon Ball Super’s manga has given new life to Tien via a new sketch.

Tenshinhan first arrived in the Shonen series as an enemy to Goku and his friends, but much like Piccolo and Vegeta, eventually found himself becoming an ally. Over time, Tien simply couldn’t keep up with Super Saiyans, Ultra Instinct, and Ultra Ego, but is arguably the most powerful human being who doesn’t have alien DNA coursing through his veins. Perhaps in the future of the Shonen series, Tenshinhan will be given a transformation and/or power-up that finally allows both him and his fellow humans to play some serious catch-up with his fellow Z-Fighters in Dragon Ball Super.

Toyotaro took the opportunity to share his latest artwork featuring the multi-limbed brawler, as Dragon Ball Super’s manga has returned to focus on Goten and Trunks in the events that would lead up to the hit movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero: 

Dragon Ball didn’t have anything to reveal at this year’s Jump Festa, which is a shame for those that have been waiting to receive word on the anime television series’ return. While there have been rumors that a spin-off series was in the works, no official word has arrived as it stands when it comes to potentially adapting the Moro and Granolah Arcs. The creative minds behind the recent movie have stated that a new project is in the works, though details have been few and far between as it stands.

Do you hope to see Tenshinhan gain a power boost in the future of Dragon Ball Super? Do you think we might see the anime series return in 2023? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of the Z-Fighters.
