Dragon Ball Super Releases Surprising First Look at Chapter 87

By Evan Valentine

The battle against Gas came to an end in the previous chapter of Dragon Ball Super, but a new draft for Chapter 87 of the Shonen series hints at the idea that the battles of the Granolah Arc aren't quite finished yet. As it stands, the manga hasn't made any hints as to what will take place following the current arc, though this surprising preview moment might give us an idea of a character that is returning to the franchise after being away for quite some time.         

Warning. This preview for Chapter 87 of Dragon Ball Super has some serious spoilers, so be forewarned that if you don't want the Granolah Arc spoiled, you might want to steer clear of the rest of this article.

When last we left the Granolah Arc, Vegetan and Goku were able to bury the hatchet with the Cerelian who previously wanted nothing more than to get revenge on both them and the army of Frieza. Losing his race and his mother, Granolah and the Saiyans were able to discover that the bounty hunter's mother, and his younger self, were protected by Goku's father, Bardock. Unfortunately for the Cerealian, Bardock wasn't able to save his mother from the Heeters, though Bardock was able to save him.

Twitter Outlet DBS Chronicles shared the new draft pages for the upcoming chapter of Dragon Ball Super, seeing the Heeters attempting to escape while also sharing the surprising moment in which the Namekian Minaito has been shot by an energy beam that looks a little familiar:

Frieza hasn't actually made an appearance in this latest arc, which is definitely surprising considering how the past of Granolah and the future schemes of the Heeters revolve around the alien despot. While not confirmed to be an attack from Frieza that felled Minaito, it sure seems to look like one of the villain's patented finger energy attacks. At present, it hasn't been confirmed whether this upcoming chapter will be the last for the Granolah Arc though throwing Frieza into the mix might hint at what is to come for the Z-Fighters.

Do you think we'll be seeing Frieza return in this new chapter or is this attack from a different villain entirely? 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 Dragon Ball.
