Dragon Ball Super is taking a page from its latest movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, introducing two new crime fighters to the Z-Fighters with Goten and Trunks. Now that the sons of Goku and Vegeta are teenagers, they are front and center in the latest chapter of the Shonen manga which has just hit the internet. Taking place before the events of Dragon Ball Super’s new movie, Goten and Trunks are taking a page from Gohan by following in the Great Saiyaman’s footsteps.

You can read the new chapter of Dragon Ball Super’s manga, Chapter 88, here on Viz’s Official Website. When last we left the manga, the Granolah The Survivor Arc had come to an end in quite an unexpected way, as Frieza made his return to the series, having not been a part of this latest arc or the Moro Arc before it. Thanks to discovering a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, aka Room of Space and Time, on his conquest of the universe, Frieza was able to train for the equivalent of ten years in ten days and had gained a new transformation in “Black Frieza”. Now the new strongest being in the universe, one-shotting both Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta, the two Saiyans are training hard to prepare for a rematch.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Goten And Trunks
A major surprise in the build-up to Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the film focusing on Gohan and Piccolo fighting against the Red Ribbon Army, was that Goten and Trunks had aged up since last we saw them. Now that the pair are teenagers, they are attending a high school and taking a cue from Gohan’s alter-ego to fight crime as the new heroes Saiyaman X1 and Saiyaman X2.
While the manga hasn’t revealed how long it will focus on Goten and Trunks’ story, acting as a prequel to Super Hero, fans are celebrating the Shonen franchise’s return all the same. At present, Dragon Ball Super has yet to confirm a return of its television series, though considering the amount of popularity it has, it is most likely only a matter of time before we see anime adaptations of the Moro and Granolah The Survivor Arcs.
