Dragon Ball Super Reveals First Details About Goten and Trunks' High School Friends

By Nick Valdez

Dragon Ball Super finally returned from its several month hiatus towards the end of 2022 with a new chapter kicking off the manga's next major arc, and it's getting ready to return for its next major chapter by revealing the first bit of details fleshing out the rest of the student cast introduced with Blue Hal High School. Following a massive cliffhanger featuring a much stronger Frieza than ever seen before, the series picked up with a brand new arc filling in some of the time before the events of the recent Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero feature film.

This Super Hero arc of the manga was teased as a prequel to the events of the movie, and officially introduced the teenage versions of Goten and Trunks to the manga after they made their debut in the anime. The first chapter of this new arc revealed a look into their high school lives together, and with it introduced the close group of friends they had been hanging around with. Now series artist Toyotaro has finally given their names. 

Who are Goten and Trunks' Friends? 

In a special interview with Dragon Ball's official website (as spotted by @DBSChronicles on Twitter), Dragon Ball Super artist Toyotaro revealed the names of the new high school cast of characters. Like many of the other characters seen in the series, their names are puns as well playing off of various school supplies with the likes of Skale, Rulah, Kompas, Chok, and Fayra (until they are properly translated by the Viz Media release) filling out the rest of the cast along with Mai, who is teased to be coming to the high school beginning with the next chapter.

Giving each of these characters names does tease we will be seeing them a lot more as we focus on Goten and Trunks' time in high school as they balance their lives with being newly budding super heroes, but as fans know this all eventually leads into the events of the movie, now it's just a matter of seeing how important this high school stint ends up being for the rest of the series.
