Dragon Ball Super Preview Teases Goten and Trunks' New Hero Roles

By Evan Valentine

Dragon Ball Super might not be bringing back Orange Piccolo and/or Gohan Beast via its manga any time soon, but the printed story is prepping for a major comeback with a story focusing on Goten and Trunks. Taking place prior to the events of Super Hero, it seems that the offspring of Goku and Vegeta will be patrolling the streets as brand new super heroes as a new preview not only shows off their upcoming exploits, but confirms the names they'll be taking on in their new costumes.   

While this new arc will focus on the sons of Goku and Vegeta, the two main Z-Fighters are pictured in the preview, continuing their training following the conclusion of the Granolah The Survivor Arc. In the last chapter of the storyline that introduced us to the last Cerealian and the criminal organization known as the Heeters, Frieza made a surprise appearance with a new transformation under his belt dubbed "Black Frieza". Discovering a secret Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Frieza trained for the equivalent of ten years and has thus made himself the newest strongest being in the universe, giving the Prince of all Saiyans and Kakarot a new reason to attempt to reach new levels of power.

Saiyaman Returns

Goten and Trunks will be dubbed "Saiyaman X1 and Saiyaman X2" according to the official Dragon Ball website, with Twitter Outlet DBS Hype sharing the recent draft for the upcoming chapter that gives us a good look at what Goku and Vegeta's sons are up to when the manga returns:

Dragon Ball Super is slated to have a presence at this year's Jump Festa, which will arrive in just a few days, and will be making some big announcements for the largest Shonen series the world over. One thing that many Z-Fighter fans have been waiting for is an announcement regarding the return of Dragon Ball Super's anime series, though it's anyone's guess when the television show will make a comeback following its end after the Tournament of Power's conclusion.
