Dragon Ball Super Announces its Next Major Arc

By Nick Valdez

Dragon Ball Super will finally be ending its hiatus and returning for new chapters very soon, and the manga has revealed what is coming in the next arc of the series! When the Granolah the Survivor arc came to an end earlier this Summer, it was announced that the manga would then be taking an extended hiatus as the team prepared for the next arc of the series. In the months since fans have been wondering what plans could be in place for the future of the series, and now we finally have gotten some answers with the next arc of the manga.

Following previous teases from earlier this year noting that we would get to see a new Dragon Ball Super arc some time this year, the official website for the series has announced that the manga will be returning to the pages of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine on December 21st in Japan (and likely December 20th for North America). It will be coming back with a brand new arc dubbed the "Super Hero" arc that features Goten and Trunks in a major role. 

What is Coming in Dragon Ball Super's Super Hero Arc? 

The title of the arc, "Super Hero" seems like it will tie into the events of the Dragon Ball Super: Super 
Hero movie, but as of this point it's unclear as the official website for the series only has announced the name of the arc and revealed the first full image of Goten and Trunks in some new hero suits. They are the same age as they were in the recent movie, however, so at least the manga will be aging them more so heading into the future of the series.

All the website says about Dragon Ball Super's new Super Hero arc is the mysterious tease, "The mischievous duo of the half-Saiyans become heroes who protect the peace of the city...?" But with it starting with Chapter 88 of the series, and the manga coming back for new chapters later this year, we'll get more of our answers soon!
