We took a few months off from compiling summaries for a few specific series while we worked on relaunching the “Spin-Off” section of our “Manga Guide“, but it is back to business this month!

The December 2013 issue of V-Jump officially hit Japanese shelves today, and continues with the spin-off/advertisement manga series Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission by “Toyotarō“.

In this fourteenth chapter — “Shenlong(?) Appears!!” — the tournament continues onward. Beat defeats Erito, Kagyu defeats Baserk, Note defeats Poko, Froze defeats Mirego, Kabura defeats Viola, and the Artificial Human trio defeat their respective opponents, including Forte.

Abura, the self-described Neko Majin atop Kabura’s head, proves he can talk (and use magic) to get back at Kabura bad-mouthing him, but nearly blows his cover as Note overhears. Luckily, Note merely thinks Kabura was being rude.

The second round gets underway as Beat notices Sora is missing, while two mysterious new characters (identified elsewhere in the magazine as “Tsubasa” and “Momo-chan“, alongside their live-action counterparts) look over the proceedings, commenting on this being the world Sora was in.

Round 2 is Kabura vs. Froze, Beat vs. Nimu, Note vs. Nico, and Kagyu vs. Genom. The battlefield activates unbidden, and as the four pairs begin their matches, an old man inside the world — named “Dr. Auto” — calls forth Shenlong on the cracked Dragon Balls. Smoke billows forth, even in the normal world, drawing the attention of Yoshito-kun. “Just as Sora said…”

The Artificial Human trio seem to understand what is going on, as a cigar-chomping dragon appears before the old man…

“Mission 14” has been archived on the main listing page for Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission in our “Spin-Off” guide.

The December 2013 issue of V-Jump is packed with additional Dragon Ball news and is available for purchase from CDJapan, Play-Asia, and Amazon Japan.
