Ok, I really hope we get something soon here....

[Kuririn Fan]

There hasn't been anything announced for anime in US and you expect news for manga that promotes it? What?

Promotions usually release before the main product so it wouldn't surprise me if they announced it sometime this year.

It probably won't happen but it's not impossible especially since the manga is released by a different company.

[ParkerAL]

Viz probably won't publish a manga that largely exists to promote an anime Funimation has dibs on.

I'm curious about this "future" that Toriyama and Toyotaro has been talking about...

[ParkerAL]

I'm desperate enough to want to believe Toriyama wants the Super manga to serve as a suitable alternative to telling his new Dragon Ball stories, now that the anime has turned into a bit of a mess.

I mean, there is evidence that the manga is turning into something more than a cheap promo. We've seen it shift suddenly from the rushed pace of the Battle of Gods arc to the steady developments of the Champa tournament. The chapters are longer now, giving Toyotaro more pages to work with, and they're being collected in a volume release, which carries with it a higher degree of prestige and commercial importance. And on top of that, Toriyama himself is apparently approving Toyotaro's storyboards!

I'm definitely straying into wishful territory here, but there is a slight possibility that the volume release in April could include an announcement of the manga going bi-monthly in order to keep up with the anime. Of course, that would entirely depend on whether Toyotaro can adjust to that kind of workload, and if there's a suitable magazine right now for a bi-monthly Dragon Ball manga.

Wrong. Nothing has been announced for an official English-language release. The French version has been already discussed and will most likely start in 2017:

Spoiler:

Côté Glénat, on est suspendu au rythme de publication des tomes originaux par la Shueisha. « S’il sort un volume tous les trois mois au Japon, on pourra proposer un rythme adapté au marché français. S’il en sort un tous les six mois, peut-être vaudra-t-il mieux attendre 2017 », prévient Stéphane Ferrand.

Yeah, me too. Probably the announcement of new arcs, there are still all those Universes.

[buutenks]

A bit disappointed with the manga tournament fights atm.

Piccolo vs frost in the manga was bleh.

And goku vs frost, anime was much better and it showed just how far above frost the ssj trasnformation is.

Botamo, clearly manga was better, no doubt about that.

So, has anyone posted a translation of the latest chapter here? Cause I don't really trust the scanlations out there.

Nope. alakazam^ did the last chapter, but ever since the anime out paced the manga, Herms hasn't bothered with translating the text.

Alakazams generally just as good as Herms though

[SaiyaSith]

I have a feeling that we're going to discover that the saiyan and human races of U6 mixed a long time ago before the "dumb war" happened on U6 Earth. Toriyama said that half saiyans are prodigies(or something to that effect) so that could explain why we see SSJ Cabba keeping up with SSJ Vegeta in the preview.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I rather it just be because the Saiyans aren't a warmongering race in Universe 6. They are warriors who will fight, but it doesn't have to be to the death. Meaning they would have camaraderie and bother saving each other (leading to near death boosts instead of just death), friendly rivalries and training exercises to better their own abilities, etc.

It all fits well with what Whis said earlier, about not even needing his training to drastically improve. The now friendly Goku an Vegeta would just be better off going somewhere and beating the living hell out of each other.

[alakazam^]

Wasn't there a tidbit in some guidebook that hinted at the possibility that Earth's humans were a kind of descendants to Saiyajin of the past or even some race that branched off into those two?

[SansrivaaL]

Vegeta's kinda drained tho, so I can see why Cabba would be able to keep up with him or even overpower him, he used 2 of his signature moves and charged up to break the barrier. He did get some water but still. I feel like some bs will happen nep and Vegeta gets DQ'd for using God ki (not that there was a rule like that but Chanpa as the cry baby he is will probably do something about it, we already see him losing his shit in the prev)

I think hit will deny his DQ and beat vegeta personally.

Wonder if sometimes it happens that manga get released early in Japan?
