Why is that?

Because the people who used to steal the magazines and distribute them for leaking were busted two issues back. So the leaks from around the 16th are no longer a guarantee.

The earliest leaks since then have been from South Koreans getting their imports early, and usually happen around 2-3 days before release, which is traditionally on the 21st every month. So, around the 18th.

Like I said though, there can always be exceptions. So it's safe to expect them then, but they could pop up sooner if we're lucky or even later if we aren't.

I'm just anxious to find out if the rumored names for Team Champa's fighters are real.
Also for confirmation on who Mystery Saiyan is so I can shut down my two wildest theories on him (the theory that he's Uni 6 Vegeta OR that he's the son of Uni 6 Prince Vegeta and Uni 6 Princess Kakarrotto and that female!Kakarrotto looks kinda like her mom in the face which is why Mystery Saiyan has a face that also looks kinda like Gine's and even wilder that "Kabe" is named Kabe because all of Gokû's kids share the first syllable of his name and if he never became Gokû in Uni 6 that would be why the son would have a "Ka" instead of a "Go" pun name and I'm near-certain both my theories are wrong, but I just want to have the proof of it so I can kinda go back to ignoring Mystery Saiyan and focusing more on the upcoming tournament at large).

Not only he knows, Toriyama himself came up with some designs specially for Dragon Ball Heroes.
I had no idea Toriyama created those. They look way more interesting and creative than Chilled (which was also designed by Toriyama apparently).This makes me wonder if it was also him who come up with the rest of the main cast of Heroes

They're cooler looking than Chilled, but I think Chilled with his pot belly is clearly a more original design in comparison. I guess Toriyama purposefully made him weak kind of lame looking since he wasn't meant to compare to Freeza.

Here am I waiting for another epic chapter. Hope we get something by the end of the week.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

They might look "cooler" than Chilled because he is a primitive being, don't forget Chilled is ancestor of Freeza's race from long ago and therefore had an intentional (?) different, simple and "primitive" look (which particularly, the orange color is a nice choice to represent that).

I wonder if Freeza's race passed through a bunch of colors (from orange) to reach the white as we see "nowadays".

This has nothing to do with Super, but the orange on Chilled doesn't equate to anything white on a character like Freeza. So I don't see what possible connection you are trying to make.

Hit - Cell-like guy
Kabe - Mystery Saiyan
Frost - Freeza-like guy
Botamo - the bear
Magetta - the robot

The names appeared in a 2ch thread, but there's no hard evidence to back them up as to if those are the real names or not.

The names appeared on Twitter from someone supposedly at Jump Festa.

I wish they'd taken a picture. Only reason why they wouldn't have that I can think of is maybe they weren't permitted to? The names sound plausible, but I want to wait until the next VJump issue comes out to know for sure.

Excited to see how the written exam is going to test general knowledge.

I'm still wonder how will any of these Uni 6 jobbers are going to be able to genuinely compete with God level Goku/Vegeta more so after a 3 year stint in the ROSAT?

Why wouldn't they?

We know absolutely nothing about universe 6. If Goku and Vegeta got to strong, why is it unbelievable to think people in universe 6 got as strong (or stronger) too?

I hope they at least somewhat cover the 3 year RoSaT training in the TV series. Even if it's only one episode; I've wanted to see Gokû and Vegeta train in the RoSaT together since I first saw that part of the Cell arc where they introduced the place. ( * u * )

Also I really wanna know whose idea in-universe it'll be. Vegeta's? Gokû's? Whis'?

Because know absolutely nothing about any of these guys, their background, nor exactly what type of training they did to get to that level. Doubt they'll be able to get through all that exposition in a monthly 18 page manga. After Seeing Rof I have a very bad feeling a lot of that detail is gonna get glossed over.

This is the one case where we don't need to know. Like Beerus and Whis, for instance.
