I'm going to air on the side of this arc not being intrinsically linked to Toriyama's script until it's otherwise confirmed. Like others have mentioned, it does seem to be the first of its kind as an exclusively created arc of Toei's design with earnest subject matter being in focus. It's canon to the foremost iteration of Super which is the anime. One of the positives of the arc is the potential glimpse into Hit's previously mentioned assassination specialty techniques.

We were previously told of Hit's special assassination techniques; maybe we'll get to see them! That could be one of the positives of this arc.

Fixed that for you. Goten was at least part of the crowd in the Champa arc.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Goku didn't train in the time chamber .

Would they really debut Hits killing techniques in filler though? To bring him back in back in such a significant way and with Goku dying seems a bit ambitious for filler.

What ever happened to this

"According to the live stream of Heroes, the new arc from the original draft by Toriyama will be showcased in December 2016 at Jump Fiesta. The Jump Fiesta is scheduled for Dec. 7-8, 2016 and we can expect the new arc of "Dragon Ball Super" by Toriyama."

It's the 13th and I've heard nothing.

Why can't filler be ambitious?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

It's not that it can't be, but it's just that it's new for Dragon Ball filler to be ambitious.
Usually we get filler like Fake Namek and Potaefu.

It's definetly filler. The blue guys who appeared in the NEP don't look like Toriyama characters at all.

For people saying "isn't Goku stronger than Hit then how will he "lose"?" I remind that assassins were never known for their muscles but their assassination techniques and their abilities to plan the perfect murders.

Some of the best assassins don't even face their opponents. They just sniper them from a distance.

My idea is that hit's move will be a combination of zero presence and a sniper strike in a blind spot like the back of the neck.

Being able to hide your presence is the perk I pick up first, it's so broken when used right

It's most certainly filler. It's only going to last two episodes.

I have no clue. Maybe Hit kills Goku and then realise the errors of his way and try to revive him? :eh:

I don't know.

Maybe Hit just pretends to kill Goku to get paid

So we're getting another 6 episodes worth of filler of which 2 of those are part of this Hit stuff?

And going by Toyotaro's comment about the manga being ahead soon then wouldn't this new Universe Survival arc have to start in the January issue? Which would mean the upcoming chapter that'll be released in a few days will be the last one of the Future Trunks arc.
