According the latest update on the main page, the December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump will contain a 3-shot Dragon Ball manga. Does anyone have more info about this?

Wow... I wonder what 3-shot means, and if Toriyama is involved, though.

It's probably another mini-series like Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock. Maybe this three-shot will tie into the upcoming new series for Dragon Ball Heroes?

It's so misleading they say series for Dragon Ball Heroes... Unless they make a Dragon Ball Heroes anime or something.

That reminds me of the Dragon Ball Hoshi bragging before it was revealed to be a game. Where did the "Hoshi" name even originate from?

Some kid in South America.

I'm guessing it means the story will only last 3 chapters. I hope Toriyama is involved, although we know he won't be the one drawing it, and especially not the one inking it.

I would love a Dragon Ball Heroes anime, they would have an excuse to show fights that would never occur in the real series, like SSJ4 Gotenks vs Broli, but I suspect that ad was just worded poorly, and there isn't really going to be Dragon Ball Heroes anime.

I'm certain that isn't what thisnid referring to, but I too would love a DragonBall Heroes anime. It would totally be a cross between DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh! which sounds like a blast.

Maybe it will be an Episode of Katatz or Episode of Vegeta three-shot? That would be right up my alley.

Yeah, I'm expecting something GT Gotenks related since he is supposed to be a big part of the next DBH series(at least from what I have read).

Just noticed that the issue comes out on my birthday!

GT Gotenks could be interesting. Would they later on adapt it into a Jump Tour special ala Bardock though, I wonder.

Clearly Episode of Appule.

It'd be neat if Toriyama was involved in some way but it would have to be a consulting role since he's done drawing manga on this scale if I remember correctly.

Also, wouldn't 3-shot refer to 3 volumes since a 1-shot is typically the size of a tankobon (right?).

I'm betting it won't be anything special. Don't expect anything amazing out of this.

A one-shot is any comic that is intended to be a standalone story in itself, regardless of length. At least in American comics, I've seen some works that were originally serialized as monthlies referred to as a "one-shot" if the subsequent graphic novel is not in a series with anything else, but the Japanese word "yomikiri" (読み切り) generally refers to a completely standalone comic, separate from serials (連載 rensai) of any length.

So then 3 shot should be 3 completely separate stories. It would be interesting if they started a new Dragon Ball series with multiple artists and writers telling different stories in the Dragon Ball universe at any point in the DB timeline they choose, with Toriyama supervising.
