Goku has died and the Artificial Humans continue to pillage the world. Bulma and Gohan notice that the Dragon Balls have been collected. The sky darkens as Pilaf & Co. summon Shenlong! Pilaf wishes for their youth to be restored, though Shuu wonders why this even matters with such monsters on the loose near South City. Bulma and Gohan arrive, but it is too late. Shenlong complies, returning the trio to their youth… as babies. As Pilaf wonders what happened, the Dragon Balls drop from the sky as stones, meaning Piccolo has been killed.
Bulma watches as Gohan screams his mentor’s name. Baby Trunks, sitting in a carrier on her back, looks down at Mai, who returns the curious glance as the baby trio plan their escape.
At each year's Jump Victory Carnival, a special guidebook is produced that all attendees receive. Within this guidebook is booth information, promotions for upcoming products, as well as short manga chapters from Shueisha's team of authors. In previous guidebooks, Toyotarō had contributed Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission bonus chapters; with that series on hiatus, for the 2015 guidebook onward, he has contributed special Dragon Ball Super manga chapters.
The chapter addresses the oft-criticized fact that Pilaf & Co.'s age-reduction is never acknowledged or addressed in the Dragon Ball Super series, despite its casual mention during the 2013 theatrical film, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. This two-page chapter also helps address how Mai appears as the age she does during the future Trunks’ alternate timeline.
Variations
The Viz adaptation has Shuu tell Pilaf that the "monsters" are causing trouble "down in the southern city". The Japanese text reads 南の部の近く, meaning "near South City", not in the city. This matches up with what Future Trunks said about the place the Artificial Humans attacked: "nine kilometers southwest of South City".[1]
The original Jump Victory Carnival 2016 Official Guidebook printing of the chapter features additional splash text which was later removed in the collected edition reprint. Text on the first page states (TBD), while text on the second page states (TBD).
