The untitled fifteenth chapter of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission!, by Yoshitaka Nagayama, was first published in Japan in the November 2019 issue of Shueisha's Saikyō Jump.
Synopsis
The Time Patrol, cooperating with Demigra and Robel, continues its assaults on the six Hell Gates maintaining the barrier to Mechickaboola’s lair in the Demon Realm.
Summary
In the “Green” Hell Gate, Robel faces Putine, who uses her body-manipulation magic to fling a crowd of unwilling Demon Realm soldiers at Robel, an act she dubs the "Puppet Machine Gun" technique.
One of the soldiers berates Demigra and his followers for being traitors. Robel says that “traitor” is an insult better suited for their side, noting that “Two-Faced Putine” was formerly an underling of Demigra’s. Robel uses her “Time Rail” to reverse the soldiers' movement midair, hurtling them back toward Putine. The group explodes on contact.
Successful in her mission, Robel rejoins Trunks: Xeno and Pan: Xeno in the hub of Hell Gates. She accredits her victory to having spent tens of thousands of years as a spy in the Demon Realm's army.
Robel notices that Gohan: Xeno, Goten: Xeno, and Vegeta: Xeno have all returned as well, and praises them. The group notes that Son Goku: Xeno has yet to return, and Robel teasingly says that perhaps he lost.
In the “Blue” Hell Gate, Goku: Xeno battles Salsa, who uses gales of wind produced by his sword slashes to turn Goku’s ki blasts back at him. Goku rushes in for a physical attack, prompting Salsa to use “Trick of Storm” to summon a gigantic tornado, trapping Goku inside.
As Goku struggles against the whirlwind, Salsa wonders whether Goku will be pushed back and crushed first, or sliced to death by his sword. Salsa rushes toward Goku for the kill.
Goku ducks and calls for the Nyoi Bо̄, strapped to his back, to extend. The weapon catches Salsa in the stomach, pushing him back and causing the tornado to dissipate. Goku turns Super Saiyan and dispatches Salsa with a Kamehameha.
Goku emerges from the Hell Gate and rejoins the others. Now only waiting on Chamel, Pan: Xeno teasingly comments that perhaps he lost, turning Robel’s words back at her. Robel says she might be starting to like Pan’s style.
Chamel emerges from the final Hell Gate battered. He flashes back to Broli: Dark’s emergence, saying that the Saiyan began running wild with no end in sight, forcing even Towa to retreat.
With their seals broken, the Hell Gates crumble. Robel proclaims the first phase of their plan complete, and begins to explain their next move, which will take place once everyone has recovered.
Robel stops talking mid-sentence, and Trunks notices that everyone in the area is suddenly frozen in place. He recognizes this as “Freeze” technique wielded by the Kaiо̄shin of Time.
Trunks looks upward and sees the Kaiо̄shin of Time hovering overhead. He says that they came here to help her. She attributes the ineffectiveness of “Freeze” to the Key Sword Trunks is holding. As a response, she plans to unleash more of her dark power.
Assuming a dark version of her adult form, the Kaioshin of Time unleashes her “Time Clock” attack, sending a barrage of dark arrows toward Trunks. Trunks uses the Key Sword to enter a “time labyrinth,” which displays the Kaiо̄shin of Time’s memories. Through the time labyrinth, Trunks witnesses her struggle against the Demon Gods in the time rift, as well as her brainwashing at the hands of Mechickaboola.
Infuriated, Trunks turns Super Saiyan 3, and uses the Key Sword to cut a path through the Kaiо̄shin of Time’s attacks. He strikes her with the sword, causing the darkness to evaporate from her body.
Returned to normal, the Kaiо̄shin of Time apologizes to Trunks and the others, but Trunks assures her that there is no need. With the Kaiо̄shin of Time restored, Robel proclaims the second phase of their plan complete as well. Now all that is left is to wait for Demigra to return from restoring the Dragon Balls.
Before the group can plan their next move, however, a torrent of energy blasts rains down from the tower in front of them. Mechickaboola stares down.

Notes
The original Saikyō Jump printing of the chapter features a full-color image page leading into the chapter.
The flavor text running along the color page reads, “I promise ... I will save you!" (必ずあなたを...救い出す！), in reference to Trunks: Xeno and the Kaiо̄shin of Time.
As a standard magazine backup feature, author Yoshitaka Nagayama offered a brief answer to a question in the back of the Saikyō Jump issue in which the chapter was originally published:
ハロウィンで仮装してみたい格好は？ What do you want to be for Halloween?
狼男や、ドラキュラもカッコいい‼ 長いキバをつけて、お菓子食べたい。 A werewolf or Dracula would be cool! I want to slap on some long fangs and eat candy.
