Recent Leaks for Chapter 88
On Wednesday, December 14th, draught pages for Dragon Ball Super chapter 88 were leaked, marking the beginning of a brand new arc for the popular anime. Surprisingly, it looks like Goku’s family will take centre stage in the next issue rather than Goku himself. In the leaked pages of Dragon Ball Super chapter 88, Goten and Trunks take centre stage, potentially taking up the Saiyaman mantle from the now-adult Gohan. To now, no draught pages from this issue have surfaced, so it’s unclear whether or not Gohan will appear in his Saiyaman costume again.
In the latest instalment of Dragon Ball Super, chapter 88, Goten and Trunks star in a full-colour spread dedicated to the Red Ribbon Army. The leaked draught pages of Dragon Ball Super chapter 88 start with a full-colour spread of Goten, Trunks, and a number of other members of the Red Ribbon Army. Fans of the most recent Super Hero film in the genre may recognise Mai and Dr Hedo among those characters. It appears from this full-colour spread that the Red Ribbon Army will play a significant role in Goten and Trunks’ exploits.
Goku, Beerus, Whis, and the Oracle Fish are shown sitting down to dinner following a workout on the next page of the leaked manuscript. Meanwhile, Vegeta is peering above, contemplating the arrival of Black Frieza at the conclusion of the Granolah the Survivor storyline.
The page closes with a view of Earth, and the text bubbles throughout give the impression that Vegeta is delivering a monologue. On the next page, Goten and Trunks are shown posing in full Saiyaman regalia, as if to claim the title for themselves. The two then engage in a battle with a bunch of petty criminals who are attempting to loot what seems like a jewellery store, with the two groups exchanging blows until one of the robbers pulls out a revolver. According to the stolen draught pages of Dragon Ball Super chapter 88, Trunks then calmly takes the pistol from the criminal, smashes it to bits, and tosses the fragments into a garbage bag. Afterwards, Trunks wraps up the bag and hands it back to the criminal, who is speechless at what he’s just seen.
One of the crooks still holds a knife as he and the others rush Goten and Trunks and the struggle begins. But after a short action sequence, Goten and Trunks easily dispatch both crooks by kicking them back into the sign advertising the jewellery store. After taking down the two criminals, Goten and Trunks take a moment to bask in the adulation of the onlookers before calling the police. The two then travel to a neighbouring rooftop as the police approach, where they watch as the two crooks are captured in the leaked draught pages of Dragon Ball Super chapter 88. As Goten does the same, Trunks removes his helmet and starts chatting with him as he does the same.
They then make a pose before a sign depicting a figure called “Clean God,” who is almost certainly another superhero like Trunks and Goten. Immediately after the two people see the sign and remark on it, Goten appears to receive a text message on his mobile device. He and Trunks talk for a little more before taking a seat on the edge of the roof. In the last pages of the leaked draught of Dragon Ball Super chapter 88, Chi-Chi is shown to be the one who contacts Goten. It would appear that Mom is shouting at him to get ready for school, as the young man has snatched a backpack and disappeared behind the billboard, only to reappear moments later dressed for class.
Like Gohan’s school-hero balancing act in the Buu arc of Dragon Ball Z, he looks to bid farewell to Trunks now when the Flying Nimbus arrives. When viewed as an initial issue, Dragon Ball Super chapter 88 appears like it should be quite thrilling and entertaining. The new arc appears to centre on Goten and Trunks as they usher in the next age of Saiyamen, so viewers can anticipate plenty of excitement, suspense, and other thrills.
Recent Updates for Chapter 88
We now know that the next Dragon Ball Super manga chapter will be published in Shueisha’s shnen manga magazine V Jump in December. On Wednesday, December 21, 2022, the next episode will premiere. After a brief absence, the Dragon Ball Super manga will return in December 2022, as was previously announced in November 2022. As part of the news, it was revealed that Goku and Vegeta would not be the protagonists of the next arc, suggesting that a new coupling will take centre stage in the manga. Next week, a brand new story arc and main characters will be introduced in the Dragon Ball Super manga.
On Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 12:00 a.m. JST, the Dragon Ball Super manga will resume with chapter 88 after a four-month vacation. Most fans across the world will be able to access the chapter on its scheduled release date of December 20th thanks to this. In addition, raw scans for the same will be made accessible online on December 14, seven days before its formal release worldwide. According to a statement published in the magazine’s November edition, Goten and Trunks would replace Goku and Vegeta as the series’ protagonists in the upcoming story arc. This is done so that the events in the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will not affect the timeline.
Since the Saiyan hybrids will be dressed as heroes in this new arc, the title will be “Super Hero Arc.” More than that, they’ll pool their resources to keep the city safe and secure.
The new character designs make Goten and Trunks look much more mature, more like how they appeared in the movies. The adolescent Saiyan hybrids appear to have finally had a growth spurt since they are noticeably taller than they were in the manga. The pair dons superhero outfits based on Bulma’s design for Vegeta’s Saiyan armour. Goten and Trunks’ outfits are virtually identical, but for the reversal of black and white, which is likely how the designers intended for the heroes to be easily distinguished from one another. One further distinction is that Trunks’ cape is noticeably shorter than Goten’s. In terms of the story, not much has been revealed. The only other detail about the next arc that has been provided is that Gohan and Piccollo might play a major role in it, which suggests that the latter will likely aid in training Gohan to help him get stronger.
