The latest Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter had some interesting revelations. [Spoilers]
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
It's very likely they will this arc, I think. We're now dealing with the aim to be the strongest in the universe, AND with Freeza, AND with someone who has a grudge against the entire Saiyan race.

So very recently Uub provided Goku with a "ridiculous" amount of Divine Ki when Goku was exhausted, enough for him to tap into Ultra Instinct again.
It's a strong possibility that Uub could learn ultra instinct because he's a divine being created from all the divine ki of the Grand Supreme Kai. Uub has insane pontential. He has barely had any characterization in super but on the surface he's ripe to become a stupid strong hero.

Firstly we get the setup that something is coming.
Secondly we get confirmation that angels are always using UI, To a much higher degree that Goku being able to seemingly counter him and land hits without effort.
It seems to be that much like Super Saiyan God a few years back that UI is going to become a base level power up that gets itterated and evolved upon.
Then we get the HUGE reveal that other techniques exists aside from UI, Vegeta is much more interested in learning these which sets up something the ToP teased with Super Saiyan God SS Evolved and that is Goku and Vegeta both becoming stronger but down different paths. Maybe they will eventually converge again but for now it seems that Vegeta is going to become stronger in a much different way. Maybe something to do with Hakai
Outside of these events we are introduced to a new faction of pirate esq traders and infomation brokers "The Heeters"
Their true goals unknown but the employ mercenaries to obtain items for them and they eventually want Zuno a god like entity introduced in DBS who knows essentially every single thing in the multiverse.
Then we have Granolah a merc working for hire doing jobs for The Heeters who is absurdly powerful and casually one shots an army of artifical life forms whom just a single member of proved to be a big threat last arc. He hates the saiyans because when working for Freeza they destroyed his planet and people. His race are known marksmen but he is exceptional even by their standards.
Finally we end with word the sleeping oracle fish telling us the balance of power in universe 7 is shifting and a new strongest warrior will rise up. I think the intended idea is that we all this this is Granolah but it's a swerve. I wouldn't be shocked to see this be Uub who last arc made an apperance and displayed incredible power.
This to me at least feels like a really strong intro to the next arc and sets up a lot. I was kind of meh on most of the Moro arc prior but I'm really looking forward to what goes on here.

Full chapters available here officially for free at launch.
I can read all of DBS for free!? How is this profitable for them?

You can read the new chapters, the cycle an older chapter out when one comes in. It's an effort to combat piracy. They make most of their money from merch and licensing and people buy the volumes when they hit retail.
I know the Toyotaro cycle is a thing, but this chapter was simply fantastic and the revelations were GREAT
"By the way, there are further power-ups beyond your last"
Add in a bunch of flashbacks of how Vegeta is totally a changed person now who loves his family.
I think Broly will mostly continue sidelined because if he had a bigger presence he'd basically replace Vegeta as the co-lead.
I'd throw a few more adjectives and you got it!
Metal? Gold? Mario?
OP
OP
There's a few options
Either
He's used as a "Green Ranger" style addition to the team who comes to help in times of need but doesn't really follow the ideals
He is being reserved for a second movie
He joins the z fighters and the cast expands into a trio lead of Broly, Vegeta and Goku.
He is ignored forever
Having more than 2 leads is already something Super has played with a few times, so Broly joining on doesn't really seem like an issue to me.
OP
OP
Me neither and frankly it would be relatively nice to add him and shake up the status quo.
No, but we're approaching that point. Uub has now shown up, and Goku is aware of him, and Vegeta knows he exists (but doesn't know who he is).
OP
OP
We truly cannot be far off now. End of Z is just going to have to end up being ruled non canon sooner or later tbh. It's a mess and super has already made it clear it can't exist. The ONLY way it remains canon now is if everything we have seen in super takes place in the same year and Goku leaves everyone for the next 5 years.
Alternatively, Goku leaves with Uub intending to be gone for a long time, but something happens shortly after that changes those plans.
The 5 year thing is the only thing that doesn't fit and that's easy to retcon. Uub being given divine energy recontextualizes Goku's excitement in a world where DBS exists.
Green Ranger or only showing up in movies are fine with me. If Broly joins the z fighters permanently he will get beaten with the nerf stick. I don't want to see him get whomped every fight to show how powerful the new enemy is before Goku fights them.
I dunno about 10 chapters but otherwise this is correct — a whole lot of potential that gets squandered by needing to fit the usual DB tropes.
It would be a significant waste for them to reuse Broly frequently. Count me in with the group that would rather see him green ranger'd / saved for a movie.

Trunks and Goten got a lot of growing to do.
The timeline is an actual mess at this point and if the want End of Z to stay they are probably going to either drastically age up certain cast members of change the date of the 28th world tournament.
BoG is 4 years post Buu
Dragon balls are used by Goku in BoG (Year 4)
Dragon balls are used again by Sorbet in Golden Frieza Saga (Year 5)
Super Dragon balls are used by Whis the in Universe 6 Saga Saga (Year 6)
Dragon Balls are used again by Android 17 as the winner of the ToP (Year 7)
So that's like.. 3-4 years left
meanwhile
BoG is Age 778Trunks and Goten got a lot of growing to do.

F, Champa and Future Trunks are Age 779
US arc, Broly, GPP arc and Granolah are all Age 780, with the last 2 potentially going into 781.
EoZ is Age 784.
Goten and Trunks not being aged up yet is a non issue, they have Saiyan blood and could grow rapidly in a short period.
Uub looks pretty normal for a 6/7 year old.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on.
You mean to tell me that Goku is going to get even stronger in a piece of Dragonball media?
That's absurd.

In three years
When Dragonball ends. Obtaining new power is literally the whole point of the show.

Where as those dates from?
778 and 789 were advertised dates for BoG and F, Champa and Future Trunks were stated to be the same year as F in Xenoverse 2, the ToP takes place 1 year after Champa, Broly happens very shortly after that and Moro happens immediately after Broly.
Bra was also previously stated to be born in age 780.

If we include Broly then we are just starting the 3rd post ToP arc
Honestly the worst part of the timeline is the fact that History of Trunks is now non-canon because that was 780 and Trunks doesn't look like he did then.BoG is Age 778
F, Champa and Future Trunks are Age 779

I've seen some speculation that Granolahs design looks ripe for a transformation and I absolutely see it too.
This is by far Toyotaro's best design
I've seen some speculation that Granolahs design looks ripe for a transformation and I absolutely see it too.
He really looks like a Chrono Trigger character and I love it.
Don't give up hope!!! We can just rationalize that by saying the art style changed or that the concept is still canon even if that specific depiction isn't (i.e. Bardock situation)
That makes it even more dumb.This is from Super:
Or they do exactly what they did with blue and just stick another thing on top of it in order to create a 'powe-up'
Beerus Story- Sayian God
Revival Of F- Sayian god + Super Sayian
U6- SSB+ Kaio Ken
Black- SSB + fusion
Broly - SSB + other fusion
