Warning: SPOILERS for Dragon Ball SuperChapter #101’s chapter #101 Super Dragon Ball gave die-hard fans of the series exactly what they’ve been asking for for months, while also silencing critics who expressed their disappointment with the recent Superhero Arc. Goku’s return and his meeting with Gohan in his new Monster form is exactly the exciting development that made the series famous and it seems like the manga is preparing great things for the next installment.
Based on the storyboard previewed by Shueisha, it seems that chapter #101 of Dragon Ball Super will follow the Super Hero story, focusing on supporting characters like Carmine. Critics were quick to express their disappointment online after the previews were published, but it’s safe to say they were proven wrong.
While the first half of Dragon Ball Super chapter #101 really focuses on Goten and Trunks in their superhero personas, drawn into a dastardly plan by Carmine, the second half shows a worthy practice match. between Vegeta and Broly, before moving to Earth. again, where Gohan transforms into his Beast form, showing he has full control over this powerful transformation.

The highlight of the chapter is of course Goku returning to Earth after sensing Gohan’s ki., on the last page. However, this chapter is clearly intended to bring the story back to a complete state after a long “rest” due to the adaptation of the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Broly’s development is shown, Whis tells the Saiyans what happened on Earth during the Superhero arc, and even mentions Frieza and his Black form, who are I think it will be the big highlight of this section.
Overall, it seems like the writers almost want to trick their fans by pretending this chapter is about Carmine and Saiyamen (with the title even being “Carmine and the Soldier #15”), when this is just is a way to make Gohan angry again, so he will release his Beast form and attract Goku to Earth with his ki. There’s still little doubt that this didn’t happen in chapter #100, meaning Dragon Ball Super wasted an important milestone in its history, but better late than never.
Of course, the question remains which direction the story will take. To the credit of the Superhero arc, it must be said that it has rejuvenated and made Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks relevant again, which means Goku and Vegeta no longer need to steal all the spotlight. However, fans are also eager to see the results of their years of training on Beerus’ planet. On top of that, Broly also seems to have become a permanent member of the cast.
Chapter #101 truly marks the turning point of Dragon Ball Super. The cast of the series is the strongest ever – in every sense of the world. With the threat of Frieza lurking on the horizon, the stage appears to be set for a showdown with the series’ classic villain, but there’s also the possibility that the story will save Frieza later, according to reports.
