Dragon Ball Super released chapter 99, proving that it still has much to offer beyond the known events of the Tournament of Power. Despite fans’ initial disappointment with chapter 91, which simply recapped the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, this new chapter brings a welcome change.
“Son Gohan’s Ultimate Awakening!” attractive both in terms of storytelling and art, bringing satisfaction, especially to the audience watching Gohan.
The dramatic battle of Piccolo and Cell Max
Chapter 99 has no plot innovation, in line with fans’ expectations. However, the fight against Cell Max takes a new turn with Piccolo’s latest transformation. Toyotarou’s art really stands out in portraying the epic scale of this confrontation, which sometimes fails in the film. Every hit between Giant Orange Piccolo and Cell Max has impressive gravity and weight, honoring the majesty of the series.
This plot of Dragon Ball Super stands out when it is not centered on Goku and Vegeta, leaving room for other characters to shine. Gohan and Piccolo, along with other supporting characters like Gotenks, Android 18, Krillin, and the Gamma Androids all have standout moments. It’s a refreshing approach that shows the importance of all Z fighters, regardless of their strength, highlighting their determination and courage.
The Dragon Ball Super series is full of breathtaking moments and chapter 99 is no exception. We see Cell Max, an imperfect version of Cell without the ability to heal, facing a great challenge. Despite losing an arm, Cell Max was not discouraged and continued his fierce battle.
The increasingly fierce confrontation with Cell Max’s Piccolo created a balanced and attractive fight. Piccolo’s inability to instantly regenerate his arms adds mystery and strategy to the fight, showing that even the strongest warriors can choose to fight on their own terms.
Rise of Gohan: new state Beast Gohan
What always makes Dragon Ball so attractive is its spectacular transformations, and Gohan is not left behind. His transformation into Beast Gohan is a major milestone, especially since it comes at a crucial time for Piccolo. This new power is not only a symbol of strength, but also a testament to Gohan’s deep bonds with his loved ones.
The comic series amazingly shows this transformation, perhaps even surpassing its depiction in the movie “Super Hero”. The detail in Gohan’s hair and the power of his new form initially visually impressed readers.
Chapter 99 is important in highlighting the relationship between Gohan and Piccolo. Piccolo’s contribution in the fight against Cell Max is significant. Gohan’s choice to use the Phantom Observation Cannon – Piccolo’s iconic technique, instead of the Kamehameha, is a great tribute to his teacher and emphasizes the overall nature of his victory. .
Anticipation for the end and beyond
Dragon Ball Super knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats, and the end of chapter 99 is a perfect example. Although fans who have seen the “Super Hero” movie can predict what’s going to happen, the series maintains tension, keeping readers speculating about Cell Max’s ultimate fate.
In addition, Gohan’s epic battle also sets the stage for future clashes. Compared to previous battles in the series (where the fight against Cell Max was limited and direct), the manga showed a new approach to its future stories.
