After the inestimable loss of Akira Toriyama , creator of Dragon Ball , the franchise went on an indefinite hiatus, leaving fans without any news for over a year. However, there is now hope, as Toyotarō , Toriyama , has confirmed the continuation of the work, surprising us with the cover of the manga . Thus, in addition to rekindling enthusiasm, the illustrator revealed the main team that will lead the future of the series.
1. Goku Ultra Instinct
| First appearance | Dragon Ball Super, Episode 129, “A Transcendental Limit Break! Autonomous Ultra Instinct Mastered!” |
Since the Tournament of Power, Goku has honed his most powerful ability: Ultra Instinct , a divine technique that allows the body to automatically react to attacks. Previously, this form posed a challenge, but Goku later perfected it, assuming the role of leader of Universe 7's protectors. Thus, he remains the symbol of peace and the greatest martial artist in the franchise.
2. Vegeta Ultra Ego
| First appearance | Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 74, “Vegeta vs. Granolah” |
While Goku embraced the strength of the Angels, Vegeta followed a different path, summoning destructive power with Ultra Ego. While he doesn't yet have full control, his ability to transform damage into offensive force makes him essential to the group. Therefore, Vegeta stands out as the team's "tank," absorbing impacts to retaliate with devastating attacks.
3. Gohan Beast
| First appearance | Dragon Ball Super Movie: Super-Hero |
While Gohan has always displayed extraordinary potential, his Beast transformation took this to another level. Surprisingly, with little training, he reached the same level of power as Goku and Vegeta, proving his natural ability. While this divides opinions among fans, Gohan will undeniably be a pillar of the series' future, using brute force to dominate opponents.
4. Broly Super Saiyan
| First appearance | Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan Movie |
Previously, Broly was known for his immense strength, but he was unable to control it. However, recently, he demonstrated mastery of his legendary form, able to fight alongside the other heroes. Eventually, by fully mastering this power, Broly could become the strongest of them all.
5. Orange Piccolo
| First appearance | Dragon Ball Super Movie: Super-Hero |
Surprisingly, Piccolo, always underestimated in terms of strength, now matches the Saiyans with his orange transformation. While not the most offensive of the group, his strategic role will be crucial in intelligently leading future battles, thus ensuring balance for the team.
What to expect from Toyotarō for Dragon Ball?
Toyotarō is expected to maintain Toriyama's legacy in Dragon Ball, expanding on divine techniques and strengthening characters like Gohan, Broly, and Piccolo. Thus, the future of the franchise promises a balance between tradition and innovation, with new sagas and impactful transformations.
