After the intense fights and hair-raising events that transpired in the last few episodes of the highly popular anime television series, "Dragon Ball Super," the next few episodes seem to be a series of light-hearted encounters that should still be quite enjoyable to watch for fans. Reports are also now revealing that the next episode will apparently feature a character straight from the "Dr. Slump" manga series created by Akira Toriyama.

According to the latest spoiler reports for the next episode, episode 69, Goku will reportedly be encountering a classic character from the original "Dragon Ball" manga and anime series in the form of the superhuman android Arale Norimaki. While Arale was a recurring minor character in the original "Dragon Ball" series, this will reportedly be her first time in "Dragon Ball Super." Although other reports have revealed that she actually appeared in a scene on episode 43, her appearance on episode 69 will have her in a more substantial role and part of the key characters in the new episode arc.

As for the episode itself, spoiler reports have revealed that Goku and Bulma will apparently be attending the "World Invention Award" event, with Goku being the unofficial security guard for the occasion. Both Bulma and Goku will also be part of the awarding ceremony where Senbei Norimaki will be awarded with the coveted prize. Dr. Mashirito will then interrupt the awarding ceremony with Arale and Gatchan in tow.

Reports have revealed that Arale will be facing Goku in a fight in the next episode. It will be interesting to see how the battle will unfold and if Arale will indeed be stronger than Goku as Toriyama has claimed numerous times. Toriyama insists that Arale is his most powerful creation and that she will be able to defeat even Goku.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 69 titled "Goku vs. Arale! A Nonsense Battle Will End the World?!" is scheduled to air on Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. JST on Fuji TV.
