With the Future Trunks arc over and done, "Dragon Ball Super" will be back this Sunday with a short new arc that marks the return of Hit, the legendary assassin from Universe 6.
The new "Dragon Ball Super" arc was revealed in the latest issue of the V-Jump magazine in Japan. Here, Hit was tasked by an unknown individual to kill Son Goku.
So far, the next four episodes of "Dragon Ball Super" are slated to cater to the new arc, although it is unclear if they will tell the whole story.
"Dragon Ball Super" episode 68 is called "Come Forth, Shenlong! Whose Wish Shall Be Granted?!," which will air this Sunday, Nov. 27.
This episode will see Goku attempt to revive King Kai using the dragon balls but is held up by others who want wishes granted as well.
It will be followed by "Goku vs. Arale! The Earth Comes to an End Due to their Battle?" on Dec. 4. Arale is the protagonist of the "Dr. Slump" manga by "Dragon Ball" creator Akira Toriyama.
She has appeared in episode 43, although this was more of a glimpse of the character than a full-on introduction. This will be taken care of in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 69.
According to Saiyan Island, the installment is set on the World Invention Award, where the best scientists all over the world come together to celebrate and honor innovations. Goku will be working as a part-time security guard there.
Bulma will be present, but so is Arale's creator, Senbei Norimaki, who will be honored at the ceremony. However, "Dr. Slump" baddie Dr. Mashirito crashes the party and throws a destructive tantrum after learning he was not invited.
Arale will work for Dr. Mashirito, thus turning against her own creator. This is where Goku interrupts.
After this, episode 70 titled "Challenge from Champa! Let's fight in baseball!" will air on Dec. 11. Although his installment appears to have a lighter tone, "Dragon Ball Super" episode 71, airing Dec. 18, will be a dark one.
The title suggests that Goku is in big trouble — "Goku dies! Assassination order that must be performed." This appears to be where Hit fulfills his mission.
