Dragon Ball fans, grab your Senzu Beans! The hype is real as Dragon Ball Super just dropped bombshell artwork for Volume 24, and it’s all about Broly flexing his iconic Legendary Super Saiyan power. Remember that unstoppable, green-haired beast from the 2018 movie? He’s back but with a twist. Let’s dive into what this means for the series and why fans are losing their minds.
Broly New Look: Slimmer, Smarter, and in Control
The latest cover art for Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 isn’t just eye candy—it’s a game-changer. Toyotarou’s artwork features Broly standing alongside Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Beast Gohan, and Orange Piccolo. But here’s the kicker: Broly’s rocking his Legendary Super Saiyan form without the Hulk-like rage we’re used to.
- Slimmer Build, Sharper Mind: Gone are the days of Broly shredded, out-of-control physique. This version is leaner, still wearing his black long-sleeve shirt (no ripped sleeves!), hinting he’s mastered his chaotic energy.
- What This Means: Fans speculate this design shift ties into Broly’s character growth post-DBS: Broly. Could this mean he’s finally teaming up with the Z Fighters? The manga might spill the beans soon.
Volume 24 Breakdown: Adapting Super Hero & a Goten-Trunks Side Quest
Scheduled for an April 4, 2025, release in Japan, Volume 24 packs a punch with four chapters:
- Chapters 101–103: Wraps up the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie adaptation, diving into Gohan’s Beast mode and Piccolo’s Orange transformation.
- Chapter 104: A fun one-shot released in February 2025, showing how Goten and Trunks became superheroes inspired by Clean God (yes, that guy).
But Wait—There’s a Catch: After Chapter 104, the manga hit a pause button. Why? The tragic passing of Akira Toriyama in March 2024 left fans and creators grieving. With no news on Chapter 105, some fans are frustrated, calling the Goten-Trunks story a “filler” move to stall for time.
The Future of Dragon Ball Super: What’s Next?
While the manga’s hiatus has left a Saiyan-sized hole in fans’ hearts, there’s still hope. The series remains a powerhouse, available digitally on Viz Media and Manga Plus. But questions linger:
- Will Broly Join the Main Cast? His new look suggests he’s here to stay.
- When Will Chapter 105 Drop? No dates yet, but Toyotarou’s art keeps the hype alive.
FAQs: Your Burning Questions Answered
Q: Why did Broly’s design change?
A: The slimmer look likely shows his growth he’s no longer a rage monster but a warrior in control.
Q: Is Dragon Ball Super ending after Volume 24?
A: Not confirmed! The hiatus is temporary, but fans are split on whether the manga will continue post-Toriyama.
Q: Where can I read the manga?
A: Catch up on Dragon Ball Super via Viz Media or Manga Plus.
Final Thoughts: Keep Those Scouters Ready!
Whether you’re here for Broly’s glow-up or the Z Fighters’ next battle, Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 is a must-read. And who knows? With Broly mastering his power, maybe we’ll see him throw down with Frieza (again) soon.
