Dragon Ball Super: Granolah Goes Toe-to-Toe With Gas in New Preview

Granolah and Gas' Dragon Ball-powered battle continues in the latest preview for Dragon Ball Super's Chapter 80.

SPOILERS FOR DRAGON BALL SUPER FOLLOW:

New rough sketches of the chapter were released through the official Dragon Ball website. The rough drafts show off more action shots from Granolah and Gas' on-going battle. The villainous Gas previously used a wish from this planet's Dragon Ball's to make him the strongest warrior in the universe, similar to how Granolah powered himself up earlier in the arc. While the wish has now technically made Gas the most powerful fighter on the battlefield, Granolah revealed that he has learned to make more efficient use of his new strength, allowing the two fighters to keep up their battle on seemingly equal footing. The new preview images seem to suggest that Granolah will maintain his slight advantage, but Gas and the other Heeters seem to have more tricks up their sleeves. In addition to the new panels, a new promo video looking back at the events of the arc so far was also released.

 

 

 

 

During a recent update video covering the entire Dragon Ball franchise, a representative for the series confirmed that the current Granolah the Survivor saga is nearing its conclusion. The arc first began in 2020 and introduced several new characters to the series, including the eponymous Granolah, the sole survivor of a race that was supposedly driven to near-extinction by the Saiyans decades ago. The arc also featured the debut of Vegeta's newest form, Ultra Ego, which is intended to be the dark counterpart to Goku's Ultra Instinct transformation.

In addition to updates about the manga, Dragon Ball series producer Akio Iyoku also recently revealed that there may be more animated entries in the franchise in 2022 beyond the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie. While Iyoku did not reveal any other details about what this new animated project may be, fans are hoping that he was teasing the return of the Dragon Ball Super anime series. The original Super anime concluded its broadcast run in 2018, and the manga has since completed the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga. Neither that saga nor the current Granolah arc have received an animated adaptation yet, so there is plenty of content for a theoretical new season of the show to work off of.

The next chapter of Dragon Ball Super is scheduled to be released on Jan. 20. The manga is distributed in North America by VIZ Media and new chapters are released digitally through the publisher's Manga Plus service.
