Dragon Ball Super Reveals Goten and Trunks’ Spin on a Classic Superhero

The 104th installment of the Dragon Ball Super manga has been published, marking its return after a prolonged break following the demise of creator Akira Toriyama. This latest chapter deviates from adversaries like Black Frieza to delve into a more playful narrative centered around Goten and Trunks. In this tale, we get insights into the origin of Saiyaman X-1 and X-2, as well as the catalyst that prompted Goku and Vegeta’s sons to don costumes and carry on Gohan’s legacy.

Head’s up! If you haven’t read Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 104 yet, beware – we’re venturing into spoiler territory ahead. Right from the get-go, Goten has been an ardent advocate for superheroes as world protectors. Enamored with the fictional crime fighter called “Clean God,” the youngest son of Goku and Chi-Chi endeavors to convince his friend Trunks to join him in this crusade but meets with little success. However, Trunks, the offspring of Vegeta and Bulma, isn’t exactly captivated by Clean God’s exploits, yet finds himself in a serendipitous position to learn about the potential benefits of becoming a costumed hero.

The Saiyamen Spring To Life

During the production of the movie “Clean God”, Trunks comes across a group of thieves who have been caught for stealing an expensive museum artifact. Dressed as villains from the film, these criminals aim to kidnap Trunks in order to make a quick getaway. However, they quickly learn their mistake when Trunks uses a strategic elbow strike to knock one of them unconscious.

Choosing to confront the thieves head-on, Trunks encounters an actor embodying the Righteous One. The enigmatic performer clarifies the purpose behind masked heroes: “Have you ever wondered why superheroes wear masks? It’s true they look stylish, but that’s not their only goal. They put on masks and conceal their identities to shield their dear ones from harm.” Witnessing the Righteous One’s impressive abilities, Trunk undergoes a transformation of heart.

Clean God’s Cleanliness Spreads

In this version, the character playing Clean God wasn’t anyone else but Gohan, who accepted the role as a kind gesture to Mr. Satan. Given Goku’s firstborn’s extensive background in superheroics, his conversation with Trunks now seems particularly meaningful. This brief interaction was pivotal for Trunks, leading him down an unexpected and amusing new journey within Dragon Ball Super.

As I bear witness, the moment Goten proposes donning costumes for vigilante duties, Trunks instantly jumps on board, eagerly crafting attires suited for their hybrid Saiyan identities. On the final page of the latest manga chapter, Saiyaman X-1 and X-2 make their grand entrance, keeping alive the legacy of the Z-Fighters with a dash of amusing masked heroics. If future chapters of Dragon Ball Super‘s manga are any indication, Goten and Trunks will undoubtedly play crucial roles when it resumes publication.
