A lot has happened in recent chapters in Dragon Ball Super, so we’ll give you a brief recap as well as when you can expect Chapter 102 to be released, along with some fun speculation.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 101 left us on a great reunion we hadn’t even expected. As usual, Goku is totally unaware of how close things came to disaster, but this time he’s on the scene being surprisingly curious as the manga wraps up its coverage of the events of Dragon Ball Super Hero movie.

The question remains: when will the next chapter of Dragon Ball Super release? Worry no longer because we have an answer, along with a definitive date to mark on your calendars for when chapter 102 of Dragon Ball Super is heading our way.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 102 release date

We still have a little longer to wait for the next chapter of Dragon Ball Super, but we do have a definitive date to look forward to.

Chapter 102 of Dragon Ball Super will be released on February 20 worldwide on MangaPlus and Viz.

Japan, however, can expect the chapter on February 21 due to the time difference. Our hearts go out to all the Japan-based Dragon Ball Super readers.

What’s happening in Dragon Ball Super?

We’re currently at the end of the Dragon Ball Super manga covering the events of the Dragon Ball Super Hero movie with Carmine and Soldier 15 leaving Red Ribbon Army President Magenta’s funeral. In disguise as Saiyaman X-1 and X-2, Gotenks and Trunks interrupt their drive by stopping a robbery, displaying their fighting prowess.

Carmine recruits the pair to take out a “great villain,” not knowing he means Gohan. They tag along and take the pair to Gohan’s house, and Carmine attacks, setting off Gohan’s Beast form. Meanwhile, Goku, Vegeta, and Broly are training on Beerus’ planet, and Vegeta boasts about finally defeating Goku fairly in their fight during the events of Dragon Ball Super Hero.

Sensing an absurd power coming from Earth, everyone stops training. Gohan deals with the Red Ribbon remnants. Embarrassed that they’ve been tricked, Gohan gives the boys the business as Goku appears, greeting his family and Trunks.

Dragon Ball Super Chapter 102 speculation

Dragon Ball Super chapter 101 leaves us with a curious Goku arriving on Earth after Gohan shows off his Beast form to intimidate Carmine. It’s not out of the realm of possibility to think that Goku will want to try fighting against Gohan’s new form to size him up.

Now Gohan can’t access this form on command, it takes a lot of anger to trigger the form so maybe we can expect a training session incoming where Goku helps his son maintain this new form. This Gohan could gain the ability to access Beast Mode, leading to him finally being included in more fights instead of being sidelined. We’ll find out in the next chapter of Dragon Ball Super.
