On November 20, 2023, the Bandai Spirits official Japanese YouTube Channel released a video featuring V Jump editor Victory Uchida, who enthusiastically discussed the highly anticipated Dragon Ball Super chapter 100. He teased unexpected events and exciting developments that fans can anticipate.
In the previous manga chapter, Orange Piccolo kept Cell Max at bay until Gohan could gather enough Chi to defeat him. When it appeared that Piccolo was defeated by Cell Max, Gohan transformed into his Beast mode and took control of the fight, ultimately unleashing a powerful attack with his Special Beam Cannon.

V Jump editor hints at unexpected developments in Dragon Ball Super chapter 100
The official Japanese YouTube channel of Bandai Spirits released a video on Monday, November 20, 2023, promoting new Tamashii Nations Dragon Ball figurines. The video was presented by V Jump editor Victory Uchida, who also promoted the Dragon Ball Super manga towards the end of the video.
The Super Hero Arc has been a reimagining of the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie. However, the editor has hinted at unexpected developments in Dragon Ball Super chapter 100. Victory Uchida has urged Dragon Ball fans to anticipate the next issue of V Jump magazine.

With that, the editor also promoted the 22nd volume of the manga, i.e., set to be released on December 4, 2023, in Japan.
What to expect from chapter 100?
The approaching chapter 100 is set to conclude the Super Hero Arc. However, there is a strong possibility that the manga will deviate from the ending seen in the movie. In the movie, Gohan's attack on Cell Max resulted in a powerful blast. Following this, Bulma enlisted Dr. Hedo and Gamma 1 into the Capsule Corporation.

Since the events are too brief for a whole chapter, it is likely that the next chapter will tease the next storyline. Before the Super Hero Arc, the manga had been publishing chapters from the Granolah the Survivor Saga. The Saga concluded with Frieza's arrival in his Black form, swiftly defeating both Goku and Vegeta. As a result, the next chapter may center on either Frieza or Goku and Vegeta.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming Dragon Ball Super chapter 100. The hints dropped by V Jump editor Victory Uchida suggest that we can expect some unexpected twists and turns, and I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us. I'm also curious to see how the manga will deviate from the ending of the Super Hero movie, as this could open up a whole new range of possibilities for the story.
Overall, I'm feeling very positive about the future of the Dragon Ball Super manga. The Super Hero Arc has been a lot of fun, and I'm excited to see what comes next. I'm also hopeful that the manga will continue to explore the characters and themes that make Dragon Ball so special.
