The Dragon Ball super manga is currently adapting the Super Hero movie and with the current release of Dragon Ball
chapter 96, the manga is one step closer in completing the movie. Dragon Ball chapter 96 is titled “Saiyamen, On the Scene” which takes place after the events of Chapter 95. In chapter 95, there was a decisive battle between the Gammas vs. Gohan and Piccolo. Piccolo awakened his new Orange form which was a gift from Earth’s Shenron.

Bulma-Trunks convo
This chapter starts off with Bulma and Trunks having a talk. Trunks reveal some secrets about Dr. Hedo to Bulma. Trunks and Goten have both opposed Hedo for some time now so Bulma is surprised they didn’t tell her. In Trunks’ defense, it’s because she stopped them from doing hero stuff. On Goten’s arrival, Bulma asks both of them to go help Piccolo. Not knowing where Piccolo is, Bulma seeks help from Krillin because Trunks is cant precisely detect Piccolo’s Ki.
Orange Piccolo
At the Red Ribbons army base, Piccolo now in his new form takes hits from Gamma 2 and isn’t even flinching. Orange Piccolo overpowers Gamma 2 with just one blow. Hedo and Magenta are in shock about this recent development in Piccolo’s strength. Magenta asks some members of the Red Ribbon army to fire at Piccolo with their guns but it’s useless like all other guns in the franchise.
Pan is attacked
Hedo, Magenta and Carmine witnessing Piccolo’s sheer power runs away. Pan goes after them defeating some of their guards with a single blow. Carmine who is Magenta’s assistant starts shooting at Pan which is just sad. Gamma 2 seeing this realizes who the actual bad guys are. Hedo created these machines to be good and fight for justice and Carmine shooting at innocent pan was just wrong. Gamma 2 shoots a tiny rock at Carmines arm obstructing him. Pan then one shots him. Piccolo stops Gamma 1 and Gohan from fighting pointing out that it was just a misunderstanding.
Magenta vs. Hedo
Hedo chases Magenta to another base underground with the intention of stopping him. Magenta plans on releasing Cell Max but Hedo is against that. Hedo tries convincing Magenta the Gamma’s are confused about who’s the good and the bad but Magenta shoots Hedo. Unfortunately for Magenta, Hedo modified his skin making it resistant to kinetic impact (or in simple terms, he became bulletproof). Magenta reveals he also did something similar with his own body and had to take off his shirt to prove it.
Magenta prepares to take Hedo on hand-to-hand but Hachiramu (Hedo’s mechanical bug) stings Magenta because his body will still be vulnerable to Hachimaru’s toxins. Magenta in rage (because of the toxins) accidently passes out starting the release process for Cell Max. Hedo tries to stop it but he isn’t able to.
Backup arrives
Goten, Trunks, Bulma, Android 18 and Krillin arrive in the scene. They meet the new Androids and the boys (Trunks and Goten) love their costumes or designs. This is because Magenta took inspiration from the Saiyaman X-1 and Saiyaman X-2 when creating them. Magenta when he was still being opposed by Saiyaman-X-1 and Saiyaman X-2 loved how they look which gave him the idea when designing Gamma 1 and 2. Another short talk was about Piccolo’s new form
Cell Max Awakens
This wholesome moment is interrupted by the release of Cell Max. Cell’s scream was so laud the Z fighters had to cover up their ears. They are shocked to see Cell Max with Krillin calling him a “giant version of Cell” Hedo tries fleeing from Cell Max but another scream basically sent Hedo ship crashing. The Gammas both go in search for Hedo in a dusty base but Cell Max attacks both of them. They clash with Cell but Cell is simply stronger. The z fighters decide to go join the fight. Gohan accidently loses a Senzu bean which was tossed by Piccolo. This chapter concluded with Goten and Trunks transforming to Saiyaman X-1 and Saiyaman X-2 going for Cell
Closure
I’ve already watched Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero so now I’m going to talk about some differences between the manga and movie counterpart while reading this chapter. In the manga, Trunks and Goten were a focus. The interaction between trunks and Bulma with Bulma requesting for his help wasn’t in the movie. Secondly, in movie, Hedo explained to Magenta why he shouldn’t release Cell Max, this was because his brain cell wasn’t completely developed but in this chapter, it wasn’t explained.
