Every day we are closer to this moment of the franchise.
Decades have passed since Dragon Ball Z reached its grand finalethereby giving rise to the fact that after the defeat of Kid Buu we could see how chronologically almost a decade passed from the events that occurred on the planet of the Kaio Shin to the combat in which Goku faced Uubwho was the good-natured reincarnation of the aforementioned villain.
Given this, it should be noted that in between we are being able to see that the events of Dragon Ball Super occur, while in the manga and anime they have come to see clues to this. In fact, Uub was indispensable to be able to beat molo at the time a few years ago, while his fight against Goku is getting closer every day. Although, yes, first we will have to go through the current Superhero arc in which we have been able to see the best duo of Saiyans in the franchise.
Uub and King Chappa appear in a sketch by Toyotaro
Under this same premise, it must be said that Toyotaro, who is today the cartoonist of the Dragon Ball Super manga, has shared a sketch in which we can see that Uub is with his coach, who is none other than King Chapa, an old fighter that Goku faced in the 22nd edition of the World Martial Arts Tournament. In this way, although this does not canonize the relationship of these characters, it may be that in the future let’s see clues about these in the Dragon Ball Super manga itself.
In fact, in the dialogue Chapa tells his disciple that he should sign up for the World Martial Arts Tournament, which makes it pretty obvious, in case Pan’s age wasn’t a good enough indication, that we’re about to barely a year of seeing the end of Dragon Ball Z in Dragon Ball Super, it is a complete mystery if the franchise will continue after this event or stop here. Of course, whatever happens, at least we have been able to see one of the most controversial romances of Dragon Ball. For the rest, you can take a look at this sketch below:
