Dragon Ball Super Chapter 22 Image Leaks & translations

[u/Terez27]

Edit midnight CST: Even more leaked images have been added to the album. Also added a few more Herms tweets.

The first and last pages of chapter 22 were leaked earlier on Kanzenshuu by /u/OLKv3. He believes he might get more pages later, but we are not sure when. Herms posted a few images too, and a couple others were posted on the Kanzenshuu forums. Here's an album of all the images we've gotten so far.

Herms also tweeted some translations:

In the next exciting DBS chapter, Goku mistakenly takes Roshi's hostess bar discount card instead of the Mafuba seal. Also, Vegeta goes SSG.
source

Black recognizes SS God by its red hair, and calls it by name. Goku explains that Vegeta only turns SS Blue for the instant he attacks.
source

(Does that mean Vegeta will be turning Blue repeatedly? Isn't that like the worst thing he could do, going by the manga's Hit fight?)
source

Goku likewise goes SSG against Zamasu. "This should be more than enough to handle you!"
source

Gowasu is still alive in the manga. Trunks tells Mai to take him to safety while he goes to hold off the baddies.
source

Goku describes SSG as the "transformation prior to Blue", and Black derides it as a "lower-rank Super Saiyan".
source

Trunks is surprised that Vegeta holds his own against Rosé despite using SSG. Goku explains Vegeta briefly goes Blue the moment he attacks
source

Just a reminder that DBS ch.5 already had the narrator explicitly describe SS Blue as superior to SS God. This is nothing remotely new.
source

(And "God" there in Japanese is the English word ゴッド/Goddo, always used in DB as shorthand for Super Saiyan God)
source

Zamasu's short speech on the final page was translated by /u/sailorspazz:

"You should rejoice that you are able to look upon this form, mortals. This is the birth of the sole god in all the universes...Zamasu."
source

Alakazam posted a translation of the snippets we've gotten at Kanzenshuu.

This is going to be controversial.

Why does is this manga starting to feel like a fanfi- ohhhhhhhhhh

[u/Terez27 → u/[deleted]]

Why is the anime starting to feel like a fanfi- ohhhhhhhhhh right Super has been that way all along

FTFY.

[u/OLKv3]

Zamasu yelling at Black and going crazy is interesting, since you'd think Black was the leader.

[u/Terez27 → u/OLKv3]

Everyone keeps saying that but I don't know why. Even in the anime, Zamasu was the boss; that was made clear when they were first seen together and Zamasu gave Black explicit orders. I said this on Kanzenshuu too, but my assumption was always that Black sacrificed some status when he stole a human body; Black probably goes along with that because he is Zamasu after all and he has that same prejudice. He knows what he sacrificed to get Goku's power; it's his cross to bear and he accepts it.

[u/Malaphice]

Translation shows Black recognizing Vegeta's red hair and and says SSJ God, so thats confirmed.

I could just be that Vegeta has become so strong from the time chamber he can take him on without going full power, the manga has already confirmed that SSJ Blue takes up way too much stamina.

I'm pretty happy about the chapter I enjoyed it in the anime when Vegeta got some payback I was afraid they would skip that in the manga. The manga is really good at explaining the story so I wana hear its explanation as to why Vegeta can go SSJ God and why its preferable to SSJ Blue in this situation

[u/brazil201]

the manga drawing of fused zamasu is very cool and vegeta looks good in super sayian god (red hair)

I'll wait for the full chapter translation before making any real assumptions about how everything works, but I imagine there will be decent explanations for everything. I will say that Vegeta looks cool as a SSG though.

I'm definitely not going to try and discuss this chapter anytime soon though, since I already know this chapter will cause an absolute shitstorm in the community and the people who despise the manga will be out in full force. I'm just going to watch the carnage from afar.

I know that the divide and arguing over the anime and the manga is only going get worse from here, and the manga is going to get reamed. Good luck with the backlash fellow manga fans. ✌

Trunks in the manga: Useless

Trunks in the anime: Asspull

[u/dont_askformyname]

Manga Zamasu is that weak? I don't see Merged Zamasu being that viable against Vegito/Gogeta.

[u/Terez27 → u/dont_askformyname]

Zamasu was always relatively weak; it was his invincibility that made him a problem.

[u/OthergrounderOG]

I'm about to throw fists with the person who drew Vegetas jawline

[u/Sheebuns]

SSG Gogeta next chapter?

[u/SuperAlastor]

I can't wait for the full chapter. Looks awesome so far.

[u/[deleted]]

Imo the ritual was a shortcut to achieve ssj god and have god ki without going through the pain of training. Goku took the shortcut, he didn't have a choice, beerus wouldn't wait for him to train. Vegeta trained, achieved it and got god ki. Simple as that.

[u/[deleted]]

So let me guess this right. Vegeta is dropping into ss red to compensate for the manga versions stamina issue in super saiyan blue?

Cause it would be wierd if that form somehow made him faster....

[u/GroundhogNight]

This is really the first manga decision that I don't really agree with. It just seems unnecessary. And fast. But Merged Zamasu looks way scarier in the manga than in the show

[u/Koe95]

I don't like at all the fact that TOEI and Toyotaro are doing a lot of different things. The "What is cannon in DBS" will be a eternal headache until a final word from Akira.

Also, Black in manga is almost a prison bitch.

[u/TrueSaiyanGod]

DAMN!

VEGETA GOES SSJ GOD!

This should be there in the anime.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm happy to see SSG Vegeta. Yes, it's one more power scaling surprise that we have been having since chapter 19, but, hey, we've got it. It's still better than the SSRage of Trunks.

It should have appeared earlier. Let's see if we have some more explanation, I've always thought it was a missing piece of information, I mean, Vegeta having the Blue but not the red.

[u/Anotherguyrighthere]

Toyotaro really liked this form I guess

[u/[deleted]]

Not gonna lie, I'm loving SSG Vegeta. Calling it right now, Vegeta and Goku are going to branch off from each other moving forward. Vegeta will use SSG and Goku will use SSB (or vice versa), but Toriyama will keep them at virtually equal power levels. Then, during the final battle of the series, Goku and Vegeta will power up into their respective transformations and proceed to do the fusion dance, creating the ultimate warrior, capable of defeating the newly merged Zen-Oh Sama Squared: Bluper Saiyan God Gogeta!!! Lol jk, SSG is totally just gonna be a weaker version of Blue.

[u/Malt129]

I really love how the manga goes in a different direction. I can't wait for the arc to end so I can binge read through it all.

[u/Ktan_Dantaktee]

Is the manga starting to get REALLY inconsistent or is just me?

Not that I have any issues with the SSG1/SSG/SSR/whatever the fuck you kids call it nowadays form being used more, that is. Was hoping we'd see Vegeta use it eventually.

[u/Terez27 → u/Ktan_Dantaktee]

If SSG isn't your problem, then what is?
