No, Chapter 96 of Dragon Ball Super is not on a break this month and will be released as scheduled.

2. Raw Scans and Leaks

The drafts of Dragon Ball Super manga chapter 96 are now available, and they effectively follow the story almost precisely like the Super Hero movie. It just adds a few more conversations that provide more context for what’s happening on screen.

Piccolo remembers Shenron talking about “throwing in a bit extra” as he falls down the gorge. The chapter cuts to Trunks, Bulma, and others discussing what had just occurred.

Everyone’s face turns pale and astonished, even Dr. Hedo and Gamma. Yes, they are astounded by Piccolo, who has now transformed into his Orange Piccolo form and appears much more terrifying than before.

When Gamma 2 notices this, he jumps forward and begins punching him, but it has no impact because Piccolo doesn’t even move from his position. The drafts then end as we see Piccolo’s tight fist raise in the air. Those of you who have watched the film know what comes next.

3. Chapter 96 Discussion

Toward the end of the chapter, we see that Shenron has good news for them. He tells Piccolo that he has been given a more potent boost than he thought. This means that Piccolo will soon transform into a stronger being.

The next chapter of Dragon Ball Super will see the new transformation of Piccolo into Orange Piccolo. This can be termed as a beast version of the man.

After his transformation, he will be able to take on both the Androids at the same time. While defeating them would still be difficult, he will bring them down so that Gohan can make the next move to save his daughter.

4. Chapter 95 Recap

Chapter 95 of Dragon Ball Super primarily revolves around the intense confrontations featuring Gohan and Piccolo. Gohan’s main objective is to rescue his daughter, Pan, who is currently held captive by the Red Ribbon Army.

Gamma 1 chooses to enter the fight to hinder Gohan’s advance, ending in an intense battle. Gamma 1 boasts significant power, and being an Android, he has been mainly designed to counter an extensive range of adversaries.

Furthermore, being an Android, he never gets tired, and despite Gohan’s constant strikes, he stays fearless. He boasts that he still has more than 80% of his battery life left, which is a disadvantage for Gohan, who, as a Saiyan, would ultimately exhaust his energy no matter how vigorously he battles.

Nonetheless, Gohan unleashes a stunning barrage of strikes on Gamma 1. This chapter treated fans to a prolonged battle between Piccolo and Gamma 1. Piccolo, initially disguised as a member of the Red Ribbon Army, stepped in when Gamma 2 joined the fight on Dr. Hedo’s orders.

Recognizing that Gohan would be overwhelmed, Piccolo summoned his newly discovered strength once his potential had been awakened. Piccolo surprised fans by holding his own against Gamma 2, throwing devastating strikes on the Android, and matching Gohan’s ability in combat.  

Surprisingly, Piccolo recognized that the Androids were not entirely villainous. He sympathized with their lack of freedom, as they unquestionably followed Dr. Hedo’s orders. Towards the end of the chapter, it became evident that Gohan and Piccolo were not powerful enough to overcome the Androids.

Despite their attempts, they would be beaten because they lacked the strength to overwhelm their opponents and the stamina to fight protracted conflicts. Although Piccolo was vanquished despite having unlocked his full power, the situation became bleak as Gamma 2 chose to give the fatal blow.
