Following the death of manga author Akira Toriyama, fans were expecting the series to go on a hiatus. However, the manga series is set to release chapter 103, after which, the series will be going on a hiatus. Given that Akira Toriyama greatly contributed to the series, Shueisha and Toyotarou will likely have to come up with a plan for the manga series' future in his absence.

Such decisions are bound to take some time. However, after that, fans can expect the series to reveal its decision on who will write the story for the future chapters and other details.

As hinted at in the preview of chapter 103, the upcoming installment is set to end the epilogue of the SUPER HERO Arc. Hence, fans can expect future chapters to set up the new arc.

Considering that before the SUPER HERO Arc, the manga series introduced fans to Black Frieza, there is a good chance that the forthcoming arc will focus on the villain. Therefore, fans can expect the Saiyans, i.e., Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Broly to face off against Frieza.

In addition, Goten and Trunks' involvement in the current arc might indicate that they may play an important role in the upcoming story arc as well.
