Fans of Dragon Ball Super are buzzing with excitement as Toyotaro hints at upcoming intense battles, continuing the legacy of Akira Toriyama. Recently, Toyotaro issued a warning that Son Goku will face an extremely severe challenge from the next character to appear in the manga, which is none other than Black Frieza.
Although the official release of the Dragon Ball Super manga is still pending, Toyotaro’s hints suggest that the story is gearing up for powerful developments. This warning was cleverly articulated by Toyotaro during an interview following the release of Volume 24 of Dragon Ball Super.
Volume 24 Cover of Dragon Ball Super Brings Exciting Hints
The cover art of Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 is particularly eye-catching. It features Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Broly. Each character showcases their current power state, including Ultra Instinct, Ultra Ego, Beast Mode, Orange, and Controlled Super Saiyan, which highlights the intensity of their recent battles.

Toyotaro emphasizes that this warrior is currently at an extremely high power level, making it difficult for anyone to compete with him. However, one character stands out above all: Black Frieza.
“I have never worked so slowly on a cover before, so I didn’t think I could spend much time on another cover like this. Additionally, the upcoming cover featuring Black Frieza, who possesses a significantly high power level, is currently the focus. I have already considered what will happen next, so I will try my best to deliver it to everyone soon,” Toyotaro shared in an exclusive interview with the official Dragon Ball website.
Toyotaro’s remarks have raised considerable concern among the fan community. The fact that Black Frieza has reached such a high status and is described as having a “worryingly” strong power level compared to the strongest warriors in Universe 7 indicates that he has attained a completely new level of strength, far exceeding what Goku and Vegeta have previously encountered.

The Return of the Dragon Ball Super Manga?
Currently, the Dragon Ball Super manga is in a state of “hiatus” on Manga Plus, leaving fans increasingly anxious for its return and eagerly awaiting the battles between Goku and Black Frieza. Will Goku be able to overcome this challenge, especially when the stakes are higher than ever? The answer is expected to unfold when the official manga resumes.
