In the last chapter, things got interesting when Carmine and Soldier #15 teamed up with Saiyaman X-1 and X-2 to stop Son Gohan. Towards the end of the chapter, Goku makes a comeback on Earth after sensing Gohan's Beast Mode power, which he used to send the Red Ribbon Army packing.

That being said, with Cheelai's reminder about the looming threat of Black Frieza, Goku's return to Earth may trigger significant plot advancements, potentially involving Black Frieza making a decisive move, now that Goku is on the move once more. Fans can expect the protagonists' upcoming conflict with Black Frieza to be especially exhilarating.
