The Chapters That Define Volume 24: A Full Plot Breakdown
The collected chapters in Volume 24 are not merely epilogues; they are a necessary bridge that validates the new power scaling and sets up future conflicts. Each chapter plays a unique role in transitioning the narrative from the *Super Hero* arc to whatever comes next.
Chapter 101: The Broly and Vegeta Rematch
The volume kicks off with the immediate consequences of the Cell Max fight. While the main threat is gone, the Red Ribbon Army’s remnants, specifically Carmine and No. 15, are seen grappling with their defeat, hinting at their potential return. More importantly, this chapter focuses heavily on the continued training of Broly under Vegeta and Goku on Beerus' planet. Vegeta, ever the rival, engages in a sparring session with Broly, showcasing Broly's immense, yet still-developing, individual strength. This training is crucial for Broly's character arc, as he learns to control his legendary power, a theme that carries through the volume. Goku also finally learns about Gohan’s massive new transformation, Beast Gohan, setting the stage for the inevitable confrontation.
Chapter 102: The Challenge is Issued
Goku, upon his return to Earth, is visibly excited by the news of Gohan's new power. A hallmark of Goku's character is his desire to test his strength against the strongest opponents, and his son's transformation provides the perfect opportunity. Goku challenges Gohan to a sparring match, which Gohan accepts. This chapter officially begins the highly-anticipated face-off. The scene is also used to bring Whis and Beerus into the conversation, with Whis encouraging Beerus to observe the match, further underlining the significance of Gohan's newfound strength on a cosmic level. The tension builds as the two Saiyan powerhouses prepare to clash.
The Epic Clash: Beast Gohan vs. Ultra Instinct Goku
The centerpiece of Dragon Ball Super Volume 24 is the extended, high-stakes battle between father and son. This fight is more than just a test of strength; it’s a philosophical clash of training methods and inherited potential. It is one of the most significant power-level discussions in the *Dragon Ball* community since the introduction of Ultra Instinct itself.
Chapter 103: An Inheritance to the Future
Chapter 103, often titled "An Inheritance to the Future," is where the fight truly explodes. Gohan unleashes the full might of his Beast form against Goku’s perfected Ultra Instinct. The battle is depicted with incredible detail by Toyotarou, showing both fighters pushed to their limits. A key takeaway from this chapter is Gohan's ability to control his power—a major evolution from his previous, rage-fueled transformations. By controlling his inherent rage, Gohan is able to further increase his power and even land a solid, impactful blow on Ultra Instinct Goku. The chapter strongly implies that Gohan's unique path, which taps into his ultimate potential without the need for divine training, is a legitimate, possibly superior, alternative to Goku's Ultra Instinct and Vegeta's Ultra Ego.
This chapter also includes a brief, but crucial, training session between Beast Gohan and Broly, where Gohan's calm, controlled power inspires Broly to seek a similar mastery over his own overwhelming strength. This interconnectedness of the Z-Fighters' power-ups adds deep topical authority to the volume, confirming that the new forms are not isolated events but part of a new era of power scaling.
The Future of DBS: Black Frieza and The Next Threat
While the focus is on the Gohan vs. Goku fight, the conclusion of Volume 24 subtly sets the stage for the next major conflict, specifically the looming threat of Black Frieza. The first search results mentioned that Volume 24 gives fans a fresh look at Black Frieza, although the specific chapter details focus on the Saiyan family. The volume’s overarching theme is the preparation for a threat even greater than Cell Max—a threat that Goku and Vegeta know is out there, waiting.
Chapter 104: A New Direction and The Superhero Duo
Chapter 104 provides a significant tonal shift, moving away from the intense power struggles to focus on the younger generation: Goten and Trunks. This chapter deconstructs the concept of a superhero identity, showcasing the boys' lives as the Great Saiyaman X-1 and X-2. The plot involves a movie production starring the "superhero" Clean God, adding a layer of meta-commentary on the superhero genre.
Crucially, the chapter also sees Goku and Vegeta heading off into space again, with Goku determined to find the next "strongest fighter" in the multiverse. This final scene is a powerful narrative device, signaling that the *Super Hero* arc is truly over and that the main Saiyan duo are back to their cosmic adventures, leaving Gohan to assume his role as a protector on Earth. This leaves the door wide open for the inevitable confrontation with Black Frieza and the introduction of a new, post-Super Hero arc.
