The illustration, which will be included as a poster, recreates Gohan’s iconic Kamehameha at the end of the Cell Saga butfeatures Ultra Instinct Gokuand Beast Gohan.
The poster quickly drew attention from fans, who even wondered if that scene would be featured in the highly-anticipated Black Frieza Arc.

V-JUMP will also feature aDragon Ball Legendsillustration with Ultra Instinct Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, drawn by Toyotaro.
A “Certain Project” Is Coming
In addition to the illustrations, it was also revealed by editor Victory Asada thatV-JUMPwill reveal information about a “certain project” this month. It could be the announcement of the release date forDragon Ball Super Chapter 205, or it could be something else related toDragon Ball. While most fans were frustrated that the series will still be on hiatus during the 10th anniversary, they will surely be excited if the series finally resumes serialization. For now, we will have to wait until the magazine is out.
Information about a certain project will also be announced in this issue. You’ll just have to read V-JUMP for yourself to find out the details.
