Dragon Ball Super Episodes 70, 71, And 72 Spoilers

The aforesaid episodes of Dragon Ball Super will feature some interesting turn of events as a new villain makes an appearance in Dragon Ball Super episode 71, according to recent spoilers reported by News Everyday. DBS episode 70 entitled, "Champa's Challenge! This Time We Face Off in Baseball", will be the final filler episode before this happens. Nevertheless, showrunners warrant an equally entertaining episode 69 and 70.

The villain, who will make his first appearance in Dragon Ball Super episode 71, is said to be the one who actually planned out Goku's assassination. There's also hearsay that the mystery rival is none other than Hitman Hit. It can be recalled that previous Dragon Ball Super spoilers indicate that Hitman Hit will be the one to put Goku away.

Despite Goku's huge popularity, fans of the ongoing anime series are interested in finding out how exactly Hitman Hit will bring his plans to kill Goku into fruition. An epic rematch showdown between Hitman Hit and Son Goku will happen on Dragon Ball Super episode 71 and 72, Inquistr reported. Following the lighthearted and fun Dragon Ball Super episode 70, the show is likely to lean towards a "darker plot" --- starting on DBS episode 71, which also marks the return of Yamcha on the show after his death in the Saiyan saga.

Fans have mocked his character, which is probably why Dragon Ball Super creators have reintroduced him as a baseball player and not as a fighter in the current series.
