Now that the Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga is over, the Dragon Ball Super manga just opened a brand new arc called the Granolah The Survivor Arc, introducing a brand new bounty hunter who was revealed to be working for a new group of space pirates known as the Heeters.
Chapter 44 of the Dragon Ball Super manga (You can read my review here) revealed that the Heeters have plans to use the power of the artificial being known as OG-73i. The Heeters known as Elec, Maki, Oil, and Gas are paying Granolah for his dangerous mission of getting OG-73i. The smallest member, Gas, is apparently the most powerful among the Heeters as he easily strikes down Granolah in the latest chapter.
In a post shared by Twitter user DBS Chronicles, we see our first colored official look at the Heeters introduced in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 44.
It's likely that they will play a pivotal role in the brand new Arc. The group name is a pun on "heater" which is presumably due to them being a rival faction of sorts to Frieza. The Granolah Arc might feature a showdown between the space pirates and Frieza's army.
The Heeters Army's appearance resemble Bojack and his henchmen, the other group of space pirates introduced in the ninth Dragon Ball Z film, Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. Bojack and his Galaxy Soldiers are not considered canon in Akira Toriyama's franchise, but it looks like the Heeters are the new version of villainous space pirates from the Z series.
What do you think about design of the Heeter Army? Do you think they are as strong as Bojack and his team from the Dragon Ball Z film? Do you think the Z fighters from Earth or Frieza's army will eventually battle them? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
