A new arc for the hit anime series "Dragon Ball Super" has been leaked today. The news caught fans by surprise. The new "Universal Survival Arc" will be released on February 5th next year.

Just when everybody thought that the latest Dragon Ball Super storyline between Hit and Goku would stay a little bit longer, news broke out about leaked images of the "Universal Survival Arc". According to recent reports, Hit returning on the show as Goku's would-be killer will only be for a mini saga filler.

This image by Todd Blankenship (@herms98) which recently went viral on Twitter. According to the source, the wording on the image translates as "Universe".

This hints to a Multiverse Tournament that has been expected by millions of fans. Blankenship also stated in another tweet that "Universe - as in those things they have twelve of".

The image also shows Gohan in his Saiko no Senshi outfit and is wearing the same look he previously had in Dragon Ball Z when he reached the mystical level. This has been an answered prayer to most fans as they were hoping to see Gohan in this form.

According to reports, another favored character by the fans is said to make a comeback appearance. The photo on the tweet also shows several characters such as android number 17, A-18, Vegeta, Krilin, Majin Boo, Gohan (as mentioned above), Ten Shin Han, Master Roshi and Piccolo.

This sure does sound promising to the fans. If this indeed means a Multiverse Tournament, then it will be an exciting saga. However, it also means more threat and danger for the warriors and the universe. The title of the arc itself hints the chaos that's coming.

Seeing as "Dragon Ball Super" will not be airing until the New Year, January 1st, fans expect the multiverse tournament will most likely commence on Episodes 73 or 74. Although nothing about the "Universal Survival Arc" has been confirmed yet, all the clues and hints sure do lead to its culmination.
