The Super Warriors Gather! is the calm before the biggest storm in the Dragon Ball Super manga: Volume 6 collects Chapters 29–32, the entire recruiting drive for the Tournament of Power. Universe 7 has forty hours to find ten fighters willing to defend its existence, and this volume is about who answers the call — including one name nobody wanted to say out loud.
What Volume 6 collects
Volume 6 collects Chapters 29–32. An exhibition bout against Universe 11’s Toppo raises the stakes, a certain Pride Trooper’s name starts to circulate, and then the book becomes a tour of Earth as Goku and Gohan assemble their team member by member. Each chapter is covered in depth on the chapter index.
- Chapter 29: Toppo, Universe 11 God of Destruction Candidate!
- Chapter 30: The Man Named Jiren
- Chapter 31: The Super Warriors Gather!
- Chapter 32: The Super Warriors Gather! Part 2
The story inside
Before the recruiting starts, Goku is given a measuring stick. Toppo of the Pride Troopers, a candidate to become Universe 11’s next God of Destruction, tests him in an exhibition match, and even holding that much power in reserve, Toppo warns that his teammate Jiren is stronger still. It is the first time the coming tournament has a face, and it is not a friendly one.
Then the gathering begins. Gohan steps up as team leader and shakes off his scholar’s rust. Krillin and Android 18 sign on as a married pair of veterans, Piccolo sharpens Gohan back into fighting shape, and Android 17 is found guarding his island from poachers, as stubborn and self-sufficient as ever. Master Roshi and Tenshinhan bring the old guard’s experience. But the plan has a hole in it: Majin Buu has fallen into a sleep he cannot be woken from, and with the clock running out, Goku flies to the one place he swore he never would — Hell — to offer the tenth place to Frieza, who accepts on terms that should worry everyone. The volume ends with ten fighters assembled and the arena waiting. The recruiting chapters double as a roll call of what each member actually brings — Roshi’s trickery, the androids’ limitless stamina, Gohan’s buried potential — and as a quiet warning that Universe 7’s survival may depend on its least powerful fighters, not its strongest.
Where Volume 6 sits in the series
Volume 6 follows Volume 5, which announced the tournament, and leads directly into Volume 7, where the Tournament of Power begins in earnest. All four chapters belong to the Universe Survival arc, and the book functions as that arc’s team-building prologue. Our volumes index places it in the full sequence.
