'Dragon Ball Super' episodes 71, 72 spoilers, predictions: Three new titles revealed; will Goku die?

(YouTube/Toei Animation)New episodes to air for "Dragon Ball Super"

December is a good month for "Dragon Ball Super" fans, as new episodes are set to air each week. The titles of episodes 70, 71, and 72 have been revealed, and they offer a glimpse into what lies ahead for Goku and his allies.

According to Gojitaaf, who revealed the titles on Facebook, episode 70 will air on Dec. 11. Titled "Champa's Challenge! This Time We Face Off in Baseball," the episode is expected to be a filler, which will see Universe 6 and 7 fighting it out through a baseball match.

The storyline picks back up with episode 71, titled "Goku Dies! Assassination order that must be performed." The title itself is certainly one that captures attention. Goku dying is something that is truly unexpected. It has been said that Hit, the most powerful assassin, will return with a target on Goku's head. It was also teased that the identity of the person who hired Hit to carry out the assassination will be revealed. The episode is set to air on Dec. 18.

Finally, episode 72 will be titled "Counter-attack? An invisible assassination skill!" The episode will air on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. The plot of this episode is yet unknown, but the title does imply that Goku may survive the whole ordeal with Hit. It is possible that Goku has a hidden trick up his sleeve that will serve as a counter attack against Hit.

It was also previously reported that some predictions for the upcoming episodes include an Omniverse Tournament happening, and Goku going out on his own, without Vegeta and Trunks, in search for more dragon balls. There is also talk of Vegeta possibly turning evil as a result of his jealousy toward Trunks, who ultimately killed Zamasu.

However, since nothing has been confirmed so far plot-wise, readers are advised to take this news with a grain of salt for now.
