Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Big Bang Mission!!! is a promotional manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitaka Nagayama, which originally ran in Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump magazine. The series adapts events from story lines original to the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game. Big Bang Mission!!! succeeded Nagayama’s own prior Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission! and Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!! series in the same magazine, and was itself subsequently succeeded by Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission!!!!, also by Nagayama.
Big Bang Mission!!! was announced in the March 2020 issue of Saikyō Jump at the conclusion of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!!, with the series beginning the following issue.
Big Bang Mission!!! was serialized before, through, and after Saikyō Jump‘s 2021 hiatus and publication refresh:
- The series’ seventh chapter was published in the magazine’s May 2021 issue (its last bimonthly issue before the hiatus);
- The series’ eighth chapter was digitally published for free during the hiatus on Shueisha’s official Saikyō Jump website;
- The series returned for its ninth chapter in the magazine’s September 2021 issue (at which point the page length per chapter was reduced, as the magazine returned to a monthly publication schedule);
- The series then ran to completion in the magazine’s March 2022 issue with its fifteenth chapter.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Big Bang Mission!!! received a collected print edition spanning three volumes.
Yoshitaka Nagayama debuted in a supplemental booklet packed in with the December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump, with “Dragon Ball Heroes: Rookie Charisma Mission 0” depicting the daily life and “training” of Engineer Yoshito and new Battle Navigators Tsubasa and Momo-chan in a cartoony style. The Charisma Mission series eventually received its own standard serialization in Saikyō Jump beginning in the July 2014 issue, followed by traditional story serials beginning with Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission! beginning in the September 2016 issue.
