'Dragon Ball Super' episode 71, 72 spoilers news 2016: Goku's death confirmed; Hit to kill Son Goku in a fierce battle

The most dreaded scene that fans do not want to happen will be featured in the upcoming "Dragon Ball Super" episode 71, titled "Goku Shiki! Zettai Shikko No Ansatsu Irai." Spoilers claim that Son Goku will die and Hit is responsible for the hero's death.

It is highly possible that Son Goku will face his demise in the upcoming "Dragon Ball Super" episode 71 due to the episode's title when translated to English. Two possible translations were seen from the Japanese title, which are: "Goku Dies! An Assassination Order That Must Be Performed" and "Death to Goku! A Hit-Job That Can't Be Refused."

Two translations clearly say that Son Goku will die and Hit will be the one to cause the fatal encounter. Furthermore, the assassination of the hero is revealed at the official synopsis of the episode, which reads:

"At someone's request, the strongest assassin in the universe mobilizes!! The target is somehow our very own Son Goku!! Will Goku be able to uncover the true identity of the assassin, and can he be triumphant against them?! Don't miss out on this heart-pounding, exciting development!!"

According to Inquisitr, the possibility of Goku's death is high since the story arc of Future Trunks has already been concluded. Hit seems like he is capable of killing Son Goku especially since during the last battle with Goku, he was seen holding back killing the latter as he was not allowed to kill in the tournament.

"Dragon Ball Super" episode 72, titled as "Counter-attack? An Invisible Assassination Skill!" will feature the battle between Hit and Son Goku. There is no official synopsis for the episode yet, but the title itself already gave away some hints.

Now, it is possible that Hit and Goku will start their battle in episode 71 and continue it in the next episode. This should mean that Son Goku will die, but this may be witnessed in "Dragon Ball Super" episode 72.
