In conjunction with this week’s various Shueisha publications, Toei has released the main visual for Dragon Ball Super‘s upcoming “Future Trunks Arc” set to air beginning 12 June 2016:

人造人間の脅威を振り払った未来の地球に新たな危機が訪れた！突如現れた一人の男が暴れ回り、人類を絶滅へと追い込む。未来のトランクスは抵抗するが、 超サイヤ人の力を以てしても「ブラック」と呼ばれるその男を倒す事は敵わなかった。未来のブルマは、過去世界の悟空やベジータの力を借りようと決意する。 半年かけてやっとタイムマシンの片道分の燃料を集めた時、ブルマとトランクスの前に、強敵「ブラック」が立ちはだかった！ With the threat of the artificial humans resolved, a new menace threatens the world of the future! A man suddenly appears and goes on a rampage, driving humanity to the brink of extinction. Future Trunks resists, but even the power of a Super Saiyan is no match for this man called “Black”. Future Bulma resolves to ask for help from Goku and Vegeta in the world of the past. After taking half a year to gather enough fuel for a one-way trip in the time machine, the formidable foe “Black” bars Bulma and Trunks’ way!

Pictured alongside Trunks is Mai, one of Pilaf’s two henchmen, previously seen in a budding relationship with the present-day Trunks (after having been accidentally wished back into a child) in the 2013 theatrical film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods; incidentally, this subplot was removed from the film’s retelling in Dragon Ball Super.

Mai’s voice actress, Eiko Yamada, recently commented on Twitter that she would be on the show “every week” beginning with episode 47:

Fuji TV producer Osamu Nozaki also provided a statement on the upcoming arc:

いよいよ始まる「未来」トランクス編は、これまでのドラゴンボール超（スーパー）の雰囲気とは少々異なり、宇宙規模の大ピンチ、さらに時空を超えた、激しくシビアな戦いが繰り広げられます！魔人ブウ、フリーザに続く、今度の悟空たちの敵は…なんと、悟空？ 謎が深まるばかりの新ビジュアルですが、ちょっとだけネタバレをすると、大人のトランクスの横にいるのはあのマイです。悟空やベジータも大苦戦が強いられる絶体絶命の連続の中で、未来か？来たトランクスとまさか（？）の大活躍をするマイにもぜひともご期待ください!! This “Future” Trunks arc that’s about to begin will feel a little different than Dragon Ball Super has up to now: a severe battle surpassing time and space, and putting the entire universe at risk! Following on from Majin Boo and Freeza, this time Goku and the gang’s enemy is… Goku? The key visual is pretty mysterious, but I will give one spoiler and say that the person next to adult Trunks there is Mai. During this nonstop series of desperate situations, with Goku and Vegeta forced into tough fights, expect to see Mai play a surprisingly major role together with Future Trunks!!

Dragon Ball Super airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. on Fuji TV in Japan. The “Future Trunks Arc” begins 12 June 2016 with episode 47, “SOS From the Future! A New Black Enemy Appears!!”
