Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Episode 1

Ever wondered what the Dragon Ball universe looks like between world-ending threats? Well, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero starts by showing us exactly that! We're not thrown into a battle against intergalactic emperors right away.

Slice-of-Life Z Fighters?

Instead, we get a surprisingly heartwarming glimpse into the everyday lives of our favorite heroes. It’s like a sitcom episode with super strength. We see Gohan struggling with his studies.

He tries juggling superhero duties and being a good dad. Let's be honest, relatable, right?

And then there's Piccolo, who steals the show as the unlikely babysitter. Who knew the stoic Namekian had a soft spot for Pan? It's genuinely adorable watching him try to handle a super-powered toddler.

Piccolo: The Unexpected Dad

The best part? He's hilariously overprotective. He disguises himself to keep an eye on Pan.

Imagine Piccolo in a disguise, trying to blend in at a kindergarten pick-up. It’s comedy gold. This guy, once a fearsome enemy, is now fussing over juice boxes and playground safety.

He's even training Pan, making her do crazy exercise! Is he training her to be a Z fighter or an Olympic athlete?

The Red Ribbon Army… Again?!

Of course, it wouldn't be Dragon Ball without some sort of villainous plot brewing. The resurrected Red Ribbon Army is back, this time with some serious tech upgrades. They are not the force you remembered from the old days.

It seems like they still hold a grudge after all these years. Can't they just let it go?

The funny thing is, their attempts at being menacing are almost cartoonish at first. The contrast between their serious intentions and their slightly ridiculous methods is part of the charm.

A New Breed of Androids

The Red Ribbon Army introduces us to two new androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These guys are designed to be superheroes.

They have the design of superheroes. The twist? They're fighting for the wrong side. This sets up an interesting dynamic where our heroes have to face opponents who genuinely believe they're doing the right thing.

Gohan's Academic Woes and Superhero Struggles

Gohan, bless his heart, is caught in the middle of everything. He tries to balance his research with being a good father and a hero.

He is always neglecting his training. He gets easily distracted by his academic pursuits, much to Piccolo's dismay.

The episode ends with Piccolo sensing a growing threat. He knows that the Red Ribbon Army's plans are far more dangerous than they appear. The calm before the storm is about to break.

A Fresh Take on a Classic

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero's first episode is a refreshing change of pace. It reminds us that even the strongest warriors have everyday lives.

It is full of heartwarming moments and hilarious situations. The story also sets the stage for a new kind of conflict.

It's a fun, lighthearted start to what promises to be an exciting new adventure in the Dragon Ball universe. So buckle up, grab your Senzu beans, and get ready for a ride!
