Dragon Ball Super Super Hero In Theaters

Remember when you thought Dragon Ball couldn’t possibly get any weirder? Think again! Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is here, and it’s a wild ride.

The Z Fighters Take a Back Seat (Sort Of)

Goku and Vegeta are off training with Whis, leaving Earth's defense in slightly less spiky hands. This time, it’s all about Gohan and Piccolo! And let me tell you, it's a refreshing change of pace.

Imagine your dad is off on a business trip, and your grumpy babysitter is suddenly the only one who can save the world. That's kind of the vibe we're getting here.

Gohan's Glow-Up (Finally!)

For years, we've seen Gohan's potential teased. He gets bursts of power, then goes back to being a scholar. But this time? He unlocks a brand new form, dubbed "Beast Gohan"!

It's like he finally embraced his inner Saiyan. Think librarian by day, ultimate warrior by night.

Piccolo's Not-So-Subtle Masterplan

Piccolo takes on a somewhat unusual role. He's basically playing matchmaker, pushing Gohan to train and unlock his hidden abilities. It's surprisingly heartwarming!

He kidnaps Pan to motivate Gohan, showcasing his… unique teaching methods. This might be the most Piccolo thing ever.

The Red Ribbon Army Returns! (Again!)

These guys just don't learn, do they? The Red Ribbon Army is back, and they're as comically inept as ever. But this time, they've got fancy new androids.

Dr. Hedo, the grandson of Dr. Gero, is a self-proclaimed superhero fanboy. He builds Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, believing they are true heroes. Their motivations are... complicated.

They are somewhat confused about who the real villains are.

Android Antics and Superhero Poses

The Gamma androids are a breath of fresh air. They have cool designs, cool powers, and a charmingly misguided sense of justice. They really believe they're doing the right thing!

Expect plenty of superhero poses and over-the-top pronouncements from these guys. The film even has a somewhat saturday morning cartoon type feel.

A Few Laughs Along the Way

Dragon Ball is always good for a few laughs, and Super Hero delivers. There's plenty of slapstick, quirky dialogue, and moments of pure absurdity.

Think of Vegeta struggling with a training simulator, or Piccolo trying to blend in with normal people. The humor helps to balance out the intense action.

The character interactions are hilarious, especially the interactions between Pan, Piccolo, and Gohan.

A Celebration of Family

Beneath all the action and energy blasts, Super Hero is about family. Gohan's love for Pan, Piccolo's dedication to his protege, and even the complicated relationships within the Red Ribbon Army all contribute to this theme.

It's a reminder that even Saiyans have feelings. Who knew?

Ultimately, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a fun, action-packed, and surprisingly heartwarming adventure. It's a great movie for fans and newcomers alike. Get ready to witness Gohan and Piccolo take center stage, and to laugh along the way!
