Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Run Time

Okay, let's be real. We're talking about Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Specifically, how long it is.

The Run Time: A Necessary Evil?

Clocking in at around 99 minutes, it's not exactly an epic saga, is it? Compared to some other anime movies, it feels...brief.

Is Shorter Really Sweeter?

Now, hear me out. I have a probably unpopular opinion. I think the run time is...perfectly fine. Maybe even...good?

Yeah, I said it. Don't @ me.

Think about it. How many times have we sat through movies that felt like they were dragging on? Filled with unnecessary filler arcs and drawn-out power-ups?

Dragon Ball has been known for stretching things out a bit in the past. Remember Namek? We all love it, but it went on forever.

Less Fluff, More Punch?

Super Hero gets straight to the point. We have the Red Ribbon Army making a comeback, two new androids causing chaos, and Gohan and Piccolo stepping up.

There's a clear narrative. The pacing? Snappy. The action? Explosive (duh!).

No wasted scenes of characters standing around screaming at each other for ten minutes. Well, maybe a little, but not excessively.

And honestly, after watching countless hours of Dragon Ball over the years, sometimes you just want a concentrated dose of awesome. Not a drawn out experience.

The Gohan & Piccolo Show

The focus is where it needs to be: on Gohan and Piccolo's development. Goku and Vegeta take a backseat, letting the younger generation shine.

This keeps things fresh and exciting. We get a change of pace from the usual Saiyan shenanigans.

We finally get to see Gohan unleash his full potential and show some real growth.

The Unpopular Opinion, Defended

Some people complain that it's too short. That it doesn't have enough world-building or character development.

But I think it's a deliberate choice. A way to tell a focused story without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.

We’ve had other Dragon Ball movies with insane run times. What we got here was a shorter one.

Think of it like a really good Dragon Ball Z episode, but with a movie budget.

"It's about quality, not quantity!" – Someone probably said this at some point.

Plus, let's be honest. A shorter movie means less time spent away from the snacks and more time to rewatch our favorite moments.

So, yeah, I'm sticking to my guns. The 99-minute run time of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero? A win in my book.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch Beast Gohan decimate Cell Max for the tenth time. Because it's awesome and doesn't overstay its welcome.

And that’s exactly why the shorter run time is perfectly fine!
