When Does Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Take Place
So, you're a Dragon Ball fan, huh? Awesome! But things in the Dragon Ball universe can get a little...timey-wimey. Let's talk about when Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero actually happens.
Imagine trying to plan a birthday party with Goku. Good luck figuring out a date that works with saving the universe. This movie fits into the timeline sometime after the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie.
The Peaceful Interlude
Think of it as a breather after all that planet-busting chaos. Super Hero finds our heroes enjoying a relatively peaceful period. Goku and Vegeta are off-world, training with Whis and Beerus, leaving Earth in capable (or maybe not so capable) hands.
Must Read
This peaceful time is key! It allows other characters like Gohan and Piccolo to get back in the spotlight. It is refreshing to see them taking center stage for a change.
A New Generation Rises
Pan, Gohan's daughter, is older. She's actually enrolled in martial arts training with Piccolo. It's super adorable and a bit alarming to see her potential so early!
This is after the Tournament of Power. Remember that crazy multiversal battle royale? Yeah, that's in the rearview mirror. Super Hero explores the aftermath and how everyone is adjusting to the slightly less apocalyptic norm.
Goten and Trunks are teenagers. Those little rascals are finally going through puberty! They are trying to be superheroes too, they even have alter egos and it's all a bit embarrassing.
Cell Max: A Blast from the Past (or Future?)
The Red Ribbon Army is back, with a vengeance. They're still obsessed with taking down Goku, even after all these years. It's like they haven't learned anything! They create a new android named Cell Max.
Cell Max is a bigger, meaner, and less chatty version of Cell. He’s kind of like Cell if Cell skipped all his personality development classes. It's a threat that forces everyone to step up.
This is where Gohan gets his chance to shine. He unlocks a brand new form, Beast Gohan. It's a total callback to his potential from the Cell Games Saga, but even wilder!
Piccolo's Wish: A Small Boost for a Big Guy
Piccolo gets a power boost too! Thanks to a sneaky wish on the Dragon Balls, he unlocks his own transformation, Orange Piccolo. He's massive, orange, and ready to rumble!
The wish Shenron granted him makes him younger. Who doesn't want to feel young again? Even a Namekian warrior wishes this.
The Timeline Placement: Think "In Between Arcs"
So, roughly speaking, Super Hero slots into the Dragon Ball Super timeline somewhere after the Broly movie, but before the events of the most recent manga chapters. It's a bridge, a glimpse into what our favorite characters are up to in their "down time."
Don't worry too much about the specific date and time. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the awesome fight scenes, hilarious moments, and heartwarming character interactions. After all, that's what Dragon Ball is all about!
Ultimately, the most important thing is enjoying the ride. From Gohan's epic transformation to Piccolo's strategic brilliance, Super Hero is a fun-filled adventure that reminds us why we love this franchise.
