Toei Animation hasn’t revealed an official synopsis or any important plot information regarding Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero as of yet.

However, Akiyo Ikoyu who is the director of the film from Shueisha has said they wanted to stress the fact that the movie is about the superhero spirit. 

Could this mean that Gohan’s alter-ego as a superhero, Saiyaman, will be returning?

Goku and Vegeta got the chance to shine in earlier Dragon Ball Super films, and, according to the information that Toei Animation presented at the Comic-Con panel, it’s very likely for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will also allow key characters such as Piccolo, Krillin, and Pan to shine.

Based on character concepts that have been revealed to date, it appears like the story for the next Dragon Ball Super film will be set shortly and in NYCC 2021.

It was confirmed that the film will occur after the events of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly film but before the day of the Tenkaichi Budokai Tournament.

Another picture of Krillin shows the Z-fighter wearing the police outfit, helmet as well as a hoverbike.

The panel also showed Akira’s original art the artist, which features new characters. The new characters are revealed to be the newly created androids Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.

Toei Animation has posted a poster of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero before this year’s NYCC 2021 panel of Dragon Ball Super, and the poster showcases the two new characters.

So so far, only Bulma, Kirin, Dende, Piccolo, Krillin, an adult Pan, Goku, Broly, Gamma 1, and Gamma 2 are confirmed to be characters in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.

However, we’ll encounter more familiar characters such as Vegeta, Gohan, and the rest of their companions on Earth. Below are some new character designs that were revealed during NYCC 2021:

At SDCC the studio also unveiled an important artwork by Toriyama which features an aerial view of a waterfall as well as Piccolo’s residence visible in the area however, the studio hasn’t disclosed the potential events that could take place in the area.

Based on the information provided, it appears like the home of Piccolo will be an important place in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. More information has been made public about Piccolo’s home.

A brand new photo that shows Pan as well as Vegeta was also released:

It was revealed that the NYCC 2021 panel that was slated for the show also revealed that Broly and the Red Ribbon Army and Broly will be a part of the plot in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. The trailer also showed the character of Pan’s Super Saiyan training.

The trailer’s first look also revealed Goku, Vegeta, and Buu were depicted as villains while being the Saiyan Prince wearing the “Badman” T-shirt.

The trailer showed the fact that Gohan will be in a thrilling fight with Gamma 1 in the rain, a scene that was rearranged for alteration at the last minute.

You can watch a short clip of dialogue in the film that features characters like Gohan, Piccolo, Gamma 1, and Gamma 2:

The video was uploaded by DBHype of Jump Festa. It seems like the movie will shine a spotlight upon Gohan as well as Piccolo as they attempt to take on the most deadly Red Ribbon Army androids so far.

Also, look over the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero V Jump Special feature of the March 2022 issue which summarizes the main plot of the film.

Why is the Next Dragon Ball Super Film Called ” Super Hero”?

As per Dragon Ball Super manga’s director of the manga Akio Iyoku, this movie will bring more “superhero feelings” than previous entries, and the creator Akira Toriyama is more focused on the superhero aspect of this movie. 

The Z-warriors of Dragon Ball are typically not depicted as superheroes in a traditional way, even though they have extraordinary capabilities, which is why the title has fans wondering what kind of film the movie will portray the “superhero feelings”.

There is a Z-Warrior who was in a role of a superhero during the time. After seven years of the Cell Games, Gohan embraced the superhero life by adopting the alter-ego of “Great Saiyaman”.

Piccolo and Pan. Two of the most significant characters in Gohan’s life have already been confirmed to be in the film, which means there’s a high chance the film’s “Super Super Hero” title is referring to Gohan’s return as his Great Saiyaman persona.

In December 2021, the poster for the film with the main characters from the film went out ahead of an event called Jump Festa 2021, which features Gohan wearing his signature purple gi costume.

Dragon Ball’s official Dragon Ball website also posted a blurb about Gohan’s biggest battle in the film.

With their capes flapping, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 are looking at striking some elegant poses! 

Additionally, there are new characters that we’ll need to wait to discover more about, regardless of how hard that may be! 

The man in his uniform, and occupying the center of the stage is Gohan who seems to be preparing for the battle of his life with Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, and Pan!

The blurb is clear the fact that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is superhero-themed. We are aware that Gohan has a super-hero alter-ego, known by the name of Great Saiyaman.

However, it seems like Gohan is returning to his roots, as Gohan is wearing a garish purple gi.

Dragon Ball Super Character & Who are the most important Characters in the Movie?

The official character descriptions for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero characters have been published to give us a better idea of what key characters the film will be focusing on. Take a look:

  7. Gamma 2 – The second of the brand new Android series designed by Dr. Hedo. He is dressed in blue caps and is often criticized by Gamma 1 for his slightly uninvolved behavior.

For those not familiar, Kusao is the voice of Kid Trunks as well as Future Trunks. The filmmakers behind the film haven’t yet officially announced the presence of any of the versions of Trunks.

However, the fans have been anticipating the possibility that Trunks who are from the timeline of their origin will appear. 

Because Pan and Gohan have been confirmed to be appearing on screen in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, it makes sense that the son of Vegeta will be in the film, and Goten is likely to be in the film too as he’s the favorite of Trunks.
