Without spoiling too much, there won’t be too many ramifications for the show that occur because of this movie, outside of a character or two that’ll likely play a role or a new form that we could see again after being introduced via DBS: Super Hero When Does Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Take Place?ĭragon Ball Super: Super Hero takes place after the most recent events of the Dragon Ball Super manga. Posters for the movie have also shown that Goten and Trunks –the sons of Goku and Vegeta– have entered their teenage years. Pan, last seen as a baby in the Dragon Ball Super anime, is now training with Piccolo. DBS: Super Hero seemingly moves forward in time with regard to the overall continuity in Dragon Ball. Goku and Vegeta’s conflicted rival Broly can also be seen in trailers which confirms that the movie is a sequel to 2019’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly, also written by Toriyama.

Toriyama was the one who made the decision to shift the focus to Piccolo and Gohan for this film and personally designed the new antagonists in the Red Ribbon Army as well as their vehicles and base. This is the fourth time Toriyama has had direct involvement with the development of a Dragon Ball movie that features an original screenplay and character designs. How do we know? Much like Dragon Ball Super: Broly and the previous two DBZ movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection: F, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has the seal of approval from series creator Akira Toriyama.
