The next movie in the Dragon Ball universe, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero continues to reveal itself little by little. While it was originally supposed to arrive last April, its release has been postponed to next June in Japan. But this time frame allows the franchise to further teaser the future characters who will make up the film, as evidenced by these new images that have just leaked.
Synopsis, characters, date…
What do we know about the brand new Dragon Ball movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero which will therefore be released on June 11 in Japan (as far as an international release is concerned, this is scheduled for the summer of 2022, but without further details for the moment)?
This new film will feature a story that takes place several years after the events of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The film should focus on the relationship between Goku’s son, Gohan, and the one who trained him in his debut, Piccolo:
In the past, Goku destroyed the evil Red Ribbon Army organization. But their will survived! Now that they have resurrected, the RRs create new androids: Gamma 1′ and ‘Gamma 2’. Their revenge can begin. Piccolo soon notices this disturbing activity and sneaks into the Red Ribbon base. There, he discovers an unimaginable “ultimate evil weapon”… Little Pan is kidnapped in order to lure her father, Gohan, to the base. There, he too joins the fight, and an unprecedented super battle begins! Where is all this deathmatch leading? ! And what fate awaits the Earth?!”
The famous Red Ribbon Army, which was at the heart of the first dragonball so come back. And as such, we recently told you about a brand new antagonist, Dr. Hedo, who would be the next big villain of the film.

Beyond these forces of evil, new official visuals photographed in cinemas and posted on the networks present the characters of the film. If we already had an idea of their skin, through a promotional poster published on the occasion of the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2022 world event last February (the opportunity to notice that Son Goten and Trunks have grown up ), these new images allow us to know more about the other characters.
Thus, we notice the presence of Broly and his imposing muscles, Dende, who has also agedas Pan, who is now a spirited young girl. We also see a failed Gotenks, like in the days of Dragon Ball Z and the story arc around Buu. A clue seems to have been left in the poster above and the mispositioning of Trunks’ fingers when melding.
Gohan approaches him with a more serious air with this pair of glasses, but his battle dress as well as other posters of the film confirm that he will fight alongside Piccolo, his father as well as Vegeta to stop the threat represented by new androids, Dr. Hedo, and this mysterious machine at the heart of the laboratorywhich fans have speculated could contain Cell.
We will obviously have to wait until the film is released to be sure. let’s remember that Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be the first film stamped dragonball mainly based on 3D animation.
