Super Dragon Ball Heroes recently began a short promotional anime series that's had tons of fan service, but fans didn't expect it to last longer than the two episodes originally announced for the promotion.

Well, consider them surprised to find out there would be a third episode when a tease for it was made at the end of the second one.

Episode 3 of the promotional anime series won't be out until early September, and that might seem like a big bummer considering the short wait between the first two episodes. But the fact that there's a third episode at all is a big surprise as it wasn't part of the anime's initial announcement.

Episode 3 is titled, "The Mightiest Radiance! Vegito Blue Kaio-ken Explodes!" and the synopsis reads as such:

"The Evil Saiyan Kanba has now revealed his true form, and in order to face off against him, Goku and Vegeta merge via the Potara! They become the mightiest warrior Vegito Blue, and even let loose with the Kaio-ken!! Kanba counters by unleashes an amazing form."

If you're unaware of this cool game the anime is based on, Super Dragon Ball Heroes is the latest digital card fighting game and the top earner in the digital card arcade scene in Japan. Developed by Dimps, the update brought enhanced graphics and the ability to play as seven characters at the same time.

If you're waiting for more Dragon Ball Super instead, Dragon Ball Super currently airs its English dub on Adult Swim during the Toonami programming block Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m. It is also available to stream on Funimation and Amazon Video. The Japanese language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on Funimation, VRV, and Crunchyroll.

The first Dragon Ball Super film, now titled Dragon Ball Super: Broly, is set to release this December in Japan, and has released its first trailer. The film will focus on the Saiyans, the "origins of Goku's power," and has been confirmed to feature a rebooted take on the famous raging Saiyan Broly. The series will get a major makeover when its first film drops, and fans can thank Naohiro Shintani for that.

The beloved animator was brought in by Toei Animation to oversee the movie, and was approved by series creator Akira Toriyama. He'll be contributing to the film's script and character designs. Fans will get their first look at the new film during the Dragon Ball North America Tour and San Diego Comic-Con, as well.
