Not Your Silly Kakarot
Anime scooper Ken Xyro nails the clear difference in personality that Goku Xeno has. Not as silly as regular Goku - not sinister like Goku Black, but somewhere in between:

Xeno Fashion
As longtime Dragon Ball fans know, Goku's fashion choices are almost as important as his actual transformations:

SSJ4 Makeover
This fan feels like even the questionable transformation of SSJ4 looks better on Goku Xeno:

One Piece of Goku
This fan is holding up Goku Xeno to be THE version of Goku that we deserve - not the One Piece-style goofster from Dragon Ball Super:

Not My Goku
These fans clearly disagree with the ones above.

prevnextI just watched episode one of SDBH. God that was horrible.
Structured worse than a fanfiction, Xeno Goku is a terrible character, and the animation is incredibly boring and stiff.
1/10.

Animation Degradation
The Dragon Ball fandom is #Savage about animation quality - so they of course went in on some of the lackluster work on Hereoes:

Power Levels
In addition to transformations and fashion, Dragon Ball hinges big on setting and comparing character power levels. That said:

Cause I'm still Trying To Figure Out If CC Goku SSB Is Stronger Than Xeno Ssj4 Goku
Fun Fluff
This fan represents those who aren't taking this whole thing too seriously - which is probably the way to go when it comes to a non-canon promo anime series of shorts:
prevnextjust watched super dragon ball heroes aside of being a hyper expensive commercial, its fun, not really good tho, but fun :)
one other thing i love the contrast between xeno goku and DBS Goku ? pic.twitter.com/FQshnpNGLK

Top 3 Things to Improve Dragon Ball Heroes Anime (so far)
1. Change the runtime from 8-9 minutes to 22 minutes and pacing to a more adequate speed.
2. Make the animation more fresh and fluent instead of stiff like Xeno Goku v. Goku.
3. Explain plot points in the episode
