Dragon Ball Hypes New Movie With Full Recreation of Piccolo's Cape

By Nick Valdez

Dragon Ball Super will be putting Piccolo front and center for the next major feature film, and the franchise is helping to celebrate Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero's release with a full recreation of Piccolo's cape in real life! The Dragon Ball franchise has been running for such a long time that fans have been drawn to many of the characters over the course of the series, and some artists have taken it to the next level with full on cosplay. Each has offered their own interpretation of how the series' outfits would look in the real world. and now Shueisha has offered an official one of their very own.

Piccolo will be taking the main brunt of the movie as he and Gohan will be the only ones who could help defend the Earth from some powerful new threats, and to help celebrate the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero's release the film had a special contest for fans in Japan where they had the chance to get a full recreation of Piccolo's cape. It includes the incredibly solid shoulders, and is just as bulky as one would expect to see in real life. You can check it out for yourself below from the film's official Twitter account: 

Thankfully it won't be too much longer before we get to see Piccolo and the other Z Fighters in action again as Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be hitting theaters across Japan beginning on June 11th, and will be officially hitting theaters around the world later this Summer. With an original story, screenplay and character designs from original creator Akira Toriyama, Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment officially tease Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero as such:

"The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Individuals, who carry on its spirit, have created the ultimate Androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These two Androids call themselves "Super Heroes". They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan…What is the New Red Ribbon Army's objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!"
