Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has become the biggest movie in the franchise thanks to its box office receipts, with the film taking the opportunity to focus on Gohan and Piccolo rather than Goku and Vegeta this time around. With the movie bringing back the Red Ribbon Army and throwing a massive curveball by giving anime fans a new version of the nefarious Cell, the Shonen film is looking to land in North America once again thanks to its Blu-Ray release.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero not only changed the game when it came to introducing anime fans to Gohan Beast and Orange Piccolo, the new names of the ultimate forms of the Z-Fighters starring in the film, but it also threw in a major event in the long-standing rivalry between Goku and Vegeta. The two main Shonen brawlers took a seat when it came to the fight against Gamma 1, Gamma 2, and Cell Max, training on Beerus’ planet while Broly and his friends looked on. During their sparring match, the prince of the Saiyans came to the realization that he needed to focus on not expending his energy, taking a cue from the Tournament of Power’s Jiren, and ultimately netting Vegeta his first win against Goku.
