Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the next major chapter for the Z-Fighters, with the animated film focusing on Gohan and Piccolo rather than Goku and Vegeta for a change. With the Red Ribbon Army set to return with two new androids in tow, tickets in North America have gone on sale now, with the Shonen film set to arrive this August. If you’ve managed to avoid spoilers so far, you’ll definitely have more than a few surprises in store for the next chapter of the universe created by Akira Toriyama.

Tickets for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero can be bought on Fandango here, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for the return of the Shonen franchise to the medium of animation, following the 2018 release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Currently, Toei Animation has been tight-lipped about whether the television series for Dragon Ball Super will be returning in the future, though the creators behind Super Hero have confirmed that a new project within the universe of the Z-Fighters is already on the way.
Fandango’s official description of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero reads 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!”
While Super Hero might focus on Gohan and Piccolo taking on some new androids, Dragon Ball Super’s manga has continued to follow Goku and Vegeta as they fight against both Granolah, the intergalactic bounty hunter with an ax to grind when it comes to the Saiyan Race, as well as the criminal organization known as the Heeters. With the battle against Gas coming to a close in the latest chapter, the Shonen series has yet to reveal what the next arc of the manga will look like, though we are crossing our fingers that the effect of Super Hero will come into play in some form or fashion.
