May 22, 2022, 4:28pm

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is officially on call. In just a few weeks, the anime’s big movie will go live and revive the series after several years of silence. Piccolo and Gohan will lead the charge when the movie drops in Japan this June. And thanks to a special promo, fans have been given a new look at Piccolo’s CG design.

The photo comes from the team at Dragon Ball as its official website posted a behind-the-scenes still from the studio. The crew is still working on the film’s dub which means actors are finishing their lines. As such, this photo shows Toshio Furukawa recording in a booth, and there is a still of Piccolo overheard that we have never seen before.

The still doesn’t share any kind of spoilers about Piccolo, but it is nice to see a new take on Piccolo. The hero is seen in his purple gi in this shot, and its CG design doesn’t look overtly 3D. As more promos for Dragon Ball Super have gone live, fans have felt more confident about its CG aesthetic.

As you can imagine, fans are eager to see Dragon Ball Super‘s comeback in person, and it will drop in Japan soon. The film is gearing up for a mid-June debut before Crunchyroll brings the film stateside in August. So if you need more details on the film, you can find its official synopsis below:

“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.”
