Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Promo Reveals New Behind The Scenes Look

Dragon Ball Super is getting ready for the launch of its next major feature film in just a few more days across Japan, and a new look at Dragon Ball Super: Super has given fans a behind the scenes look at how one of the fights came together! The next major feature film in the franchise will be the first new release in Dragon Ball Super in for long years, and it will also be the first fully CG animated project in the franchise overall. That means it’s been quite a curious release ever since it was announced, and especially so for how it all came together.

It’s a major undertaking for the team at Toei Animation as fans will get to see the franchise in this wholly new way while offering the next step in the anime franchise’s story. But much of the excitement will be for how the fights will turn out with the new project as well. Giving fans an idea of how one of the fights between Gamma 2 and Piccolo came together, the official Twitter account behind Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero shared a storyboard where it’s revealed that the impact wording was indeed inspired by American comic books. Check it out below: 

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!”

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will be hitting theaters in Japan on June 11th, but has yet to confirm its official international release date. It’s been confirmed that it will be launching in North America later this Summer, so thankfully it won’t be too much longer before we get to see in full how each of these fights actually works out. But what do you think? What are you hoping to see from the new movie’s fights? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
