Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to see some big changes for some of the Z-Fighters, with Piccolo and Gohan fighting on the front lines against the return of the Red Ribbon Army. While the movie has already hit theaters in Japan, the movie will arrive around the world this August and Twitter is getting in on the action via new emojis that help in celebrating the strongest Namekian of Universe 7, who just so happens to be getting a new transformation in the upcoming film.

Piccolo, like many characters in the history of the Shonen franchise, began as a villain but eventually was brought to the light side, specifically forming a relationship with Gohan following the death of Goku during their fight with Raditz. While there was a brief period during the Cell Saga where the Namekian became the strongest Z-Fighter in the world, handling the first form of Cell and standing toe-to-toe with Android 17. As the Red Ribbon Army is slated to return, Piccolo is stepping up to the plate with Gohan to take on new androids, with a mysterious villain looming large behind the scenes.
Twitter Outlet DBS Hype shared the news that Dragon Ball fans could now post a number of Twitter Emojis, with the Emojis themselves sporting the new form of the Namekian that appears to be created thanks in part to Piccolo unleashing his potential, as Gohan and Krillin had done previously:
Originally, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was set to hit theaters in Japan in April of this year, but due to the hacking attack on Toei Animation, the Shonen movie had to be pushed back. With the film set to hit North America, and the globe, there are plenty of spoilers that are hitting the internet when it comes to new characters and transformations that have been added to the Shonen universe created by Akira Toriyama.
