Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to see Gohan and Piccolo teaming up to fight against two new androids in Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, with these combatants being created by Dr. Hedo of the new Red Ribbon Army. With the film set to arrive worldwide later this summer, the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki, is helping to celebrate the release by lending his artistic talents to the shonen franchise and drawing the two main combatants of Dragon Ball Z‘s Cell Games.

The return of the Red Ribbon Army is hinting at a major return, with spoilers arriving online thanks to the movie hitting theaters in Japan, though fans in North America still have to wait a few weeks for the film to hit theaters in the West to see what characters are making a comeback.
