So there you have it: Planet Vegeta is making a comeback in Super Dragon Ball Heroes via the Fake Universe - which is also confirmed to be Fu's skewed mirror image of Universe 7.

This is pretty much the epitome of what Super Dragon Ball Heroes offers fans. Bringing back Planet Vegeta is a major big deal for the franchise, that raises all sorts of questions, and opens the door to all kinds of new developments. However, bringing back Planet Vegeta in the non-canon Super Dragon Ball Heroes promo anime is a way to generate buzz and discussion - without upsetting anything in actual Dragon Ball canon.

Vegeta being back on Planet Vegeta is a storyline that fans have been wanting to see, ever since Dragon Ball Super started introducing new alternate universes to the series. Vegeta vowed to visit Universe 6's Planet Sadala, which is the original Saiyan homeworld in Universe 7. The Universe 6 Saiyans are a very different sort - much more heroic and noble than their Universe 7 counterparts.

It will be interesting to see how Fu's Fake Universe recreates its version of Planet Vegeta. We already know that it will be inhabited by some of the more violent and evil Saiyans from Dragon Ball lore: namely Turles (the villain of Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might who looks just like Goku) and Cumber (the ancient "Evil Saiyan" Fu set against Goku and Vegeta in Super Dragon Ball Heroes' previous storyline. That does not bode well for what the rest of the new Planet Vegeta will be like.
