Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Review

So, the new Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie dropped, and let me tell you, it's a blast! Forget universe-ending threats for a hot minute; this time, it's all about family, giant robots, and... well, Piccolo getting a glow-up. Who saw *that* coming?

The Z Fighters Take a Backseat (Sort Of)

Goku and Vegeta are off training with Beerus, leaving Earth in the hands (or fists) of the next generation. Gohan and Piccolo finally get their chance to shine, and boy, do they. It's refreshing to see them take center stage and prove they're more than just sidekicks.

The Red Ribbon Army is back, because evil organizations never truly die, do they? This time, they've cooked up some new androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, who are hilariously convinced they're the good guys.

Piccolo's Time to Shine

Okay, let's be real: Piccolo is the MVP of this movie. He's not just babysitting Pan anymore; he's on a full-blown secret mission to protect Gohan. He even gets a new transformation, Orange Piccolo. Prepare for some serious namekian power!

The transformation scene alone is worth the price of admission. He looks like he's been hitting the gym, *hard*. Trust me, you don't want to mess with Orange Piccolo.

Honestly, who thought we'd see the day where Piccolo is sneaking around, using disguise, and being all sneaky and smart? He feels like a mix between a grumpy grandpa and a super spy.

Gohan Gets His Groove Back

Remember Ultimate Gohan? Well, he's back, baby! After years of neglecting his training (prioritizing studying, apparently), Gohan finally taps into his potential again. It's so satisfying to watch him power up and kick butt.

His new form, Gohan Beast, is seriously awesome. The white hair, the glowing eyes… it's the most intense and raw transformation we've seen in a while.

It really proves how powerful Gohan could be if he truly dedicated himself to training. Maybe this will be a turning point for him going forward.

Humor and Heart

The movie isn't all about epic battles; there's plenty of humor sprinkled throughout. Pan's antics are adorable, and the interactions between Piccolo and Gohan are genuinely heartwarming.

The Gamma androids are surprisingly funny, especially when they're trying to be evil and failing miserably. Their sense of justice is... unique, to say the least.

The movie never takes itself too seriously, which is a refreshing change of pace for the franchise. It's just pure, unadulterated fun.

"The animation style is definitely different, with more 3D elements. It takes a little getting used to, but it actually works really well, especially during the fight scenes."

The 3D animation really makes the ki blasts and special moves pop. It’s a bold move, but I think it worked out well in the long run.

Final Verdict

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is a fun, action-packed, and surprisingly heartwarming movie. It's a great entry point for new fans and a nostalgic treat for long-time followers.

It's not about saving the universe from some ultimate evil this time, It's about family, legacy, and Piccolo being the best babysitter/guardian ever.

Go see it! You won't regret it. And be sure to stay for the after-credits scene!
