The epic new Dragon Ball Z movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, shakes things up for veteran anime fans. Excitingly, the franchise has now imported android superheroes into its world, which spells trouble for the Z fighters. Even more significantly, the new enemies signify the resurgence of the infamous Red Ribbon Army.
The movie, whose title is derived from the most recent Z TV series, is on release in Cineworld cinemas from August 19th. It promises to advance the series mythology in dynamic new ways.
"This movie really asks some questions about, what is a superhero? What defines a superhero, and how can superheroes sometimes be misguided?" Piccolo and Vegeta voice actor Chris Sabat told Entertainment Weekly. "There's a big theme about what it means when a superhero isn't necessarily given the right information."
