New Dragon Ball Super Movie Trailer Spotlights Gohan and Piccolo

While Dragon Ball’s Goku could have saved the universe just a few occasions, he was additionally an absentee father. Sure, he was useless among the time, however that also left his son Gohan to be partially raised and skilled by Goku’s former foe Piccolo. But the 2 bonded—and that bond will probably be retested when the brand new Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero film comes out subsequent month.

Here’s the second trailer for the movie, which can concentrate on Gohan and Piccolo saving the world whereas Goku and Vegeta proceed their coaching some other place within the universe. It doesn’t clarify a lot, nevertheless it certain does look fairly:

The official synopsis solely partially clarifies issues: “The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Individuals, who carry on its spirit, have created the ultimate Androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These two Androids call themselves ‘Super Heroes’. They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan… What is the New Red Ribbon Army’s objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!”

For the document, the Red Ribbon Army was destroyed by Goku again in Dragon Ball, earlier than the Z, when the manga and anime have been extra of a comedy than something. Then, in Dragon Ball Z, an RRA scientist launched a wide range of killer androids, essentially the most highly effective of which needed to be put down by Gohan when he was only a child. I really don’t know why the Red Ribbon Army would make extra androids with the potential to explode the planet they’re all standing on, however all the army drive as soon as had its collective ass kicked by a small youngster, in order that they presumably have a little bit of a grudge.
