Super Hero Focuses On Gohan & Piccolo, Says Producer

[ad_1]

Series producer Akio Iyoku says the upcoming movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, will focus on the master-disciple duo of Gohan and Piccolo.

Series producer Akio Iyoku says Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will focus on Gohan and Piccolo. Goku and Chi-Chi’s half-breed Saiyan son, Gohan, was first introduced in Dragon Ball Z. Following Goku’s fight with Raditz, and the former’s first stint Other World, Gohan was trained by Goku’s former nemesis Piccolo, who became an unexpected father figure. As Gohan continued to chip away at his latent potential—from Super Saiyan 2 to Ultimate/Mystic—he became poised to usurp his father as the strongest Z fighter. Nevertheless, Dragon Ball Super once again sidelined Gohan, making Goku and Vegeta the primary focus of the series.

For most of Super, Gohan slacked off and relied on his outdated Super Saiyan transformations rather than his superior, Ultimate form when fighting. It wasn’t until right before the Tournament of Power that Gohan regained his Ultimate form while training with Piccolo. After the anime hit the pause button, the manga continued to concentrate on Goku and Vegeta at the expense of Gohan. Promotional material for the upcoming movie, Super Hero, implies that Gohan and Piccolo will play a major role in combating the Red Ribbon Army’s latest androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2.


On Twitter, DBSChronicles translated a statement given by Akio Iyoku at the Toei Lineup Presentation in Japan on Febuary 3. According to the producer, Super Hero will focus primarily on Gohan and Piccolo. Check out the tweet below:

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Gohan’s power level in Super Hero. At the end of Super, Gohan made a conscious decision to strive towards achieving a form unconnected to his Saiyan heritage—which is why he didn’t use Super Saiyan in the Tournament of Power. Super Hero’s story takes place a few years after Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Pan is now three years old, and Gohan has likely been training with Piccolo as evidenced by the Namekian garb. That being said, many fans have viewed Gohan’s decision to go Super Saiyan 2 in Super Hero’s trailer as a betrayal of Super’s seemingly redemptive foreshadowing. Merchandise has since revealed Gohan will also utilize his Ultimate form, which will presumably be more powerful than ever.


Iyoku also explained Super Hero’s title was chosen to convey the idea that « everyone [on Earth] is a hero. » By focusing on one of Dragon Ball’s most beloved relationships, Super Hero should see Gohan reach new heights. Iyoku previously teased that there would be more animated Dragon Ball releases this year besides Super Hero. Fans have long speculated that the Super anime will return, following the ongoing manga series. Super Hero, which takes place after the manga’s current arc, is scheduled to release in Japan on April 22. While the film’s producers have promised to dub it as soon as possible, it remains to be seen when the movie will make its way stateside.
