What happens

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Japanese: ドラゴンボール超（スーパー） スーパーヒーロー, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Sūpā Sūpā Hīrō) is a 2022 Japanese animated martial arts fantasy adventure film and the sequel to Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018). It is the twenty-first animated feature film in the Dragon Ball franchise, the second to carry the Dragon Ball Super branding, the first to be produced mainly using CGI animation, as well as the fourth and final animated Dragon Ball film to be produced under the supervision of franchise creator Akira Toriyama before his death in March 2024. In the film, Piccolo and his former student Gohan head on a mission to save the world from the newly reformed Red Ribbon Army. The film was originally set for release in Japan on April 22, 2022, but was instead released on June 11 due to a cyberattack at Toei. Internationally, including the U.S. and the U.K., it was released on August 19, 2022, in both English dubbed and subtitled versions. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero received positive reviews from critics with praise for its nostalgia factor, characterization, fan service, action sequences and humor. The film grossed ¥13.8 billion (about US$102.5 million) worldwide, thus becoming the second-highest grossing Dragon Ball film to date. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
