A familiar threat comes back reengineered in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, a 2022 Japanese animated feature directed by Tetsuro Kodama.

What is Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero about?

The Red Ribbon Army, an old enemy from Goku's earlier days, resurfaces with two newly built androids designed specifically to challenge him and the friends who have stood beside him through past battles. Their return forces a new generation of fighters into the spotlight, testing strength and strategy that were shaped by everything that came before. The film leans into that legacy, using the returning organization as a lens for how far its heroes have grown while keeping the stakes grounded in a direct, personal confrontation rather than a sprawling, cosmic-scale threat. It is built as a standalone chapter for longtime followers of the franchise, picking up its own thread within a much larger, ongoing story.

About the cast

The Japanese voice cast is led by Masako Nozawa, alongside Toshio Furukawa, Yuko Minaguchi, Hiroshi Kamiya, Mamoru Miyano, Miyu Irino, Ryota Takeuchi, and Aya Hisakawa, an ensemble drawn from the franchise's long-running roster of performers.

Context & significance

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero comes from Japan and belongs to the Action, Adventure, and Fantasy genres, continuing a franchise built on serialized battles and escalating power. At 100 minutes, it is a tighter runtime than many franchise entries, using animation to stage its confrontations with a scale and speed that live-action would struggle to match, and it holds a strong overall reception among viewers who have followed the series across its many films and television arcs.
