Super Dragon Ball Heroes (Japanese: スーパードラゴンボールヒーローズ, Hepburn: Sūpā Doragon Bōru Hīrōzu) is a Japanese original net animation and promotional anime series for the card and video games of the same name. Similar to Dragon Ball GT, it is a manga-inspired installment of the Dragon Ball media franchise, created by Toei Animation instead of franchise creator Akira Toriyama. It premiered on July 1, 2018. Super Dragon Ball Heroes is presented with several alternate scenarios and possible outcomes within the franchise; taking place after the events of Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Super: Broly.[1] The series received mixed reviews.[2]

Plot

Following the events of the Tournament of Power, were supposed to be joined in their training on Beerus' planet by Future Trunks and Future Mai, who have returned to the present timeline in their time machine. Future Mai reveals that Future Trunks was captured by an unknown force, and a mysterious figure named Fu confirms that Future Trunks is held on the Prison Planet, a place under the control of Frieza's brother Cooler. Goku and Vegeta reach the planet with Future Mai, encountering their Time Patrol counterparts Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta who were sent to retrieve Fu before they are all attacked by a Saiyan criminal named Cunber. The resulting fight against Cunber destabilizes the planet, with Fu escaping capture as Cooler followed, the heroes managing to escape the self-destructing planet with Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta returning to their reality. But the event would be revealed to have been part of plan conducted by Hearts, who recruited Cunber and four other inmates (including a cyborg version of Zamasu) for his goal to eliminate Zeno and his alternate counterpart.

In May 2018, V Jump announced a promotional anime for Super Dragon Ball Heroes that will adapt the game's Prison Planet arc.[3][4][5] A teaser trailer for the first episode was released on June 21, 2018,[6] and shows the new characters Fu (フュー, Fyū) and Cumber (カンバー, Kanbā),[7] the evil Saiyan.[8] The first episode was shown at Aeon Lake Town, a shopping mall in Koshigaya, Saitama, on July 1, 2018, and was uploaded to the game's official website that same day.[9][10][11] Likewise, the second episode was shown at Jump Victory Carnival Tokyo Kaijō on July 16, 2018, before being uploaded to the website.[10][12][13]

Reception

The series was met with mixed reactions from Dragon Ball's fan base. Some criticised the promotional anime's confusing and monotonous storyline, Dragon Ball-unlike environment, and "power scale" which appears largely inconsistent throughout episodes and with the overall franchise. Others, however, acclaimed its animation and combat-only concept.[14][15]
