"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" will finally hit the theaters in Japan this week. Fortunately, fans seem to have an idea of when it will be out in the U.S., thanks to the movie's poster.
Toei Animation has already said that it plans to release "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" internationally after it premieres in Japan, though it is yet to reveal an official release date. However, it looks like fans already have an answer for that after seeing the film's poster in Pennsylvania.
Comicbook noted Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment originally eyed dropping the movie in North America this summer and it would start in August. Then, Twitter user @trickthetem saw the film's poster at the AMC Neshaminy 24 theater in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, indicating the movie's launch in the U.S. on August 19.
Anime News Network even reported this claim. But, it remains to be seen if the said release date is true, knowing no one has confirmed when it will exactly be out in North America or other territories.
"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" is set to be out on June 11 in Japan. From there, it will start to be released in other countries.
Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will launch the film across North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. It will come with its original Japanese audio with English subtitles and an English dub.
Meanwhile, the film is set to introduce a number of new characters, though fans seem to be more excited to see Gohan back in action. Gohan has become an important part of the franchise after his legendary fight against Cell, per Dual Shockers.
He even managed to defeat Goku, Vegeta and Future Trunks with his incredible strength, making fans wonder if the movie will feature his character development. Fans are said to be disappointed after seeing Gohan being treated as a secondary character throughout the series.
By the looks of it, it will be finally changed in "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero," as seen in the movie's official trailer. It teased Ultimate Gohan's return and even the film's soundtrack hinted at what was about to come.
One of the said tracks has the title of "Gohan vs. Gammas," which seems to allude to Gohan and Piccolo's fight against the Red Ribbon Army. Another title seems to hint at the movie's return to Beerus' planet.
Elsewhere, the song "Gamma 2's Resolve" may also mean that Gamma 1 will lose the fight against Gohan during the first round. The second Android may join the fight to bring the Saiyan down, which may be the final battle in "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero."
