Okay, buckle up buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the timeline of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Forget your fancy time machines, we're doing this the fun way!
Figuring Out the Placement - Easier Than Beating a Saibaman!
So, where does this movie fit? It's after Dragon Ball Super: Broly, that's for sure. Remember all that snowy, action-packed goodness? This movie takes place *after* all that hullabaloo.
Think of it like this: Broly was the grand finale of one season of Dragon Ball Super, and Super Hero is like the awesome premiere of the next! There’s been a bit of a time skip. Gotta let those Saiyans train, right?
The Clues are Everywhere (If You Know Where to Look!)
First things first, Pan. Remember Goku's adorable granddaughter? She's way bigger in Super Hero! It’s a clear sign some time has passed since we last saw her.
Plus, Goten and Trunks are practically teenagers! They’re finally old enough to start thinking about dating (much to Vegeta's horror, I'm sure). They're definitely older than they were even in the Tournament of Power.
And let’s not forget the state of the Red Ribbon Army. They're back, baby! But it took time for them to rebuild after Goku completely dismantled them… like, *decades* in-universe.
The Specifics: Let's Get (Relatively) Precise!
Alright, so we know it’s after *Broly*. But how far after? Most clues points to it taking place a few years later.
Think of it like this. If *Broly* was 2018, then *Super Hero* is hanging out somewhere around 2021-2022 in Dragon Ball time. That’s just an estimate based on character appearances and context clues. Basically, enough time for Piccolo to whip Gohan back into shape!
Why Does it Matter Anyway?
Honestly? Not much! Unless you're writing a Dragon Ball Z encyclopedia or something, you don’t need to know the *exact* date.
But it's fun to speculate, right? It gives us a better sense of the characters' growth and development. And let's be honest, it’s another excuse to talk about Dragon Ball!
Knowing the placement helps appreciate Gohan's newfound focus and Piccolo's dedication. You see how the characters have evolved since the last major arc.
The important thing is to enjoy the ride and not get bogged down in the nitty-gritty details. Just bask in the awesomeness that is Dragon Ball!
In a Nutshell (Or a Dragon Ball, If You Prefer)
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero happens a few years after Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Pan is older, Goten and Trunks are teenagers, and the Red Ribbon Army has made a comeback.
So, grab your Senzu beans, get comfy, and rewatch Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Because anytime is a good time for a Dragon Ball marathon!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to try and learn the Special Beam Cannon. Wish me luck!
