Full summary for Super Dragon Ball Heroes Episode 8: “The Ultimate, Worst Warriors Invade! Universe 6 Demolished!”

Spoiler:

Trunks and Vegeta continue their battle against Kamin and Oren. Oren looks down on Caulifla and Kale, and muses that maybe he’ll use one of the girls. Kamin thinks that’s a good idea, and says she’ll do so too.

Kamin and Oren dissolve their bodies into particles which rush into Caulifla and Kale. As the Saiyans’ hair turns white, Kamin and Oren announce that Caulifla and Kale’s bodies are now theirs. Hit warns Cabba they’ll be coming for them next. The possessed Caulifla and Kale rush in and attack with Crash Break and Smash Break, the signature attacks of Kamin and Oren.

Having blown back Cabba and Hit, Kamin and Oren set their sights on Trunks and Vegeta. After a skirmish, they reveal their origins as artificial life forms created by Tsufruian super science. However, those same Tsufruians feared their power and attempted to destroy them, which Kamin cannot forgive.

The battle resumes, and Trunks and Hit manage to lure Kamin and Oren into the air and restrain them while Vegeta charges a Final Flash. Before taking the brunt of the attack, Kamin and Oren abandon their Saiyan bodies. As everyone recovers, a large crystalline structure appears in the sky, knocking Vegeta and the others down with a shockwave.

From atop the crystalline structure, a mysterious man proclaims that the Universe Seed is now filled with energy. Vegeta asks who he is, and he introduces himself as the one who will defeat the Omni-King: Hearts. With this Universe Seed, referring to the crystalline structure upon which he stands, he will crush the Omni-King, the Kaioshin, and the Gods of Destruction underfoot. When he does, he will bring about true freedom for all mortals.

Vegeta asks if this destruction is what he calls “freedom” and accuses Hearts of being a hypocrite. Hearts agrees. He is! He then fires a cube into a nearby planet, seemingly crushing and converting it into energy. He lowers cubes onto Vegeta and the others, preparing to convert them into “nourishment” for the universe too.

Kamin and Oren protest. Trunks and the others are strong, so they can still play with them more. Hearts allows them to continue if they wish. He then turns to Hit and asks who Hit believes the strongest man in all the universes to be. Reading Hit’s mind, Hearts learns of Jiren in Universe 11.

Hearts prepares to depart for the next universe, and orders Zamasu, now present on the battlefield, to join them. Together, they can realize both their dreams. Zamasu agrees, but warns Hearts, as a mortal, to not issue him any more commands.

As the two look ahead to their visit to Universe 11, the scene shifts to Cumber staring down Jiren, in front of an unconscious Toppo.

Elsewhere, the Great Priest asks Goku if he’s ready. Goku, wearing an outfit matching the Great Priest’s, says he’s ready whenever the Great Priest is.

Next: Evil warriors run amok in Universe 11!

“Goku Revived!! Strongest vs. Strongest Collide!”

EDIT --

And preview text for next episode, which will go up on March 14:

Spoiler:

Jiren stands before Cumber, who has appeared and run wild in Universe 11. A fearsome battle unfolds between the two. Just then, Goku, whose whereabouts had been unknown, appears alongside the Great Priest.

I expected more from you Top

Isn't his name Toppo? I honestly did not understand what you meant before I went back to take a look at the screen capture.

They call him Top in the English dub.

It was a decent episode. I liked it. The previous one had action, but it was repeating itself. This one was a slightly more unique, counting out some re-used animation from the previous episode.

Plot-wise, I didn't like the fact that we missed Toppo's fight with Cumber. Damn, SDBH downgrades the characters' power a lot. Anyway, Hearts seems like a very promising villain.

Other than that, when, Zamasu appeared, I expected Trunks to react with some more rage and when Oren and Kamin stated their Tuffle origins to Vegeta, he could have said something like "and I am the Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta!" before smacking them around for a while.

Oren Caulifla and Kamin Kale look pretty cool but i'm still pissed of how their hair doesn't turn SSJ and they remain in base forms despite having white hair which is SSJ form.

I also absolutely hate how lazy they were creating this episode. Kamin and Oren doesn't turn into liquid but just disappear and turn into some stupid lights that just go into body like that (wtf). No liquid going through wounds. And in manga they were actually shown in liquid forms so it's simply laziness.

On the other hand, in manga Oren and Kamin were forced out of Caulifla's and Kale's bodies by simple punch which was pathetic. Here, they escaped their bodies to avoid blasts which was pretty cool.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

It sucks that actors like Rikiya Koyama and Takehito Koyasu were wasted on a Heroes anime. I would've preferred to hear them play larger roles in a Dragon Ball movie or a legit story arc, not a shitty promo anime.

[JulieYBM]

This was a fun episode, just like the previous episode. I love seeing the Sixth Universe again and I'm glad they had a longer battle. I do wish the production had more time and animators to be able to handle more extensive battles but the tension from Tomioka Atsuhiro's script and the music score really make this an exciting storyline.

It shouldn't be since it's just "pot" backwards. "Toppo" is no different than "Torankusu" but of course the majority of fans don't like to think and just follow what other people decide for them. Even if the spelling is official it doesn't make it "correct" if one wants consistency.

They did target their wounds.

It seems the date of the next episode was changed to March 7th.

[Polyphase Avatron]

I hate how they are making Hit into a complete joke in this series.

[goku the krump dancer]

Oh wow, for what its worth (which aint much) this was actually a good episode! the only problem is the stakes cant seem to get any higher than this, Goku training with the Grand Priest and Hearts wanting to over throw Zen-Oh is top of the totem pole. Daishinkan is presumably gonna teach Goku to perfect ultra instinct which could take away from this exact same concept should it happen in the series proper.

Really? Pretty sure the subs said Toppo. Did kanzenshuu.com go with Top? If so I learned something new.

[SupremeKai25]

I loved Zamasu in this episode. This so-called Hearts is a fool if he thinks he can give orders to the Supreme God. Just another pretentious mortal who doesn't know his place.

Lol, well said. To be honest, I kinda miss Goku Black...

[SupremeKai25]

I do wonder what Hearts is thinking. From what I've understood, he wants mortals to be free and yet he puts Zamasu in his team? Either he doesn't know what Zamasu did, or he has some backup plan should Zamasu go rogue.

Well he admits he's a hypocrite. Maybe he's going to go the whole 'if you're dead you're technically free' route.

Kanzenshuu did a whole podcast epsiode on it, it is pretty interesting:

[Hulk10]

The English dub calls him Top, yes, I've seen the dub and I agree with that statement. I also don't think Hit was made into a joke in the latest episode. He was simply up against extremely powerful opponents.

When Hearts said they were going after Jiren, I couldn't help thinking what a total fool Hearts must be. Jiren is stronger than a God of Desctruction and has probably trained pretty hard since the ToP so unless he has some sort of plan which I imagine he does, how could he possibly hope to beat Jiren?

Hit did better against Jiren in the ToP (when he was nerfed due to not being allowed to use his killing techniques) than he did against those two Tsufurian kids in DBH (when he was unrestricted).

Those Tuffle kids weren't technically living things, they were machine mutants so perhaps his assassination techniques were ineffective. And lets not forget that they may have studied Hit's techniques from afar and were thus better prepared. We also didn't see the whole battle between them and Hit.
