That shot isn't really noticeable in the film though, unless you pause and zoom in to purposefully nitpick it.

There's a similar scene in Super though. With the dots on the eyes and weird face? Everyone chose that specific clip to laugh at and say Episode 5's animation is horrible. But it's also unnoticeable unless you pause it.

Yea, I don't think that was fair either. But there are a lot of bad shots in episode 5 that ARE noticeable in motion.

It's more like Son Gohan Super Saiyan 4.

There are. I'm not defending the bad in-motion animation. But it wasn't this apocalypse of animation that everyone claimed it was.

I have my own reasons for not wanting that to be real, or at least anything Super Saiyan God related (other than Vegeta), but it's Heroes 5th Anniversary this month. It's entirely possible Toyotaro could have drawn a 1-2 page mini comic or something for the event. Especially seeing how they have been hyping the "new hero" for at least a month now.

There are 2 DBH mangas: Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission, which is currently on hiatus, and Dragon Ball Heroes: Super Charisma Mission, which is still on-going on Saikyo Jump along with Dragon Ball SD & Dragon Ball Discross: Jinryoku God Max!!. Yoshito-kun is one of the main characters of the 2nd DBH manga, and he is also the one behind the manga (the real person).
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

My best bet would be Beers or Whis coming to collect the food coupon he tried to bribe Whis with or something Jaco-related (although, why he would go to Satan is beyond me).

We saw Jaco and Mr. Satan together in the intro for the show. My guess is that Jaco comes to Earth to change Mr. Satan in a fight. I do hope Mr. Satan will get a chance to try to fight Freeza.

Why would he do that out of the blue? It sounds completely random. Besides, those summaries make it sound like Jaco will be introduced when he visits Bulma later.
I'm keeping the theory that Whis is coming back after the bribe (and Vegeta ends up meeting him as a result), but we'll know for sure very soon.

Maybe the Galactic King sent him earlier to investigate "The Strongest person on Earth". Like in the DBO timeline, where Freeza's soldiers wait until Satan is dead to attack Earth because they were afraid of him being the strongest earthling.

Like Araki said, I think it's probably Whis as well. It would set-up Vegeta and Goku's training very nicely.

Jaco goes to Earth to look for the strongest fighter on Earth and he hears that Mr. Satan is the strongest human on Earth. So Jaco thinks that Mr. Satan can be helpful to fight Freeza. That's my lucky guess.

This is from the Heroes topic :

Also, in addition to the Super version of the Golden Freeza Arc, the new Towa/Mira stuff is the Hell Gate Attack Arc? (ヘルゲート進撃編)
What do you make of it ? you think it's the arc we'll get after u6 ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

The bad animation in episode 5 is noticeable without pausing. It looked like they had one of the animators that usually does super fast in-between shots and far away shots animate an entire scene, even when the characters were standing still and close to the camera.

I find it extremely unlikely Super will include anything from GT or Xenoverse.

What a lame video, so will Heroes start to spam SSJ4 as the same they did with SSJ3? Laughable

Of course they're going to spam SSJ4, they're not going to let their successful Heroes franchise die while waiting for Super to produce enough new content for them to use.

Isn't the whole point of Heroes "every character you could possibly think of, with every random form we can chuck at them, in a continual process of escalation"? It's not like it's a story-focused thing or will impact any main-storyline material at all; it's a card game, and this is entirely in line with that.

Heroes is pretty much Dragon Ball AF: The Video Game. I like how Heroes can do whatever they want without getting in the way of the new movies and TV shows.
