Official "Super DB Heroes 2018 Promotional Anime" Discussion Thread

[thegamer23]

Hoping it will be subbed officially.

Yeah, it would be better an official sub but I don't see it happening for some reason. I think it'll be like Episode of Bardock when it streamed in Jump Festa.

I just want to know that how much episode this series will long?

Two episodes have been confirmed so far.

And is this series sequel of dbs or not?

It is. It takes place after Universe Survival saga.

No it is not a sequel of Super.
it's a just a promotional anime for Heroes Videogame.

So, everything is not canon.

[Super Saiyan God]

I see your point now, thats why its 2 episode. Thank you

[Grimlock]

Thank you for your respond but its hard to believe that new series is 2 episode also sequel of dbs. But thank you for respond

We don't know if there will be more or not. It could be just two episodes, or they could later confirm more episodes. It's just a matter of wait and see. And we don't know why it has been confirmed just two episodes.

No it is not a sequel of Super.

Yes, it is. Both Goku and Whis mention Ultra Instinct in the manga.

it's a just a promotional anime for Heroes Videogame.

So what?

So, everything is not canon.

You are right, everything is not canonical as this franchise has no canon at all.

[BlueBasilisk]

Excellent. I should be able to watch this before work in the morning.

[sangofe]

I didn't ask that question...

See this right here is what pisses me off. This is an internet-exclusive long commercial for a card-based video game using official fanfiction as it's story. It's set in a completely separate timeline without any of the versions of characters we're familiar with and will have no effect on the main timeline as it continues. Heroes is the equivalent of that JoJo book where the universe explodes thirty six times, Killer Queen is Kars's stand (who is also multiplied by 36 and lives on Mars) and Dio eats Jesus's corpse to become really strong.

You know what the actual, important story material for Dragon Ball is post-Super? The movie. Toriyama's working on it. Most of the anime staff are busy with it. It'll actually expand the story of the Goku we know instead of some other one, it's not just some online exclusive made to promote a card game, and it doesn't look like diarrhea. Even internally it's obvious what the actual important material is here. When people ask "is it canon?", they mean "is it in, or related to, the timeline we know?". And Heroes is neither. It's as far from either of those as any material in the franchise can be.

I'm so tired of seeing the "well there is no canon" excuse just to deliberately misinterpret someone's question for sake of propping up something as more important than it is. Nobody cares if the events of Heroes technically exist in an alternate timeline that exists within the same space as Super, they're wondering if they need to watch this stupid not-Dragon ball cartoon to understand what's going to happen next in the story. Goku's not going to make an entrance in Super's movie being all like "Man, that sure was weird how I fought that other version of me with red fur and a tail!".

[Koitsukai]

Where is everybody watching it? could someone produce a link or share a page?

[Bullza]

I haven't paid any attention to this and I have two questions.

1. This was supposedly going to be streamed online today? Where do I watch it?

2. How many episodes is it?

It's airing late tonight at 9 PDT. They're going to stream it here: http://www.carddass.com/dbh/sdbh/prison_planet/ And so far there are two episodes confirmed. The next one is airing on the 16th.

Ah thanks. So that's about 7pm for me. Is it going to be uploaded anywhere encase I or other people miss it?

It'll probably end up on the usual anime streaming sites right?

Edit: Or is just going to be permanently on that site afterward?

Hopefully it's going to be up on the site, but they haven't clarified yet afaik. Here's some more information: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbz/comments/8 ... episode_1/

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

Episode isn't working for me. Anyone have any luck watching it? It says it isn't available so I assume it's region locked.

No, the site is loading at a snails pace now. I don't know if everyone has swarmed to watch it that it's messed it up.

The link I was given above has this video attached but yeah it says it's not available.

There is no canon, but if there was this would be as canon as "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans". I'm looking forward to seeing it, if for no other reason than because it'll be a fun diversion until we get to the Super movie. Dragon Ball has always done entertaining out-of-continuity bits ever since "Curse of the Blood Rubies". The most recent two films are exceptions rather than the rule when it comes to that sort of thing.

Word on Reddit right now is that it is region-locked, but those that have seen it say it's 8-9 minutes. That's a bit disappointing, but suggests they could tell a full story in a half-dozen episodes.

[dbzfan7]

Well that was disappointing. I really wanted to enjoy a longer fight. Most of it was talking...and the fight was super short.

[Grimlock]

Oh god, the anime is beautiful! Got chills with Xeno Goku's appearance! This is just how a great outfit can impact on us viewers! Fu is wonderful as expected! Please give me more of him!

The only problem is that it's just 8 minutes long! Who the hell had the idea to make it so short!? We can't appreciate the events within such a short time, come on! Hopefully the second episode is at least 15 minutes long.

[dbzfan7]

So uh it's a free website thing posted on youtube....am I allowed to even link someone else who put it up....or no...not sure. It's on a free service like youtube...but also region locked....uh...I guess nothing since I don't want to break a rule.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

Well that was... something. Goku vs Goku was so damn short. Lots of talking throughout the whole thing. The only positives were that I like that they kept the filter from the Universe Survival arc and the OST was actually pretty good. Anyone know who composed it?

[jpranevich]

Just watched it! Not understanding Japanese beyond the occasional "Nani!?", I do not get the plot. Perhaps someone will so fan-subs later.

• I really like the theme song. Is this the theme for the game or did they compose something new for this?
• Were those Capsule Corp gis that the boys were wearing? How fashionable!
• How does Future Mai get to Beerus's planet anyway? I'd probably know if I spoke Japanese...
• Loved seeing SSJ4 Goku in hi-def, plus I really like his character design, especially that he's sporting a nyoibo. Shame we didn't get a "extend, nyoibo" (whatever it is in Japanese; you know what I mean...)
• I definitely get the "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans" vibe from this.

I'm hoping it will be 6-8 episodes of this length. Fingers crossed.

[Bullza]

I'll take the plunge. Here's a link to the full episode without region locking.
