finally! Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was released in France on October 5th, much to the delight of fans of the saga! From what age can I see this animated film? We tell you everything!
After a long wait, French fans of Dragon Ball Super can finally enjoy a new feature film of the saga called Super Hero.
The film is a direct sequel to 2019’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly, which was a huge commercial success grossing $115 million (on a budget of $8 million). In France, the work attracted nearly 600,000 darkroom fans.
This time, the iconic heroes of the saga, Goku and Vegeta, are in the background, giving way to Gohan and Piccolo. The Red Ribbon Army was destroyed by Son Goku, but the individuals decided to revive it.
Thus they created the ultimate cyborgs, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. Self-proclaimed “superheroes”, they launch their offensive against Piccolo and Son Gohan. What is the purpose of this new Red Ribbon organization? Faced with this impending threat, it’s time for the real heroes to wake up!
From what age is this movie recommended?
AlloCiné recommends Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero for ages 8 and up. “Warning” sent to parents: scenes, words or images may offend the sensitivities of viewers.
Indeed, Dragon Ball features some brutal fights that might frighten or shock the youngest. Additionally, in Super Hero, some shots are seen exchanging gunfire, especially through the Red Ribbon Army boss.
Although the brutality of the fights is relatively toned down to avoid shocking younger viewers, Dragon Ball is still an anime that features confrontations and sometimes very long duels. Little ones can quickly become overwhelmed by the speed of the animation and the duels between the characters. That’s why I recommend the movie from the age of 8.
Should you have seen the other Dragon Ball movies?
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the second feature film in the Dragon Ball Super series, itself the third installment in the entire animated saga after Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
As with all films produced so far, this new opus does not need to have been seen before. The story features recurring characters in an original adventure independent of the main plot.
The Dragon Ball Phenomenon
The Dragon Ball phenomenon began in 1984 when Akira Toriyama’s acclaimed manga was first published in Shûeisha’s Weekly Shônen Jump, which became a major title during its decade and a half of publication.
Since then, the success of the manga has continued to grow, an incredible record – 260 million copies have been sold worldwide. With Dragon Ball’s ever-growing popularity, the series has expanded beyond the manga to include an anime series, movies, games, and merchandise.
Dragon Ball first came to France on television in March 1988 on TF1 at Club Dorothée. However, it wasn’t until the Dragon Ball Z installment in the early 1990s that the series took off and became a true phenomenon and one of the show’s flagship programs.
Many movies have already been released
Since 1986, there have been several animated feature or medium-length films related to the Dragon Ball universe. Among them are The Legend of Shenron (1986), The Devil’s Castle (1987), The Mystical Adventure (1988), The Pursuit of Garlic (1989), The Ice Robot (1990), The Fraternal Battle, The Menace of Namek (1991), Cooler’s Revenge, or One Hundred Thousand Metal Warriors (1992). ).
Note that there are other animated titles such as The Father of Songoku, The Story of Trunks or the lesser-known The Saiyan Eradication Plan and Dragon Ball GT: 100 Years Later, as well as live-action films (Dragon Ball, The Legend of the Seven Crystal Balls and the very poorly received Dragonball Evolution). Finally, there are also OAVs, including one about Vegeta’s brother.
To historical success?
With more than $68 million already amassed at the global box office, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to be just as big a hit as the previous film and its $115 million.
Will he manage to beat Broly’s account and his 574,713 viewers in France? Answer in the next few weeks!
