Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ★★★★☆

Happy Piccolo Day! To celebrate I watched the best Dragon Ball movie with some friends. Saw this for the first time last year and I was shocked by how good it was. I had never watched Super, the last Dragon Ball I had seen was Battle of the Gods and thought it was awful and thought that I had just outgrown the series, but this movie is everything good about Dragon Ball. It’s charming, funny and cool as hell.

Some highlights: Pan is really cute and the interplay Piccolo and her and the rest of Gohan’s family is great. Some people genuinely and reasonably believing a sinister conspiracy theory around Bulma, Capsule Corp. and all the aliens hanging around with her. Badman shirt cameo. Hedo being vaccinated against bullets. Piccolo having just forgotten that one of his powers is getting big and having to be reminded as well as him not even realising that he turned orange as as new super form and then not really caring about it and just naming it “Orange Piccolo.”
