Dragon Ball Heroes is a card arcade game that debuted in 2010 and was relaunched in 2016 under the updated name Super Dragon Ball Heroes. In addition to the ongoing video game, Super Dragon Ball Heroes has spawned a manga and anime series designed to promote and tie-in with the video game. Super Dragon Ball Heroes produced 56 episodes over six years before finally ending with the Demon Invader Saga. Dragon Ball DAIMA is set to be the next big chapter in the series and could very well benefit from the canonization of Heroes’ unique concepts.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a promotional series designed to sell a product, but the anime explores some genuinely interesting ideas and is responsible for creating (and fleshing out) some surprisingly deep characters. Although Heroes is best known for indulging in ridiculous battles between multiple versions of the same characters — like Super Saiyan Blue Goku versus Super Saiyan 4 Xeno Goku — the anime’s cast is its heart and soul. DAIMA should not miss this opportunity.
