When will Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero arrive on Crunchyroll?

As of this moment, Crunchyroll has yet to confirm when Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero will arrive on their streaming platform. They have not even confirmed the film as a definite streaming piece.

For now, you can pre-order the film on DVD and Blu-Ray from the Crunchyroll Store, for the price of $26.24. Pre-ordering ends on March 13, with the film shipping in later March.

It is still expected that the film will be released on the platform at a later date. There has been no word on whether the film will come to any other streaming services.

What is Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero about?

The film’s official Crunchyroll synopsis goes as such:

The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Individuals, who carry on its spirit, have created the ultimate Androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These two Androids call themselves “Super Heroes”. They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan… What is the New Red Ribbon Army’s objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!

The film is based on the long-running manga franchise by Akira Toriyama, who is also heavily involved in the film’s production, as he worked on the film’s original story, screenplay, and character design.

The film is directed by Tetsuro Kodama, and can be viewed both dubbed and subbed, featuring a range of talent for both the Japanese and English voice cast.
