The content of “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” is a rare part of the “Dragon Ball” storyline that does not feature Goku and Vegeta.

This absence is not affected too much by the shine of other potential characters like Gohan and Piccolo. The new plot of Dragon Ball Super (the manga adapted from the anime series Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ) officially began when Goku and Vegeta did not appear because they were undergoing rigorous training at Beerus’ planet.

As for Earth, Gohan and Piccolo will be the leaders to protect their home from the latest threat.

Throughout history, Dragon Ball’s content mainly revolves around the main character, Goku. Later, with the great development of the power scale, Vegeta was also invested more by the author and was always on par with Goku. However, other characters were not so lucky and had a huge power gap compared to Goku or Vegeta.

In the new content of Dragon Ball Super, the absence of Goku and Vegeta is an opportunity for other characters to shine. Chapter #91 of Dragon Ball Super introduces a new villain faction – the Red Ribbon Army – with a plot to dominate the world and avenge previous defeats against Goku.

Accordingly, Dr. Hedo, grandson of Dr. Gero, will continue to research and create powerful Android robots. To face this new threat, Gohan and Piccolo will be the two key factors protecting the Earth because Goku and Vegeta are in special training to confront Black Frieza. Obviously, this is an important and new step when they proactively change the success formula of this classic work.

In fact, having Gohan as the main character is not a new thing in Dragon Ball. Previously, with the Cell story or Majin Buu Arc, Gohan had space to express himself. However, this experiment did not last long enough to make a good impression on readers.

In Super Hero , this will not happen and the story will develop in a new direction without the presence of two famous Saiyan warriors to give other characters a chance to shine.

Alongside Gohan, who is known for his limitless yet unrecognized potential, Piccolo will finally gain respect and his powers will also drastically change.

Additionally, also in chapter #91, Piccolo is in a strong relationship with Pan. He continued to train and take care of the child like he did with Gohan. Readers can also see how much Piccolo cares when the Namek warrior severely reprimands Gohan for neglecting his daughter.

The plot of Super Hero revolves around Gohan and Piccolo. They could be great protagonists if they unleash their inner potential. The success of the anime will be a positive signal for Dragon Ball Super to develop more bold ideas like this.
