Super Dragon Ball Heroes
スーパードラゴンボールヒーローズ
Synopsis
In May 2018, V-Jump announced a promotional anime for Dragon Ball Heroes, a Japanese arcade and trading card game. For Western players, the video game was also released on Nintendo Switch, while the card game was called "Dragon Ball Super TCG" in the West, merging with an existing Japanese card game under the same name. The anime, which was planned as a short series not broadcast on television, adapts the Prison Planet Arc from the game, as well as the manga-exclusive arcs "Big Bang Mission" and "Ultra God Mission." These storylines originally appeared in the Heroes manga in Saikyou Jump but belong to two separate canons. They have not yet received official English translations. The first episode premiered on July 1, 2018, at Aeon Lake Town.
Background
Episodes 1-50 featured 2D animation made by Toei Animation. For Episodes 51-56, the 2D animation was replaced with full 3DCGI animation by Dimps, using in-game models and assets from Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game.
