This Thursday, August 18, the computerized animated film premieres in theaters Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, produced by Toei Animation. Among the people who received the opportunity to see some reference scenes, beyond the trailer, is the actor and streamer Luis Rivache, who is also a fan of the franchise.
What are the expectations? The basic components will be present: the evolution and growth of numerous familiar characters, intense action scenes, comedy, and new enemies. “I think it has all the ingredients,” says Rivache. “It has generated so much expectation due to the immersion of its creator, Akira Toriyama, who wanted to be involved in all the production processes, from the original idea, the script, the graphic line, the image quality and the continuity.”
The objective has been to maintain the essence of dragon ball, so the treatment is different from the films that preceded it. First, narration is faster than previous products (with its extensive dialogues and fights that seemed endless). Additionally, at least five new characters have been announced (so far) belonging to the Red Patrol, which had apparently been destroyed. “But it is said that there are still people who want to continue with that legacy. They, according to the synopsis, pose as superheroes, and They have developed two new androids, which call themselves definitive, Gamma 1 (Mark Winslow) and Gamma 2 (Alan Fernando Velázquez), that they could start conquering new fans, because we still don’t know their personality, but they remind us a lot of Number 17 (Genaro Vásquez) and Number 18 (Cristina Camargo)”, that were also key in the plot. “But I say that there is a bigger surprise that is going to leave us amazed; in anime, they don’t usually give us much in the trailer.”
Instead, something that remains is the timeline, “well superhero It is the continuation of its predecessor, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, and it can also be a middle story, before the end of Dragon Ball ZWell, there Pan (Gokú’s granddaughter) is four years old, and in this film, the girl is three. I also admire how they have been able to preserve the traits of the characters for so many years.”
What about Goku and Vegeta? They will be, says Rivache, who is also a graphic designer, but the happiest will be Gohan’s fans. “They are going to give Gohan a lot more prominence, who has had a lot of popularity since the fight against Cell, in which he showed his evolution and great power at an early age. Is there a chance that he will acquire a new power?” The fan thinks so, maybe this is the time for Goku’s son to advance to another phase.
How does the work of dubbing into Spanish look like for Latin American viewers? “Director Eduardo Garza has managed to fulfill the casting, with actors who have been part of Dragon Ball from the 1990s to the present, and I think (for Gohan’s actor) they made an excellent choice”, especially since he heard the proposal from fans on social networks. The actor Luis Manuel Ávila is also known for his role as Junior in the Mexican series The plush family. Something that remains to be seen is his interpretation of a special attack.
Final Warning: superhero It is not exclusively aimed at the nostalgic audience that saw the first series 30 years ago. It is a multigenerational and family film that also contemplates its next generation of followers, the children. “There is another type of narrative, much more comedic scenes, and this is super nice, because it will make it possible for families to go together.”
It is also important to see it through official channels. Both because it is the right thing to do, and because of the quality of audio and video, “and the mere experience that we can have on giant screens.” Rivache explains that the animators have tried to merge the techniques. “There are graphics in three dimensions and also the essence of anime in two dimensions.”
What about the action scenes? “The first impression is that there are good angles; at some point i played dragon ball fighter z, which has 3D graphics, but still appears 2D; they have done quite well in the game, and here in the film it is a plus, much better mastered”.
The great unknown Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is the music. “I’m in the same doubt as everyone, Could it be that they will use an iconic song with Adrián Barba or the version of Head Chala? We don’t know, because neither in the trailer nor in the previews have we been able to notice it, they have musicalized them as imperceptibly as they could. Maybe in the end they will give us two or three songs to please us all”, concludes Luis Rivache, who through his Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube channels promises a review without spoilers for those who still need reasons to see the film.
