Super Dragon Ball Heroes (anime)

Following the Tournament of Power, Goku, Vegeta and Future Mai are informed by a mysterious figure named Fu that Future Trunks is being held captive on a world called the Prison Planet, which is under control of Frieza’s brother Cooler. While there, they are confronted by the Saiyan criminal Cumber. After defeating Cumber and freeing Future Trunks, the events on Prison Planet was revealed to be conducted by the mastermind of Hearts. Hearts, who has recruited a cyborg version of Zamasu, reveal his plan to eliminate Zeno and his counterpart just before destroying the Prison Planet.

The surviving heroes safely make it back to Beerus’ world while Goku was rescued by the Grand Minister who decides to train him so that he can maintain Ultra Instinct. Hearts plants a "universal seed" on Universe 11 to drain it’s energy as he sends enemies across Universe 6 and 3. Vegeta, Trunks and the fighters of Universe 6 face against android siblings Oren and Kamin, who eventually fuse into “Kamioren” while Cooler, now transformed into “Meta Cooler”, fights against Cumber in Universe 3. The fight on Universe 6 is eventually taken to Universe 11. Goku arrives on Universe 11 with some control over Ultra Instinct. Vegeta manages to defeat Kamioren with his evolved Super Saiyan Blue. Realizing he can't defeat Hearts with Ultra Instinct, Goku convinces Vegeta to fuse with him into “Gogeta”. Gogeta, powered up to Super Saiyan Blue, delivers a final blast aimed towards the seed now infused in Heart’s chest, killing him. In his final words, Hearts explains that his true intentions were only to free all mortals from the Omni-King before congratulating Gogeta and the other fighters in defeating him. Elsewhere, a satisfied Fu declares that his next experiment is ready to begin.

In Universe 7, Beerus warns the Z Fighters of a bird that will destroy the multiverse. Fu arrives with his evil Doki-Doki, Togi-Togi - the prophesied Bird of Catastrophe - and explains his plan to create an entirely new universe using the “Universe Tree” he planted across the multiverse that was created from Heart’s experimental universe seed and then flees back with Doki-Doki. The tree on Universe 7 begins weakening its inhabitants including Krillin and Piccolo. Beerus raises a shield around the Tree to drain his energy instead despite not being able to do it for long. Fu recruits villains such as Turles, Bojack, Super Android 17 and Dr. W from alternate timelines. Turles and Bojack attack Goku and Vegeta in the main timeline while Dr. W collects Xeno Goku and Vegeta's energy to give to Janemba.

In May 2018, V Jump announced a promotional anime for Super Dragon Ball Heroes that will adapt the game's Prison Planet arc.[3][4][5] A teaser trailer for the first episode was released on June 21, 2018,[6] and shows the new characters Fu (フュー, Fyū) and Cumber (カンバー, Kanbā),[7] the evil Saiyan.[8] The first episode was shown at Aeon Lake Town, a shopping mall in Koshigaya, Saitama, on July 1, 2018, and was uploaded to the game's official website that same day.[9][10][11] Likewise, the second episode was shown at Jump Victory Carnival Tokyo Kaijō on July 16, 2018, before being uploaded to the website.[10][12][13]

The series was met with mixed reactions from Dragon Ball's fan base. Some criticised the promotional anime's confusing and monotonous storyline, Dragon Ball-unlike environment, and "power scale" which appears largely inconsistent throughout episodes and with the overall franchise. Others, however, acclaimed its animation and combat-only concept.[14][15]
