Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was originally slated to hit theaters in Japan this month, telling the story of Gohan and Piccolo attempting to stop the nefarious machinations of the new version of the Red Ribbon Army and its newest androids. The Namekian and Hybrid Saiyan won’t be the only Z-Fighters that are set to appear in this new Shonen film, with Gotenks returning as well, as Goten and Trunks once again flub the fusion dance and create a much less powerful version of the fused being. Now, a publication has given us a new look at the hilarious character.
As fans of the Dragon Ball series know, the result of an unsuccessful fusion dance will create a skinny or overweight version of the desired character, with Goten and Trunks creating some wild variations when they originally were attempting to perfect the dance during the Majin Buu Saga. Obviously, it’s been quite some time since we last saw the sons of Goku and Vegeta attempt the dance, with the last time Gotenks made an appearance being during the Resurrection of F storyline, so it’s no surprise to see that Goten and Trunks aren’t able to pull off the perfect version of the fusion dance.
Twitter User Renaldo_Saiyan shared this new advertisement for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie, giving us a hilarious version of Gotenks who has yet to appear in any actual footage for the upcoming Shonen film that will see Goku and Vegeta sitting on the sidelines to train off-world alongside the legendary Super Saiyan Broly:

The new release date for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to arrive in theaters in Japan on June 11th of this summer, though a North American release date has yet to be revealed at this point. Originally, the next chapter in the lives of the Z-Fighters was set to arrive this summer in the West, though with the delay caused by the Toei Animation hacking attack, it hasn’t been confirmed whether this will still be the case or if the return of the Red Ribbon Army in North America will be pushed back as well.
Do you think Super Hero will actually give us the perfect version of Gotenks, with Goten and Trunks getting their act together? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Dragon Ball.
