Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
is a 2022 Japanese animated martial arts fantasy adventure film, directed by Tetsuro Kodama, produced by Toei Animation and written by Dragon Ball series creator Akira Toriyama. It is the twenty-first animated Dragon Ball feature film and the twenty-second overall, the fourth produced with Toriyama's direct involvement, the second to carry the Dragon Ball Super branding, and the first to be produced mainly using 3D animation.

Plot
Commander Magenta, CEO of Red Pharmaceuticals, seeks to revive the Red Ribbon Army previously led by his father Commander Red before it was ultimately destroyed by Goku over three decades prior. Magenta and his assistant Staff Officer Carmine seek to recruit Dr. Gero's surviving grandson, Dr. Hedo, a superhero-obsessed mad scientist who was released from jail after serving a lengthy sentence for grave robbing. Hedo accepts the offer, despite his initial reservations, after Magenta convinces him that Bulma's Capsule Corporation is an evil organization bent on world domination.
