Gohan is not the only one set to take stage in the movie, but his daughter Pan will also play a major role. She will be training with Piccolo, attempting to become a stronger fighter herself even though she’s only three-years-old during the events of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Over on Twitter, user DBS Hype tweeted a look at the back cover for the Dragon Ball Super Volume 19, which features a new look at Gohan, Videl, and Pan during the time period of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.
While Gohan takes center stage in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the son of Goku hasn’t appeared much in recent chapters of Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou’s Dragon Ball Super manga. The manga’s current arc, Granolah the Survivor Arc, is coming to an end, and Shueisha hasn’t revealed any details about the next arc, so it’s still unclear when the manga will bring Gohan back. Toei Animation hasn’t announced any plans for the anime’s return, but you can read more details about the potential Dragon Ball Super Season 2 here.
