Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 14, 2023. The film features an English-language dub and original Japanese-language with English subtitles. [26] After defeating Majin Buu, life is peaceful once again. Goku has taken a completely new role as a…radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can't get too comfortable. Far away, a powerful god awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of a formidable being. Can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?" Afterward, the Granolah the Survivor Saga will commence, which will pit the Saiyans against a formidable bounty hunter who’s gunning for revenge. These two sagas completely cover the manga up till the latest chapters, and if we were to take the assumption above about Dragon Ball Super: Season 2 being 60 episodes long into account, it does make sense as these parts of the story will easily be covered in that number.

Crunchyroll also announced that the movie will be available for worldwide streaming on its service on July 12, 2023, with subtitles available in 11 languages and 9 languages with dubs.
