Super Dragon Ball Heroes – Episode 9 – A Power to Surpass Ultra Instinct?

This episode rolled around a lot sooner than I had been expecting. Yet I found myself excited to actually shove everything else aside and spend eight minutes watching it.

Looking back at my attitude regarding this series when it first started, I am amazed at how much I have flipped around on this mini series.

Despite the fact that the show seems to stray from its own premise almost right away.

Thanks to it’s silly starting premise and a very catching opening, I ended up watching the whole series so far in an evening and it quickly charmed me on a level I was not expecting. The overly dramatic nature of characters and their constant game of one-upsmanship against one another is offset by unexpectedly sweet it can be at times.
