History VideoGame / DragonballHeroes

The game allows the usage of many characters from the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise, as well as new characters and transformations, in 5-on-5 turn-based battles by using special trading cards made for the carddass arcade machines. It also lets you choose one of 21 avatar characters from 7 different character types (Male Saiyan, Female Saiyan, Majin, Namekian, Freeza Race, Android, Supreme Kai and Dark Demon God). The game has undergone several name changes over time, including ''Galaxy Mission'' (covering the first half of ''Anime/DragonBallGT''), ''Jakku Mission'' (focusing on the Shadow Dragon Saga from GT), ''God Mission'' (which seems to be mostly drawing from ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', ''VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse'' and ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''), ''Dark Demon Realm Mission'' (A new storyline feature characters from ''Xenoverse'' searching for Dark Dragon Balls), ''Universe Mission'' (a sequel to Future Trunks story from ''Dragon Ball Super'' that introduces Fu as a major antagonist, and continues the Dark Demon Realm storyline) and most recently ''Big Bang Mission'' (that continues the storyline with Fu). The game has been ported thrice to the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS as the ''Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission'' series and has four spin-off manga, ''Victory Mission'', ''Charisma Mission'', ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission'' and ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission''.

In late 2016, the game was updated to "Super Dragon Ball Heroes", which increased the size of battles to 7-vs-7, updated the graphics and added a lower touch screen for more input. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHAmFMzx3m4 Here is the first trailer of Super DBH]]. And as of April 2019, ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' has also been ported over to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} with the subtitle ''World Mission'', and was released worldwide.

** The Prison Planet Saga introduced Kanba/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Cumber]], an evil Saiyan so powerful that he can hold off the Super Saiyan Blues even in his base form [[WithMyHandsTied while in a metal straitjacket]].

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Besides all the gameplay examples, ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' starts off by pitting [[Anime/DragonBallGT Super Saiyan 4]] Xeno Goku against [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Super Saiyan Blue]] ''DBS'' Goku. [[spoiler:In the arcade game, it's close and he holds his own for awhile, but Xeno Goku tires out first and concedes that Blue is more powerful than him. In the anime, they're evenly matched and call off the fight when they realize the other isn't the enemy. In the manga, the fight gets interrupted but both were evenly matched. And now, during the story mission of ''World Mission'' Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta easily defeat their ''DBS'' counterparts, forcing them to fuse into Vegito Blue to avoid losing]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This game has one of the biggest rosters of any ''Franchise/DragonBall'' game to date, with over 300 characters not including transformations, that only grows larger with each update.

* LethalJokeCharacter: ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' added "Society Survival Saga" versions of the cast, from the 2017 AprilFoolsDay joke claiming the next saga of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' would be about the ''DB'' crew as white-collar office workers. However, these versions of the characters are just as effective in combat as the canon versions, making them [[BadassInANiceSuit Badasses in Nice Suits]].

** In the game, there's the Dragon Balls to collect to summon a dragon for a wish, either of the Earth, Namekian, Black-Star and Super varieties.

*** There are also Xeno versions of ''GT''[='s=] Shadow Dragons, who were born from the Dark Dragon Balls rather than the Black-Star Dragon Balls.

* AdaptationalBadass: Invoked as this is a fanservice game: Many characters get transformations they did not have in canon, such as almost every Saiyan Character getting Super Saiyan 3, Gohan and Broly getting Super Saiyan 4, Cooler getting a Golden Form (a gold version of his ''fifth form'', no less, as his CoolMask is just too iconic to pass up),Dabura and Towa becoming Demon Gods... the list goes on.

* PromotedToPlayable: Goku's mother Gine was first added to the game as a support character in SH2, then made a fully playable character in UM5 thanks to her appearance in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly''.

*** Mira has a "Rampaging" state and an equivalent to Super Saiyan, as well as his Towa absorbed "Final Form" from ''VideoGame/DeagonBallXenoverse2'' and a form having absorbed Fin.

There has also been numerous openings for the game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf_1Dzeurmk the latest of which can be seen here.]]

* AlternateSelf: The Time Patrol versions of the ''DBZ'' cast are this, coming from timelines other than the ones seen in the anime. For example, Xeno Goku's timeline includes ''Dragon Ball GT'' and some of the ''DBZ'' movies, but pointedly doesn't include ''Dragon Ball Super''. He underwent the Super Saiyan God ritual at some point[[note]]Though it's unclear if this means his timeline includes ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' or if he attained the form under different circumstances. However, it seems like he did met Beerus in his timeline and knows about Whis as well. Whis also commented something like "Have you trained by me in another history, Goku?" On the other hand, when Xeno Goku and other member of time patrol met an alternative timeline Zamasu, Xeno Goku or Xeno Trunks shows close to nothing reaction towards him which implies both of them have never met Zamasu before. [[/note]] but didn't internalize the energy, meaning his strongest form is Super Saiyan 4 and he didn't even know Super Saiyan Blue existed until he met canon!Goku.

** ''Super DBH'' added a fourth class of character, Special, who don't participate directly in combat but buff the rest of the team. These characters are generally non-combatants like Teen Bulma, Gine, and Zen-O.
** A second class of Special applies to giant characters who take their own turn fighting. This list includes all Great Apes, Hirudegarne, Anilaza, and Dr. Wheelo.

* {{Crossover}}: Luffy and Tesoro from ''Manga/OnePiece'' were added to the game as special bosses to help promote Film Gold.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Super Saiyan 4 is this for Xeno Goku and Vegeta, as the Supreme Kai of Time asked them to only use it in severe emergencies due to how powerful it is.

** Super DBH Mission 5 added a boss mission with Broly God from the ''Super Tenkaichi Budokai'' 4D movie.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The game's openings imply that your avatar is you sucked into the game.

* GottaCatchThemAll: There's currently over 3000 cards made for the game so far, with many of them being variations for the same character or transformation with slight differences in appearance and gameplay.
** In the game, there's the dragon balls to collect to summon a dragon for a wish, either of the Earth, Namekian, Black-Star and Super varieties. The first arc of ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' has the Time Breakers trying to recover the Dark Dragon Balls so Mechikabula can restore his youth and power, while the Time Patrol tries to stop them.

%%* KiManipulation
* KillTheGod: The goal of the Core Area Warriors (the villains from the Universal Conflict Saga) is to kill Grand Zen'o.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This game has one of the biggest rosters of any ''Manga/DragonBall'' game to date, with over 200 characters not including transformations, and it'll keep getting bigger with every update!
* LuckBasedMission: The game's gameplay is essentially turn-based battles with luck-based mechanics and stat boosting items to keep the fight going, also being able to summon certain characters to the battle if luck's on your side.

** A good deal of the content following ''Online'' is this, including Gravy and Putine (Demigra's allies during his previous attempt to conquer the Heavenly Realm), Mechikabura (Towa and Dabura's grandfather), Salsa (an ally of Towa and Dabura's), Shroom (the GrimReaper of the Demon Realm), Fin (a Majin Buu-like entity created by Towa), Time Patrol versions of the main Saiyan heroes, and Dark Dragon Balls which have the ability to merge with evil beings and power them up.

* PromotedToPlayable: Goku's mother Gine was first added to the game as a support character in Universe Mission 1, then made a fully playable character in UM5 thanks to her appearance in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly''.

** GoldenSuperMode: The Super Saiyan and Golden Freeza forms.

** The God Mission 9 trailer revealing ''Time Patrol Goku'' and ''Time Breaker Vegeta''!
** The final cutscene of God Mission 10 reveals that the Time Breakers have successfully revived Towa's powerful grandfather, Mechikabura.
** The teaser for Super Dragon Ball Heroes 8 shows Mechikabula assembling all seven Dark Dragon Balls and summoning Dark Shenron.
** The 3D trailer for Universe Mission features Super Saiyan Blue Goku fighting Xeno Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Beat turning into Super Saiyan Blue, and Future Trunks in prison.

** Most common is giving canon characters new levels of power. As of ''SDBH Universe Mission'' Set 4 (September 2018)...
*** Gohan (normal and Xeno), Broly, and Bardock have all achieved Super Saiyan 4.
*** Vegeta (Saiyan Saga, Majin, GT and Xeno), Trunks (Future, GT, and Xeno), Gogeta (regular and Xeno), Vegetto, Raditz, and Nappa have all achieved Super Saiyan 3[[note]]Xeno Vegeta and Gogeta have also been given Super Saiyan 4 forms, but they already achieved those in ''GT''[[/note]].
*** Xeno Vegetto can use Kaioken and Super Saiyan at the same time, something which ''Super'' said should be impossible. He differs from his canon counterpart by using Super Saiyan 4, since his component forms never achieved the godly transformations.
*** Xeno Goten gets the "Ultimate" potential unlock from the Elder Kai.

*** Demigra has a "Demonic Enhancement" form, resembling his normal self with elements of his monstrous final form from the first ''Xenoverse''.
*** Mira has a "Runaway" state and an equivalent to Super Saiyan, as well as his Towa absorption "final form" from ''Xenoverse 2''.
*** Towa has a "Darkness" form and (along with her brother Dabura) got upgraded to Demon Gods by their grandfather Mechikabula.
*** The Supreme Kai of Time has a "Power of Time Unleashed" form, where she [[DualAgeModes becomes an adult]] and gains a halo like Fused Zamasu.

*** Most of the ''DBZ'' movie villains (Garlic Jr., Turles, Lord Slug, Super Android 13, Hatchiyack, Bojack, Super Janemba, Broly, Hirudegarn and most of their henchmen) get Majin power-ups from Babidi and becoming "Kings of Destruction".
*** The Dark Dragon Balls conferred transformations upon the villains bonded with them: Cell became Cell-X from ''Online'', Turles went out of control, Janemba became an Evil Demon, and Lord Slug became giant and merged with the Earth itself.

*** Goku driven insane by Kanba's aura and becoming Super Saiyan Berserk.

*** Kid Buu can absorb Kibitoshin and Babidi; his Xeno incarnation can absorb Dabura or Xeno Janemba.

*** Baby can merge with Janemba or Hatchiyack.
** "Xeno" versions of canon characters. For the good guys (Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta, Bardock, Pan, King Vegeta) this means joining the Time Patrol alongside Trunks and the Supreme Kai of Time; naturally this also extends to their fused forms like Vegetto and Gotenks. For the bad guys, this means joining Towa's Time Breakers, either willingly (Dabura) or via brainwashing (Bardock, Vegeta, Paragus, Broly, Dende, and King Vegeta). ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' added a new spin on this with the Dark Dragon Balls scattering throughout time and merging with villains (Freeza, Cell, Kid Buu, Turles, Janemba, Lord Slug, Broly).
*** There are also Xeno versions of ''GT''[='s=] Shadow Dragons, who were born from Towa's Dark Dragon Balls rather than the Black-Star Dragon Balls.
