“The Red Ribbon Army was once destroyed by Son Goku. Individuals who carry on its spirit have created the ultimate Androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “These two Androids call themselves ‘Super Heroes.’ They start attacking Piccolo and Gohan … What is the New Red Ribbon Army’s objective? In the face of approaching danger, it is time to awaken, Super Hero!”
That’s so true! [Laugh]. It’s so true. Goku gets a lot of criticism, even amongst the comparisons between Goku and Vegeta as to who’s the better dad. But when people are arguing, I usually step in and say, “Actually guys, Piccolo’s the best dad because he chose it and he chose Gohan.” In many ways, Gohan saved Piccolo just as much as Piccolo saved Gohan, not just in this movie, but in the whole course of the series. If it weren’t for Gohan, Piccolo would probably still be evil.
So it’s very cool to be able to call them in to not only just work with them on a show and be able to absorb their talent into this experience, but it was really fun directing someone like Zeno, who I would explain something and he’d be like, “Bro, you don’t have to tell me. I know Dragon Ball! I grew up on Dragon Ball! I love this stuff!” And it reminded me how much I had to explain to people at the beginning, because Dragon Ball … no one knew about it in those early days.
You mentioned earlier just how overdue this kind of power-up for Piccolo was. What was your reaction when you saw the Orange Piccolo transformation for the first time? At that point the writers were adding some things about Goku letting go and that’s when he finally becomes a Super Saiyan, or something like that. And same with Vegeta, when the original translations were more along the lines of Vegeta harnessing rage. So I think at this point, for them to kind of get back to where that was, that was kind of weirdly prophetic. It’s looking like maybe the more relaxed you are, the more focused you are, the more zen-like you are, the more powerful you can become.
