“It is remarkable to me that Vegeta has become such a thoughtful fighter,” Sabat mused. “This movie is definitely an example of what his progress is. For the longest time, we always thought ‘Goku is literally training to be the angel,’ and Goku trained to be the destroyer. With this much peace and this much meditation in his mind, it’s really impressive to see what his next step is going to be. Akira Toriyama has done a wonderful job of making these characters evolve so much. I mentioned earlier, I love how annoyed Goku gets at Vegeta for actually focusing for once.”
Sabat elaborated on this characteristic and drew comparisons between Goku and his voice actor, Sean Schemmel.
“And it does remind me of Sean,” Sabat stated. “Sometimes he was like, ‘Chris, come on, man! Let’s go do something weird. Yeah, yeah. Let’s go do something weird. What are you doing? Just chill. Why are you working right now?’ It’s remarkable where these characters are going. While Vegeta may not have as much screen time as some of the other characters, he and Goku clearly steal the end of that film in the most hysterical way.”

“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. “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!”
