If you can’t get enough of your favorite anime series, you might be wondering how to watch Dragon Ball Heroes in the US, given that they weren’t released on television. Don’t worry, we got you.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a video game that uses a turn-based card game battle system. In support of this release, Dragon Ball Heroes is a promotional, non-televised web series, which was first live-streamed on the official Dragon Ball website in July, 2018. Events of the series take place after the events of the Universe Survival Saga in which features Goku and his youngest son, Goten.
Dragon Ball Heroes are seven-minute-long episodes that intertwine many of the Dragon Ball universes, exploring several alternate scenarios and are full of fanservice, so they’re super fun and entertaining. Because they aren’t televised, they don’t have English subtitles, but viewers can still very much enjoy them if they don’t speak or understand Japanese. Here’s everything we know about how to watch Dragon Ball Heroes in the US for free.
How can one watch Dragon Ball Heroes in the US? Dragon Ball Heroes is available to stream for free on the show’s official website. However, to watch the show in the US, Americans will need a VPN, a service that allows users to set their computer’s location to another country and access websites that would otherwise be restricted by location. The most popular VPNs out there are ExpressVPN, NordVPN and PureVPN—all of which offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read on for how to sign up for them to watch Dragon Ball Heroes in the US.

ExpressVPN is one of the most popular VPN services, and the one we recommend above all others for a simple reason. The service—which allows users to set their location to more than 160 locations in 90 countries with unlimited bandwidth—offers a 30-day free trial and a money-back guarantee. After the free trial ends, Express VPN costs $8.32 per month for a 12-month plan ($99.95 in total), $9.99 per month for a six-month plan ($59.95 in total) or $12.95 per month for a monthly plan.

Of course, users can do more than watch international events and shows in the US with a VPN. Along with this event, VPNs also allow users to access international versions of Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max (which have different content than in the US) as well as stream international services like Hayu, which has access to programs like the Real Housewives, Below Deck, The Bachelor and hundreds of other reality TV shows.

What is Super Dragon Ball Heroes?
As we mentioned above, Dragon Ball Heroes is a promotional miniseries to support the release of the tactical digital card game, Super Dragon Ball Heroes, which you can play on Nintendo Switch. It was produced by Toei Animation without the involvement of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.

The mysterious man “Fu” suddenly appears, telling them that Trunks has been locked up on the “Prison Planet”, a mysterious facility in an unknown location between universes. The group searches for the Dragon Balls to free Trunks, but an unending super battle awaits them! Will Goku and the others manage to rescue Trunks and escape the Prison Planet?”
