Free Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Coloring Pages: 23 printable PDF designs featuring characters from the 2022 Dragon Ball film, including Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, and the new android characters introduced in the movie. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser, with no account required.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was released in Japan on June 11, 2022, and internationally on August 19, 2022, written by series creator Akira Toriyama and produced by Toei Animation. It was the first Dragon Ball film built mainly around 3D computer animation rather than traditional hand-drawn style, and its story centers on Piccolo and Gohan defending the world from a newly reformed Red Ribbon Army, rather than Goku and Vegeta, who spend most of the film training elsewhere.
The 23 pages in this set are split into Goku portraits, Piccolo and Vegeta, supporting cast members, the film’s new characters and androids, and a group of movie poster and logo-style pages, giving fans a range of designs from across the film’s cast.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 23 pages fall into five groups by character and design type rather than by a single repeated scene.
Goku Portraits
The largest group by far keeps the focus on Goku, even though he plays a smaller role in this particular film’s story than in most Dragon Ball movies. These suit his classic Orange gi with Blue undershirt and Black spiky hair, kept consistent across every solo page.
Piccolo and Vegeta
A small group covers the film’s actual lead character, Piccolo, alongside a solo Vegeta page. These suit Piccolo’s Green skin and Purple gi, and Vegeta’s own signature Blue and White armor-style outfit.
Supporting Cast
A group of pages covers familiar supporting characters, including Pan, Krillin, Dende, and Bulma. These suit each character’s own established coloring, keeping every design recognizable on its own.
New Characters and Androids
A smaller group introduces characters original to this film, including the android Gamma 1. These suit a bold, heroic color scheme, since Gamma 1 and its counterpart are designed in the film to look like traditional superheroes.
Movie Poster and Logo Pages
The remaining pages are styled after the film’s promotional artwork and logo rather than a single character portrait. These work well as a quick warm-up page or a group display piece alongside the character-focused designs.
What Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development through dynamic action poses. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the sharp lines of a martial arts stance or a spiky hairstyle give that practice a more angular, deliberate shape to work through than a plain standing pose.
A film that shifted the spotlight to different characters. Unlike most Dragon Ball movies built around Goku, Super Hero centers its story on Piccolo and Gohan defending the world while Goku and Vegeta train elsewhere, a real structural choice by writer Akira Toriyama that makes this collection’s heavy focus on Goku portraits worth noting, honestly, rather than assuming he was the film’s main character.
Calm, repetitive shading through detailed costume and armor design. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and the layered folds of a gi or the paneled design of an android’s armor call for the same slow, section-by-section shading the study associated with that calming effect.
A film created under a specific creative legacy. Akira Toriyama wrote the story, dialogue, and character designs for Super Hero himself, and it stands as one of the final Dragon Ball projects he worked on before his death in March 2024, giving these pages a direct, documented connection to the franchise’s original creator.
How to Color These Pages Well
- Goku: Use Orange for the gi with Blue for the undershirt and wristbands, keeping his spiky hair a solid Black.
- Piccolo: Color his skin Green with Pink accents around the mouth, and use Purple for his gi with a contrasting White cape and turban.
- Vegeta: Keep his classic outfit in Blue and White, with Black hair styled in his signature upward flame shape.
- Gamma 1: Use bright, saturated colors like Red and White for the armor, since the character is designed in the film to look like a classic comic-book superhero.
- Supporting characters: Keep each character’s established colors consistent, Orange and Black for Krillin’s gi, Green for Dende’s Namekian skin, so every design stays individually recognizable.
- Poster and logo pages: Use bold, high-contrast colors, such as Red and Black, for lettering and background elements, matching the graphic style of real movie promotional art.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Coloring Pages
1. Power-Up Aura Effect
Color a character page fully, then use a light-colored pencil or chalk pastel to add short, radiating streaks around the character’s outline. Blend the streaks lightly to suggest a glowing energy aura.
2. Hero vs. Android Poster
Color one character page and one Android page, then mount them on either side of a poster board with a hand-drawn “VS” banner between them. Use the finished poster to display a favorite matchup from the film.
3. Movie Poster Recreation
Color one of the logo or poster-style pages and add hand-written character names or a tagline underneath, styled after a real movie poster. Display the finished piece next to a character portrait page.
4. Character Bio Card
Color a character page and glue it to an index card, then write the character’s name and one real fact about their role in the film underneath. Collect several finished cards into a small character reference deck.
5. Comic Panel Action Scene
Color a character in an action pose, then draw simple comic-style motion lines and a sound effect word, such as “BOOM,” around the finished page. Frame the page like a panel from a comic book.
