Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Fans Catch Majin Buu Easter Egg in New Trailer

Many fans of the Dragon Ball franchise have theorized that the next movie focusing on the return of the Red Ribbon Army might mean that Cell is finally set to return to the Shonen's story, with the biological nightmare being one of the only major villains to not return to the land of the living. However, the newest trailer has hinted at the idea that perhaps another major villain is set to make a comeback as Piccolo and Gohan are set to take center stage this time around.
Majin Buu, during the final arc of Dragon Ball Z, employed a technique that was dubbed the "Human Extinction Attack", which saw the pink nightmare unleashing a series of energy blasts that killed most of the human population on the Planet Earth. While Buu in his rotund self has joined the Z-Fighters while also being looked after by Mr. Satan, the evil side of Buu was reincarnated as the young fighter Uub, but might we see a side of Buu resurrected by the Red Ribbon? This attack was also performed by Android 21, a fighter that originated in the video game Dragon Ball Fighterz, who used the cells of Buu to give herself a major boost in energy. The scientist of the Red Ribbon has yet to be introduced in the Dragon Ball Super anime officially, but perhaps this upcoming film might finally be her landing point in the series proper.
Twitter Outlet DBS Hype shared an image capture of what appears to be a technique that looks startlingly similar to that of Majin Buu's "Human Extinction Attack," leaving fans to wonder if Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero might be throwing fans a serious curveball when it comes to predictions over which characters are set to take part in the return of the Red Ribbon:
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is set to hit theaters in Japan next month, with the Shonen film set to hit theaters around the world this summer, though a specific date for a North American release has yet to be revealed. With a number of questions still surrounding the story that focuses on Gohan and Piccolo fighting Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, it will be interesting to see if any villains from Dragon Ball's past arrive on the scene.
