If its a promo artist doesn't that lend more credence to something being announced?

Not necessarily, it's existing art from last year, but they also likely wouldn't waste time or money on having a new piece of art made for this little tease, regardless of if it relates to Super or not. Heroes reuses art all the time, the important thing is that they never use Shintani's style unless it's promoting something that actually involves that style, so so far they have only used it for Broly movie stuff. That doesn't confirm that this is related to the announcement of Super season 2, but it does heavily imply that whatever this is it involves Shintani's style in some way, be it Super season 2, a new Broly movie event of some kind in game or something else.
Keep in mind this tease is for something to do with Heroes, but not the promo anime, but it could very well be a tease for new in game content to celebrate Super season 2.

Summary of Toriyama DBS: Broly "Anime-Comic" Q&A
Toriyama is asked if this trio of Broly, Lemo and Cheelye is likely to play a role again.
He says that Cheelye and Lemo were his favorite characters this time around. They may be lowlifes who signed up with Freeza's army, but they turn out to be a bit more decent than anyone else. If he has the chance, he'd definitely like to have them play a role that caters to their strengths as a trio again.

Toriyama is asked what his impressions are of Bardock, Paragus and King Vegeta as fathers.
Innately, Saiyans place emphasis on increasing the number of strong people in their race, so bonds between parent and child aren't all that strong. King Vegeta and Paragus aim to use their sons to fulfill their own pride and ambitions, respectively, while Bardock, unusually for a Saiyan and more similarly to Earthlings, seems to have just a bit of fondness for his son. Come to think of it, Toriyama comments, Goku doesn't seem to think about his children all that much.
(Commentary to the side of the comment claims that Vegeta displays just a bit more affection toward his children than Goku does his, and questions whether it isn't the influence of his beloved Bulma, though this isn't attributed to Toriyama. It also points out that Bardock changed the fate of the universe by showing the slightest bit of affection for his son.)

Toriyama is asked for his favorite battle scene in the movie.
He says the battle scenes were really incredible and though the way they provided the impression that the battle had really slipped into another dimension was novel. Although they aren't exactly battle scenes, he also says he particularly liked Goku's bouncy warm-up sequence and breathing onto the Freeza soldiers' ship. Both were "adlibs" from the animation staff. (Adlibs as in, presumably, details not described in the script.)

Toriyama is asked if he issued any particular requests for his characters' gestures, expressions, or way of speaking as they went from script to film.
He says he didn't issue any particular requests. The dialogue was all written into the script, and he thinks the director did a good job inferring the general atmosphere of everything from that.

Last, in the wake of Broly's international acclaim, Toriyama is asked for a message to the readers.
He says he isn't sure if comics can truly capture the incredibleness of the battle scenes from the film, but asks readers to try to imagine the sense of speed and impact as they're reading. The sense of imagination is important. And get excited (wakuwaku, referencing Goku's usual phrasing).

Shintani's style being used to promote the yearly Heroes tour.
Since it's just Gogeta you can't really read much into it, just using Broly stuff to promote it. It's always nice to see the style used though.
This could potentially mean the Goku Day announcement that Heroes has coming is related to something that will be shown off on this tour though, as opposed to being Super season 2 related. Or it could be both really, they could announce that the tour will show stuff from the show, who knows.

wow thats lame as hell. the episode just ends abrubtly, completely ruined the greatness of the original airing. this was clearly meant to be shown back to back.
The full length episode also had extra scenes in the middle that are missing from the split episode version...

Just watched episode 105 of Dragon Ball Super. Master Roshi is a true G. I'm glad they gave him time to shine. I love seeing old martial arts masters. I wish we could get more of them in anime and shows.
The movie was produced in 1080p, so there wouldn't be much point. Maybe if they could use the same discs to make a high-bandwidth 1080p version, but the format is called Ultra HD, so...
nope any dates you're hearing are speculation based on what people thinks makes sense for an announcement date
Why the hell would they do that.... Makes no sense in this age. There's gotta be a master out there that's 8k or 4k!
I believe it's more just that the art isn't big or detailed enough for a 4K master to matter, at least as far as they're concerned.

That's some sexy art. Feels like a mix of his recent art and his art from about a year ago.
It's more Toriyama, less Nakatsuru.

Shintani art direction anime is slowly looking to go from being a dream to an actuality. Shit is hype as fuck to say the least. No glossy plastic lighting. No twig man Super Saiyan and off model art. All smooth lines, slightly desaturated colors and flat matte drawings with some dynamic posing. Buff as fuck Goku and Vegeta finally. Its all just perfect, even the thinner Super Saiyan God is buff as hell, just more toned instead of the horror that was before. Its almost like its going to be a Super version of Super, Super Max if you would.
Shintani continues to salvage SSJ Blue.I love everything about these.
But its just normal ssj lol? Shintani doesn't decide the new colors.
That's not his job. Thank god whoever decided that blue needed new colors.
I love everything about these.
Super Saiyan Blue looks nice. I still wonder how it might've been received if they'd gone for a deep orange color though.
Truly epic.
Edit: I wonder how it would have been received if Toriyama had went and made it white, like he said in an interview.
OP
OP
Teppei Hotta was the color designer for DB since BoG and was replaced by Rumiko Nagai in Broly. For Broly they used the full color manga as the main reference point for colors, but that doesn't really explain Blue as it wasn't in the manga. Nagai could have just done it himself and it was approved, or maybe it was decided by someone else that they should adjust the color to look nicer with Goku's outfit. That might also explain why Vegeta had a big change in outfit colors that are even very different from the Full Color Manga, they might have wanted to make the outfit colors fit with Blue nicer.
Somewhat related, but I think it's interesting that Shintani went with highlights on the hair instead of shading, it's pretty different from how he usually does hair. Guess he felt it fits better with the simple shading used here.
I see, that's interesting.
I really hope they do more "full color manga" colors.
Base Freeza is the most obvious one, and I would love to see more of it.
Edit:
PLZ give me full color Goten.
A black undershirt would help so much to make him stand out more.

Only downside is SSJ2 and SSJ3 would look like shit in this art style
OP
OP
I don't know why you'd think that.
Either way Shintani has two styles anyways, this looser, simpler style and his tighter and more detailed style.
I saw some Shintai-inspired ssj3 Goku fanarts.
If it looks something like this, I think ssj3 would look better then it ever did.

Man, I hope so. I have a bad feeling Toei will just say Super is returning this year in their financial statement and then we'll hear nothing till the end of May. God I hope that doesn't happen.
