The latest trailer for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie has just been released, giving fans of the series another look at the action they've been waiting for.
Check it out below:
The first trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Broly teased a new threat but didn't have a lot of information. It wasn't until the official poster was released that fans discovered Broly would be the main villain.
Dragon Ball fans know Broly from the '90s animated film, Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan. In that movie, Broly was introduced as a real threat to Goku and the rest of the Z-Fighters, but the character was ultimately not part of the series' canon.
Creator Akira Toriyama spoke about Broly to the fans on the official movie website and how this would be his first time writing for the character and the movie.
"So, about Broly. I hear these days, he's still very popular not only in Japan, but also overseas. Based on that, my editor suggested we have Broly appear in this next movie. I went ahead and watched the movies from back then, and I felt this could be quite interesting once I got right to work trying my hand at a story that incorporates him into the Dragon Ball Super series. While keeping in mind Broly's classic image so fondly in the more fascinating Broly.
"Naturally you'll get to see fierce combat, but also the encounter between Goku, Vegeta and Broly. It also involves the Frieza Force and the history of the Saiyans, which end up having a major connection to everything. The story content turns out to be very large scale and dramatic."
The second trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Broly, released just before the start of New York Comic Con 2018, hinted at major changes to the foundation of the series and the relationship between Goku and Vegeta . Not only will fans revisit the story of Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan race, we get to see Gine, who is Bardock and Goku's mother.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly will release in North American theaters starting Jan. 16.
