Dragon Ball Super: Broly is getting fans hyped for a lot of reasons. It will be the first Dragon Ball Super film and it will finally make Broly part of the official canon. Of course, fans are excited, as anything that series creator Akira Toriyama approves is considered to be the most official.
Speaking to Kazenshuu, Dragon Ball Super: Broly director Tatsuya Nagamine talked about Toriyama's script,
"It may be presumptuous for me to say so, but he truly is the greatest when it comes to making manga, right? And with this movie's screenplay, I can see that he's utilizing his talents for production, art, and character design, along with his own storytelling style," Nagamine said. "That's why I think it would be an enormous task for anyone but Toriyama to create this. Even now, I feel the heart-pounding excitement I felt as a kid when reading the manga in real time in Jump… And I feel like this new movie is bringing out those feelings again."
"With the exception of action scenes, we're adapting his screenplay pretty much as-is... We're adamant about delivering as much of Toriyama's script to viewers as possible, so we were able to extend the run time a little bit," Nagamine said.
Nagamine also reveals that Toriyama created enough story material for two films, and that led to extensive editing on Nagamine and Dragon Ball Super: Broly's producers to get it down to the standard 90-minute runtime of a feature film.
It sounds like Toriyama has crafted an amazing story for Dragon Ball Super: Broly. I
Synopsis:
"This is the story of a new Saiyan. Earth is peaceful following the Tournament of Power. Realizing that the universes still hold many more strong people yet to see, Goku spends all his days training to reach even greater heights. Then one day, Goku and Vegeta are faced by a Saiyan called 'Broly' who they've never seen before. The Saiyans were supposed to have been almost completely wiped out in the destruction of Planet Vegeta, so what's this one doing on Earth? This encounter between the three Saiyans who have followed completely different destinies turns into a stupendous battle, with even Freeza (back from Hell) getting caught up in the mix."
