4. In episode 122 when he as just a normal SSB out-performed both SSBx20 Goku from the hour special and Hit. This was explicitly acknowledged by many characters in the background.
1. No, it wasn't. That's like saying that Gohan was stronger than Raditz in the Saiyan arc because he had one of his rage tantrums. Temp rage boosts do not make a character stronger than another permanently. Vegeta himself states in the BoG movie that 'in that moment I surpassed you, Kakarott!' which means it was just that, a moment. It wasn't permanent. No one said it was except you.


2. I'll give you that one, even though it was a small window in the entire series that hardly mattered when the next enemy appeared. Still, he was better at that point.


3. Goku faced Zamasu at that point and not Black - so that data is kind of a grey area. And besides, at that point Goku is more comfortable with Kaio Ken in Blue form which makes him immensely superior to Vegeta.

4. Outperformed a Goku who achieved UI a few episodes back? You cannot claim that a Vegeta who had a spontaneous power burst is superior to SSBx20 Goku when Goku at that point can have a spontaneous UI. Goku is still better than Vegeta at that point.


Sorry, but I can give you 1 out of 4.

Well, I hope some people will be happy about that.
Interesting. All we can do is see how this new Broly characterization is. However, movie 8 Broly has established himself. It's gonna be hard to top him.

They just did that in RF so chances are earth won't be destroyed but Freeza somehow becoming a destroyer is possible.

Look, want Freeza to take the role of G.o.D as much as you guys. In fact, i feel like them keeping him alive, and the fact that Goku and Vegeta don’t have the personality type to be G.o.D, the the fact that Freeza has experience for running a galaxy, he’s THE ONLY FIT for U7’s next God of Destruction provided Whis teaches him some manners.

But the whole rumor isn’t 50% likely just because of one line said in the FT arc. And you can easily say that the only reason that line was said was to explain how Black killed off all the Gods of Destruction. Thats it. Nothing hints that that line was hinting at anything else.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

I will be surprised if this isn't another Revival of 「F」, but ... Frieza probably realized Broly's power being higher than Beerus. He wants to use him to improve and then fight the GoD while he fights Goku and Vegeta, being confident after his new training. Maybe this is where the "Broly not fighting in his own initiative" connects.

What if Brolli becomes the new god of destruction?

I dunno. Just a thought.

I wish they'd tell more about the plot.

Shintani mentions that Nagamine's box office goal for this movie is to reach 10 billion yen! That's around 90 million USD. I honestly think they can make more than that, but that's a good number to start at. :lol:
Thanks for the images.
What I don't like about this is that Broly has the collar on in the first set of images then he is berserk without it in the next, finally, he is relaxed without the necklace.
Is this a sign that Broly will be calm without the collar and befriend the Z senshi? :shock:

So is there really no other movie news in V Jump besides the monthly manga chapter?

Broly as a good guy? No, sorry, but that would ruin his character. Broly has to be evil, I could accept him ending as a anti-hero (though that would just be another Vegeta)

I believe you forgot that Super (anime and manga) ignores the past movies continuity (BoG and RoF)

Even if they do state an official continuity people can still ignore everything outside the original manga as it was written 2 decades ago and will always remain as its own and complete product, regardless of what's coming out now.
Sure, although that would be like living in a island isolated from society :D

That may be a better alternative than dealing with certain societies (and franchises).

Broly making it out of this and perhaps becoming apart of the main cast in some way would be awesome; or at the very least, he makes amends.

Super hasn't really killed any villains for the exception of Zamasu... and Freeza - who winds up getting revived, anyways.

Broly doesn't have to be evil. And I don't see him being killed. I don't see Broly becoming an anti-hero or even an anti-villain. I see him being a Neutral force. Like how Beerus is supposed to be. I've said it before, Broly doesn't have the same grudge as everyone else does. Broly grew up alone on a savage planet. He's only being used by his father, Paragus. Once the collar is broken and he calms down from his rage, he has no reason to keep fighting the group. Broly will likely end up leaving of his own volition, his only desire to be alone.

Of course, Cheyle will seek to join him. After all, he's a big strong hunk. 8)

I'm sorry, Broly is already established as a "cool evil villain." Any destruction of this hype that has established him as a megastar would kill his status. :thumbdown:

They label him as a force to be reckoned with. Nothing about his ambitions and over all alignment has been set in stone. It doesn't kill anything.

Thats what people said when it was revealed that they would bring back Freeza for the T.o.P. It would ruin his status. Now he’s more popular than ever and he’s even survived.

Nothing says that Broly HAS to be evil. In fact, there’s nothing that makes him “evil” except the control of Paragus which they hint will be a factor in the movie. By himself, Broly’s most extreme is a chaotic neutral.

Most Broly fans care more about seeing Broly body people and less about who’s side he’s bodying. So they’ll accept it eventually. Broly isn’t established as “cool evil villain”. He’s established as “Buff Berserker Saiyan”. As long as he’s still that, chances are he’ll keep his status.

Sorry, but I can give you 1 out of 4.
1. I'm referring to the Super version, NOT the movie version. You lose here

3. Goku couldn't use kkx10 for more than a few seconds in that arc. Either way, Vegeta beat a villain that previously was taking on him, Goku and Trunks all by himself. Goku has no comparable feats in the arc.

4. You are missing the point here :roll: . Goku can't use UI at will and it isn't guaranteed that it will come out everytime he's pushed into a corner

Its like you are reaching for arguments at this point.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Super has virtually no real villains except Black/Zamasu and Freeza.

Reading the latest interview, I don't like how they feel the movie has to be 90 minutes.

One Piece Strong World was 113 minutes and One Piece Gold was 120 minutes.

So why can't we have a two hour Dragon Ball movie too? At least they said they pushed it past 90 minutes but they did say by a little bit.
