"In France and in the world, we recognize you for the 8th DBZ movie, the one that revolve around the mythical Broly. How did you had the idea for this change, the movie going in other directions than usual ?

Shigeyasu Yamauchi : When I had to work on the Broly movie, I realized that he lacked something, although he is the most powerful Saiyan. It's this solitude of the powerful warrior that I wanted to retranscribe. He can destroy galaxies but is alone compared to Goku, whom he despises but has a family, just like Vegeta. When he loses at the end, he realizes that strength is not just physical, he would have been able to unlock another kind of power if he had something to protect for example."

"So, what do you think about DBS which was made with modern tools ?

Shigeyasu Yamauchi : I think the problem with DBS does not lie in technology but rather in the people who work on it. Not in terms of technical quality but in terms of emotion and will. Before, we would do our best. Maybe, that fighting spirit is not that strong today, we could have all the technology in the world, but if we don't have that spirit we could not do something significant."

I'm sorry for my poor english, I tried my best and Google helped me of course. I hope it's understandable.

Great work!

I always felt Broly had a ton of untapped potential & this interview supports it.

I get his gripes bout "fighting spirit". DBZ's Movie 8: Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan was straight-up brawl with Broly WWE'fied everyone.

While Super basically just tamed-down the whole "fighting" aspect with "atatatatatata" 30 seconds blurry fists

As much as I've enjoyed Super and can't wait for the movie and anime to return, you can feel more enthusiasm in the original anime compared to what they're doing now, both in terms of writing and production.

New message about Broly from Shigeyasu Yamauchi :

https://www.20minutes.fr/arts-stars/cul ... -preferees its still in french

"You are also the creator of Broly, a character who doesn't appear in the manga but who is very popular among fans.

As the title of the first film indicates, he is the most powerful super Saiyan/warrior. But if he is the strongest, he has no reason to lose? Except Broly only has that, his power, while Goku and Vegeta have a family, are ready to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones. I wanted to explore this loneliness and show that physical power was not enough to beat the power of love, friendship, bonds. Broly almost makes me feel bad. He is the darkest character in the Dragon Ball universe, I had to fight to impose him. Originally, I wanted him to say at the end, "Who am I exactly? but they cut the sentence. If I could, I would have liked to deepen his story, his personality."

I find this very interesting and I have hope the new Broly will be pretty interesting. Only with that there is so much to flesh out the character.

Why is this guy speaking truth?

[Omniboy]

Seems like he wanted to make Broly like Jiren. Wonder what stopped him from doing that.

Yup. It is not a tool that makes a man, but the man behind the tool.

[MozillaVulpix]

If they seriously make the Broly movie end with the moral that Broly fails because he's just a guy who only has the fact that he's strong and nothing else, it might actually be fun. Because, I mean, he's popular basically because he's got nothing else other than the fact he's strong. It could almost be like a call-out to fans.

[Tai Lung]

then broly was going to be like jiren?

although the comment is easy to be "twist" for many

I'll say that I do not agree with many of the DBS fights such as the "hit vs dyspo" or the fight between goku vs caulifla and kale seemed better or as good as some fights of z when returning the techniques and strategies in combat since they had lost with time, I could only "agree" in some terms of writing or harshness
