We dive in to this material, translate out the necessary details, and attempt to extrapolate whatever we can in conjunction with the upcoming movie!

Thanks a lot for answering my question guys! 🙂
I’d probably classify this movie as the first “full-length feature film” that officially follows the main storyline of the manga/anime (if it indeed ends up being longer than the older films)…
I’d then take the older 13 movies and categorize them under the umbrella of whatever the event was they showed them at (I forget what it was called), and say that those particular movies were self-contained stories that do not follow the same continuity as the television series. Makes enough sense to me.
I’m so happy you guys found the hidden “introduction” page; since then, I’ve been finding myself checking to see if/when the “story” portion will be uploaded.
In terms of upcoming news I I hope to find out the answers to; the questions the movie’s toy tie-ins pose; like green Pilaf and that out-of-character-looking Vegeta.
I am curious as to whether or not this movie will essentially fill all of the plot holes of GT. Perhaps have Goku and Vegeta hint at maybe trying to fuse, but it fails. Have a brief explanation of Gohan now using SSJ. Maybe even a brief mention of the black stars. That is if Toriyama recognizes GT as the true successor of Z and not as many others recognize as as much canon as some of the earlier movies.
