An official blog to promote the upcoming film, Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F”, has been opened on the popular Japanese blogging service Ameblo, run in-character by “Bulma”.
The blog opened with the following post:
みんな～、はじめまして！ブルマよ。
もちろん私のことは知ってるわよね！
カプセルコーポレーションの令嬢でベジータの妻、ブルマ様よ！実は、どうやら今日が映画『ドラゴンボールZ 復活の「F」』の公開59日前…ということらしいわ。
…そう！５９日前（ごくうにちまえ）記念日ってわけ！
そんなわけで、今日から59日に渡って毎日映画公開までカウントダウンをしていくから、
みんなチェックは欠かさずよろしくね！ナビゲーターはわ・た・し。
色々な映画の見どころや、キャスト・スタッフのコメントも紹介していくからお見逃しなく！
Everyone~, nice to meet you! It’s me, Bulma.
Of course, you all know who I am!
Bulma-sama, Daughter of the Capsule Corporation and wife of Vegeta!The truth is, apparently today is 59 days before the opening of the movie Dragon Ball Z: Revival of ‘F’….
…That’s right! That means it’s the 59 (Go-ku) day milestone!
With that in mind, starting today, I’ll be counting down each of the 59 days until the movie’s release,
so everyone, don’t forget to check!Yours truly will be your guide.
I’ll be introducing all sorts of highlights from the movie, along with comments from the cast and staff, so don’t miss it!
The website has since updated with an additional post (for 58 days until release), with Goku joining in with Bulma and dropping what appears to be a new bit of information:
ブルマ：
フリーザって、未来のトランクスがめちゃめちゃに切り刻んじゃったじゃない！悟空：
そこをなんとかっつー機械で、粉々になった肉体をくっつけちまったみてえなんだよな。
しかも、あいつはオラやトランクスにやられちまったことで、すげえ恨みを持ってて、オラたちに勝つために、4段階の変身よりも更に進化するような強さを身に着けて襲ってきやがったんだ。
Bulma:
But didn’t the Trunks from the future dice Freeza up into tiny bits?!Goku:
They put all the little pieces of his body back together using a whatchamacallit machine, seems like.
And on top of that, since he was defeated by me and Trunks, he’s got a huge grudge, and to win against me, he attacked after gaining the strength to progress/evolve further beyond his four transformations.
In typical Goku-fashion, he then goes on to say that Freeza being a lot stronger makes him excited, which earns him the ire of Bulma when the Earth is in danger.
The story for Revival of “F”, opening nationwide in Japan 18 April 2015 in 2D and IMAX 3D, is being crafted by original manga author Akira Toriyama, who stated he is writing it, “…as though it were a continuation of the manga when it was in serialization,” and that while it will, “…of course be a continuation of the previous Battle of Gods,” he has also, “…deliberately increased the amount of action scenes by a good deal.” Tadayoshi Yamamuro, who worked for many years as character designer and animation supervisor on the Dragon Ball franchise, will serve as the film’s director and animation supervisor. Norihito Sumitomo will return from Battle of Gods and the Majin Boo arc of Dragon Ball Kai for musical composition duties. Momoiro Clover Z will contribute a song alongside Maximum the Hormone, whose “F” will be used as a “battle song” during the film. Revival of “F” is set to bring back Freeza and will also include two new characters (Sorbet and Tagoma), feature Beerus and Whis again from Battle of Gods, and much more.
We will continue to keep tabs on this blog and translate whatever news it reveals, so stay tuned…!
