Yeah, I mean thtat's what I have always thought. It has more to do when the movie is being createdwhen evolution wasn't a thing.. BUT KAIOKEN though...why is it not anywhere? evolution...sure..but no kaioken? Idk....something is fishy here.BlueBasilisk wrote:I was mulling over that recent interview with the movie's producer and the other statements we've had about the movie's development and I might have an idea why SSBE, SSBKK and UI have been no-shows so far. I didn't post it in that thread because I plan to talk about other aspects of the plot.
I don't think it has anything to do with 'canon' or Toriyama 'fixing' the plot or any of that jazz. It has to do with the fact that the movie was written and in development while the Universe Survival arc was still in production. Toriyama finished the story around April 2017 and Toei got it around June, which is when they started doing character designs and the like up until October. IIRC, it's about a 5 month turnaround between scripting and airing for a Super episode, so when Toriyama finished up the story, Toei's writers would have been working on the episodes for September and possibly the October special where Omen debuted. SSBE appeared in January, which means the episode was written somewhere around August while work on the movie was underway.
I think the movie is being made as a 'broad strokes' sequel because of that to step on a few toes as possible. Goku mentioned the Tournament of Power in the preview, but I don't think the movie will directly mention or build upon any specific moments from the Tournament besides what Toriyama had in his outline. Like Goku might mention fighting Jiren or getting Ultra Instinct but the movie won't go into further detail since neither the anime or manga had worked through that plot while the story was being written. Toyotaro did designs for the arc but his personal chapter work on the manga doesn't seem to extend more than a month or two beyond the current published chapter.
SSBE seems to have been a late addition for the anime and the dark blue version even more so. I get that impression from the merch. The only thing it had shortly after release was the Heroes card which was colored like Yamamuro's character sheet instead of the on-air version. Something similar happened with SS2 Caulifla's first Dokkan card which didn't have the right hair and her attack was a basic blue ki blast instead of a proper red one.
I think what they'll do is just acknowledge that there is something beyond Blue but quickly handwave an excuse as to why it's not being used vs restructuring the story to account for it. It's a quick and easy way to smooth out continuity issues. 131 already made the excuse for UI. Then when Toei puts Dragon Ball Super Duper on air they can re-adapt the story as the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly arc and adjust accordingly to fit their previous continuity. There's no way Toei or Shueisha will miss the chance to double dip for Broly Bucks.
Toriyama mentioned that the manga will be different, and part of that might be because Toyotaro can just launch right into his own version of the Broly arc without needing to skirt around things like that.
What do you guys think?
Yeah, do you think he meant the Broly movie and ToP arc or just the ToP arc? As I've always stated, this movie has a lot more going for it then what meets the eye.
YEEEES, that's what i've been saying.
Movie continuty (which is just the coniantuion of akiras plotlines for each arc)
Manga cotninatutiy
Anime continuty
That's what I think is going on for this movie.
"Toyotaro did designs for the arc but his personal chapter work on the manga doesn't seem to extend more than a month or two beyond the current published chapter."
Why do you say that?

Do you really think toei will give much of an sqaut about continuty issues in this movie? we have shintani as well as a new director that's differnt from the tv show, as well as maybe new writers and storyboarders....I don't think they'll go out of their way to try and be consitent with the TV show but rather just do what akiras wishes are.
And if "dragon ball super duper" comes, I hope they just adapt the dbs manga version of things.
