But then again didn't Vegetto refer to Goku as Goku?
Gogeeta does mention the Potara fusion's name, yes.

No, he said he was the fusion between Kakarrot and Vegeeta.
Ahh that must have been the dub only then, thanks!

And interesting to know Gogeta knows of Vegetto wasn't a dub only thing.

Interesting to see that the Blu-Ray for the Broly film is coming out in April. I wonder if the leaked screening helped speed up the release. I know for sure that Toei is mad at Funimation for this fuck-up.

Can I just say that I actually hope that Kikono and Beriblu are kept around from here on out as supporting characters for Frieza. Despite them not playing s big of a role in the movie, I feel like something about them compliment Frieza really well.

In April? Wow, that's pretty quick. What happen, where is the source? Did team Funi have loose lips?

One of the screener copies of the movie (roughly DVD quality) FUNi had sent out to YouTubers/Reviewers got leaked online.

Zero context, zero setup. Its in NO way meant to be seen as a "beginning point" for ANYTHING other than the next story arc. It flows precisely and fluidly from where things left off in the aftermath of the 23rd Budokai and mostly hits the ground running from there without really stopping to look back. You're plopping someone into the middle of a book starting at chapter 195 out of 519 for absolutely no good goddamn reason, with very minimal opportunity to look back at much needed context and character/story growth.

Toei may tell Funimation to not give that type of privilege every again.

Maybe now they will learn to speed up the release for their movies internationally for all countries.

I want them to stay too they're kinda like his caregivers (Beriblu gives me a nanny vibe but an evil nanny) must be why he didn't kill her when she called him short he must care for them (which is weird of freeza)

As much as I hate to say this... you are actually right.
It’s no excuse for what has happened, but I actually called out months ago that piracy would have hurt this movie a lot, which is why I was hoping for the movie to have a simultaneous release.
I hope that at least this will open their eyes for the future. It’s not only about the screener, but there have been numerous camrips on YouTube which have reached incredible numbers of views.
Sure, a simultaneous release wouldn’t stop people from recording at the theatre, but it would surely stop lots of people from anxiously look up for illegal pirated version of the movie online because the movie comes too late in their country.
We are in 2019. Piracy is real and they know it. They should try to prevent their losses more, because it’s extremely sad to se the movie not hitting its full potential in terms of earnings because of it.

I think Toei's (or anyone's, frankly) obsession with piracy is wasted energy. Piracy will always be a thing. There's nothing you can do to stop it. But you sure as hell can reduce it by making things accessible. Dubbing the movie in so many languages this early, having major cinema releases and getting the thing out on DVD asap reduces piracy massively.

You can't make something impossible to obtain and then complain when it gets pirated... There's still no legal way, to my knowledge, to stream DBS in English in the UK? I do a google every now and again and just go in circles and get fed up. Most people won't waste that kind of energy when it's so easy to obtain illegally. There will always be people who just watch the whole thing filmed from a phone in the cinema on YouTube rather than going to see it, and getting bent out of shape about it isn't going to stop it happening. Make it easier to watch legally and you'll cut down on that substantially to the point where it doesn't matter. Those people wouldn't pay if they couldn't find it illegally, they just wouldn't watch it at all.

Whilst I'm here, I posted a fairly in depth spoiler review on Tumblr, if anyone enjoys reading such things. I talk about the things that matter most to me - aesthetics, headcanon and characterisation.

Does anybody know why Shenron granted only one wish in the movie?

I believe it was left over from the epsiode they wished Pan back to health & Shenron ran away. I don't think a year had past since then.

Minor pet peeve with Frieza's design in this film, while I understand they wanted to give him his manga coloring for his first form, they gave him his anime coloring for his second and third. They should have just stuck with one color palette for him.

It hasn't hurt the movie in anything meaningful way. It was bound to be posted online regardless when the Blu-ray launched.

I disagree. One of my friends was going to go see it at the theater and decided not to once he got the dvd quality rip online. It’s a pretty big f up to have something of this quality leak online while it’s still in theaters.

Ooo makes me happy that the blu-ray will get released in April! Dying to watch it again in the comfort of my home! I hope it has all the behind the scenes recordings and all like Battle of Gods.

Great post. I agree. In my opinion, Piracy isn’t that bad as long as you ALSO support the official release. What if everyone who claimed to be a fan of the show watched the movie in theaters (supported the official release) yet also watched the movie illegally online after that. Why would Toei still care about that if they’re bringing in LOADS of money?!

Minor peeve but are we really expected to believe Broly was fighting Frieza for an entire hour considering that the goku Freeza fight only took 5 minutes and the fighters are moving at light speed?
