Broly Second Coming Released 1994-03-12

Bojack presumably isn't in the "OVA" because he was too recent to add in basically? They'd only have 13 days to reanimate the whole movie to add him assuming the game wasn't already finished and being released later.

Is there an in universe explanation for his omission? And the other villians henchmen? Zangya is probably more useful than Turles for example as are coolers men vs Turles by powerscaling.

Garlic didn't die.
Wheelo is either a brain or a robot, as are 13, 14, 15, 19 and 20. Cell either doesn't exist or it's during the 10 day wait period.
Not defending the movie with headcanon, but the lack of robots seems so apparent that it must be intentional, Freeza isn't Mecha and Cooler is regular.

So production starts long before release and probably scripting longest before. The nearest releases were probably too recent to be considered as it's too late to add new things in late into production (probably why Trunks is still around for example) I assume making a game, especially a game with an anime movie in it, takes longer than an animated movie alone too.

But thinking about it they threw in a mention of Broly when fighting the master Boss of the game.

It got me thinking.
Why wasn't Broly in the movie if he was believed dead?
It could be that it's only people that died on earth, but Coolers remains died on Namek.
It could be people that only visited earth but according to a Daiz:
"Broli was supposed to have been defeated by Goku. Miraculously surviving, he comes to Earth and continues sleeping within ice for seven years."
And he also came when Paragus first meets everyone as I recall.

Did the Toei peeps inform the game guys or animators that Broly was planned to come back and not dead. If they didn't his fortunate absence/implied survival should have been noted by the character as Broly was mere days ago.

Yamauchi directed the first two Broly films and Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, so it's possible that he might have nixed the idea of brigning him back for the latter during the planning stages.

Thanks Julie, that makes sense, I understand he also created Broly but it was Takao Koyama who was the writer right? But yeah he was involved and close to the plotting enough that he's the most likely explanation as to why they didn't use Broly. I'm going to assume this in lieu of other evidence.

Koyama wrote the films and probably did a lot of the heavy-lifting as far as the script was concerned, but the idea for the film would have been influenced by Yamauchi and the producer (Morishita, I imagine?).
