Official On-Going DBZ 2015 Movie Thread: "Resurrection 'F'"

[TheDevilsCorpse]

It was probably addressed when they added in the scene with Jaco drawing Freeza's picture for Bluma, as that's not anywhere in Toriyama's script either.

[Herms]

So that settles that. The script in Volume F must have been a typo then, right?

It's definitely not a mere typo. The original line is very different from the final one; it's not just off by one letter or one word. That's why I posted them both for comparison.

So who do you think was at fault for the flubbing of that line, then?

The Volume F script is Toriyama's actual script for the movie (or in his own words "something I idly dashed off for the staff, just to help explain the flow of the story and the dialogue"), so he's responsible for everything in it. Here's his introduction again:

Spoiler:

It’s really embarrassing to have this called a “screenplay”. It’d probably be more accurate to say it’s just a memo. It’s simply something I idly dashed off for the staff, just to help explain the flow of the story and the dialogue! Never in a million years did I think it would get published. If any of you are trying to become scriptwriters, please don’t use this as an example!!

I guess you could say that some things are difficult for anyone but the original author to write, because only the original author can freely mess around with what’s already been established. A scriptwriter would get tied up trying not to screw with the original story, so in that respect they’d probably have a harder time messing around with things.

Then there’s the dialogue. The original author knows each character’s personality and backstory, so they can naturally think up dialogue that suits them.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification again, Herms. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

My guess is Yamamuro simply took the screenplay Toriyama wrote and made any changes he felt were necessary when drawing the storyboards and approving the storyboards as drawn by anyone else...unless Yamamuro drew the storyboards for the entire movie himself, as opposed to the previous film having six or seven different storyboard artists.

I guess I should also note that despite Toriyama downplaying it, his "memo" is actually a fairly lengthy document (54 small-ish pages as printed in Volume F) that corresponds to the finished film in most details. Almost all of the differences I've managed to find so far are things added in to flesh out the script, rather than things in the script getting outright changed like with that Freeza line. So for instance, here again is Toriyama's famously brief description of the big "Z Warriors vs Freeza's army" battle:

Spoiler:

An astounding battle begins! (This scene is a major set piece. Of course, I just have to write out the words, so it’s pretty easy on my end. Sorry (^^). It’ll probably be rough on all you animators, but please do your best.)

Despite being called “Freeza Army”, by now it’s been reduced to merely a hodge-podge of second-rate warriors. Strength-wise Earth’s army overwhelmingly has the upper hand, and the enemy force’s numbers steadily drop. However, there are still some strong enemies. The mercenaries are particularly troublesome. Gohan is strongest. And Piccolo’s strong too. Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Kame-sennin, and even Jaco all play a big role.

There's a bit more after that, mostly just dialogue between Kuririn and Jaco, and a description of Shisami's fight with Piccolo and then Gohan, but that's about it. Virtually everything that happens in this fight was added in by the anime staff, after Toriyama essentially just told them "hey, add in a bunch of cool fighting here".

Can you post it?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

It's all basically the same as the manga versions and what's mentioned in the summary.

Spoiler:

While fighting, Kuririn says to Jaco: “I don’t know who you are, but you’re pretty good!”
Jaco replies, also while fighting: “Who am I? Who the heck are you guys?! You’re not Earthlings!”
Kuririn: “I am too an Earthling!”
Jaco: “What!? But you’re so strong, and you’ve got such a weird face”
Kuririn: “Shut up!”

Spoiler:

There’s not much of Freeza’s army left, and Gohan defeats one powerful mercenary after another.

Piccolo is having a hard time against Shisami, the best warrior in Freeza’s army.

Sorbet: “I-I can’t believe it!...These guys are…!”
Freeza: “There’s nothing surprising about it. If he felt like it, Son Goku’s son over there could finish them all in an instant. But he’s trying not to kill anyone. He’s soft, just like his father. Why, Son Goku wouldn’t even kill a scoundrel like me. How truly noble of him………..and how absolutely revolting!”

Before long Earth’s army has defeated all of the soldiers save for one. (They pretty much don’t kill any of them.) Piccolo continues to battle Shisami, but Gohan swaps in for him.

Gohan: “Piccolo, please leave this to me!”

Gohan becomes Super Saiyan and instantly defeats Shisami.

Sorbet: “I'm-Impossible…Even Shisami’s no match…”
Freeza: “You’ve only ever seen videos of Super Saiyans, so you can’t really know how fearsome they truly are. Still, I didn’t expect that the son would also be able to transform.”

There's a scene in the movie where Krillins phone rings and it's the We Are theme from One Piece.

Seriously? That's amazing. And considering Krillin's seiyuu actress is the same one who voices Monkey D Luffy in One Peice, it just makes it even more meta.

[Doctor.]

- About the new leaked footage -

I liked hearing 'F', but I do agree it was really out of place while Freeza was regenerating. It looks like Shisami and Tagoma had some kind of rivalry going on too, and Tagoma seemed a more interesting character than Toyotaro's manga led us to assume, at least in my point of view. Loved Jaco and his voice.

[Birusu16]

Man Whis really made Goku and Vegeta look like utter fools in that footage.

[Flame Dragon]

I'm glad this thing got sorted out. Now to wait for Funimation to not screw this up.

[ZombieVito]

26 minutes leaked. It's only a matter of time before I see the 1,000 fight.

Damn. YouTube works fast.

That was another thing in Toriyama's script, although he doesn't specify We Are. He just writes that "The ringtone is a tune from One Piece".

[Marco Polo]

I'm glad Toriyama "fucked up", because the Jaco drawing gag that was added is hilarious

[Baggie_Saiyan]

I was reading an article today and it mentioned the 74 countries thing but they said it is to be screened in 74 countries in the summer. Did we get confirmation it was going to be in the summer? I don't want to get excited just yet.

Edit- They did use fan art in that article actually, probably not trustworthy then
