With 52 days remaining until the film’s debut, the official blog to promote Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F” showcases Bulma inviting Vegeta to contribute his thoughts on getting stronger alongside Goku, not to mention having to do battle with Freeza again:

こんにちは！ブルマよ！
公開まであと52日！
今日は私の旦那、ベジータが来ちゃったわよ！

………。

何よベジータ。そんなところにいないでこっちにきなさいよ。
私がいるからってそんなに緊張しなくていいのよ？

だ・・・だまれ！！

いいから映画のこと話しなさいよ！フリーザが復活しちゃうんだから！

フン、フリーザか。今更あんな奴が復活して何ができるというのだ。
俺の目的はカカロットだけだ、他のヤツの事などどうでもいい。

そうそう、この人相変わらず鍛えてばっかりなの！
最近はビルス様の付き人のウイスさんのところで孫君と修業してるみたいだし、
全くサイヤ人ってどうしてこうなのかしら！
でもフリーザも更に強くなったらしいから、孫君たちと一緒にガツンとやっちゃいなさいよ！

カカロットと一緒に闘うなどご免だな。
どんなに強くなっていようが、あんなヤローはこの俺一人で十分だ！
52日後などと言わずに、今すぐ来やがれ！

Bulma: Hey! Bulma here!
Just 52 days left until the movie’s premiere!
Today my husband Vegeta swung by!

Vegeta: ……………

Bulma: What’s the matter, Vegeta? Don’t stand way over there! I’m here, so what are you so nervous about?

Vegeta: Sh-Shut up!!

Bulma: Look, just talk about the movie! Freeza’s being resurrected, after all!

Vegeta: Hmph, Freeza? What could he possibly do if he were to come back now? My goal is Kakarrot, only Kakarrot! Nobody else matters.

Bulma: Yeah yeah, this guy never changes! He’s always training! I guess lately he’s been training with Son-kun over at Beerus’ attendant Whis’ place… geez, what’s the matter with Saiyans?! But it looks like Freeza’s getting even stronger too, so you and Son-kun better go give him a good thrashing!

Vegeta: I refuse to team up with Kakarrot. No matter how strong Freeza may become, I’m more than enough to handle the likes of him! The heck with 52 days, get over here right now!

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…!

With 53 days remaining until the film’s debut, the official blog to promote Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F” has been updated with a new comment from none other than Freeza himself, Ryūsei Nakao! Even Bulma seems a bit shaken when she introduces him:

こんにちは！ブルマよ。
映画公開まであと53日！
きょ、今日は何と……フリーザ役の中尾隆聖さんからコメントを頂戴したわよ！

劇場版でフリーザとして復活できることは、すごく嬉しかったです。
前回は出られなかったので、まさかもう一度こうやって復活できるなんて「やっほー」と思いました(笑)。

ストーリーは先生自らが書いてくださったということで、楽しみにしていたのですが、「フリーザがこんな風に蘇ってくるんだ」というのがすごく楽しかったです。
こんなに長い期間フリーザというキャラクターが生き続けて、皆さんの支持を頂けているのは嬉しいかぎりです。
２５年前の作品ですが、これだけ経っても、ありがたいことに毎年色んな形でフリーザをやらせていただいていたので、いまだに終わったという感じはしていなかったんです。
フリーザ＝中尾隆聖みたいのように思っていただけるのは、すごくありがたいことだと思います。
なかなかそういう風に言ってもらえる作品やキャラクターに出会えることはないですし、私たちの一番の幸せなので。
悪役っていうと中尾隆聖がやってる！と、そういうものを位置づけてくれた作品なので、とっても大事な作品です。
ファンの方たちが育ててくださったキャラクターだと思いますね。

フリーザファンの皆さん！是非、最後の最後まで見ていってください！
最後まで見ていただければまた………。

Hey! Bulma here!
Just 53 days left until the movie’s premiere!
T-Today we’ve got…why, it’s a comment from the voice of Freeza, Ryūsei Nakao!

Nakao: I was incredibly happy when I heard that I was coming back as Freeza for this movie. I didn’t get the chance to participate last time, so when against all odds it turned out I’d get to come back to life one more time, I went “yippy!” (laughs)

I was already looking forward to the story since I knew sensei was writing it himself, but it was still really fun to see just how Freeza gets resurrected. That the character of Freeza has survived for so long thanks to everyone’s support makes me happy in the extreme.

Even though it’s a series from 25 years ago, after all this time I’m still fortunate enough to play Freeza in some form or another every year, which made me feel that it wasn’t quite over yet. I’m incredibly grateful that people think that “Freeza=Ryūsei Nakao”. There aren’t too many series or characters out there that get people saying things like that about us, so they’re our greatest joy.

It’s a very important series for me, since thanks to it I’ve got my current position where people go “if it’s a bad guy, have Ryūsei Nakao voice him!”

I think he’s a character who’s been nurtured by the fans.

All you Freeza fans, please watch until the very end!

If you watch until the end, then maybe once more…

With 54 days remaining until the film’s debut, the official blog to promote Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F” has been updated with a comment from none other than Masako Nozawa:

こんにちは！ブルマよ。
映画公開まであと54日！
今日は「ドラゴンボール」といえばこの方！孫悟空と孫悟飯役の野沢雅子さんからコメントを頂戴したわよ！
枠内の記事本文前作『神と神』の終わり方からして絶対にいつか次回作をやるだろうと思っていましたが、
こんなに早くできるとは思わなかったです。
映画をやると聞いた時は嬉しくてワクワクしました。
しかも、脚本を鳥山先生がゼロから書いたということで、台本が手元にくるのがとっても楽しみだったんですよ。
悟空として、こういう展開になるだろうとなと思って台本を読んでいると「え！　こうきたの！？」という裏切られる流れで、「さすが先生！」って思いました。
この作品は最高ですよ。
本を読んでいるだけでわくわくどきどきして「へー、そうなんだ、そうか、こうきたのか」って思ったので、観る人は、絵と一緒に声も流れてくるわけですから楽しさが何倍もですよね。

フリーザ役の中尾隆聖とは小さいときからレギュラーをやってたものですから、心が通ってるから一緒に演じやすいです。
第一声からもう息が合っていて、相手がどう出るのか、絶対にこうくるだろうなというのも分かるし。
きっと隆聖くんもそうだと思いますよ。また一緒にやれて嬉しいし、最高です。

見どころはこの作品に関してはいっぱいあり過ぎてワンポイントで言えなくなっちゃいました。
でも全体でめちゃめちゃ面白いってことは言えます。
それから、やっぱり戦いはすごいです！
今までとは一味もふた味も違う戦いになると思います。

みなさん、フリーザの存在も気になるでしょ。
ここでフリーザこんなふうになりますよって言うと、色あせちゃうから、本当に楽しみにしてくださ

いよ！わくわくして劇場に足を運んでください。
それから、いつも思っているのですが、世界中の人に一人残らず見て欲しいです。
また前の“オラ”とは違うぜってところを是非見て欲しいです。
「オラこれだけ今回は成長したぜ。絶対見てくれよな」

Hey! Bulma here!
Just 54 days left until the movie premiers!
Today we’ve got a comment in from someone synonymous with “Dragon Ball”: Masako Nozawa, voice of Son Goku and Son Gohan!

Nozawa: Based on the way “Battle of Gods” ended, I figured they were definitely going to make a sequel sooner or later, but I never thought it would be so soon.  I was happy and excited when I heard they were doing another movie. And since the screenplay this time was written by Toriyama-sensei from the ground up, I was really looking forward to getting my hands on the script. I had some ideas about how things might unfold with Goku, so as I read the script I was constantly going “wow, didn’t see that coming!”; it was a constant flow of my expectations getting overturned. “That’s sensei for you” I thought. This movie is great. I got excited just reading the script, so all the people watching it with the voices and pictures all together ought to enjoy it many times as much.

Ryusei Nakao (the voice of Freeza) has been performing major roles since he was little, so we understand each other, and this makes it easy for us to perform together. Since we click right from the first dialogue, we each know what the other is going to do next. I’m sure Ryusei-kun feels the same way. It’s really great to be working with him again.

This film has so many highlights that I can’t mention them all here, but I can tell you that the entire thing is super entertaining. And the battles are incredible, just like always! I think they’ll turn out with a bit of a different feel to them than the ones in the past.

I’m sure everyone’s curious about Freeza’s presence in the film. It’d spoil things if I said here how things pan out for him in the movie, so you’ll just have to look forward to it.

OK then! Get excited, and get yourself to the theater!
As always, I hope every single person in the entire world sees this.

Goku: I grew so much this time around. Definitely check it out!

With 55 days remaining until the film’s debut, the official blog to promote Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F” has returned to Bulma’s control. This time around, she invites Gohan to toss in a few thoughts:

ブルマ：
こんにちは！ブルマよ！
公開まであと55日！
今日は孫君の息子の悟飯君に来てもらったわ。

悟飯：
みなさーん、こんにちは！そんご…

ブルマ：
ちょ、ちょっと悟飯君、なによその恰好！？

悟飯：
いやぁ、フリーザが復活したって聞いてあわてて道着を探していたんですけど見当たらなくって……ジャージしかなかったんですよ。

ブルマ：
もう～しっかりしてよね！
そういう抜けてるところはお父さんそっくりなんだから！

悟飯：
すみません・・・でもブルマさん、大変なことになりましたね。

ブルマ：
そうよ！地球の危機なんだから、悟飯君も頑張って闘いなさいよ！

悟飯：
そうですね・・まだ超サイヤ人にはなれると思うんですが……
今回はみんなの力を総動員しないと1000人のフリーザ軍には勝てませんからね！
あと55日、しっかり修業しないといけませんね！

Bulma:
Hi there! Bulma here!
There are now 55 days until opening!
Today, Son-kun’s son, Gohan-kun, is here.

Gohan:
Hi, everyone! I’m Son Go—

Bulma:
Hold on a minute, Gohan-kun. What’s with that getup?

Gohan:
Well, when I heard that Freeza was back, I looked for my dōgi in a panic, but I couldn’t find it… all I had was this tracksuit.

Bulma:
Geez~ keep it together, will you?
That relaxed attitude of yours is just like your father’s!

Gohan:
Sorry… but Bulma, we’re in serious trouble!

Bulma:
That’s right! It’s a crisis for the Earth, so do your best and fight, Gohan-kun!

Gohan:
Let’s see… I think I can still become a Super Saiyan…
This time, everyone will have to to turn out in full-force if we want to win against Freeza’s 1000-strong army!
There are 55 days left, so I’ve got to do some serious training!

Fans continue to question Gohan’s ability to and actual showcase of transforming into a Super Saiyan based on the events within the manga leading up to this timeframe. In the 2013 film Battle of Gods, early promotional materials showcased him transforming into a Super Saiyan mid-battle, whereas the final film did away with these effects (though Gohan did transform during the Super Saiyan God ritual). It is unknown whether fan comments toward production staff swayed these decisions, and it remains to be seen what happens in Revival of “F” with regard to Gohan and these transformations.

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.

With 56 days remaining until the film’s debut, the official blog to promote Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F” has been updated. This time around, production staff discuss the special Battle of Gods encore screening held in Tokyo earlier today, which acted as a kick-off for the release of said film’s special edition, as well as hosting a special gathering of folks for Revival of “F”:

Hello, it’s the staff here.
Today marks 56 days left until the premiere!

An event was held today to celebrate the upcoming premiere of Dragon Ball Z: Revival of “F”, as well as the DVD and Blu-ray release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods – Special Edition!

First onstage were Masako Nozawa (voice of Son Goku, Gohan, and Goten), someone in a Goku costume, and special guest Risa Yoshiki, who’s a big Dragon Ball fan.

Yoshiki wore an adorable Bulma-esque pink mini-one piece, and even Nozawa was impressed.

After discussing Battle of Gods for a bit, Ryūsei Nakao (voice of Freeza) and someone in a Freeza costume turned up and things really kicked off!

The “special edition” of Battle of Gods will be released to Blu-ray and DVD in Japan 12 March 2015. Its release in Japan comes later than for the English-speaking market, where it went on sale in North America and the U.K. last year through FUNimation.
