Dragon Ball Super Broly Pamphlet (translated)

[Pakl]

A message from Akira Toriyama, the original author, scriptwriter and character designer

When I was discussing the next movie with my editor, he suggested that we go with the popular character "Broly."

Broly was an original story from Toei Animation a long time ago, and it seems that I was the one who drew the character design, but I only heard briefly about the story and had completely forgotten it.

So, if Broly is popular, then I thought I should go for it and make the audience happy. So I decided on the theme and wrote my own brand new Broly based on the original story.

This is Broly from the "Super" series, with the addition of my favorite new characters, Remo and Cheelai, as well as the Frieza Army. I'm sorry to those who prefer the old content, but I've added a bit more drama and humanity to the story, and hope to make it one that fans will enjoy. What do you think?

Toei Animation is excellent when it comes to the all-important battle scenes. I only wrote a rough outline, and then I left it to them, and they turned it into a top-notch fight. It was too intense for an old guy like me, but the intense battle scenes using every technique left a strong impression. Thank you so much to all the staff for your hard work.

I would be extremely happy if all of you, whether you're a long-time fan, a new fan, or even someone who just happened to come and see it, enjoy the movie "Broly"!

Story 1
On Planet Vegeta, 41 years ago. King Cold appears with a powerful army and declares his retirement and that his son, Frieza, will be his successor. Confronted by Frieza's overwhelming power, King Vegeta and the Saiyans had no choice but to succumb... King Vegeta had high hopes for his son, Prince Vegeta, who has great fighting ability, but is terrified by Broly, who has even more hidden potential than his prince. He sends Broly flying towards the asteroid Bumpa. Broly's father, Paragus, trembling with rage, chases his son and heads towards Vampa. Five years later... And five years later... When Frieza urgently summons the Saiyans, the Saiyan warrior Bardock has a bad feeling about it. Believing his own premonition, Bardock sends his son, Kakarot, in a pod to the remote planet, Earth. Shortly afterwards, the Saiyans who had gathered on Planet Vegeta were wiped out along with the planet by Frieza's attack.

While training at Bulma's newly completed villa, Trunks contacts her...!? The six Dragon Balls that Bulma had collected have been stolen by Frieza's army! In search of the last one, Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Whis head to the ice continent. Meanwhile, in the distant universe, Lemo and Cheelai of the Frieza Army receive a distress signal and land on the asteroid Bumpa, where they encounter Paragus and Broly. Astonished by Broly's fighting power, which cannot be measured even with the new scouter, the two take Broly and co. to Frieza's army. Then, upon receiving news that all the Dragon Balls had been collected, Frieza headed for Earth with new plans.

Vegeta Royal Castle

This is the palace where King Vegeta lives, who rules over Planet Vegeta. It is located on top of a steep cliff and can be seen from far away. It is an elegant building made mainly of curved lines, and although you can see greenery inside, it also houses a spaceship landing site. The view of the two large moons floating behind Vegeta's castle is one of the things you definitely want to see when you come to Planet Vegeta.

Planet Vegeta image: A lush planet with two moons...
Planet Vegeta is characterized by its two moons. It is home to a warrior race that rules the planet and sells its goods, but it is also characterized by the fact that they coexist with the planet's abundant nature.

This is a cave where the giant mites that live in large numbers on the asteroid Bumpa lay their eggs. Of course, there are also many giant mites living there, so it is very dangerous to step inside.

Bumpa's food
There are almost no living creatures living there. Therefore, the meat from the legs of giant mites, or their eggs, are a specialty of Bumpa!
