Comment From Original Manga Author Akira Toriyama
Apparently, it’s been 17 whole years since the last animated Dragon Ball movie! To be able to have a new work made after so many years and months have passed, I have to thank all the people who have given their support. For all the animation up to now, I’ve basically just left everything up [to the staff], so this is my first try at being involved starting from the story’s creation. At any rate, it was quite a long time ago that I drew Dragon Ball, so I had to start by working to remember it. I pulled out the comics [i.e., the tankōbon] of my own work, which it’s fair to say I never look at; and as I flipped through it, even though I’ve gotten older, as you’d expect of the original creator, I was quickly able to recapture the feeling from back then. The keywords this time, “God of Destruction Beerus” and “Super Saiyan God”, were suggestions from the scriptwriter, but they were good ideas for presenting a crisis for the main characters, who had grown so strong that they’d reached a point where there was nothing higher. I borrowed these ideas, and after first deciding on Beerus’ character design and background, I tried thinking up an original story, imagining it as though [the manga’s] serialization had continued. The God of Destruction Beerus, who I drew the design for myself (something I don’t usually do), is a terrifying opponent so overwhelmingly strong that he surpasses the dimension of the previous enemies. But it’s my trademark to not let things get too dark. At the very least, I’m satisfied that it’s been finished up as a very entertaining piece of work.
By the way, the battle scenes in the second half are particularly overwhelming! I was moved because the presentation exceeded my expectations. While I had expected, “It probably won’t be any good,” it was greatly different from a certain country’s live-action movie, which really was no good. Just as you’d expect, Japan’s animation is superb! Everyone on the staff, you really did a great job!!
Well, please enjoy the first Dragon Ball in a long time!
The strongest, gather!! The new strongest legend begins with a completely original story
The manga "Dragon Ball began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1984. The original work, as well as the numerous animated TV series and movie versions, are overwhelmingly popular not only in Japan but also overseas, and are still gaining new fans. I'll never give up! I'll become even stronger! The world of Dragon Ball continues to seek out the strongest, just like the main character Son Goku. The latest work is "Dragon Ball Z God and God. Original author Akira Toriyama was deeply involved from the scriptwriting stage for the first time, creating a "real original story that inherits the flow of the original work. The story is set several years after the battle with Majin Buu, and corresponds to the period between "Dragon Ball Z and "Dragon Ball GT in TV animation. The strongest members, including Goku's former rivals and friends who fought together, gather together!! They will intercept the most powerful visitor who threatens the peace of the earth! And the mystery of the Saiyans is revealed......!! Witness the birth of a new “strongest legend”!!
Story
The God of Destruction awakens! What will happen in the ultimate battle that decides the fate of the Earth!?
Several years have passed since the fierce battle with Majin Buu. Son Goku spends his days training on North Kaio's planet. Then Kibito Kaiohshin contacts them and says, "The God of Destruction, Beerus, has awakened. King Kai, who knows how scary Beerus is, is panicked! However, Goku is excited and wants to fight Beerus... Meanwhile, the God of Destruction Beerus, who has been in a slumber for 39 years, is woken up by his attendant Whis and says that he had a prophetic dream in which he fought against an opponent called "Super Saiyan God. In search of clues about the "Super Saiyan God," Beerus goes to meet the Saiyan Goku on Kaio's planet. Beerus and Whis arrive at Kaio's planet in the blink of an eye. The two ask about the "Super Saiyan God", but Goku has no idea. Goku wants to fight Beerus more than anything, so he challenges Beerus to a match. Beerus is amused and agrees, but even Goku, who has become a "Super Saiyan 3", is no match for his strength. Beerus and Whis then head to Earth. Meanwhile, Bulma's birthday party is being held at Capsule Corporation on Earth. When Vegeta hears the news from King Kai that the God of Destruction is coming, he also becomes impatient and trembles, knowing how terrifying he is. However, the two, who were curious about the feast lined up at the venue, were welcomed as guests by Bulma and the others who knew nothing about them. Pilaf's Gang sneaks into the venue, aiming for the Dragon Balls, and a bit of a commotion ensues, but Vegeta frantically follows Beerus to avoid angering him. However, after an argument with Majin Buu, Beerus finally explodes in anger. Goku rushes to the place where no one can stop the rampaging Beerus. Goku wishes he could become a "Super Saiyan God" and uses the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron and ask him how to do so. Will Goku become a "Super Saiyan. God" and be able to protect the Earth from Beerus' destruction...!?

King Pilaf checks who is the strongest!! The real championship
The TV anime "Dragon Ball Z" is also filled with people worthy of the title of "strongest"! Goku has fought against powerful enemies with high fighting ability. Some of them later became Goku's friends. Since Pilaf Gang also aims to "conquer the world", of course you know about them, right? Let's introduce the legendary strongest members with pilaf comments☆
Vegeta
"Dragon Ball Z" Saiyan Edition (April 1989 - February 1990)
He came to Earth to fulfill his wish of "eternal youth and life" with the Dragon Balls.
He has such intelligence and strength that even Frieza recognizes him as a ``genius.
He was such a cool guy that he abandoned her friend Nappa (left).
Pilaf's comment: If you're smart, I can't lose either!
Freeza
"Dragon Ball Z" Frieza Edition (February 1990 - September 1991)
The evil emperor is feared throughout the universe for his ruthlessness and extraordinary fighting ability. He can transform up to his fourth form, and his power increases explosively with each transformation. He destroyed Planet Vegeta, the homeworld of the Saiyans.
Pilaf's comment: I...I won't be scared just because he erased a planet!
Artificial Humans
"Dragon Ball Z" Cell Edition (November 1991 - July 1993)
Androids created by Dr. Gero. No. 16 is based on a robot, while twins No. 17 and 18 are based on humans. They have a built-in permanent energy reactor and have strength comparable to that of a Super Saiyan. They're cool, but they also have a human heart.
Pilaf's comment: The trio... they were copying us!
Cell
"Dragon Ball Z" Cell Edition (November 1991 - July 1993)
The strongest android created by Dr. Gero. The cells of many warriors such as Goku and Vegeta are synthesized, and the abilities of each can be used in the same way. It gains power by absorbing living things.
Pilaf's comment: It wouldn't be fun to absorb me!
Majin Boo
"Dragon Ball Z" Majin Boo Edition (September 1993 - January 1996)
A demon created by the evil wizard Bibidi. He innocently enjoys the fight and eats his opponent as candy. His body can change freely and has the ability to regenerate even if it falls apart. It split into Buu with a bad heart and Buu with a good heart.
Pilaf's comment: Don't be fooled by this guy's smiling face!
Is this guy really strong!?
Master Roshi
At first glance, he is a slutty old man, but he is Goku's master and is actually a celebrity known as a martial arts master. If he fights with all his heart...he'll be the strongest!? He loves erotic books and DVDs!
Pilaf's comment: I can't lose to this erotic old man!
The true strongest is Goku after all!? This is the Super Saiyan!
Normal
Goku, who trains every day, has outstanding fighting ability even without becoming a Super Saiyan.
Super Saiyan
The combat power is about 50 times that of normal. His hair shines golden and flies up, and he goes into a mild state of mental excitement.
Super Saiyan 2
The aura surrounding his body becomes stronger and his muscles grow larger. Of course, the power and speed are also significantly increased!
Super Saiyan 3
His body will become stronger and his hair will grow longer. Just by transforming, he releases enough power to destroy his surroundings, but his energy consumption is also intense. His eyes have also become sharper and more combative!
The new evolution of Saiyans...! Super Saiyan God
The strongest Saiyan known as the "Legendary Savior". To transform, you need "Saiyans with five righteous hearts''. Goku's transformed appearance features red hair and a slimmer body than before.
A great ape appears! Be careful of Saiyans with tails!
Saiyans with tails transform into great apes when they see the full moon. Their combat power increases, and those who cannot maintain their rationality go on a rampage. Pilaf and his gang had a scary experience before when Goku became a great ape and went on a rampage.
Finally, the “strongest” likely winner appears!?
Beerus
Those who have appeared so far have become stronger by training their own abilities or absorbing the strengths of others. However, Beerus is a “god” who rules over destruction. Being strong is a natural thing. A rather reckless opponent to fight. Will Beerus be the “strongest”!?
Scared Pilaf Gang image: Pilaf Gang... get out!! This...this guy looks seriously dangerous...
Note: The next pages are a bingo quize, staff interviews and merchandise.
