"Dragon Ball Super: Broly": 10 facts you should know before watching the movie

This Thursday, January 10, the film that will integrate Broly in the official story of the Dragon Ball saga arrived in theaters in Latin America.

This Thursday the long-awaited "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" was finally released, a film created under the seal of Akira Toriyama and whose great contribution will be to formalize one of the most powerful enemies that Goku faced in the Dragon Ball Z tapes. . This note contains 10 fundamental points to understand the story if you did not get to see the last Dragon Ball Super anime.

1.- The time in which the story unfolds
"Dragon Ball Super: Broly" centers its history on the events that took place after the Force Tournament, whose winner was the Universe 7. This tournament faced different universes in a battle for the survival of their home. After the fight, Goku and the warriors returned to earth to continue with their lives, that's where the film's events begin.

2.- In the movie Goku comes to earth as a child and not a baby
In the advances that were presented, it was striking that Goku appeared in the capsules - fleeing from the destruction of the planet Vegito - being a child and not a baby as seen in the Dragon Ball Z anime. This is because the images that they show Goku coming to earth as a baby belong to Toei Animation, and they are not part of the work done by Akira Toriyama.

In the manga "Dragon Ball Minus: The Departure of the Fated Child", Toriyama narrates the last moments of the Saiyayin race and introduces Gine, Goku's mother, and the three-year-old Saiyayin being sent to earth in his armor. battle.

3.- Finally! Broly is canon; that is, it is part of the official history
Although it already appeared previously in three Dragon Ball Z movies (Dragon Ball Z: The Invincible Power, Dragon Ball Z: The Return of the Legendary Warrior and Dragon Ball Z: The Final Combat), Broly was never part of the official story, until now. With the arrival of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Toriyama created a new story for the legendary saiyayin, which integrates it into the Dragon Ball canon.

1. Freeza is alive
   In the film Freezer, the evil emperor, lives despite being killed by Trunks in "Dragon Ball Z". This is because the villain was revived by Wiss after helping Universe 7 to win the Strength Tournament.

5.- Goku has a new power that he still does not control
In the last season of the anime Goku could be seen using a new technique called "Migatte no Gokui" which, until now, is his most powerful transformation, even stronger than the Super Saiyayin Blue. However, this technique admired by the gods of destruction has not yet been controlled and Goku can not activate it at will. Will he use it against Broly?

6.- There are more powerful rivals in other universes
The Force Tournament was a good option for the saiyayin protagonists to discover that there are very powerful warriors in the other universes. This was demonstrated when at the end of the battle Goku must join forces with Freezer and Number 17 to defeat Jiren, a member of the Pride Troops and fighter of Universe 11.

7.- Goku and Vegeta reaffirm as the strongest on the planet Earth
At least on our planet, Goku and Vegeta are long superior to other warriors. When both reach the level of Super Saiyayin Blue they become insurmountable by any inhabitant of the Earth.

8.- The story is by Akira Toriyama
Unlike the previous stories in which Broly participated, in this production Akira Toriyama is the genius behind the film that lasts, approximately, 110 minutes; however, the author said in past statements that he delivered enough material for a three-hour film.

9.- Is the story still in the manga?
"Dragon Ball Super" has an official manga that is being developed by Toyotaro and although it has been very similar, it maintains certain differences. Of course, we must consider that the manga did not include the story of Broly and continued in a new adventure centered on the Galactic Patrol and a powerful villain named Moro, the planetary devourer.

10.- La película es hecha para los fanáticos
"Dragon Ball Super: Broly" busca conquistar a los nuevos fanáticos, pero sin descuidar a aquellos que vieron "Dragon Ball Z", así que las referencias al clásico del anime y las anteriores películas estarán incluidos en la historia.
