What surprises will this theatrical version that gathers global attention like a vitality bomb give us?

The Dragon Ball series came out in 1984 and was officially animated in 1986. There are a total of 42 manga and 508 chapters in the main anime. It was definitely a well-deserved masterpiece in the last century. This animation also became the first animation work in the 11 districts that became a social topic at that time. No matter it is born in the 70s, 80s, 90s or even 00s in the world, everyone knows the domineering move of "Turtle Qigong". Dragon Ball has indeed accompanied the growth of countless people, and also carried countless people's fond memories of childhood.
Every time I think of the colorful paintings on the coloring page of Book 42 of the manga (the final book) that Wukong turns and says bye to us, I feel a little sour in my heart. In May 1995, Akira Toriyama finally ended his serialization of the Dragon Ball Z manga part. Although an animation of Dragon Ball GT will be released later, I personally think that Dragon Ball has already ended as early as Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball GT is not just another work authored by Shueisha and Toei Animation Co., Ltd. It is seriously deviated from the original design of Akira Toriyama in the style of animation and the world view. But undoubtedly, Dragon Ball GT is also an excellent work.
For many years I have been collecting all aspects of Dragon Ball, such as figures, posters, cards, etc. The most important thing is to keep collecting many movies of the Dragon Ball series. The theater version and OVA must be collected. In fact, there are many advertisements and even I have also paid attention to the fire safety promotion short. Gradually, it was discovered that Dragon Ball had actually become a reliable propaganda carrier from a simple hot-blooded animation, which also strongly proved the unshakable status of Dragon Ball in the animation industry from the side.
Having said that, let's talk about the main thing. Regarding the theater version of this Dragon Ball series launched in 2013, why is it worth looking forward to? From a strict definition point of view, the GT plot is not original by Toriyama, and is not excluded from the original biography; the seventeenth theater version of "The Way to the Strongest" This is the first reissue of the Dragon Ball series, which tells the story It's another matter entirely (in fact, this film doesn't even have a movie on the Internet, and some are just text descriptions) and it is not excluded from originality; OVA, special articles, etc., and the amount of information are not large, and they are also excluded. Strictly speaking, it comes from the 16th movie "Dragon Fist Outbreak!" Who is it for me! Since its release on July 15, 1995, the history of Dragon Ball has never been extended. After 18 years, time will start again. Isn’t this worth our excitement? And this time the theater version will be personally supervised by Toriyama Akira, and the plot is highly observable.
The announcement of the movie on JUMP for the theatrical version can be said to have lost the appetite of the majority of anime fans. Except for the certainty that it will be released on March 30, 2013, everything else is unknown, even the title "The Strongest, "Beginning" may not necessarily be the title of the theater version, just a slogan. The official website of the theater version is also empty. For this reason, I visited many forums, posted it and so on, and collected a lot of interesting predictions:
—— 1. The fighting also supervised by Toriyama himself has two in "Dragon Ball Z: Breakthrough" on the PS3 platform. The hidden characters that must be collected through the Dragon Ball collection and then made a wish are Broly Super 3 Form and Vegeta Super 3 Form. Whether these two characters will appear in the theater version has become the focus of discussion. (By the way, Broly really played the box office in the theater version. He has already played the villain protagonist in 3 theatrical versions. He has already been beaten to the sun. Is it coming again this time?)
——2. The last few pages of the manga, even Toriyama himself mentioned that this is not the end of the story in the last cover of the manga. As the reincarnation of the demon Puwu, Wupu has always been expected by Wukong. From this plot, Wupu will certainly have a certain role in the theater version. After all, Wupu's character setting is quite bullish, he is even at a young age and he has extraordinary learning ability, and he has been trained under Wukong for 10 years. Isn't it going to be against the sky? At the same time, the fan work "Dragon Ball Z: Zero World" also gives us a kind of thought, will Wup be darkened? Maybe it's really black. (Hey, don’t just make up your mind~
——3. This time is set 10 years after hitting Majin Puwu, which is two years after hitting Majin Puwu in the 16th bullet movie. The time has been extended for another 8 years, and it is also consistent with the time setting of Dragon Ball GT. So it is reasonable to speculate that this theatrical version will become a successor to Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. This is the last thing I want to watch. As a result, after all, the worldview of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT are also a bit different. If you do this, it will greatly limit the development of this theater version. (I always feel that the image of Super 4 is better than Super 123.
"Dragon Ball Z: Badal Gaiden" was released on TV just a few years ago. The timeline is set at the forefront of the entire Dragon Ball series (after all, it involves crossing Oh~ Alas~ the theme of travel this year is really hot), the amount of information about this OVA is not generally large. This OVA explains why the Frieza clan is afraid of Saiyans, and more importantly, it explains the original Wukong’s father didn’t die! What’s more popular is that it turns out that Wukong’s father has super Saiyan skills. A new fan was launched in April of 2008, so that I was deceived. In the new fan in April, there are Saint Seiya’s Xiaoqiang, without Dragon Ball! Can I speak foul language?) So there is a reasonable guess, after all, Goku’s father Will it appear in the theatrical version? If it appears, what kind of character will it appear?
Alas~ Whether it is the official website or the public opinion, this time the theater version gives us too much expectations. It reminds me that Wukong was finally lost. The vitality bomb that gathers the vitality of the whole earth is coming out. What surprises this theater version that gathers global attention will give us, let us wait and see!
