Dragon Ball Super" movie will be released on December 14 (Friday)! Comments from the original author, Akira Toriyama, and a teaser visual are released!

The release date of the new movie "Dragon Ball Super," the 20th commemorative "Dragon Ball" movie, has been set for December 14, 2018 (Friday). The movie will be released on December 14, 2018 (Friday), with a comment from the original author, Akira Toriyama, and a teaser visual.

Dragon Ball Super" is the latest TV series after 18 years since the masterpiece "Dragon Ball". The story is completely new, based on Akira Toriyama's original idea, and takes place after Goku's epic battle with Majin Buu and the restoration of peace on Earth, a story that has not been depicted in the original story. The series director is Kimitoshi Jioka of "Graveyard Kitaro" and "God Family," and the character design is by Naoki Yamamuro, who directed "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'".

The production of the new movie, which will be the 20th commemorative "Dragon Ball" movie, was announced last December and has been the talk of the town, but now the teaser visual and main staff have finally been unveiled.

The title of the movie is tentatively "Dragon Ball Super" (tentative), and the release date has been set for December 14 (Friday). In addition, a comment from Akira Toriyama, who is in charge of the original story, script, and character design, has arrived. From the content of the comment, it was revealed that it will be the next episode of the "Dragon Ball Super" TV anime. This will be the first "Dragon Ball Super" movie to be made.

The first such "Dragon Ball Super" movie will be directed by Tatsuya Nagamine, who is the series director for the current "Dragon Ball Super" and also directed "One Piece Film Z". The director of the film is up-and-coming Naohiro Shintani, who was also the director of "ONE PIECE FILM Z." He has been selected to direct the film's animation.

Mr. Shintani, who was carefully selected by audition and this is the first time for him to work as an animation director, has worked with Mr. Toriyama many times and newly designed the character for the new work. The color palette is close to that of the original work, and the silhouettes have been tightened to bring out the action.
The white background of the visuals foreshadows a new development, and as the catchphrase suggests, this is where the "super" movie version will finally begin.
We look forward to hearing more about what the story will be about.

Akira Toriyama
The upcoming "Dragon Ball Super" movie will be the next story after the anime currently being aired on TV.
It will be the episode after the climax of the power contest for the survival of the universe and after taking a breather. It will be a story where we can learn a little more about the Saiyans and Frieza, who have not been properly depicted until now, and it will be a very enjoyable story with a very special strong enemy!
I have been writing the story of the movie "Kami to Kami" (2013), the previous "Resurrection "F"", and now this episode as well, and I have also been doing a lot of design illustrations.
Actually, I am as busy as ever, but if I am not working on a serial, I have time to think about the anime, which I used to be completely unaware of (laugh)!
Well, the TV anime will be over for now, but the "DB Super" manga by the very popular Mr. Toyotaro (5 volumes of comics are now on sale!) will continue to be drawn and published. The "DB Chou" manga (5 volumes of comics are now on sale!), drawn by the very popular Mr. Toyotaro, will continue to be developed. There will be different developments from the TV anime and the movie, so please look forward to it. Please look forward to it as well!
