A few weeks back, there were rumblings of a new Dragon Ball film on the horizon thanks
to a batch of URLs being registered that followed the pattern of the previous films.
Well, those URLs haven't been put into use yet, but a new Dragon Ball film was just announced
at Jump Festa in Japan.
Jump Festa being an annual convention dedicated to the various Shonen Jump properties.
This was supposed to be a surprise announcement during the Dragon Ball Heroes panel, but its
existence was leaked about an hour earlier, so that kind of went out the window.
Here's what we know so far: It is coming out in December 2018 – so a
year from now.
It's being written by Akira Toriyama, and he is once again in charge of the character
designs – but to clarify, that doesn't mean for the actual film, as in the look of
everything will suddenly change from Super.
It just means he's creating the actual design and backstory of the characters which will
then be adapted into actual character designs for animation by whoever is appointed the
character designer, and most likely animation supervisor.
Plot-wise, we haven't been given anything crazy specific yet.
A representative from Shueisha came on stage and gave us what he described as a hint.
He said that the film is going to cover "the strongest warrior race in the universe – the
Saiyans", and that it will revolve around their origins and what it means to be one.
That's all we know officially, but we can make some educated guesses about the staff
on the production, and again, with the story.
As the current Universe Survival arc began, we got ourselves two brand new series directors
for Super – Tatsuya Nagamine and Ryota Nakamura.
Nagamine was credited first, and Nakamura second, meaning Nagamine was leading the production.
When episode 113 rolled around, mysteriously Nakamura was given the first credit, while
Nagamine sat in second.
This can happen for a few reasons: it can mean they're leaving the series soon as
we've seen with Super's other series directors, but it can also mean they're taking a step
back to focus on something else – in this case a film.
For those who are fans of One Piece, you'll know One Piece Z was beautifully animated
and had some stellar direction, and that came from Nagamine – he's no stranger to directing
big feature films – and considering this will be the 20th Dragon Ball related film,
it definitely makes sense for someone like him to be on board to ensure it's really
special.
I think it has the potential to be anyway, just based on these announcement times.
One Piece Film Z was announced 13 months in advance, and now this is being announced a
year in advance.
For comparison, Battle of Gods was announced in July of 2012 and came out in March 2013,
and Resurrection F was July again - 2014, and that came out in April 2015.
So this is the longest we've had between announcement and release for a Dragon Ball
film since the big revival.
That's definitely promising for a production, and a Christmas release is always a good sign.
Again, all of One Piece's huge productions have had Christmas releases.
As far as animation goes, I'll be very surprised if Tadayoshi Yamamuro isn't one again taking
charge as character designer and chief animation supervisor.
He tackles basically anything huge when it comes to Dragon Ball.
It should be expected at this point.
It would obviously be great if someone like Takahashi were to get the role, but unfortunately
that's just not how Japan works.
I got a lot of questions on Twitter about how this might affect Super's animation
quality, and I think that's a valid concern.
I covered it a little bit in the URL video, but I'll go over it very briefly again.
I think just about any movie puts a real strain on its TV counterpart, but it doesn't always
have visible effects.
Super won't suddenly turn into the Resurrection F era again as a result.
The current arc wraps up in March, so as always, we'll find ourselves with a sort of filler
arc before the next thing rolls around.
We had about 10 weeks worth of inbetween material last time, so I wouldn't be surprised to
see that stretched out a little further for the sake of the film.
A huge batch of conservative episodes would allow for the talented action animators to
strut their stuff on the new film.
If Nagamine is indeed directing, then he'll no doubt pull in some of his external talented
contacts, too.
It's definitely a very viable way of going about things and should work out nicely if
we're to assume the film is currently in pre-production.
As far as story goes, it wouldn't surprise me if this were a film focused on the character
of Yamoshi, the original Super Saiyan that Toriyama revealed in a recent interview.
I'll leave a link in the description for the full details, but essentially he was a
Saiyan with a righteous heart who started a rebellion, went Super Saiyan, was defeated,
and then his spirit wandered about in search of other righteous-hearted Saiyans so they
could form the Super Saiyan God.
It might have nothing to do with this considering how much he spelt out here, but it's not
the first time we've had a hint dropped in an interview prior to a movie announcement.
For example, Tagoma's scouter in Resurrection F was described in an interview just before
the announcement.
Not quite as detailed but definitely food for thought.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of tone this story takes – a lot of Toriyama's
recent work has been really bleak.
From Goku losing against everyone, to the Future Trunks arc, and now the universe erasures
in this current arc – it's all gloom and doom.
It wouldn't surprise me if this followed the same pattern.
The press release noted that "The team behind the new film will be making intensive efforts
to ensure that the scale and the quality is the best of the series."
That is 100% lip service, and we won't be able to judge the likelihood of that until
the staff are fully unveiled, but with this being the 20th feature film, and the possibility
of Nagamine directing, it's certainly possible.
But that's all we know for now – I'll keep you updated with any substantial news
in the future.
Let me know what your expectations are for this film.
What do you want the story to focus,on what kind of tone are you looking for, and if you're
big into the production side of things, let me know what animators you think may realistically
show up.
Naotoshi Shida's obviously known for popping up in the final acts of Toe's films, so
maybe he's someone you're looking forward.
