I'm still waiting for a proper villain crossover. It would be even better if said villains were the Villain Protagonists of an arc like that.

Toriyama's prose about the upcoming film, its ties to Super, and Toyotaro's manga:

The Dragon Ball Super movie this time will be the next story in the series currently airing on TV. It will be an episode after catching our breath from the climax of the Tournament of Power with the universe’s existence on the line; with content that will give a little better understanding about Freeza and the Saiyans, which I hadn’t properly depicted up till now; and leading to a mighty foe saved for the occasion, which I think has it shaping up to be a really enjoyable story.

As with 2013’s Battle of Gods and the last outing Resurrection ‘F’, I’ve written the story myself, and I’ve had the privilege of drawing lots of design illustrations as well. The fact is, while I’m just as busy as ever, as long as I’m not doing a serial, I have plenty of free time to think about the animated version, which I was completely hands-off about before. (laughs) So please look forward to it!

Now then, the animated version on TV will be ending for the time being, but the very popular Dragon Ball Super comic drawn by Toyotaro (on sale now up through volume 5!) will keep on going as-is. I think there will also be story developments different from the TV show and the movie, so please look forward to that as well. I will be, too!

There's also a bit of a production shake-up, such as swapping the usual lead character designer and animation director Tadayoshi Yamamuro note  with Shintani Naohiro note 

[down] Funimation claims to be uploading 13 episodes per set a week or two after the 13th episode has aired on Toonami (since Toonami has the first release rights).

So, it is set after the Tournament of Power but it will also shed light on the history of Freeza and the Saiyans, culminating in a new enemy presumably tied to the Saiyans and Freeza. From this, I'm betting that Freeza sticks around after the Tournament of Power and his presence is part of what prompts this history lesson.

Interesting that it sounds like Toyotaro's manga is going to continue even after it passes the Tournament of Power, and will cover new ground, potentially setting up for a new anime set after the movie.

I really hope Goku uses the Power Pole in the film (and Dragon Ball Super 2, or whatever it'll be called).

On the past topic of Goten, Trunks, and Marron, I was referring to comments made here, in this thread.

So this feels even stronger to me that next year or whatever we are just getting the next part of Super.

A quick Google search gives me nothing aside from Ultra Instinct.

Anyone want to guess about who the new villain is going to be? Based on the premise, I'm guessing its either a Saiyan, Freeza race, or Tuffle, since those are the three species most commonly associated with the past Saiyans.

Wait am I missing something?

What's Dragon Ball Ultra?

I assume Sharknado is upset the movie is a sequel to Dragon Ball Super instead of a prequel Yamoshi movie like people had been speculating.

I don't think "episode" was being used literally.

But yeah this sounds like a proper team-up with Frieza against an actual villain.

I think it's both. The first and third acts are going to be set after the Tournament of Power, but the second act is going to be a history lesson on the Saiyans, setting up the villain for the third act.

I'm down with that. I really, really didn't want a Saiyan prequel movie. I don't find the Saiyans' history all that interesting.

Well hopefully its an improvement over Resurrection F.

Also a Tuffle Big Bad would be cool.

Kinda reminds me of the whole Saiyan Predator race I thought of a while back.

I'm just disappointed that the movie title is so lazy.

They shouldn't have used Z so early, it's far from over.
