Toriyama's prose
about the upcoming film, its ties to Super, and Toyotaro's manga:
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
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.
Why not the magic stick be given to Gotendo?

It is? Must not be the last one.
I don't think "episode" was being used literally.
But yeah this sounds like a proper team-up with Frieza against an actual villain.

This song needs more love.I'm just disappointed that the movie title is so lazy.
Dragon Ball: What the fuck is trying? We'll just slap a new hair color on Goku, have him scream a bunch, make you think Vegeta will be relevant for a hot minute, and you fucking marks will buy it every time.

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

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.
