I'm not sure how Gohand going ssj at that point would've impacted the emotional value of that scene.

Ya know...considering what Karrot did a few moments later would still happen even if he did go ssj.

So, we got some new info about the DBS movie. You have to see it to belive it.

The Tweet that posted this has since been deleted, so it might have been a fake leak. But if it is true, then the movie will have Broly in it.

After seeing the leaked poster, I've rather convinced it's just a hoax.

I hope that if it is Big Green, it's the same savage we all fell in love with. I don't want New Broly to be some complex character with a whole bunch of arbitrary reasons that he turns into a villain. Sometimes simplicity is the best, even though certain groups hate him for that very characterization.

If that really is Broly........ I don’t know what to say.

Seriously it’s so unbelievable that it’s more likely to be fake especially since that leaked poster looks so easily forgeable.

As long as the backstory isn't the old stupid one I don't care one way or the other. It was always gonna be another Saiyan anyway, they're all the same to me.

The scar makes me think it's legit, honestly. It doesn't match Yamcha's and small, pointless design changes like that are generally not present on fakes.

Why wouldn't anyone want Broccoli's old backstory?

It's the best part of his character.

I think the quickest way to tell if it is fake is looking at the japanese and seeing what it says. can anyone read moon runes?

in any case it looks like it could very well be legit- dragon ball isn't exactly known for its stellar movie posters.

That art style doesn't look right to me. If it is Broly though, that's both funny and sad.

If Toei are just trolling with their tweet then that is awesome.

In hindsight, the teaser should have given it away. Who else in the entire franchise bulks up with green energy.

If it really is Broly, then I don't ever want off of Toriyama's wild ride.

But really, after Freeza, this feels like something he would do.

EDIT: [up] Welp, there it is.

The thing I find funny is that according to the rumours leaked in 4chan, the new saiyan (Broly) shows up after Frieza unfreezes him with the Dragon Balls, shows him how Beerus was the guy that ordered the destruction of Planet Vegeta and then Broly goes on to kill Beerus. That's such a worf effect it jumps straight from stupd and goes back to being hilarious. Of course these are only rumours, take them with a grain of salt.

Broly truly is unkillable.

Oh well I guess we all gotta accept it in the end.

A word from Toriyama, from the updated site:

"Everyone, are you familiar with Broly?

He's an incredibly strong Saiyan who only appeared in the old anime movies, and I apparently at least drew the designs for him, but I had practically no involvement with the anime at the time, so I had totally forgotten about the story content.

So, about Broly. I hear these days, he's still very popular not only in Japan, but also overseas. Based on that, my editor suggested we have Broly appear in this next movie.

I went ahead and watched the movies from back then, and I felt this could be quite interesting once I rearrange some things. I got right to work trying my hand at a story that incorporates him into the Dragon Ball Super series.

While keeping in mind Broly's classic image so as not to disappoint his fans, I updated him and added a new side to his character, and I think this has resulted in a more fascinating Broly.

Naturally you’ll get to see fierce combat, but also, the paths of destiny that lead to an encounter between Goku, Vegeta, and Broly. It also involves the Frieza Force and the history of the Saiyans, which end up having a major connection to everything. The story content turns out to be very large-scale and dramatic.

Here comes that almighty Saiyan, Broly! I'm also including lots of other content all you fans will enjoy, so look forward to it, and be patient a while longer for it all to come together!!"

@Vatek:"The mightiest of the series's famous 'legendary Super Saiyans', Broly, makes his entrance!

"The movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly receives its official title and the actual poster is made public! As shown by the tagline 'The Greatest Opponents, the Super Saiyans', the 3 Saiyans who have followed their own destinies will encounter one another..."

That's roughly what it means.
