Overview

Set after the Tournament of Power, Dragon Ball Super: Broly brings the franchise’s most feared Saiyan into official canon for the first time. Earth is at peace, and Goku and Vegeta are training harder than ever, when a mysterious warrior named Broly arrives — a Saiyan who was supposed to have died with Planet Vegeta. Exiled as an infant and raised on a harsh, desolate world by his father Paragus, Broly has grown into a fighter of terrifying, untamed power. When Frieza returns and seizes on Broly as a weapon against his old enemies, the stage is set for a collision between three Saiyans raised in completely different worlds. Written by series creator Akira Toriyama, the film reframes Broly as a sympathetic figure rather than a simple villain, while delivering some of the most spectacular, high-energy battles in Dragon Ball history — a dazzling mix of hand-drawn action, shifting art styles, and planet-shaking spectacle.
