It was announced on the official website of the 20th Dragon Ball film that the Dragon Ball Super anime film (still with a tentative title) is slated to premiere on December 14. Aside from the announcement, the website also revealed a new visual.
The teaser visual is translated “ ‘Super’ movie version begins.” Masako Nozawa will star as the voice of the franchise’s protagonist, Son Goku.
The Dragon Ball Super anime premiered in 2015 in Japan. The creator of the series Akira Toriyama confirmed in his comments that the show will be ending “for now.”
He also commented about the upcoming film:
“This Dragon Ball Super film is the next story after the currently airing television anime. The story takes place after the climax of the Tournament of Power, where the fate of the universe was at stake, and the short rest that follows. It will give a few previously unwritten details about the Saiyans and Frieza, as well as a long-awaited strong opponent to overcome, and I think it will be an enjoyable story!
From 2013’s Battle of Gods and the last film Resurrection ‘F’ to the current film, I’ve been carefully writing, and I’ve had the pleasure of drawing lots of designs and the like. I’m actually as busy as ever, but while I don’t have to serialize anything I have time to think about the anime, which used to be out of my hands. (laughs) So please look forward to it!
By the way, the television anime is over for now, but Toyotarō’s popular manga (five volumes out now!) is continuing. I think it will have different developments from the television anime and film, so please look forward to it. I certainly will!”
