In a packed theatre at Madison Square Garden, thousands of Dragon Ball Z fans gathered to watch the latest trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Broly. You could feel the energy in the room as fans cheered when members of the English cast walked on stage and gave a standing ovation for Masako Nozawa, the Japanese voice actress for Goku. But all of that energy eventually gave way for the new trailer, which wasn’t full of action, but instead of fascinating looks at how the history of the franchise is being rewritten.
First, it’s just weird seeing Freeza’s first form without chest armor, right? I’m not the only one who thinks that? Anyway, it seems that the beginning of the movie is going to be a retelling of the TV special Bardock: Father of Goku. Bardock is featured prominently, same with King Vegeta and Broly’s father, Paragus, and we even see Goku’s mom for a bit! I forgot he had one of those. Then there are cameos from Dodoria, Zarbon, and the Ginyu Force, as we watch planet Vegeta get obliterated in glorious new animation without Bardock’s heroic charge against Freeza. This is shaping up to be the Broly movie that fans have always wanted, full of character development and beautiful fight scenes.
After the panel, I was able to get a chance to interview most of the North American cast members, particularly Christopher Sabat (Vegeta), Sean Schemmel (Goku), Ian Sinclair (Whis), Vic Mignogna (Broly), Jason Douglas (Beerus), and Monica Rial (Bulma) and asked them what they thought about Broly and their general thoughts about the franchise.
