When it comes to Toriyama Akira's "Dragon Ball", in the eyes of the post-00s, it is "Dragon Ball Super", and in the eyes of the post-80s, more memory may be the "Dragon Ball" comic book. Not to mention "Dragon Ball Super", "Dragon Ball" + "Dragon Ball Z" + "Dragon Ball to Mojin Buu" series Dragon Ball anime used to be an anime work that was chased by the post-80s and post-90s. Especially the Saiyan Arc + Namek Arc + Sharu Arc in "Dragon Ball Z", the climax is repeated, Vegeta, Frieza, No. 17, No. 18, Sharu's enemies are getting stronger and stronger, no matter the storyline or the fight. They are all very imaginative, and they have been remade into "Dragon Ball Change", and the pictures are more refined.
But even in such a perfect Dragon Ball universe, the appearance of "Dragon Ball Movie" Broly is still eye-catching.
I remember when I first saw the "Dragon Ball Theatrical Version", it was still on DVD, because I had no idea about the "Theatrical Version" and "OVA" (original disc animation), I thought "Dragon Ball Z: Burn Out!" Hot battle, fierce battle, super fierce battle" "Dragon Ball Z: Dangerous Two! Ultra Warriors Can't Sleep" "Dragon Ball Z: Ultra Warriors Destroyed!" Broly, who appeared for the first time in Victory Must Be Me, is a character from a cottage (later I learned that Uncle Toriyama did not participate in the production), and after the plot of the abuse of Goku and Vegeta, it is simply a bug-level existence. In 2019, the theatrical version of "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" was released in China. As a Dragon Ball fan, I saw "Dragon Ball" on the big screen for the first time. The dazzling picture and the legend of the story have refreshed me. Knowledge of theatrical animation. Later, I learned that this theatrical version was a work that Toriyama Akira was deeply involved in. Master Toriyama finally changed his attitude from disapproval of Broly to a supportive attitude. From then on, Broly officially became the third Saiya after Goku and Vegeta. people.
Of course, "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" is a reconstruction of the Broly theatrical version of the first three "Dragon Ball Z" movies. It is a parallel universe. Not only does it have breakthroughs in graphics and technology, but also the plot points directly to Star Vegeta. , which describes the process of Frieza's extermination of Star Vegeta in more detail. The origins of Goku and Broly are more clear. Even in the theatrical version of the Dragon Ball series, it is also recognized as a good work.
But for me, the most shocking is the first "Dragon Ball Z: Burn Out!" Hot battle, fierce battle, super fierce battle". why? The reason is simple: in the "Dragon Ball" story, Goku has always been the first protagonist; entering the "Dragon Ball z" stage, the Dragon Ball story enters the cycle mode of two protagonists - Goku and Vegeta - although the middle The Sharu chapter of "Goku + Gohan" will be interspersed, and Vegeta was once reduced to a supporting role, but the plot came to Majin Buu, Dragon Ball Super, and the dual protagonist mode of Goku and Vegeta finally won Toriyama Approved by Ming and Dragon Ball fans. The appearance of Broly broke this pattern. This feeling is different from Frieza, Sharu, Buu, even the God of Destruction and the King of All, because Broly is the same family and the same kind of Goku and Vegeta. , The talent is higher than the two, and it is the real "Legendary Super Saiyan", which makes Dragon Ball fans love and hate.
The success of the theatrical version of Broly's story can be analyzed from the following aspects:
1. Successfully connected with the main line of the story. In "The Namek Arc", Frieza mentioned the "Legendary Super Saiyan" many times, although Goku ended Frieza with a yellow-haired "Super Saiyan", but " A "Super Saiyan" is not necessarily a "Legendary Super Saiyan". The theatrical version made Broly appear and solved the problem of the "Legendary Super Saiyan", which made people not feel awkward.
2. Set up a success. Wukong won the super competition, relying on anger. But the emergence of Broly tells us that talent is more important. However, his usual mildness and irrationality when he is angry make his personality extremely split, which is impressive. As for abilities, whether it's Goku or Vegeta, fighting alone can't compare to Broly. They're basically tortured, and the settings that don't use transformations have also refreshed our perception of Super Saiyans. You know, this villain's ability setting is different from Frieza, Sharu, and Majin Buu.
3. Continuing the freshness of the Dragon Ball story. The reason why Dragon Ball Story is so popular is that Uncle Toriyama will continue to create freshness. There is no doubt that Broly has this freshness. He is not an alien like Frieza, Sharu, Majin Buu, but a Saiyan, but not an ordinary Saiyan. The Broly story extends the Dragon Ball universe, giving Dragon Ball more room to expand its imagination. This allows us to wonder: Could Broly represent the seventh universe?
