How Did Those Guys Get So Strong Anyway?
Goku and Vegeta will always be our favourite Sayains. While one fights for hone his skills, the other does it out of an unyielding sense of pride. However, the fact remains both have grown so strong that they can go toe to toe with alien overlords, demons, and even Gods of Destruction. It’s only a matter of time before they ascend to the next level. That’s just the way the series is; the Sayain race always finds a way to get stronger, in both victory and defeat.
But what was the origin of their incredible strength? It’s a fascinating topic that hasn’t really been explored beyond training montages and a few comments about their alien biology. Now it seems that creator Akira Toriyama is going to be exploring that aspect in the latest upcoming Dragon Ball film.
According to an article on Anime News Network –
Toei Animationrevealed on Saturday at the Jump Festa 2018 event that it is developing the 20th anime film in Akira Toriyama‘s Dragon Ballfranchise. The film is slated to open in Japan in December 2018.
The film’s theme will be “Saiyans: The strongest fighting race in the universe,” and will depict the “origin” of the strength of the Saiyan race. Toriyama is credited with the original work, script, and character design.
The first Dragon Ball film, Dragon Ball Movie 1: Curse of the Blood Rubies, opened in Japan in December 1986. A new film opened once a year between 1986 and 1989, and then two films opened each year between 1990-1995. One more film then opened in 1996.
The film franchise then took a 17-year break, and the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods film opened in Japan in March 2013. The film earned 2.99 billion yen (about US$26.5 million by today’s conversion) in Japan. In 2015, the Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ film opened, and it earned 3.74 billion yen (about US$33.1 million) in Japan.
Hopefully Toriyama can pull out another winner by giving us plenty of fierce bouts, and maybe even a brand new transformation? Dragon Ball Super has raised the bar so high that it’s about time Goku and Vegeta were given an upgrade!
