Akira Toriyama says this http://www.dbmovie-20th.com/

Toriyama said:
The Dragon Ball Super movie this time aroundwill be the next story that takes place after the anime that's currently on TV.The content will shed a little light on previously unexplored topics having to do with Frieza and the Saiyans, and I think it will be a very enjoyable story that serves up a long-awaited formidable opponent!

With 2013's Battle of Gods, the previous installment Resurrection 'F', and now this time too, I've been the one writing the stories. I've also been drawing quite a few things for them, like design illustrations.I'm actually as busy as ever, and if I wasn't serializing anything, I'd have time to think about the anime with which I used to not have enough time to be involved.(laugh) So on that note, I very much hope you look forward to it!

By the way, I think the highly popular Dragon Ball Super manga, drawn by Toyotaro,is going to see some developments different from the TV anime or movies, so please look forward to that. Be sure to check it out, too!

I think they should adapt manga faithfully next time rather than making their own story for next series. (If they will make one XD)

Of course the manga is going to continue. It's more canon than the actual series especially since Akira Toriyama oversees it personally as Toyatarou draws it up. Super the anime is nothing more than a rough draft of the story on screen. But that's just me.


You're completely wrong. If a manga version exists it's because of the anime since Super is primarily a project of Fuji TV/Toei Animation. And both of them are canon in their on way, even if the manga is created to complement the anime as an spin-off.

Also, you're wrong since Toyotaro, Toei Staff and Toriyama are in synergy doing their things and in constant contact with each other as we saw in different interviews about the Super project.

They're not making their own story. The manga is a different media, not the original. Both Toyotaro and Toei are doing their respective works based on the Toriyama drafts of the story and character designs.

In the case of Universal Survival Saga, the three of them are even more involved in the creation of the story and design of the characters with Toei staff doing most of the design for the characters, Toriyama and Toyotaro doing the designs for the new Gods of Destruction, Toriyama creating the design of the main Pride Troopers and also Caulifla and Toriyama creating the draft for the arc for the anime and the manga.

By making their own story i meant that anime storyline is different from the manga.Of course i knew Toriyama is involved in both manga and anime. I just think that Manga's storyline is much better than anime and they should stick with manga.
Just my personal opinion though.

Toyotaro works with Toriyama in every way he can. Read the interviews, throughout the process, they both work together. Toyotaro goes back and forth to the point of annoyance. Toriyama just sends scripts to Toei and they do what they want. Which is why the anime is degraded a lot.

Well the manga already had other confirmed tomes so it was known that the manga will keep going after the ToP.
Wondering if the Character design we got is the one used for the movie.

But now manga is better, so they should stick with manga for next series coz i think chances of super getting a sequel are probably good. Manga has to cover lots of material though since it was behind the anime.

So, it a sequel and it's gonna explore the DB Universe? Thats cool... I think... I hope most of it is actually flashbacks because that way we won't have those God sh*t forms or asspulls... Just a simple, old fashion DB story...

So, he wrote DBZ movie 14 and 15? I have nothing to say to movie 14, it was a little bit above average and enjoyable but movie 15 was horrible as f*ck... Any other DBZ movie was basically better than that! And I thought that the movie was written by the guys on Toei.
That highlights the chance that this movie will probably suck...

He wasn't involve in the anime? Well, that explain why most of it is garbage...

Toyotaro is doing a great job with the story compared to the anime. His writing and story are much more solid and fluid with a, let's say, above average power scaling.
Even though the story is nothing great, it is much much better.

If the manga is going to continue it's serialization, then I hope it goes to a weekly manga because its much easier to make the story...
That way we could also avoid some "unexpected" (garbage) fillers.

I'm not putting spoiler tags, since these are the most basic information one could get about the movie;

So Frieza is probably getting revived again, during the last episode, I guess. I doubt he's going to be villain, but it makes me really curious, why Frieza is involved. Maybe Frieza has another family member, who is even stronger.. duh..
The teaser-spoilers say it's going to be a long-awaited opponent/villain, so it should be someone we already heard about. The original super saiyan god, or maybe Bardock(this seems a bit stupid, since he shouldn't be a villain, except if someone "cursed" him, but we'll see). It can't be Goku's mom either, since she was just an ordinary saiyan, if I remember correctly. Perhaps someone else we had already heard about.

I'm looking forward to further information about the movie. I'm guessing in the last episode, 131 we're getting some more info.

What I pity is that the movie comes out in december, but I live in a country that never has anime movies played in cinemas, so I must wait til 2019 summer, or even more, just to see the movie :( .

Of course Toriyama is more involved in the manga since he's a mangaka and not an animator. Doesn't disqualify anything that I said. Toei directors and producers had different interviews about Toriyama and what he does and what I said is true.

I’m really excited!

No Yamamuro, which is pretty weird. It seems that the character designs have been changed to be more animation-friendly. I can get behind this :)

I’m curious where they’re going with the story after the ToP.

Wrong, both the Super manga and anime are adapting the story from Toriyama's outline.

The movie will be written by him though, a little more hands on then how he is with the series.

Lets think about it, this movie has the "Saiyans" as the subject so... what if the "long awaited enemy" is Baby and he plans his revenge against the Saiyans? They can even show the backstory of the war between them and the Tuffles

Android 17 is back on the series, so Super 17 confirmed for the next arc after the movie? Yep... GT cannon is comming, can't wait to see Gil

Still, a better theorie then the ones that the Latinos create, like that one about El Hermano, or Goku Black being Goten for example.

Blanco happened though, and most of those theories were jokes, and they were purposely bad, just like yours.

My theorie about GT being cannon (which is troll) is still better than that one about the egg that Hit left in the arena to avoid elimination.
