Dragon Ball Z: Revival of "F" (ドラゴンボールＺ 復活の「Ｆ」), is the fifteenth Dragon Ball Z movie. The movie will be released in theaters in Japan 18 April 2015 in 2D and 3D formats.
After peace returned to Earth following the battle with God of Destruction Beerus, the surviving remnants of Frieza’s forces, Sorbet and Tagoma, approached, seeking the Dragon Balls. Their objective: to revive Frieza
in order to bring his forces back to power. That worst wish in history
is granted at last, and the resurrected Frieza plots his vengeance
against Goku and the other Saiyans... And so, Frieza’s new army advances on Earth, and Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin clash with a thousand soldiers. Goku and Vegeta challenge Frieza to a fated duel, but Frieza had attained an overwhelming power-up!
“Allow me to show you… my further evolution!”
Now, for warriors beyond their limits, the curtain was about to open on a battle like none before or since .
This film takes place possibly three years after the events of the last Dragon Ball Z Movie, as Beerus is shown to appear in Revival of "F" (and he was put to a 3-year-gap sleep in the previous movie). This film is stated to be set several years before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, in Age 784.
The original series author, Akira Toriyama,
is once again credited with the original concept, script, and drawing
character designs for the film. In the September 2014 issue of the Weekly Shōnen Jump,
Toriyama says that, although he did not plan on it, he is not only
putting a lot of effort in drawing the art, but also "fussing over the
smallest dialogue lines." He promises more action scenes, and teases
that the story will be "utterly funny." To emphasize the effort he has
put into this new film.
Toriyama says that even his first manga editor praised him on the work he has done, even though this editor rarely ever does that. The film tells a story brand new to the series, set after the events of the previous movie, with the series author writing it as a continuation of the Dragon Ball manga serialization. In a previous interview featured in the March 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump, Akira Toriyama said that, in the event that there is talk of another animated film after Battle of Gods, he would like Vegeta to play the main role; however, he added that this is nothing more than intentions, and he had not yet made such a decision.
Additional news surfaced featuring a trailer portraying Frieza fighting
Goku as well as a legion of Frieza's army being set loose.
Two new characters who will appear in the movie are Sorbet and Tagoma.
Both follow the fine nuances of the name puns in the last film as
Sorbet gets his name directly from the frozen dessert “sorbet”, while
Tagoma's name is derived from the Japanese word tamago (卵), meaning
“egg”. As with all of Frieza's minions, elites, mercenaries, and
soldiers, as described by Akira Toriyama in the Super Exciting Guide
volumes, the names are "unified as food items that one puts inside [a
refrigerator]."
Akira Toriyama got the idea for the movie after listening to the song "F" by Maximum the Hormone, and as a way of paying tribute and saying thank you for the idea, he put the "F" in the movie's title as a reference.
At Jump Festa 2015, several details were revealed for the movie's
plot: Krillin has become a police officer, Frieza trains for the first
time in his life, and Goku does not become a Super Saiyan over the
course of the entire movie.
