What happens

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (Japanese: ドラゴンボール超（スーパー） ブロリー, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Sūpā Burorī) is a 2018 Japanese animated martial arts fantasy adventure film. It is the twentieth animated feature film in the Dragon Ball franchise, the first to carry the Dragon Ball Super branding, and is the third film in the franchise to be personally supervised by series creator Akira Toriyama. The film serves as a canonical reimagining of the Broly character from the films Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan (1993), Broly – Second Coming (1994), and Bio-Broly (1994) into the main Dragon Ball continuity. Set after the events of the Universe Survival Saga, the plot follows Goku and Vegeta as they encounter the powerful Saiyan named Broly. The film chronicles the history of the Saiyans and the background story of these three Saiyans with different destinies connected to the turbulent period of their race. The film was released in Japan on December 14, 2018, by Toei and 20th Century Fox Japan. It was well received by critics, especially for its animation, fight sequences, and art style, and was a box office success, grossing over $124 million worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing Dragon Ball film ever. It also became the highest-grossing anime film of 2018 and, at the time, the third highest-grossing anime film in the United States and Canada and the twelfth highest-grossing anime film of all time. It was the final Dragon Ball film co-distributed by 20th Century Fox, following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney on March 20, 2019. A sequel, titled Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, was released in June 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
