A fan-made Dragon Ball animated video showing Goku fighting the legendary Super Saiyan Broly is going viral on YouTube.
Eduardo Quintana, animation supervisor at Sola Digital Arts, uploaded the popular anime for Dragon Ball fans on his personal YouTube page. The short is less than two minutes long but has such high-quality animation that it could easily be mistaken for an actual film from Toei, the official animation studio of the Dragon Ball franchise. According to Quintana, the fan-made short film took him 14 months to complete using Toon Boom Harmony, Autodesk Maya and Audacity software programs.
Titled Dragon Ball Saisen – The Animated Manga, Quintana’s viral video takes place against the backdrop of the 2018 theatrical animated film Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The film begins with Whis officiating a match between Goku and Broly after training together for a long time, told through a motion comic presentation. Once the match begins, the movie will switch from the manga plot to a fully animated showdown between powerful Saiyan warriors.
During the battle, Broly almost lost his temper after a punch from Goku scratched his face. However, after remembering the happy memories he had with Goku and his friends, Broly is able to return to his Hulk-like transformation and become a controlled Super Saiyan version of himself. Currently, the fan-made Dragon Ball animated video has garnered more than 60,000 views since its release on November 7.
Since his introduction in the 1993 anime film Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly has become a fan-favorite character in the Dragon Ball universe. His popularity prompted two more animated films: Dragon Ball Z: Broly – Second Coming and Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly. Both films were released in 1994. Dragon Ball Super: Broly reintroduced the Legendary Super Saiyan into the series’ official canon while continuing where the Dragon Ball Super television series left off. Takao Koyama is credited as the creator of Broly, while Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama is responsible for the design.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers Season 4 recently introduced Broly as a Raider character in celebration of its one-year anniversary. The online asymmetric multiplayer game is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. Publisher Bandai Namco is also behind other anime games like My Hero Ultra Rumble and Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash.
