‘Dragon Ball Z’ 2015 Release Date In Japan: Launches 'Golden Week' Holiday

Fans of the legendary anime series, 'Dragon Ball Z', will have something to look forward to in 2015, as new reports claim that another movie will be released in Japanese theaters during Japan's "Golden Week" holiday, taking place in April or May 2015.

The upcoming 'Dragon Ball' movie adaptation is said to be different from the previous ones, since manga creator Akira Toriyama is involved in creating the original concept, screenplay and character designs for the said movie.

In an interview with Weekly Shonen Jump, the 59-year-old artist confirmed that the film will have a new story that will pick up after the events of 'Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods'. Toriyama also added that the storyline for the movie is intended to be a continuation of the manga's story.

"This time will of course be a continuation of the previous Battle of Gods, but I've deliberately increased the amount of action scenes by a good deal," Toriyama said.

It has been speculated that the upcoming animated film will focus on the character Vegeta, but other reports say that is unlikely, according to Dragon Ball Insider. It has been noted, however, that anything can happen, since there is still no confirmation about the actual storyline of the movie.

"With regards to the contents, they told me, 'Keep it a secret!' like they're all high-and-mighty, so I can't touch on it yet, but it should be super-duper interesting!," said the artist.

Meanwhile, a trailer for the upcoming movie has already been released.

The trailer for the movie opens with a wish-granting dragon being summoned, and a text that reads "I'd like you to revive someone."

In the next scenes, another line appears which states "The history's worst battle. Despair begins now."

The 'Dragon Ball Z' 2015 movie is said to be the 19th film adaptation of the original 'Dragon Ball based manga.
