The Saiyan hype is back once again! Dragon Ball Super: Broly is getting a brand-new U.K. Steelbook Blu-ray release this Monday, November 10, courtesy of Crunchyroll.
If you missed your chance to grab this legendary film for your collection, this is the perfect moment to power up your shelf with pure Saiyan glory.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this release — from what’s inside the Steelbook to why Broly remains one of the most loved Dragon Ball movies ever made.
The Return of a Legend — Broly Is Back in Canon
For decades, Broly existed as a non-canon fan-favorite. The original Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan movie dropped back in 1993, showing an unstoppable beast fueled by pure rage. Fans loved his design, his scream, and that iconic line — “Kakarot!”
But in 2018, something special happened. Akira Toriyama, the original creator of Dragon Ball, decided to bring Broly into the official timeline. He rewrote Broly’s story from the ground up — keeping his monstrous strength but adding depth, personality, and a tragic past that made him more than just a shouting brute.
The result? One of the most powerful and emotional Dragon Ball movies ever made.
About the Movie — A Battle That Redefined Saiyan Power
The movie kicks off with Goku and Vegeta continuing their intense training, always chasing the next level of power. Peace never lasts long in the Dragon Ball world, though, and soon they’re faced with a mysterious Saiyan warrior they’ve never met — Broly.
What starts as a friendly spar quickly turns into an all-out war between gods. Broly’s strength seems limitless, pushing both Goku and Vegeta beyond anything they’ve faced before.
And when Broly loses control… the planet itself becomes a battlefield.
This isn’t just another fight — it’s a visual explosion of colors, speed, and raw energy that captures the very heart of Dragon Ball.
Who Made It Happen — The Team Behind the Power
Every masterpiece has its creators, and Dragon Ball Super: Broly brought together some of the best in the anime industry:
- Story & Characters – Akira Toriyama (the genius behind everything Dragon Ball)
- Director – Tatsuya Nagamine (One Piece Film Z)
- Animation Director – Naohiro Shintani (known for his smooth, expressive animation style)
- Art Director – Kazuo Ogura (master of dynamic lighting and atmosphere)
- Music – Norihito Sumitomo (who perfectly captures that epic Dragon Ball energy)
- Color Design – Rumiko Nagai
- Special Effects – Naotake Oota
- CG Director – Kai Makino
The movie was distributed by Toei Animation in collaboration with 20th Century Fox, making it one of the most ambitious Dragon Ball productions ever.

Why Broly Still Dominates Anime Conversations
Even after years, fans still talk about this movie. Why? Because it changed what Dragon Ball fights could look like.
The choreography was fluid, the camera moved like a living thing, and the raw emotion behind the punches made every hit feel personal. You can feel Broly’s rage, Goku’s determination, and Vegeta’s pride clash like never before.
The animation was hand-drawn and digital combined — creating some of the cleanest, most explosive visuals ever seen in anime. It set the standard for what modern Dragon Ball should be.
More Anime Releases This Week
The good news doesn’t stop with Broly. Crunchyroll and MVM have more surprises lined up this week for anime fans and collectors.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation – Season 2 Part 2
Also releasing this Monday is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2, covering episodes 13–24.
Two versions are coming:
- Standard Edition Blu-ray
- Limited Edition Blu-ray, featuring a 120-page art book and eight metallic art cards
The volume continues Rudy’s journey as he steps into adulthood — marrying Sylphiette, starting a new family, and taking on the responsibilities of being a husband, brother, and adventurer.
But when his mother needs saving, Rudy can’t ignore the call, even if it means leaving behind his pregnant wife. The Man-God warns him not to go… but Rudy has never been one to listen easily.
This arc brings emotional depth, stunning new characters, and massive turning points for the story.
The Executioner and Her Way of Life
MVM will also release The Executioner and Her Way of Life on Blu-ray. Based on the light novels by Mato Sato, the anime delivers a dark twist on the “isekai” genre.
Here’s the setup:
The “Lost Ones” are people who get mysteriously transported from Japan to another world. These visitors often bring disaster with them — and it’s the duty of the Executioner, Menou, to eliminate them before chaos spreads.
But when she meets Akari, a cheerful Lost One with immortality, things take a shocking turn. Menou can’t kill her — and that starts a journey that will change both of them forever.
The series was directed by Yoshiki Kawasaki (Ascendance of a Bookworm assistant director) at J.C. Staff, with series composition by Shogo Yasukawa (Food Wars!), and music by MICHIRU (Given, Ascendance of a Bookworm).
Why These Home Releases Matter
Physical anime releases are more than just discs — they’re pieces of art.
For fans, they mean ownership, nostalgia, and support for the creators who make these incredible worlds.
Streaming may be the norm, but collectors know that nothing beats holding a premium case, flipping through an art book, or displaying a Steelbook edition on the shelf.
These releases keep anime culture alive in the physical world — and with Crunchyroll and MVM continuing to produce collector editions, it’s clear that the demand isn’t going away anytime soon.
Fan Reactions and Hype
Since the announcement, social media has been buzzing with excitement. Dragon Ball fans across the U.K. are ready to grab the Steelbook the moment it hits stores.
On Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), users have been sharing nostalgia posts about watching Broly in theaters, calling it “the most cinematic Dragon Ball fight ever animated.”
Collectors are especially thrilled about the artwork design — sleek, metallic, and bursting with color. Some even plan to buy two copies: one to keep sealed, one to display.
It’s the kind of energy only Dragon Ball fans can bring.
Where to Buy
The Dragon Ball Super: Broly U.K. Steelbook Blu-ray will be available through:
- Crunchyroll Store (U.K.)
- Amazon U.K.
- HMV and other select retailers
Pro tip: these editions usually sell out fast, especially the Steelbook versions, so pre-ordering or buying on release day is highly recommended.
What Makes Broly Different from Other Dragon Ball Movies
Broly isn’t just about flashy fights — it’s about legacy. It redefines what it means to be a Saiyan.
In the original Dragon Ball Z movies, Broly was a monster without much depth. Here, he’s a misunderstood warrior, shaped by a cruel father and fate. Toriyama gave him pain, purpose, and humanity — and that made him unforgettable.
It’s also one of the first Dragon Ball movies to fully embrace modern animation technology, blending 2D and 3D in ways that felt natural and fast-paced. That visual leap helped set the tone for what fans can expect from future Dragon Ball projects, like the upcoming Dragon Ball Daima.
A Quick Look Back — The Legacy of Dragon Ball Super: Broly
When Broly hit theaters in 2018, it didn’t just perform well — it exploded. The movie made over $115 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Dragon Ball film of all time.
Critics praised it for its animation and storytelling, and fans celebrated the return of a classic character reimagined with heart.
It wasn’t just a movie — it was a statement: Dragon Ball still reigns supreme.
