The original series author, Akira Toriyama, is once again credited with the original concept, script, and drawing character designs for the film. Serving as a sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, it is placed between the chapters 517 and 518 of the manga. It is stated to be set several years before the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament, in Age 784. The film takes place during the three years that Beerus was meant to sleep for after the events of Battle of Gods, as Beerus is shown to appear, being unable to get proper sleep due to Goku and Vegeta’s training on his planet. Frieza also decides to transform into his Ultimate Evolution state: Golden Frieza. Goku and Vegeta challenge Frieza to a fated duel, but Frieza had attained an overwhelming power-up. Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, and Master Roshi clash with an army of at least one thousand soldiers. Later on, Frieza’s new army advances on Earth. But due to him being a prodigy, Frieza states that through four months of serious training, he would be able to reach a level of power high enough to wipe out the Saiyans in the blink of an eye. Sorbet informs Frieza that Goku’s power has surpassed that of even Majin Buu, which is far more than Frieza could have ever imagined. Tagoma then says that Frieza should just ignore Goku and the other Saiyans, then Frieza angrily kills Tagoma with a quick Ki blast. As soon as Frieza’s body is regenerated, he announces to his soldiers that he will not be satisfied until Goku and Trunks have both been killed. Frieza’s body is regenerated and he reverts himself back into his first form. Sorbet and Tagoma collect all of the pieces of Frieza and put the organic parts in a healing chamber. Over 14 years after his demise at the hands of Future Trunks, Frieza is resurrected just as he was before his death, as Mecha Frieza and in pieces.


That worst wish in history is granted at last. However, Emperor Pilaf and the rest of his gang encounter Tagoma and Sorbet, and they decide to help gather the Dragon Balls to help them revive Frieza. Their objective is to revive Frieza in order to bring his forces back to power. After peace returned to Earth following the battle with God of Destruction Beerus in the previous movie, surviving remnants of Frieza’s forces ( Sorbet and Tagoma) approach the planet, seeking the Dragon Balls.
