Dragon Ball Z: Knights Of Vaporon

Dragon Ball Z: Knights Of Vaporon is the twentieth Japanese animated feature film based on the Dragon Ball series, the sixteenth to carry the Dragon Ball Z branding, and the third film set within the Battle Of Gods-Era. It will be released in both Japan and North America on March 20, 2017. It will also be released in IMAX and IMAX 3D theatres.

Once again, Akira Toriyama is personally supervising the film, following Battle Of Gods and Resurrection 'F'. The Movie will depict the rise of the technology-based villains known as The Virus, led by it's creator Virus-1, and the mysterious Sacred Order of the Knights Of Vaporon. Past movie villains such as Broly and Super Janemba will return. This will be the first Dragon Ball film that will be released in both Japan and North America at the same time. Unlike the previous two movies, however, Knights Of Vaporon will not get a limited release, instead getting a normal release.

Plot:
Taking place 2 years after the events of Resurrection 'F', Goku and Vegeta continue to train with Whis on his and Lord Beerus' planet. However, they have now gotten more comfortable to training together, still to Vegeta's dislike of the idea. While they train, The Virus, a mysterious tech-based cult, has spread across the entirety of Universe-3, with most of it falling prey and succumbing to assimilation, becoming foot soldiers. It's leader, Virus-1, detects an anomoly in Universe-7, finding high power levels originating from there. Setting course for Universe-7, Virus-1 claims to make these warriors mere puppets for The Virus, and the future of the universes. They then travel through a Time Warp and a Space Zone to get there.

Detecting trouble in the Time-Space Continium, Future Trunks and the Time Patrol go out seeking the Virus, only for the Time Patrol to be completely vaporized, with Future Trunks just barely escaping. Trunks then leaves Toki-Toki City for Present Day Earth, seeking to warn Goku, Vegeta and the rest of Earth's mightiest warriors. Trunks arrives on Earth, injured from the near extinction by The Virus, and is found by Gohan and Piccolo. The two take him to the Lookout, where he warns them of the impending danger. Goku and Vegeta quickly come back to Earth, where they reunite with a distraught Future Trunks, years after fighting with him against the Androids and Cell. Before they could summon the whole Z-Fighters, 2 mysterious warriors with swords and in armor arrive, rapidly knocking all of them down to the ground. They also take an unconscious Gohan with them. Before Goku and Vegeta can go Super Saiyan God, they are both shot down by a unknown sniper. However, more of the same warriors arrive, driving the two away and saving the downed heroes.

The 3 warriors who saved them start explaining who they are, with them being Knight Leon, Knight Sies, and Knight Xanabal. They come from a sacred order known as the Knights Of Vaporon. They had watched over all 12 Universes, and travelling to areas to stop dangers that are unlike anything the Z-Fighters had ever faced. Unfortunately, a new villain appeared, known as simply The Virus, and it's leader, Virus-1.0, whose only goal is to bend every mind in all universes to it's will and become subject of The Virus. And because of them, the Order had been destroyed. Only those three, along with the Knights who took Gohan, known as Knight Kado and Knight Tislor, are the only survivors, to their knowledge. Infinity Knight Charaz and Grand Knights Olios and Selale either went missing or were killed, and other Knights had the same fate. Dikola, Nalsin, Gamnas, and Twoso were the Knights who were killed, Knight Jazaki went missing, and Knights Maurno and Colta were captured.

As the rest of the Z-Fighters get caught up by Knight Leon, Sies and Xanabal help Goku and Vegeta prepare for the final battle.
