The Dragon Ball Super: Broly Steelbook Blu-Ray Edition is now available for preorder, and for collectors and anime fans alike, it’s a premium physical release worth paying attention to. With limited print runs, exclusive artwork, and one of the franchise’s most celebrated modern films remastered for Full HD, this steelbook is already generating high demand.
Why Dragon Ball Super: Broly Deserves the Steelbook Treatment
First released in 2018, Dragon Ball Super: Broly marked the official canon return of Broly and delivered a perfect blend of high-octane action and emotional storytelling. With supervision and screenplay by Akira Toriyama, the film redefined Broly’s origin and introduced some of the most fluid animation in Dragon Ball history — making it one of the strongest standalone entries in the franchise.

Are both dub and sub included?
Yes — North American editions include both Japanese and English audio with English subtitles.
Can this sell out before release?
Yes. Steelbooks often sell out during the preorder window. Waiting can mean paying aftermarket prices.
