We couldn’t feel the betrayal if not first the authentic friendship. In order to have hope for reconciliation between the two and to understand how difficult it is for Raya to trust any form of help along the way, the audience first has to experience the betrayal along with Raya. It makes sense that the team at Walt Disney Animation would need to get this scene just right, as the rift between Namaari and Raya is such a large part of the rest of the film. So one of the most rewritten scenes occurs very early in the film when Raya and Namaari meet and form an instant bond. And that was one of the scenes we rewrote a lot. Because what you want to evoke, what I certainly felt like I wanted to evoke in that is when you're like a teenager and you meet another kid who loves the same obscure band, and you're just like together forever, they're your best friend, you'll trust them with anything. And we rewrote that I don't know how many times. TICKET PRICES FOR 'Raya and the Last Dragon' All Ages Reserved: 15. As we developed the character of Namaari and understood the relationship, the interesting deep relationship between her and Raya and how they're sort of opposites of each other, we really wanted to get that moment that they meet, the childhood scene, right. There were quite a few, I mean, some of it is just sort of the end of the film is very epic and big, and we just had to think about how we do all that complexity-wise, but there were areas that were tough to get right, tone-wise. Thanks to Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan finally has a new form in the anime.After years of keeping the character on the sidelines of the franchise’s biggest conflicts, Dragon Ball finally let Gohan take the spotlight from Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.Not only that, but the movie’s story gave the character a long-awaited upgrade. Producer Osnat Shurer told CinemaBlend why the scene where these two characters meet had to be rewritten so many times:
Namaari betrayed Raya when they were children, and as a result, Raya grew up wary of trust.
One of the relationships with a need for reconciliation is that between our hero Raya ( voiced by Kelly Marie Tran) and her friend-turned-enemy Namaari ( voiced by Gemma Chan). At the heart of Raya and the Last Dragon is a story of a broken land with deep old wounds to heal.
