What does that even mean? Most of the Kai cast is the same.

But if I ever hear Tiffany Vollmer or Stephanie Naldony (though younger Gohan wouldn't be in this movie) in a DBZ dub again, I'm taking a plane to Fort Worth and do some ass kicking. (Probably get turned away at the door of Funi HQ and beaten by security guards with batons in the parking lot as Sean Schemmel looks on and laughs, but hey, it's the thought that counts!)

"dragonballzexperts" Right. If these people were "DBZ experts" they'd know how shitty the DBZ dub was, anyway.

Q7: Why is Kaiō’s planet so small?

A: The fact is, it was destroyed by the God of Destruction!!
It used to be so big that its diameter was about 100 times that of Kaiō’s current planet. Apart from the size it was completely the same as it is now, with nothing but grassy fields and roads. Kaiō-sama enjoyed his hobby, driving, but then one day Birusu, the God of Destruction, stopped by and they played a video game together (it was a car racing one). Birusu lost, and so the planet was destroyed by the peeved God of Destruction. Kaiō then took a large leftover fragment, whittled it down to a sphere, and built a road on it so that he could have fun driving there. This became Kaiō’s current planet.

It was destroyed over a video game. The absurdity of it put such a smile on my face. :mrgreen:

So Kaio-sama and Birusu have a history together as well.

So, Birusu and Kaiou are video game buddies. I hope this is mentioned in the film.

Wow, major props for them putting that new piece of info in. Typical Toriyama foolishness albeit on an intergalactic scale. Though, it's anyone's guess as to whether that counts as black humor - he did blow up an entire planet.

Fun read. Sounds like Birusu is a sore loser. Haha.
Funny thing is Birsu created Kaio's planet and eventually self-destructed by Semi-Perfect Cell years later causing a release of Bojack and co.

I find it strange how characters like Kaio-sama always act like the current enemy of the week is unfathomably powerful and extremely dangerous, when they already know about guys that make those guys look like nothing -_-

Toriyama is a genius! :P I also love how he's placing the film in the history of Dragon Ball. :)

I think if Toriyama didn't like it he would've said something about it and had it changed. I for one like it, it explains that he's a type of God and a Super Saiyan, and by using "God" it kinda seems like there isn't much higher, if anything. It seems like I'm the only person who likes it though. :lol:

A couple things that have to do with the last few posts:

- I love the backstory Toriyama came up with for his planet. Just like something out of the old manga!

- Just because Toriyama did not come up with something completely on his own doesn't mean it isn't still his creation. After all, without other people's input, we wouldn't have gotten a Perfect Cell or the other androids, etc. etc.

- Kaio-sama may know of guys who are much stronger than Frieza or Cell, but maybe Birusu is not inherently a bad guy. He is a God after all, just one that unfortunately destroys things haha. He isn't an unstoppable force per se that may destroy the whole universe, it is his job to destroy.

- I am wondering still if Toriyama forgot that Kaio-sama's planet was destroyed during the Cell arc. lol. (and that Gohan thing too yeahhh)

I don't think he forgot- Kaio has his halo in the latest trailer. I think the whole "creation" thing is gonna tie in here.

I go with the theory that he simply had a new planet built.

He didn't come up with it at all, though. He was approached with the name already decided upon. Saying they could change it if he didn't approve doesn't change anything either - he didn't come up with it.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Yeah it definitely isn't his creation the only thing he did was draw the design, but I do think that even the best writers need helpful suggestions like this one. He could have turned it down if he didn't like it though because it was just a "suggestion".

I still have a smile on my face after reading why Kaio-sama's planet is so small. Now I can see why he likes driving so much. Back then, it actually was a worthwhile hobby :lol:
Still, from just this, I can imagine how Birusu will react to the Super Saiyan God. He won't be a happy cat, I'm sure...

I think people are making a lot of assumptions about the control or care that Toriyama possesses for the project. The conversation over SSG could've very easily went like this:

TOEI: "All right, so what are we doing for the next Super Saiya-jin upgrade?"

TORI: "...Mm, I dunno, do we really need another one?"

TOEI: "Well, if we want this movie to make money, yeah. Think of the box office, the merchandise, etc. ..."

TORI: "Sold."

Super Saiya-jin God could be great but it kind of screams "let's make new toys!" more than genuine creative inspiration.
