The chance to ask Toriyama any questions you want has soooo many more possibilities than who's stronger than who! :P That said though, I honestly can't think of a single one to send through myself, nothing that someone else wouldn't already think of anyway.
Seriously speaking, the questions will most likely be supervised so I doubt they will all be about "who is stronger than who" if any, really.
I personally could see world info be put in guide books. Having Toriyama end the internet debates would be awesome. But hey I'm an in-universe debater so my perspective is there. But if they are willing to edit the Super encyclopedia and answer the questions there instead of copy and pasting from D7, then I'm good.

Shouldn't this Toriyama Q&A thing have it's own thread? Most of the questions I can see aren't even about Battle of Gods.

It's here because I think it appeared on the site of the film (or a related one).

It's meant to be an actual question. :P It should shouldn't it? :P

EDIT

Never mind, it's been done. :)

Never noticed that. That's pretty funny.

Probably a coincidence, since the title in Japanese is Hakaishin.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I just though of a really weird/dark ending to this film. Basically Bills succeeds in defeating Goku's super saiyan God form, but this time he has enough power to destroy the Earth and does so, the screen fades to black and says "This spelt the end of the Z-senshi of the 7th universe...now let's go to the 8th" there you see the first part of GT where Goku and Uub are training inside the lookout whilst Pilaf and co are climbing the tower.

I hope not, that's not something I want to picture.

I think they tought of the English names.
Even if that's the case, I doubt they made Bills the God of Destruction just to make a GoD.

I really need to be leaving for work, but before this thread gets completely derailed—

The link is for a TV show airing in Japan to promote the upcoming movie. They will be showing, among other things, their Q&A with Akira Toriyama (though I doubt he'll be on camera; more likely, they'll just show/read his answers).

They are not taking questions.

Oh darn! Oh well, guess we should've waited for confirmation before getting excited then. :|
Thanks Julian. :)
