Instead having Goku kill him then maybe they can have everyone kill him off. I think it be nice to see have someone help out as well. One thing liked about Movie 10 was that Gohan and Goten both together killed off Broli instead just one character.

Doesn't matter, had s...cheek kiss. Eh, you gotta start somewhere, and Krillin's been out of the game for a long time, Maron aside. :lol:

Yeah. I'm not expecting like anything 'hot', and I wouldn't really want that in an official production either. I just want something a little more than what we've gotten thus far. Gohan is the most 'normal' hero to be shown getting with someone too, so it makes sense for it to come with him and Videl.

I doubt we'll get an romancin', sadly. If Toriyama really is the one writing the plot then you can expect nothin' that like. :(

Although I would like it if Birusu wound up being the next antagonist turned good guy. It's been a while since we had one of those (like...Piccolo? Vegeta's a bastard up through the battle with Pure Boo so I'm not sure he really counts as much as Piccolo would).

What about #18? Or Mr. Buu?

Gohan needs to just give Videl a quick peck on the cheek and apologize for having to run out on their wedding just after the vows to go save the city as Saiyaman (even though Birusu had already previously interrupted the party, whenever that was), only to have her chase after him in the Saiyaman II suit. Little bit of romance, more typical DB adventure, with a bit of a throwback to Goku and Chi Chi's leaving together on Kinto-un.

I remember the main villain in the jump special end up being good? I really don't want another villain becoming good since I think we had enough characters turning good. I like having villains stay as villains. One thing I give Toei credit for in GT is that they didn't create a reincarnation for Super Yi Xing Long unlike what happen with Buu and Piccolo.

We have all of the "mysteries" translated and up. Nothing too spectacular.

Doing it that way would work too, I could live with that...for the most part. Maybe actually seeing the wedding, or most of it at least, is a little unrealistic to hope for.

They didn't do that, but there was um...crap. I'm drawing a blank on his original name, but Nova Shenron, the 4-star Dragon. He turned good, and I feel like if GT had continued past that arc, they would have found some way to keep him around as a new villain-turned-hero.

Er...uh...they...uh...don't count. Because pants.

Yeah, no, you're totally right. Wow, Jacob. I was so focused on 'main villains' and earlier characters (I'm currently re-watching the 1986 series) I totally forgot about the others. Ack.

"4-Star Dragon" actually is his original name, though they call him that in Mandarin: Si Xing Long. It matches the quasi-Chinese name used for the 4-Star Ball, Si Xing Qiu.

I hate the new hairstyle they gave Videl. The new out fit looks great but the hair looks awful.

For me the promotional campaign's best image is this new Toribot image (is it drawn by Ooishi?).

Image

I also love the back page of the pamphlet with the collage behind the letters of Dragonball. Would have been neat if they were in chronological order by still amazing! Also like the nice Shenron icon they're using on the movies site too. Lot of good work with this film...

Looks like Toriyama's; it's got his signature at the bottom.

Wow, it would probably take forever to recreate that and maybe make a wallpaper out of it, but I would like to try or just plant the idea for someone else to give it ago.

Good idea, I'll wait for that too. My 230 Dragon Ball wallpapers are not enough xD

I'm now at a lecture meeting of the anime industry, and the speaker said that Fox would distribute Battle of Gods because Toei is planning on international screenings.

I wonder how big they're thinking? Big-big, like what Yuugi-Ou and Pokemon got? Hmm...

If that's the case then they should have done this back in the early 2000's when DBZ was bigger in the west then The Beatles.
