I still have no idea on what to expect in terms of story. :lol: It's great to see more Piccolo, though! Crossing my fingers that he actually plays a big role in the movie. He may even play a bigger role than Vegeta based on what we've seen so far.

I find it funny how the earlier posts from this thread didn't age well :lol:
But I heard this movie was already worked on independent of DBS Broly, which means it's financial success didn't affect the development of Super Hero. Maybe we'll start seeing the effects only from the third movie, provided there will be one.

Surely I wasn't the only one who thought this. :lol: It just felt like a no brainer to bring him back along with his designs. For all we know he could be back doing the hand drawn character sheets that the CG models are based on.

don't get your hopes up on Piccolo, they've trolled us before with him. Piccolo is very recognizable, which is why they're promoting him. In the broly movie he appeared early on too in the promotions, but he didn't do anything in that movie.

Well now, the promos are showing only Piccolo alongside Goku and no Vegeta. I think Piccolo will--at the very least--fight the baddies in this film.

It would be incredibly cool to have Piccolo as a co-protagonist. I miss the Saiyan arc days where he was 2nd in charge after Goku. Hopefully if he plays a big role it will be enough to spark some new love for him, with the chance he ends up getting a power up in the future so that he can play more important roles once again.

Very hyped for today. I am expecting a trailer, hopefully they will show more about what the story will be and how the movie will look. I am digging the models.

It would be amazing to replace Vegeta with Piccolo. He's much more interesting and after anime/manga of Super I'm genuinely bored of Vegeta. If Piccolo here isn't fodder (I hope so!), then I will sit through ugly (probably) CGI for him.

what? he taught them the fusion dance and that's more than anyone else got who just straight up didn't even show up.

While I look forward to the updates for the film, I hope we will get a possible announcement of a new TV show, too.

Piccolo is next to Goku! I think he'll have a major role this time :D
Those models in the poster look horrible IMO

Toei must either have a lot of money (made from dokkan,fighterz, etc) to waste producing this or they are completely out of touch with what DB fans want. CGI, getting rid of Shintani and the team from the last movie.All red flags of a disaster incoming.

The design are good and they look shiny like...cgi.
Oh god I fear this is going to be a mostly CGI movie with hand draw background sprinkled here and there. :sick:

Seeing Dende and Karin design sheets is promising. Perhaps they will appear for a minute or so.

Dende has finally grown up. Vegeta and Whis confirmed to appear.

They said the movie takes place ten years after Majin Buu saga, but Bulma's design looks nothing like her looks in the end of the series.

They were so happy with using Piccolo's manga colors, but Karin is white (anime colors) instead of blue (manga, Dragon Ball Online colors).
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.

I'm not...crazy about it. The bit I liked the most was Pan powering up. I'll have to see more of it, I suppose.
The story of DRAGON BALL starts from the moment Goku met Bulma. I don't really mind the Z, so long as it's understood that it's not the true beginning of the story.

I actually prefer the Goku vs Tenshinhan and Goku vs Piccolo Jr. rivalries to the Goku vs Vegeta rivalry.
