Grandpa Gohan take that role in the movie.

This is not the case. It has already been confirmed that the movie will follow along with the Daimao saga in having Muten sacrifice himself against Piccolo. So unless they have Goku and co. wish him back with the Dragon Balls either at the end of this movie or the beginning of the next, I don't see things playing out that way. Apparently as things stand, Son will be (presumably) doing much of his Kamesennin training in this movie.

And if it hasn't been announced that Yaji's gonna be in the movie, then where are people getting this and why is it being discussed as if it's factual?

So IF Kuririn isn't in the movie this could create a tricky situation for the potential sequels. We can assume that these sequels will include the Super Saiyan transformation. So if Goku transforms, but there is no Kuririn how will the transformation get triggered?

Freeza killing Gohan or Bulma should have the same effect.

They can have Piccolo or Gohan being killed in Krillin's place.

This is true. Or maybe the trigger won't involve anger at all, but some other emotion. They may even just rework the Oozaru stuff and have Goku go SSJ at the sight of a full moon.

But it just wouldn't be the same, I would walk out of the theater feeling so... cheated, like they were lying to me.

The fact that they dismissed Kuririn easier than, well, Yamcha or Chi-chi, or any character aside from maybe Roshi, shows they've not read enough manga to be adapting anything.

I'am not worried about the lack of Krillin in this movie. They didn't include Krillin in "The Path To Power" and that turned out fine.

Path to Power wasn't meant to have a sequel. If they weren't hinting heavily for ages that this is going to be a franchise, I wouldn't mind so much either. But if they go right into the Saiyajins next movie, how on Earth are they going to introduce that poor guy?! "Oh, hi guys, nice to be at our reunion. Oh! And it's Krillin! My best friend for years!" *Camera zooms in on Krillin's face* "Hello. I'm Krillin. Goku's best friend for years. Seriously"

That was good stuff right there

Also, maybe I'm just out of the loop on this, but has there actually been any concrete evidence that they're going to make sequals to this?

I'm pretty sure their going to add Krillin in the sequel (if he isn't already a surprise character in this movie) because they have to. Think about it. If the Saiyans show up they have to fight somebody right ? The producers said that Goku dies at the beginning of the next movie so who does that leave for Nappa and Vegeta to fight ? Piccolo, Gohan, and Yamcha ?

Since the grand total of Tien's and Chiaotzu's involvement in that fight was two attacks.... maybe? Cut the Saibaman fight and Yamcha takes Krillin's place vs Nappa.

Then you've barely got any movie.

Exactly so unless they make up some original character that just happen to show up to challenge the saiyans (which isn't beyond them) or they just have Roshi, Bulma, Yamcha, Gohan, Chi Chi, and Piccolo fight Nappa and Vegeta (also possible unfortunately) then they have to introduce Tien and Krillin.

Rocketman · Post by **Rocketman** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 7:46 pm

I will watch it if they keep ChiChi as a viable fighter. Krillin and Tien can go fuck themselves.

Wow those are two pretty relevant characters right there that your telling off.

I don't see this at all. The impression I get from the cast of characters is that they are aiming for the original lineup of the gang from the start of the series. They could easily introduce Kuririn in the next film and have him join Goku, Chi Chi, Yamcha, etc. in the fight against the Saiyajin or whomever.

Honestly with Goku, Bulma, Roshi, Piccolo, ChiChi, and Yamcha, I don't think they would really even have to add either of those characters to fight in the next one if they didn't want. However it's unlikely that they wouldn't given their popularity.

I agree that I like the idea of Chichi as a main fighter, but at the cost of Kuririn? Now that's just crazy talk.

Isn't there supposed to be a World Tournament in this movie ? Would it be possible for Krillin and Tien to be introduced at that point in the movie ?
