Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Looks as though Pilaf and co. are gone from the main poster.

The official site has been drastically updated and the music composer turned out to be Norihito Sumitomo.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=73188 As in this Norihito Sumitomo? Looks like he's not done a whole lot before. Can't say I've seen any of those titles listed, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Ran a quick YouTube search and apparently he did the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5:

I can't find the URL for the background on the main page. I keep getting the visual effect. ~_~

Not the original, but here: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/898/jpegp.jpg

How do you do that? I tried to right click but to no avail.

The updated site looks a lot better. Kinda looks like a tree under Whis. Maybe it is the World Tree that the Core people come from.

I bet they were an unintentional spoiler.
I'm still happy to know that they're in the movie though, and that something ridiculous happens to them that causes them to be shrunk down to that tiny toy size.


Also, oh my that is a tree! O_O
I hadn't noticed it til this version of the picture. How cool if it turns out to be Toriyama's World Tree.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

Looks like we got GT Goten's hairstyle on Kuririn's hair, guys.

Was that the tree that was mentioned in one of the Super Exciting Guide volumes?

[Gyt Kaliba]

That tree does make the theories about a Makaioshin connection more likely a bit, doesn't it?

Actually, on the thoughts of whether or not there'll be minions for the others to fight in this movie...if one of the two new characters thus far are Makaioshin, there could still potentially be two more of those, four Makaio, and a Dai Makaio and Dai Makaioshin...right? Or was that system not supposed to be the same as with the regular Kaios?

Looks like we got GT's Goten's hairstyle on Kuririn's hair, guys.

I'm actually really liking that look for some reason. Can't wait to get a good shot of him from the movie to use as an avatar.

Grief, I downloaded the site and still can't find the file to the background. Thanks though, TheDevilsCorpse!

I did find this in the source code, though.

[Chuquita]

Looking closely I'm pretty sure this is an in-between screenshot (the one w/Shenlong) because Goku's missing his undershirt.

I like Kuririn's "GT Goten" haircut. I dare say that haircut looks better on Kuririn than it does on Goten.

Where did that screenshot with Shenron come from

The official website.

Also, found this on Toei's official site:



EDIT: Found the background's URL.

Any word on how long the movie will be?

If there is, you'll definitely know.

As long as its longer than the orginal movies, its all good! Like 2 hours at least lol

[JulieYBM]

It's not going to be two hours. Maybe a hundred minutes with some change, if we're lucky.

[Chuquita]

Strong World was 113 minutes; I'd be happy with that sort of length. DB was about 18 minutes or so per episode, so it'd be almost like having a 6 episode mini-series.

Part of me thinks it would be kinda cool if the Z fighters actually lost the battle against Bils. Maybe have Whis ( who is impressed by everyone's reluctance to give up) tell Bils to spare them as he (Bils) prepares to deliver the final blow to Goku.. I know thats a bit cheesy but heres why I think it would be pretty cool if said events took place in the movie:

1. It rarely happens .. Sure Goku has lost fights in the past but most of which were by luck. Roshi beat him because his legs were longer, Ten beat him because Goku hit the ground first and Tambourine beat him because he was hungry? I believe (back when Goku being hungry affected his performance in battle). The only ones who beat Goku fare and square are King Piccolo, Tao PaiPai, and technically Vegeta but in the end Goku always came out on top. I think with everyone actually losing this battle it would potentially leave room for character growth.

2. In a sense Boo was the God Slayer, so whats another "God" showing up going to mean to the Z fighters by this point in the story when they had dealt with someone much more dangerous before? Bils winning the fight will actually make being a God in the DB universe mean something.

A couple of notes about the revised official website:

• Both Hikaru Midorikawa and Masaharu Satō are listed in the main cast. This means that the cast for the film will probably be the same as Kai — Midorikawa replaced the late Hirotaka Suzuoki as Tenshinhan, while Satō replaced Hiroshi Masuoka (who was himself the replacement for the late Kōhei Miyauchi) as Kame-Sen'nin.
• Jōji Yanami is listed, which means we'll have the Narrator or Kaiō-sama (or both) on board for the film.
• There is no obvious replacement for Videl's voice listed, assuming she won't be played by one of the existing female cast members. (Hiromi Tsuru seems like at least a slight possibility, if only because Bulma was a palette-swap for Videl in one of the PS2-era games, and Yūko Minaguchi's voice worked just fine going the other way.) If someone else has been hired to voice the character, then they're not listed here.

[JulieYBM]

Interesting that no voice for Videl is listed yet. If Minaguchi does return she probably has her recording session scheduled after the bulk of the film has been completed due to school.

[Herms]

And the Evil Dragons born from the Dragon Balls may or may not count.

Yi Xing Long does call himself a "god of destruction" at one point, I recall (rather like Bils' title). It's worth noting though that the GT Evil Dragons are all titled "Xing Long" (Star Dragon) rather than "Shen Long" (God Dragon) like the other DB dragons.
