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

[NeoKING]

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.

Yeah, that's why I wasn't sure. Yi Xing Long may count, as he is the Black Smoke Dragon in Xing Long form. Well, it's suggested that he is.

I like Kuririn's weird, angular hair at the end of the series! I guess he just hasn't grown it all out at this point.

Will this God of Destruction actually be something special. The Kaioshin are underwhelming, except South Kaioshin.

[Chuquita]

Well, he can "violate common sense", that must count for something. I imagine things like Buu's and Janemba's magical powers, only on a grander, even more reality-breaking scale.

Funny how from never stated in the series it becomes "suggested", and then it becomes "Yi Xing Long IS the Black Smoke Dragon".

I just saw the update and the website looks awesome. I don't like the idea of CG being used in the movie since I was never a big fan of CG. People have been over using CG after Jurassic Park and use it as a gimmick. CGI ends up being lame and soulless like with movies like Transformers 1-3, but sometimes it can be done right. I hope they use CG similar how they did with the recent Evangelion movies.

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.

Thank you so much for this! The image is beyond EPIC! Using it as a wallpaper now!

Let's hope that Toei made the right choice .

Dunno what you're trying to get at, but watch GT 48.

A lot of news while I was gone


I have to admit I am little anxious because of the soundtrack now, since I don't know the composer.

Some people were hoping for a trailer in december. Is that still a possibility?

[El Diabeetus]

According to ANN he's only done 4 projects before this. One was for a movie Asura, two Shikabane Hime series' Aka and Kuro and finally another movie called Thermae Romae.

He's done a number of non-anime-or-manga-related TV dramas and live-action films.

I'm guessing the new composer is supposed to be adding that "modern flavour"? I'm curious as to what to expect. I listened to a couple of those Hime tracks and, this could just be the ones I listened to and the fact that it's not Dragon Ball, but they seemed focused on tension.

I too am very interested to see what role, if any, that tree plays in the film. It would be cool to see it be the World Tree and have some tie in to the new information from the Super Exciting Guides, but I must admit that tree in the image doesn't look like it bears much fruit...

[Rukura]

I didn't check the other pages but, when you click on the pen thingys on the bottom right, it shows a picture of (what could be a scene from the movie) with everyone summoning Shenlong.

Kaio-sama would be proud.

What tree ?
Are you talking about that beige umbrella / big mushroom thing ?

The tree you can see on the little island thing. Look behind Bils' and Goku's Elbow/Hand clash.
