That's definitely not his Ultimate hair.

Drawing out Dormant Power
First Appearance: Chapter 265
Category: special
People: Saichourou, Elder Kaioshin
Special Characteristics: This is a technique that draws out the dormant power that each person has. In Saichourou’s case, he only triggers the drawing out of that person’s dormant power; if there is no power sleeping inside that person, no change will occur. He is able to use this technique merely by holding his hand over the person’s head. In the Elder Kaioshin’s case, he is able to draw out a person’s dormant power beyond their limits, but this requires him to do a dance, and takes over 20 hours. (Daizenshuu 4, p.50, p.55)

Honestly, now that I've read this, I feel like Elder Kaioshin's ritual draws out more power than Saichoro does though differently, however it has nothing to do with sealing Gohan's SSJ transformations. The Daizenshu probably would've mentioned it if it did. Why Gohan didn't turn SSJ during his fight with Evil Boo? Because Toriyama wanted to show off Ultimate Gohan, duh.

SSJ can still be around, but it is no longer needed. He has all of the potential SSJ forms bring out and more without any drawbacks.

That tree in the poster is Bilus' temple. Apparently, it's stocked with fish and whatnot (other food perhaps, in keeping with the "gourmet" idea?).

.....What? That's not this?:

So instead of "apple-like" things we have fish. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions too early?

Toriyama and the scriptwriters (plural?! says "tachi") reworked the story a bunch of times.

Very interested in this. I really hope we hear more about what sort of changes the story went through.

Sounds like Toriyama and co. are very enthusiastic about this project which is always a good sign.

I say it's like a super version of Saichourou's ability, if he could bring out all of Gohans potential, it would have had the same effect as The Elder Kaioshins(but not as powerful). Basically all of Gohans hidden power(and taken beyond) is surfaced. He no longer needs to draw out hidden power with transformations because he already has access to all of it in base. Guru only brought out a little of his power.

Guru and The Elder Kaioshin did the same thing. Difference is The Elder Kaioshins ritual was much better than then Guru's ability.

The difference is that Krillin, Gohan, and Dende were able to use their unlocked power right after Guru revealed it, while Gohan had to "power up" to become Mystic/Ultimate after the Elder Kaioshin finished his ritual.

You should state that that's Young Jiji's fanart.

I agree. TheRed259, you can't just throw an image into the thread and call it a post. Especially with a hot topic like the new movie. It might confuse some people.

Not sure if serious...

That image would have been great if drawn by Tadayoshi Yamamuro.

[Hellspawn28]

That fan art image does look pretty awesome. Reminds me of AT's old art work from the 90's.

That image of SSJ3 Gokuh is traced from a drawing of Yamamuro

Hey I would like to share with you my new drawing: Videl from the new movie

[InfernalVegito]

Nice drawings but her hair is shorter on the poster.

I'm based in that image

[Thanos]

It just strikes me as weird that that is Videl. I'm just not getting that character's vibe from this design at all. I could see it being a design for Pan, but it just seems too young, especially if it's several years after Buu. Honestly, after the initial image was leaked, it didn't even occur to me that it might be Videl. I thought... Pan? New character? Oh well.

[InfernalVegito]

Yeah I perceive it as younger too.

*snip.jpg*

Really nice art dude. Did you do it all by yourself? Did you trace anything? It looks legit.

[Ringworm128]

Nice drawings but her hair is shorter on the poster.

I kind of think it looks slightly better then the poster version, though if only she had her Buu saga short hair.

[InfernalVegito]

Short hair? I detested that. I loved her long hair. Almost every woman in Dragon Ball gets short hair in the long run. Why?
