Something about Shoko Nakagawa and a gold medalist. Didn't Strong World have a swimmer?

Looks like there might be some potential plot points here too. Google Translate can only take you so far.

[soulnova]

The google translation to spanish more or less says that these two people were/are very VERY excited of working on the movie.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

My-erm, Google's translation also had this:

Kaoru Matsumoto profess "The goal of the Monkey King" and the female members play a motorcycle that appears in the party venue that takes place in the story. Characters are drawn in the image of a Matsumoto. On the other hand, Shoko Nakagawa plays a prophecy that gives the opportunity to fish-god birrus destruction of the entire universe tend to go to the source of Goku.

Interesting. So, Shoko is the one telling him about Goku's whereabouts then? And Kaoru will show up at Bulma's party on a motorcycle....? EDIT: Lets hope we can get a good translation of this.

Seems we have a slight design difference between Heroes and most of the movie art so far:

That's one damn long neck, but I do like the head model. I think the change in color is due to some reddish ambient lighting.

[Ryuman]

I think it means that trouble always finds Goku.

It says that Kaori Matsurumoto, a female judoka who is also known as an enthusiastic DB fan, voiced a policewoman who appears at Bulma's birthday party. Shouko Nakagawa voiced a fish which has a prophetic instinct and inspires Birusu to go to Earth.

Oh my God. BEST. MOVIE. EVER.

Yeah, that sounds like Toriyama.

So the fish must be the thing surrounded by the floating hourglasses.

Common sense of Z has been well and truly violated.

[soulnova]

A fish? We are in for a treat. Oh Toriyama, you have done it again.

Instinct? Would be a "dream" or "premonition", maybe?

[Chuquita]

Shouko Nakagawa voiced a fish which has a prophetic instinct and inspires Birusu to go to Earth.

The absurdity of it!
YES. SO much yes. All of my yes.
This movie. It's going to be filled with Toriyama-ness, isn't it? X3 This really is going to be like if the 2008 "Ossu!" special did a kaio-ken, isn't it?

*Can't wait.*


*Also wonders what the police would be doing at Bulma's birthday party, unless my doubtful theory of Vegeta dragging Goku on a shopping trip to buy Bulma a replacement-present after Goku ate the original by accident somehow spiraled that far out of control that one of the shop-owners called the police on them and the pair ended up on the run from the cops who identified Vegeta as Bulma's husband and went to Capsule Corp to question her while still trying to chase down the two saiyajins.*

[kei17]

Maybe my description sounded kind of absurd or funny, but the news article says it's "Yogen-uo" (or maybe "Yogen-gyo"), which sounds like a proper name. I'm rather thinking of a serious character.

[Gyt Kaliba]

...A...prophetic...fish? Bwah?

Excuse me while I tilt my head to the side like a cat and see if it makes any more sense from this angle. That really does sound like the kind of insanity that only Toriyama could come up with and make it work though.

Quick question, is this Shouko Nakagawa the same person as this one? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=64237

[Ryuman]

A serious Fish is still funny to me.
......Wait a minute. Kanassians?

[CashmanX]

This was my first thought!

Agreed. :3

Possibly an evolutionary ancestor of Kanassians if she's an actual fish instead of a fish-person? She "can see the future."


Somewhere in there is a sitcom idea about Birusu, Uisu, and Shoko-fish living together. I just don't know enough about them to know how their personalities interact.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I rather it be a real talking fish that taps into its prophetic potential in order to avoid being eaten by Birusu...

They can be the nosy next door neighbors in the 'Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu' sitcom that still needs to happen.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

A fish....? I don't understand why y'all are excited over a stupid fish.

[soulnova]

A primitive Kannassian! Or maybe even an ex-Kanassian god? xD That would be hilarious.

To much to wish for a mention of Bardock in there, right? " I think I'm going to send Birusu to mess up with the son of that Saiyan guy. The premonitions weren't bad enough. Rough him a little more. Yeah, I think that would be cool.... HEY BIRUSU, ZOMG I'm HAVING A PROPHETIC VISION"
