The image of Gohan and Buu is pretty cool. I hope they are not giving out too much away. I hate when movies give out too much info before it was release. For example, Terminator 4 spoiled nearly the whole movie in most of the trailers.

Imo, Toei's been working really hard keeping information about this movie a secret. I do want to know more about the plot, but they just don't want to reveal anything really. It's like the opposite of the old episode titles that would spoiler what happens next week (even though many fans would already know since they'd read the manga/heard it somewhere).

Agreed, thanks for the larger shot! Now we've got better shots of all three of the new screencaps. :mrgreen:

I love that they're being very stingy with the information. It's something that I don't see enough of these days. (As far as comics, some of which they spoil months in advance)

Hey guys... what about Videl? Didn't someone mention she was going to play a big role this movie? That's why we were all speculating it might be their wedding or the engagement party, right?

:think:

...I had forgotten all about that. Where the heck IS she? :?

Hmm. I really don't see Gohan as this type, but...well, it would be kinda funny if it happened with Gohan but not Goku. Maybe Videl turns out to be pregnant at the end of this, before her and Gohan ever get married? Or do you think that'd be too heavy for Dragon Ball? I doubt they'd play into it much either way, but just in of itself I mean.

Hm, now I wondering if Birusu is going to have any interest in Videl and he kidnaps her for giggles.

Yeah, but that was pretty much glossed over, there wasn't any real drama. "She's with Yamcha! *Three years later* Now she's with Vegeta"

Well yeah, but that was skipped over by a timeskip mostly. What I was thinking of was like...Videl's big 'shocker' at the end of the film is her revealing she's pregnant, or something. Cue shocked reaction faces from everyone.

Good point though, and now that I think about it, they could play it incredibly light, so it could be that. Maybe. Possibly. But probably not.

...That's got a 'bad' fanfic written aaaalllll over it. I can already see it coming if that happens.

Well, I didn't mean he kidnaps her because he likes her or anything... in case that's what you think I meant.

I was thinking that maybe she gets kidnapped by Birusu. 9o9 Yes, the fanfics will overflow the Internetz! :lol:


I do think pregnant Videl might be a little too heavy for a "Family movie". Has this happened in any other big anime?

I didn't specifically think that you meant it that way really...but I know the internet, and know that if that happens, a fanfic of that caliber will come out of it from someone. It always does. That's all I meant haha.

In all seriousness, maybe that could be some kind of tie-in to Gohan's lost 'Ultimate' status. Maybe Bils somehow knows that Gohan once had that state - how? I dunno, he' s a God. Maybe he can sense it in him or something. Anyway, maybe he can sense that it used to be there, thinks THAT would be a great fight to have, and takes Videl to see if he can enrage Gohan to a state to bring that form back or...something?

That'd be nice and I hope so, but apparently Toriyama forgot 18's haircolour on this so I doubt it.

That would be incredibly awesome but then the movie will be more about Gohan then Goku. And we can't have that!

Buu should be a good fight for Birusu since he has magic and can regenerate ?

That picture with him head butting gohan shouldnt impact him that much.
