If it's Gogeta who gets it, you could double that. :3

The 2ch thread keeps wanting to see Vegetto, but I feel like Gogeta's way more likely of those two fusions to appear (what with the just having to do the dance and no "it's permanent (void where prohibited) earrings").

If this is a new power-up for Goku, I suspect it will be some sort of temporary "desperate times, desperate measures" sort of thing. Like a more extreme version of absorbing the Spirit Bomb in Movie 7, or pooling energy from the others in Movie 8, or Fusion in Movie 12, etc.

Can't wait for that Legendary Super Saiyan God Broly in Heroes.

With the frantic way the "HERO" tie-in song sounds, I definitely think it'll be a "desperate times desperate measures temporary" thing like you mentioned. Maybe the power-up itself could do serious damage to a mortal body if used for too long, so Goku's gotta do it now and fast or else he'll wreck his body in ways that senzu beans can't fix.


(Goku's also my top guess for who gets the power-up; and I definitely think it'll be the 8th mystery WCF figure.)

I suppose if we've seen Gotenks in the trailer, there's no reason why we couldn't have Gogeta, but I think I'd actually prefer something new. What would be hugely disappointing is if this God Form was just like a boost in power with nothing new appearance-wise. After-all, there's only so many ways to animate a good, strong finishing move, which is ultimately what every DBZ movie comes down to.

Well, one reason would be that Toriyama didn't really have Gogeta appear in his original story and it's really Toei's brainchild. Toriyama's "Gogeta" would be "Vegerott."

Sure, you can say that Goku and Vegeta can just do the Fusion Dance and Gogeta will appear in the story, but according to Toriyama's rules in the manga canon, the Fusion Dance can only be done by those who have the same height, so Gogeta is likely not to appear in this movie.

I think it's probably better that way. This will probably be a Goku thing anyway. Fusion is kinda getting old, but I hope Vegeta gets to see some kind of awesome new power-up. Probably not, but I can't help but feel sorry for the guy!

Why is the really awesome news always breaking when I'm at work? :o

Okay...Super Saiyan God eh? I...huh. I really...really don't know what to make of this one. I'm at a loss for words here. This just sounds really...really fan-made. But it's apparently legit? I...yeah. I really don't know what to expect, if I think this is going to be good, or if it's going to be just weird. :lol:

Can't wait to see what it's gonna look like though, and to see how in the heck this is going to come up in the film.

In the manga Goku says that if Vegeta were alive, the two of them could perform Fusion, so apparently their height difference isn't big enough to matter.

There's only about 4 or 5 centimeters between them, right? It's not that much.

Vegeta is a lot shorter than that.

It certainly has the potential to. Time will tell, time will tell...

I don't think the page will spoil us the full form. At least I hope so.

As per the norm, Julian will pick up the magazine on his way to work this morning (which is our early evening), and we will tag-team the translations of information with multiple news posts in a row where appropriate. All you need to do is stay tuned to the main page here at Kanzenshuu!

I was thinking something like this.

I was looking for another picture similar to this. It was Goku in his SSJ and long hair that looked like flames. It might have been Ssj3. It was beautiful... I don't remember where I saw it. Anyone knows or have this picture? If yes, Can you link me in a private message please?

That does sound beautiful. *_*

I don't think the full scan will spoiler either, but I bet the next trailer will. (Whenever that's released.)

I was reading the Kanzenshuu page for the film and I noticed that Morita's previous Dragon Ball role is mentioned in the notes section, but not Yamadera Kou'ichi's time as Tenshinhan in Dragon Ball Z episodes #82 and #84. If I be picky, could that be added? Sometime? Maybe? :D
