So Goku will become strong enough for Birusu, the oracle fish was right then. :P

Piccolo singing makes up for the boring predictability of a new Super Saiyan form. Still, after saying a few times how much more out-there and bizarre the legitimate info on the movie was compared to the dull fan rumors about new Super Saiyans, it is a little disappointing to see that the movie will indeed have at least some of that too.

If this is really true, then awesome! Would be glad to see goku(if he does get it) get a transformation, and a power boost to take on Bills and beat the guy whose apparently stomped him. Though I would have also preferred if Gogeta or Vegito were there instead to actually get a good fight instead of stomping the characters they face. Regardless, this is pretty awesome.

SSJG being comparable to Birusu, giving him a good fight, or killing him? Yes please. Only thing I'm wondering is the character design of it and if SSJG and Birusu will have newer feats in their battle. Since Birusu is a God and apparently the strongest character in the history of Z

If they have a new transformation for Goku, then I hope we will see SS3 Gotenks & Ultimate Gohan... getting their asses kicked.

Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I'd hope that Toriyama's sense of ending big showdowns hasn't changed from his days writing the original series, and that this Super Saiyan God thiggamajigg isn't an instant win move on Goku's part. That is, it better not be like Gogeta or Vegetto but more how Super Saiyan was when he fought Freeza; strong enough to hold his own and even the odds but not strong enough for a sure-win. That's one of the things that made that fight great.
Avenged wrote:IDK I'm reading through translations from the scans and people mention this Super Saiyan God as one from legends.
And this makes four possible Legendary Super Saiyans in the Dragon Ball multiverse. Broly, SSJ Bardock, SSJ4, and now the SSJG. Though, I guess SSJG holds more weight than any of 'em.

SSJG > Vegerott > SSJ4?

I wonder if Piccolo singing karaoke will be one of the tracks on the soundtrack; I hope it is. :3
I also want to know what leads up to this scenario, what he'll be singing, and how inebriated he may or may not be.

About there being a new ssj form; I don't care about battle powers; I just want the new form to look cool. *_*
I hope it's something fun, challenging, and refreshing to draw.

Piccolo should sing ABBA's "Take A Chance On Me" on karaoke.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Did he tell you how it looks like?

Oh that is beautiful. The use of lighting and contrasting colors really makes it eye-catching. *_*


I'm SO anxious for this trailer. @_@

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

So, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the rest of the Z-Fighters confirmed to be useless?

Unless of course, not even Super Saiyan God is strong enough...

When I saw the thread at 329 (as opposed to 322), I knew some stuff had gone down.

This is interesting. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm excited for news, but on the flip slide, it's just another form.

Still, I look forward to learning more.

Some time this evening while the VJump article is being translated would be ideal, but when it comes to trailers it's hard to tell since there's no way of knowing when it'll be airing on TV so you'd just have to DVR all the way through I guess?

Ahhh! I'm so anxious to see it! I wish there was at least a description of what Goku's power-up looks like. People have said they watched the commercial, but those who watched didn't describe the power-up. T_T

It was just brief, there's mainly talk about other scenes like Vegeta raging at Bulma for some reason.
