Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

[Sinestro]

Just saw the track listing. All right! Now I'm super excited.

[Marco Polo]

It would be a nice addition if they ended the film with Goku wearing his blue outfit that we see at the end of the series. Perhaps they could even explain the change.

That would be awesome.

As a "God" he would no longer need to wear the gi of some other martial arts master.

[Sanity's_Theif]

God form? Well since this is canon material no one can say Goku isn't the strongest anymore

Why in the hell is Vegeta slacking so much? He should have SSJ3 by now

Not if you define "canon" as "only things the original author himself wrote during its original publication".

[Karasai]

I still want extremely furry and puffy transformation Birusu

Do the scenes we've seen of this movie remind anyone of Budokai 2's intro? In particular, the scene where everyone's in the forest area in front of Shenlong, and the high-speed battle scene of Goku vs. Bilus reminds me of Goku vs. Kid Boo in the Budokai 2 OP.

I dunno if there is anything interesting in there, but I'll give it a read anyway.

I don't want to sound pushy, but is there any time frame for when the Full Color interview translations are going to be finished? I know there is at least a Battle of Gods info tease with the Kaio Planet question...

[TheMightyOzaru]

Man these next week's are gonna be torture. I wanna see the movie now but more importantly I wanna see this new SSJ God form.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Good job once again guys!

I hate to seem like I'm constantly harping on the same points, but what do you guys think is up with Uisu? Do you think everyone's making a conscious effort to keep his character a secret, or is he really just Birusu's attendant? I keep pointing back to the poster and the way he's positioned, but with the soundtrack track list and all of the other reveals lately, there really isn't anything on him which is kinda concerning. I've kinda got this feeling he'll tie into the Vegeta sub-plot somehow, but we'll have to wait and see.
Also very curious about the significance of the tree. C'mon Planet World Core!

The other point I wanted to bring up was the existence of Kaio's planet, yet he has his halo (as seen in the new trailer). I think the creation thing may have something to do with it.

Also, are Anime movie soundtracks usually this long? 40 tracks seems like a lot of music for one movie, but I guess a lot of them may be no longer than 30 seconds.

EDIT: Movie ticket lottery of some sort:

Uisu was flying towards something in the trailer, who knows, maybe he's gonna fight.

I'm still betting on him being the main villain/plot twist of the movie.

[batistabus]

I will only be happy with Super Saiyan God if it is the complete mastery of the Super Saiyan state, rather than the form only achievable by the "chosen one". Something that any Saiyan could potentially achieve, but only Goku ever would. Otherwise it'd really go against what Goku has been built up as; a low class warrior that surpasses everyone with hard work.

I don't know much about Naruto, but what I'd like might be comparable to the mangekyo sharingan?

I'd rather it be a form since Full Power SSJ already is a mastery of SSJ.

[DBZ Mick]

Well, this keeps getting more and more interesting. Rather looking forward to it now.

[Chuquita]

I think I found the run time.
It says 85 minutes.

That's pretty beastly, I like it; strung together, that's almost 5 DB episodes (I feel like I remember individual DB/Z eps being 18 or 19 minutes each?)

[DBZ Mick]

That would make it the longest movie then. Hope the pacing is good...

[Insertclevername]

That's pretty good. In fact, it's really the perfect run time. I don't think it would work for longer than 90 minutes.

[Ringworm128]

Super Saiyan God? I'm suddenly picturing Goku with a long grey beard and long grey hair, or a blond haired Jesus.

[Chuquita]

I want it to be more ostentatious-looking than that, outfit-wise. I want to see them go all out with this transformation; really swing for the fences.

Does anyone remember that one piece by Toriyama that had the gang dressed in Journey to the West outfits? I want Goku's godly outfit to look like that, but times 10. X3

I found a copy of the drawing I'm talking about on Google, I wonder if I can link it.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

85 minutes....satisfying. I think I would've liked an additional 5 minutes to set it apart from Movie 17 which clocked in at 80 minutes, but if it's well paced I can't complain.
