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

Even if the movie was two hours long, I doubt we will get a whole hour of nothing but fighting. I think a movie with nothing but fighting for a whole hour gets boring fast. I remember the last act of Transformers 3 was nothing but fighting and I was getting bored very quick. I remember checking my phone waiting for the movie to be done and over with it. I don't want that to happen with a DBZ movie.

Well I only compare the two since they are both to be hated by their own fan base.

Re: AnimeMaakuo

Thank you for the confirmation on the translation.



Also! Weekly Jump 14's cover, TOC, and next-issue-preview pages all mention BOG; though I have to admit I'm still cautious about it since most of Weekly's movie-related stuff so far has just been about promotional, non-spoilery merchandise while it's VJump that's had all the juicy plot stuff. Still, we are actually closing in on the release date so maybe there will be something of plot-interest inside.

Adult ssj Goku's smack in the center of the cover for March's Saikyo Jump, there could be stuff in there too.

Y'know, I feel like I'm finally at the point where I'm done with spoilers and I just want Julian to go see the movie. :P

It'd be great if he could get to one of those early showings; I know I'm going to be anticipating any and all new info that appears on the 12th.

Being that the movie comes out in two-three weeks, I'm pretty much done with the spoilers and information. Heck, a part of me wants to leave this thread until the movie comes out.

Same here. I almost didn't even want to know about this God transformation, that was a bit of a spoiler. Well in that regard; I hope there are still surprises :shock:

All I know is that it's going to be very painful not being able to watch it unless an official release is put out or watching a bad quality illegal theatre recording with no subs.

Meh, I'm terrible with spoilers so I'll indulge myself...

I'm most likely going to avoid this thread. I might read the spoiler free reviews to see how the movie turns out though.

So far in every movie, fighting was too short I would actually enjoy a super long extended fight scene. Plus if Vegeta, Piccolo, Goten/Trunks, or even Krillin is going to take part in the fighting, why not? And have some sort of build up before Goku's God Transformation.. make it super EPIC before the even bigger EPIC part! Bring it!!

I don't think anyone is going to do any subs for the movie if it's likely going license soon. Fan subs groups don't sub things if they are license.

Oh god, not the Hihglander 2 please! GT is nowhere near Highlander 2, I've just remembered that scene in subway...... :shock:

Sure they will.... I bet it won't get licensed till next year. And, as it goes to US, it still won't be in Europe.

I just emailed EVENT Cinemas to see if they can show Battle of Gods in New Zealand for their Cinema Asia section.

I'll post their answer if I get one from them soon.

BTW, they're showing Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, so I might check that film out sometime.

DBZ at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington sounds like a treat (I believe it's a part of the whole EVENT Cinemas chain).

Even if they don't bring it over, there's still a chance that Madman may bring it over as part of their Reel Anime screenings.

Mmm, would be awesome to have Madman have this and the new Evangelion movie back to back!

According to the scriptwriter, Gohan doesn't transform to SSJ in the actual movie. It seems that they colored Gohan's hair differently only for promotional stuff.

Hope we get bootleg copies when the movie comes out, even if I have to deal with seeing someone's shadow when they get up to get more popcorn.

Fan: しかも悟飯は超サイヤ人になる必要性がないんですが。いい加減なGTスタッフもそうでしたが、完全に忘れてましたよね。老界王神の潜在能力解放を。
Y. Watanabe: あ、あとネタバレになるので、あれなんですが本編では悟飯、スーパーサイヤ人になってませんよ! ぜひ映画本編でご確認ください! よろしくお願いします!

Basically goes like:

Fan: Hey, uh, Gohan's a Super Saiyan here, which he shouldn't even need. Seems like the same mistake the GT writers made in forgetting about the Elder Kai Unlock Ability.

Y. Watanabe: Um, right, yeah, no Super Saiyan Gohan!

Now no more talk about fucking Gohan being a Super Saiyan or GT because it's so annoying.
