I understand your point. I'm pointing out how the body can't hold more ki than it can already handle. Goku could only hold 20x his ki during the freeza saga. I agree that he can increase the amount of space he can hold through training. However that is done by increasing the strength of his body so it will be tough enough to handle a larger output. But I guess we can call it as different opinions and leave it at that.
The way you phrase it it sounds like you don't get what I'm saying but yes let's just agree to disagree.

Now back on subject, Man I am even more excited for this movie now that Gohan's mystic form is back. The real icing in The cake, for me, though would be seeing ssj3 Vegeta. That would complete this movie for me.

Definitely. I'm expecting SSJ3 Vegeta in fact.

I think we'll be lucky to even see SSJ2 Vegeta to be honest.

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!"

I can't imagine them not using SSj2 in the movie for Vegeta.. they are clearly trying to showcase the newest anime technology and want the movie to be flashing and visually stunning... SSj2 is perfect for that.

You know Toei, It's hard to tell whether someone is ssj2 with them. You can only tell with lightning for Vegeta so We'll never know.

Re: Something possessing Goku
That could simultaneously be interesting, but a bit too eerie to see happen. What if whatever it would be wouldn't want to give Goku's body back to him?
Re: Vegeta
I'm still waiting to find out about WCF Vegeta's reason for that pose and expression. T_T
Of all the spoilers they could keep hidden til the release date! I can totally understand keeping ssjg's appearance a secret, but why not explain why Vegeta's tie-in toy looks like that? All the other toys in the set have explanations, why not Vegeta's?
I think those toys come out in April if I remember correctly; they're not even listed on WCF's site atm.
I do like the theory mentioned earlier about Uisu being behind that along with being behind Pilaf Gang being turned into children. Vegeta loses a bingo game, or upsets Birusu or Uisu in some way; bam! Magic spell via Uisu's wand(?) or Birusu's finger.

I wonder how Gokuu, Gohan, Trunks and Goten are going to change into their gi's? I mean, why would they bring them if it was just a party to begin with? Maybe Piccolo will whip out his clothes beam?

I really don't see Vegeta having a SSj3 form in Battle of Gods. That transformation is too taxing for the body, so even Goku is not able to maintain that form for long periods of time. In fact, I personally believe the only reason he managed to obtain that transformation is because he was dead when he unlocked it, so the strain on his body when he was starting to control it was lessened. I think not even Goku would have reached the SSj3 level if he had been alive during that period of time, so much less Vegeta. Of course, this is my own interpretation after watching the series.
The way I see it, Vegeta is just another side-character. Dragon Ball is Goku's show from start to finish. Always has been, always will be. So, since I believe Super Saiyan God is a temporary transformation, making Vegeta have the SSj3 form would put him on par with Goku, which really, I don't see happening, for better or for worse...

Re: Gi's
With Goku, I think he's wearing it under his tracksuit. He somehow managed to fit the gi underneath a regular formal suit in Movie 8 (which I chock up to Goku just being Goku) at least with the gym clothes they look baggy enough where he could legitimately wear the gi under them.

I wonder.
An initial shillouete of Ssj God form has already been released, as shown on the main page.
This seems to show that Goku has sustained some battle damage at least. It would be interesting to see if a black outline could be drawn around the form to perhaps give us a better idea for a mock-up?

The one from the VJump scan? That's proven to be regular ssj1 Goku from Daizenshuu 1.
I can try and find a picture of it online to compare; I'm not near a scanner atm.
EDIT: I couldn't find a scan of it; it's page 102 of Daizenshuu 1.

That silhouette was of this image, wasn't it?
Yeah, just realized the pic wasn't showing. But yeah, I meant the one on the post below...

That's the one I'm talking about. :3
It's a very neat way to keep the true form a secret, I have to admit.

If is by the what was shown in the trailers so far, goku was what resisted longer in a fight with bills, than other z fighters, who were defeated fast, I do not see how gohan is stronger than goku in this film, as was in the buu saga.

I don't think Goku is going to Bulma's party in that tracksuit, is he?
That must be for something else.
Also another mystery still to be explained is the lack of appearances of the Kaioshins, the so-called Gods of Creation.

Re: Goku's tracksuit
I don't think his family would let him wear a tracksuit to Bulma's birthday party. Didn't earlier information say that he doesn't show up to the party at all? Or that he and Vegeta were absent from the party?
Re: New art
I like Trunks' overalls outfit on him so much. X3 It's cute.
Kamesennin wearing crocs is still something else. XD
