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

[Makaioshin]

Yeah, but his story is unique and different! He also has Whis. I think there's going to be some depth here.

The story is different but it is still same old Dragon Ball. He'll be a force of destruction that hopefully has a personality that can make him stand out.

[Herms]

It's hard to imagine any other DB villain randomly stopping by to play video games with Kaio. Although there was that commercial showing Freeza, Ginyu, and Vegeta playing on the Playstation, and that short comic where Vegeta beats Goku at a video game.

[Chuquita]

If Birusu and Kaio-sama sometimes hang out together playing video games, I wonder how Birusu handles Kaio-sama's sense of humor? He must have one of his own; I can't imagine a stoic character being able to deal with Kaio-sama like that. XD

[NeoKING]

More importantly, what makes Kaio so important that Bilus chooses to chill with him than Kaioshin? Maybe it's because Kaioshin's a lame, stuck-up, no fun-having guy who takes his job too seriously. That guy's one fuck-up of a god. Old Kai's a rockin' dude.

[FindKenshi]

So... people are taking Toriyama's statement about how Kaio's world got so small to heart? Hm.. I mean, I guess I can dig that. Kinda makes it silly, though, that Kaio-sama didn't even know what Kaioshin looked like, or whatever, because Kaioshin is just that high of a rank.. but yet he used to play video games with Bills.

Wait.. no. I won't do this. I won't let my nerdy fanboyism ruin this movie for me. Introducing new content always introduces... certain.. growing pains.. but the story we thought we knew so well with every little detail documented and closely examined, is just as likely to completely change when this movie comes out. Bring it on.

Well, why wouldn't people take it to heart? It is the official story for it lol.

[NeoKING]

I'm still super-interested in the rapport Bilus has with Vegeta and Freeza. Vegeta seems to know the guy, and he seems to know of Freeza.

With a card showing potential unlocked-Gi Gohan as a Super Saiyan.

It's all about the red car.

Do you think Biseru will have a transformation?

[SSJ4_Zankuto]

Am I only one who doesn't want Buriusu to be killed off in the movie. Sure there is a code that heroes must defeat the villain in the end. But I could see Buriusu have more potential roles in future Dragon Ball series or movies.

[Saiga]

Don't know. Since nothing about it has been mentioned, I'm leaning towards no. That doesn't seem like something they'd want to keep secret, especially not if they're happy to reveal the name of Super Saiyan God.

I don't mind if he survives, but I don't want him to feature in more movies. He'd become the new Broli.

[Saiyuke]

That was obvious since the beginning that Battle of Gods would be released in international... This is exactly why the Government of Japan gave to Toei Animation 50 million yen ($636,000 USD) to help support and export the new DBZ film project.

He won't be. He keeps balance so Goku can't kill him.

[Hellspawn28]

I hope he does not transform. It been so long since we had a DBZ movie villain does not transform for once.

[Saiga]

I hope he does not transform. It been so long since we had a DBZ movie villain does not transform for once.

That's true... that'd be movie 6, although you may not choose to count that because the Meta-Coolers are sort of a new form for Cooler. If you didn't count that, then it'd be Movie 3!

[Nex Carnifex]

But he looks so silly lol, a transformation could be like a shadowy glowy purple wispy silhouette like being with no features except 2 giant ear like horns and glowing cat shaped eyes made from him being consumed by his own aura, and given the fact he isn't even completely malicious and out to destroy the universe, perhaps in frustration he takes a form where he looses control and becomes like Broly in that he just wants to destroy everything, that would make a good climax.

Except that the giant robot isn't Dr. Wheelo's original body. So, in fact, all the main villains in DBZ movies have some sort of transformation... until now.

I was talking about Tullece, actually. Wheelo is movie 2.
