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

[CaBrPi]

I don't think Uisu will fight at all. It would be nice to give someone else a victory, though.

Sort of like how it was actually Gohan that delivered the final blow to Vegeta (even if it was entirely luck)? I think that'd work. Goku would still get the credit, but at least some of the others would still get part of the spotlight.

I wasn't thinking like that. I meant that Goku fights Bils on his own, and then someone else fights Uisu, probably Vegeta or Gohan.

Oh. I thought you meant someone else having victory over Bils.

is there any new movie news? i heard this was 80 minutes long somewhere and 120 minutes somewhere else. what is the right time length? I really want a long movie cause its the first new official thing since DBZ ended like 100 years ago.

[MasterVampire]

What I dont understand is if Goku's first fight was as SSJ3 and he got flicked away so easy like that in his most powerfull form, then why do we have later scenes in the movie where he is just fighting him in space and stuff as a SSJ 1 or 2 ?

I mean he tried his most powerfull form before and got beaten so why go back for another attempt in his weaker transformations?

There's a site, too.
There is only one place all this translated information is coming from.

My guess is the others pool their power to super-charge Goku for round 2, ala movie 8.

I really hope this movie doesn't end like that. It always seemed more blatant in Movie 8 where everyone was giving their powers to supreme mega awesome one of a kind, ***~~~GOKUU~~~*** and how it made all of his allies look like disposable Ki bags rather than characters.

That´s not gonna happen I think ( hope not )!! In the trailer, we see for a few seconds, Kakarotto kick Birusu ass in SSJ3. That no mean anything but who knows!

[Insertclevername]

Come to think of it, isn't the "donating ki" thing kind of stupid because if they are able to donate all their energy to Gokuu and make him substantially stronger; why didn't they do that against Cell?

[TheMightyOzaru]

Didn't Goku want Gohan to take up his mantel as protector of Earth? Killing Cell would ultimately ruin his plans

We don't, actually. What we see is SSJ3 Goku doing rapid fisticuffs without knowing it's actual effects. The scenes where Goku is landing hits on Bils and putting up more of a fight was when he was SSJ2.

Well, putting aside the PIS of wanting to fight Cell on sporting terms, Cell was ready to put a stop to any attempt at anything other than a strictly one-on-one affair.

So I take it that this is all recycled info?

By the way, what magazine was this taken from?

EDIT: Rest of the Saiyaman shot:


EDIT 2: Vegeta's face seems to have spread to the far corners of Twitter. Surprised no one has made it their avatar yet. I would, but I like my Tommy Bowe-Quade Cooper gif too much.

EDIT 3: There's been some really good advertising going on lately :




Would something like say, a Naruto Movie, get this much publicity? Or is it just because Battle of Gods is potentially a one off? My expectations for this movie's gross revenue keeps rising.

[sonikku956]

I swear, if this movie flops in the box office...


Look at that advertising!

[Silkman3003]

The scan was posted already, BUT I dont think we've had a translation for the whole scan yet.

The 2012 Naruto movie received a lot of promotion, actually. Kishimoto Masashi was heavily involved with the story as it was the tenth anniversary of the cartoon. There was also an exhibit for the film as part of the tenth anniversary celebration.

By the way, what magazine was this taken from?

I would assume it's the March issue of Cinecom Walker, a monthly magazine distributed at certain theaters. It came out just this past weekend.

Huh. The plot description lines up exactly with the Dragon Ball SD take on things. Also, it's not Vegeta, but Buu who finally pisses off the God of Love Destruction.

Yeah, for some reason there's a promotion going on at the Ikebukuro Sunshine Street location in Tokyo, with all seven Dragon Balls gathered there. Somebody I know in Tokyo went to the Ebisu KFC to take a picture of the nearest Colonel Sanders statue wearing Goku's outfit, and found that he wasn't holding a Dragon Ball any more. (I have told Mike about this once or twice already, but it's yet to see the light of day as a news update....)

Hm. I thought it would've been Goten and Trunks.

I don't know why, but I felt compelled to translate the caption from Bulma's birthday party (you're welcome Chuquita ). The whole party scene alone has me SO super excited for this movie!

ベジータが笑顔で踊る！？ギャグシーンも満載
パーティに飛び入り参加したビルスの機嫌をとるべく、プライドを捨てて会場を沸かすベジータ。酔っ払ったグレートサイヤマン＝悟飯のマル秘シーンなど、シュールで楽しい鳥山ギャグも今作には随所に盛り込まれている！
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vegeta Dancing With a Smile?! It's Fully Loaded With Gag Scenes
Vegeta musters all of his excitement and casts aside his pride to put Birusu, the party's unannounced attendee, in a good mood. Even confidential scenes, such as the drunken Great Saiyaman (Gohan), are surreal, fun Toriyama gags that have been incorporated into the production!

Stupidly happy Vegeta + more drunken Gohan + Piccolo singing = SOLD!

Dancing, smiling Vegeta?
OH. OH MY GOD.
This requires the DeviantART "la/bring it on!" emoticon.


Battle of Gods is now my favorite Dragon Ball movie. And I haven't even seen it yet.

*Also excited for drunken Gohan and Piccolo singing antics, but they are atm eclipsed by Vegeta shenanigans*.

Thank you so so so much for translating!!

[Insertclevername]

D-drunken Gohan!? YES

It's kind of like a call back to Movie 1 but now about 15 years later.

That's it, I'm taking my college intuition and flying to Japan to see this movie.

[InfernalVegito]

So Vegeta attempts his best to entertain him?
This will be fun.
Also, Boo pisses him off? How and why? lol
