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

[TheMightyOzaru]

Ssj God isn't temporary. Goku can use it's powers while in his ssj state.

Only in his SSJ state? Not while in SSJ3? way to make that form even more useless, way to make Vegeta even more useless, damn, I imagine Vegeta gets SSJ3 eventually but why would they still have him so far behind?

I would imagine the ssj states past ssj are the improper way of extending the ssj power. Ssj God isn't exactly exclusive to Goku so Vegeta could attain it.

Whatever we've learned so far sounds awesome!

I hope, this isn't just a movie, but a pilot for a new series.

In all honestly, that's exactly what it feels like to me.

I doubt this is for a new comic or TV series. We'll be lucky if Toriyama is up for a new film every one or two years.

Though I have to ask Kei, do Pilaf and gang stay as kids or are they reverted back to their original state before the movie ends? If not I'd like to see how Kaboom tries to workout Kid Pilaf and gang problem.

Depending on how much more crazy info we get, I'll have to figure out whether GTR and Battle of Gods will be "compatible" at all, or if it'll have to go the same way as DBO's events and just have some subtle nods to it at most. So far it's looking to be a better match for the original GT than for a drastic rewrite of it.

So, Super Saiyan God... Goku doesn't really "keep" the form, but he can summon its power when he needs to? Isn't that pretty much the same thing? Kind of makes ANYTHING set after the manga seem cheap if Goku's practically unbeatable.

That said, if Billy won in the end, does that mean even the "Super Saiyan God" power didn't quite match up to him? Or did it make Goku stronger or at least a challenge for him and only fail because it ran out of time? How did the final fight actually play out?

That would be cool if you made Goku combine the power of Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan God...I already know how it would look it would have the SS4 hair just glowing red, sort of like SS4 Gogeta's hair but all the body hair too. And it would be shiny.

Dragon Ball GT has nothing to do with 12 different universes though.

It's probably just a prologue to more movie sequels. But hell, a new series wouldn't be bad.

Ssjg doesn't have a special costume than, does it? And is it more magical power-up than omnipotence?

[Cold Skin]

Hmm, I wonder if the different universes are the alternate timelines such as Trunks' timeline etc or whether they are something else altogether.

Yeah, I was wondering the same.
It might be universes with completely different planets and beings.

But if it's more about "alternate versions of the same universe" featuring other versions of the same characters, giving the information that there are other universes might be a subtle way to indulge fans who want to consider GT and movies really happened, but in another reality than the main series / manga events.

This is what I'd like to know as well

The funniest scene was when Gohan gets drunk and goes completely nuts. He wears the Saiyaman costume and asks Mai to shoot him. Incidentally, one of the bullets hit Vedel's leg, and Dende notices she's pregnant while healing her.

I wonder, did Dende spread the word? I really want to know how their parents react.

I'm can totally imagine Chi-chi passing out either because by anger or hapinness (or both )

[Chuquita]

*Wonders how they'd go about traveling to the other 11 universes if they wanted to*. Would it be more outer-space type travel or would they need something special similar to Trunks' time machine?

[Herms]

It seems like a cop-out but regarding the three wishes, doesn't Piccolo say that because of the immense amount of revivals wished for in the Buu Saga that the Dragon Balls lost some power and only one wish can be made?

No, in the Boo arc after Bulma and co. revive the people Vegeta killed, Goku thinks that they should have 2 wishes left, but Piccolo explains that because they used the first wish to revive lots of people, only 1 remains.

This. Suddenly, the Dragon World has grew 12 times bigger! And since Goku is the strongest fighter of the 7th Universe, then who are the strongest fighters of the 11 other Universes? They can easily make a new series from this.

I would imagine the ssj states past ssj are the improper way of extending the ssj power. Ssj God isn't exactly exclusive to Goku so Vegeta could attain it.

To be perfectly honest the SSJG seems nothing more than just a power up since he can still use everything about it just as a SSJ making the form kind of meaningless which in turns makes attaining it for other characters pointless as well since they can just strengthen said SSJ forms to said level anyway. This is definitely possible considering SSJ 1 o2 Vegeta surpassed Goku's SSJ3 form, no matter how short it was.

This movie does explain why Goku's so strong in GT and why Vegeta would still be relevant as well. Still, I going crazy over multiple universe. Its like a dream come true ever since I read DB Multiverse fanmanga. I do wonder why limited the universes to a dozen in specific? Damn, I wish I knew how to speak Japanese fluently I have so many question to ask Watanabe in general about the multiple universe concept.

This has nothing to do with GT...

Depending on how Kei answers the Pilaf question there's nothing saying we can't count BoGs events as part of GT's past.

As for the topic of BoGs, has any fans flooded Watanabe's twitter account with questions about these revelations and what not? I'm totally interested in his responses now. I also hope this opens the door for at least more movie or OVAs at least. They totally have to explore the multiverse concept they introduced now.

They could do some really creative things with these other universes. I like that it leaves the door open, even in-universe because that means there'll still be challenges out there for Goku somewhere.

[Master Turbo]

*Wonders how they'd go about traveling to the other 11 universes if they wanted to*. Would it be more outer-space type travel or would they need something special similar to Trunks' time machine?

In my opinion would be more practical if it was something special needed similar to Trunks' time machine.

Perhaps one of the universe is completely empty, and some of the local Gods go to investigate and discover a being within that universe became so powerful he wiped out and possibly even consumed everything within it. Now that would be a powerful enemy.

Maybe a Janemba like creature that can dimensional travel could invade the Dragon Ball universe and then he must be stopped, so many fucking awesome possibilities.
