So that definitively places this one after the JSAT special, yes! One of the main things I've been wondering is answered at last, woot.

I hope they explain this in the Chozenshuu.

So does anybody know if this was the completed version of the movie? I mean, like, can they go back and edit something to improve it before the March 30th release.

Them mentioning Tarble is cool, so at least we know it's after the JSAT special. :)

The next movie could introduce inter-universe travelling, where the Z Fighters would meet the strongest beings from other universes.

I wonder if there's someone (a "god", lol) who watches over all the 12 universes.

Sounds like a Dragonball Multiverse rip-off, and I think it sounds fucking awesome!

What was the feeling like after the movie was over from the crowd Kei 17, I mean besides everyone doing a Kamehameha together. Was everyone talking about it being really good, or what?

Seeing as the Jump 08 special is my favorite of the 3 recent specials; I really like seeing it mentioned here.

Also wondering why Goku's on Kaio's planet at the beginning; do they just hang out sometimes?

Were the scenes from the 1st trailer actually in the film or were they either re-animated or not present all together?

Thanks.

Oh man, what's really exciting with the mention of the extra universes, and that Uisu is more powerful than Birusu is the possibility for more movies!! I'm less hopeful for a whole new series, but I think a theatrical movie every 2 years or something would be awesome.

Shocking to hear that Goku loses at the end! I'm having a hard time believing it, but Kei17 is such a trusted member of the community I'm gonna just have to accept it to be true!

I'm having a little hard time understanding what SSJ God is. It sounds like a SSJ Kaioken basically?

I can't believe all this hype is going on literally just when I join the forum, It's freaking exciting! Playing Persona 4 Golden on the vita while waiting for any spoilers, I promised myself I wasn't going to read the spoilers but Man, I failed. xD

LOL i'm trying to send my message but another one just keeps poping in and not letting me post :twisted:

This to me just implies that the "Gohan always could become SSj, but it would functionally be useless in battle" theory is true.

If Gohan's gonna go SSJ, I'm gonna just assume that Pan's fetus did as well.

Ahh, Persona 4, a great way to spend some idle time. :mrgreen:

It's bizarre how excited I am just reading all of this info. As desperate as I am waiting for more too, it's like a good desperate. My brain is going 'I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING, C'MMOOOOOONNNN!' but it's doing it with the biggest freaking smile you can imagine. I don't think I was this hyped for even the JSAT special.

*Still super-curious about the bingo games and what Vegeta's hosting act was like, but understands that it's practically 4am in Japan atm and Kei needs to sleep.*

*Hopes that drawing of ssjg still pops up though.*

Maybe Saiyan power is needed for SSG, so using the Kaioshin power-up doesn't count?

Persona 4 Freaking ROCKS!! :D

You tell me, I almost drop a tear when Kei wrote "The one inside Videl" and mind you, I read it 2 minutes after waking up, it totally zapped me of my sleepiness xD

The surprise about Pan both made me gasp and really wake up when I read it. XD
So cool. X3

The "Gohan needs to use his saiyajin power-up for it to count instead of his kaioshin one" works for me.

I'm actually really happy that Gohan uses SSJ after all, since it never was that much of a problem in the first place, like the less-imaginative part of the fans tend to exaggerate. Unfortunately, this will probably just re-fuel the useless debates over it yet again.
Maybe Saiyan power is needed for SSG, so using the Kaioshin power-up doesn't count?
Exactly what I was thinking. Toyble uses this idea in his story as well.

I wonder, could this ritual un-do that power-up altogether, with Gohan keeping his former power but regaining Super Saiyan?

Another GT plothole fixed perhaps. ;)
