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

[omegalucas]

I'd say he'll be up in about four to five hours (supposing he has to go to work or school or something).
It was around 4 o'clock (maybe) in the morning in Japan when he logged off and that was about half an hour ago. Do the math.

Well, it seems to be 7 AM already in Japan so I may be mistaken

[The Monkey King]

Thanks for the info Kei!

This movie sounds so awesome and I can't wait to see it and I hope DB continues with all of this 12 universe stuff

Although I'm dissapointed with SSJG looking like kaio-ken and Gotenks (my fav character) not doing much

Oh well I'm sure the gags will more than make up for it

On a random note when the bullets were fired at Gohan did they bounce off him Superman style before hitting Videl?

[Ringworm128]

And now I will avoid this thread like the plague. Dear Funimation, please drop everything you are working on right now and focus on getting this to the west ASAP.

Hmm, Gods having their own type of ki explains many things but then it wouldn't alllow Goku to use Shunkan Idou to reach for Kaiou's planet

Kei, whenever you're able, could you tell us:

Did Birusu know who Boo was?
How did Boo pissed off Birusu?
Do you think the whole "Uisu being stronger than Birusu" is a nod to some kind of continuation?
Did Uisu acted suspicious at all or just as a weird "master who just cares of making his student strong but treats him as a superior either way"?
Was the wish Pilaf Gang made on-screen or a past wish? If it was on-screen, and since Shenglong was used to tell them about SSJG, how did that flow in the movie?
Were Pilaf and the others relevant at all or just as gag characters? Were they even invited to the party?

They have normal ki as well, not only godly.

[penguintruth]

So wait, if they reanimated some of Goku's fight with Freeza in a flashback, it means Freeza is in the movie!

Does he get any lines?

Also, looking forward to inevitable ピンチ on Infinite 地球.

Love the bit with Videl and fetus!Pan, it's so unexpected but exciting nonetheless! To be honest, I thought Videl would have bigger role to play than just 'being pregnant'.
Is it confirmed that Gohan and Videl are married at this point? Would be amazing if they aren't, Chichi's expression alone would be worth it. Gohan knocking up his girlfriend and getting drunk at a party, never thought he had it in him! He's almost a parody of himself, the quiet, reserved, sensible teen he used to be

I also think it's a nice touch on Toei's part that they have Vegeta actually being relevant, or even include a power up for him. I mean they sidelined Gohan in this movie (I assume he gets taken out of the fight pretty quickly, only Vegeta is able to hold his own against Bills, right?) and pretty much is credited only for getting Videl pregnant. It also appeared to me that he wasn't as heavily featured in the marketing/merchandising of the movie. Of course, maybe he will be featured more aside from his drunken escapades, but it doesn't look very promising for Gohan fans from what we've seen/heard. I hope I'm wrong though, but I'm not too bothered by it.

As a pretty big Gohan fan myself, I'm pretty satisfied. I already knew he would be sidelined from the start (in terms of fights), so I was hoping for some great comedy. Kei17 did say the funniest scene did involve drunken Gohan, so I'm pretty elated!

Just hope he doesn't come off as an ass when Videl gets shot.

[JeffJarrett]

I wonder how Super Saiyan God will work in games? I guess they'll just ignore all logic of it. It would be great if they made it a team battle exclusive thing though. Have a team of 6 'good' Saiyans to use it!

It'll be a Blast 1, like the Kaio-ken.

[FindKenshi]

Not sure I like the bit about Super Saiyan God appeared on Planet Vegeta to stop bad saiyans bit... why wasn't that their big legend, then? After all, the previous Super Saiyan before Goku was before they ever even got to Planet Vegeta IIRC. (from the Daizenshuu timeline)

You saw the movie, too?

Nah, but I also got that idea from what kei17 said.

No, I can't...

But yeah, that's what I assumed from what kei17 said.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Just thought of another question to throw out there for when kei comes back, if he wants to answer it - how were Nakagawa and um...the Judo lady (her name escapes me) in their bit parts? Was their acting pretty decent?

[Sanity's_Theif]

Yes, I'm glad to know that a SSJ2 Vegeta can exceed SSJ3 Goku, even if its only temporally.

Wait, I missed this.... well, given the implications, this means Vegeta is in all actuality stronger than Goku if he can surpass SSJ3 Goku's strength in a lower form, Vegeta's got some deep hidden potential, I like it... very much so

Well he his an elite and the Prince of all Saiyans, so the deep potential makes sense.
I guess he isn't that good with his emotions, ergo can't easily access his potential.

That would be fantastic. I feel like it'd make for a fun mini-arc if it were a series; Vegeta learning he may have more potential than Goku has, but knowing he can't access it unless he gets a better handle on his own emotions which is something that'd just make Vegeta feel incredibly awkward about. XD

[Sanity's_Theif]

Wait, does Gohan fight in SSJ? Or does he just use it for SSG once?

[Gyt Kaliba]

I agree, that'd be completely amazing.

Wait, does Gohan fight in SSJ? Or does he just use it for SSG once?

It's my understanding that he only does it to help Goku achieve Super Saiyan God, rather than fighting in it, yeah.

[NeoKING]

Honestly, I don't want there to be any continuation or anything. The series is already over. This movie gave us a secret adventure that no one knew about back in the 80s-90s of Dragon Ball's peak. We've gotten a pretty full story. I'm satisfied with the way things are.
