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

[Sani]

And the list includes the Dragonball Evolution.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

A listing of the anime series in Chouzenshuu vol.2 says "AND MORE?!" after BoG.

I think it's pretty obvious that they want to do a sequel, what with them leaving all of this stuff lying around ("By the way he's stronger then me, you lose, see ya' in three years!"), unless it's more Toriyama influence where he writes like the adventure could continue . I think Toei's just gonna wait and see how not just Japan, but the world responds to this film. Don't be surprised if we do this all again in December, 2014.

Well, today has been surreal. Thanks for everything Kei!

If Vegeta surpassed Goku, you'd think it'd make more sense for him to be Super Saiyan God...

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Yeah! Vegeta could become SSJG too.
I hope if they do make sequels they remember that Goku hasn't seem Bulma for over 5 years at the EOZ. They should do some stuff with Uub too, that gives the Z Senshi time to train for the other Gods of destruction too.

I wonder if Goku has to unlock SSJ2, and 3 again, which will allow him to increase further on his God power.

"Birusu reveals that there are actually “12 universes”, and what we see in the Dragon World is but one of them — this ties in with the seemingly-out-of-the-blue notation in Chōzenshū 1: Story & World Guide that states Planet Earth, where Goku & co. live, is Planet 4032-877, and is part of the “Seventh Universe”."

They stole Dragonball Multi-verses ideas lol.

[worldmonsters]

I'm kind of getting a Radditz vibe here. I mean, it's sort of setup the same. Radditz crashes a party (like Bils, only this is more comic relief). He eventually fights Goku, and Goku sort of loses. Radditz reveals that there are two more Saiyans (there are 11 more universes, and perhaps (I don't think it's been confirmed, tho) 11 more Gods of Destruction) and they'll be here in 1 year (3 years after Bils will wake up again).

Kei, what do you think? If Bils wakes up again in three years, won't he go destroy the Earth again? Or does Uisu say that he'll stop Bils from doing so?

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

They haven't stole multi-verses idea because there isn't an infinite amount of Universes, and for all we know there might be completely original characters with different races which the Kaioshin created (who could also be different), as there is different Gods of destruction I guess.

[DBZ Mick]

I thought the 12 Gods of Destruction was just something posted on 2chan with no evidence for it's proof?

[kei17]

Yeahhh I won the lottery and now can buy a ticket for an advance screening of BoG and a marathon of six older movies on March 20! I'm so lucky these days.

I'll pay attention to things I missed or forgot this time.

[Nex Carnifex]

A gold SSj4 would be no different then fan art that exist on the Internet for the past 10+ years. The form for SSjG may not be original, but it's something a bit different.

How is it different when the design has already been used for a different form in the very same story already? I'd rather fan-art than just uninspired Kaio-ken aura with maybe brighter red lights, with fan art it would at least look powerful and godly.

Birusu reveals that there are actually “12 universes”, and what we see in the Dragon World is but one of them — this ties in with the seemingly-out-of-the-blue notation in Chōzenshū 1: Story & World Guide that states Planet Earth, where Goku & co. live, is Planet 4032-877, and is part of the “Seventh Universe”.

It's on the main site.

Wow Kei! You are lucky.

Not really because Dragon Ball Mutliverse's alternate universe are infinite and basically just slight variations of the main timeline.

I forgot to mention that. Birusu does say that he is the God of destruction of the seventh universe and each universe has its God of destruction.

[DBZ Mick]

Oh, okay. Good to have that properly confirmed...

Wow, they could make like 11 more movies with this kind of plot, haha...

[Michsi]

Thanks a lot for the Info Kei17, really appreciate it.


Didn't want to add to the onslaught of questions, but I can't help but wonder what you meant when you said that about Piccolo's only significant moment being one still image. Did you mean that the Karaoke scene was only one still image and that was his most memorable moment in the movie or was it something else? Eitherway, I kinda expected him to have more of a symbolic role than an acitve one, but I still kinda hoped

Strangely, the most intriguing moment for me from what I've read is about Vegeta's rage at Bulma's expense. Not a big fan of him or the pairing, but it was still impressive that they added something like this.

Now, what I am really interested in is the general impression from the fandom, but I guess we'll have to wait until after it's out in all theaters. This talk about a possible sequel and so forth probably depends on how the sales will look

Congratulations kei!

I once said the score "worked" at least, but I didn't mean it's just okayish. It's clearly better than the Yamamoto score in Kai. Especially, the piece plays in the scene when Goku transforms into SSJG was awesome. No offence to Yamamoto fans, but now I think it's good that it wasn't him.

The karaoke image only lasts a few seconds, so it's not his most memorable moment. It would be... when he fights Birusu, but falls unconscious with his few jab with a finger, I guess.

I forgot to mention that. Birusu does say that he is the God of destruction of the seventh universe and each universe has its God of destruction.

Did they also mention that Birusu is the weakest of the 12? :p If that's a rumour, best to get it out of the way asap :p

[Saiga]

If future movies have Gods of Destruction in them, then they should destroy their own universes before setting their eyes on Universe 7.

[Nex Carnifex]

Kei, what was your opinion on Super Saiyan God, were you disappointed that it was just a shinier Kaio-ken technique or do we have the wrong idea? Also, how bloody and damaged do Goku and Bills get towards the end of their battle?
