Maybe he coated the chopsticks with some of his energy?

Ohh, that's right. My bad, I think I was thinking of when Goku appeared and threw an energy disc or something. :oops:

Ok I just read some info on this and I'm super stoked.

Oisu and Birusu sound so interesting, and Oisu, who never fights, is actually more powerful and is Birusu's master! :P

This movie is looking more and more awesome.

Well that does exist since DBO introduced putting ki into swords, so putting it into chopsticks shouldn't be a problem.

Something I noticed, I thought the Birusu powering up shot was originally in space?

He may have thought that him+Piccolo+18 had a small chance at hurting Beers.

I have only seen Trunks do that in video games. Ki in the finger is still part of the body. i haven't seen ki through objects in the manga or anime

Did anyone notice that Gohan actually flashes up right before taking off (check it at 1:10)? It's almost like they just painted over his Super Saiyan hair and aura :lol:

Well, Trunks slashed Freeza up with that sword, that's gonna have been some ki going through it.

Gohan always powered up to become "mystic" or "ultimate", including in movie 13.
He screams in place for a few second, with either wind and a big hole in front of him or some simple usual aura symbolizing when he reaches the max with a flash. :wink:

As in the alcohol? Not that I know of, especially since scriptwriter confirmed that alcohol had absolutely nothing to do with the pun at all.

The "Virus" pun is more than likely (with the word directly turning into both Birusu and Uirusu - hence Uisu - in Japanese, and the fact that a virus spreads destruction, what more pun do you need for the two characters?), but we'll have to wait for some official confirmation to settle this once and for all.
Until then - and even after - people may choose whatever they like. 8)

Actually, movie 13 was the only story in which Mystic Gohan was seen to power up.

And still, it looked different than this "shiny" powerup.

Not anymore. Now we have two movies and the Dimps video games showing Gohan powering up to his Ultimate form.

And when he turns "mystic/ultimate" the first time, with super wind and lightnings all over the place, screaming in place for a few seconds just the same.
After that, he stays that way.
That would make three different instances of him powering-up, with various effects applied to show his power-up. This in no transformation though, and characters do power-up just the same more than one time, screaming in place just to power-up without transforming into anything (like Gohan and Krilin on Namek).

So I think he definately just powers-up here, there's no need to try to see a "replaced transformation" anywhere! :wink:

The scriptwriter said "pils" from pilsner wasn't the source. Beers was used on some new merchandise and seems likely.

I'm still in semi-transition from Birusu to Beers, but I'll get used to typing Beers at some point.
