I dunno, it kinda looks like Kuririn's just trying to make sure Gyumao and ChiChi get away safely.

Probably not true, but as a Kuririn fan, give me something here.

I personally don't see anything awkward about the Gohan shot. I think it looked really nice. That Piccolo part, though. Wow. It's surreal seeing him and Tenshinhan got beaten (served?) with chopsticks. Great scene. It's great hearing Vegeta call Billy "-sama," too.

Woah! Those Birusu battle scenes were amazing! Also I didn't think that Gohan power up was strange at all, it just looked like he unlocked his power to me.

Oh man I wish I got to see Vegeta fight, I guess he won't start until Birusu slaps Bulma. Watching Vegeta defend his woman will be amazing! I gotta see the movie!

I don't know if this has been mentioned already but Ultimate Gohan just got owned in that clip with ease, yet in the trailers it looks like Super Saiyan 1 Goku is giving Birisu a better fight... something isn't right there.

Or just that Goku (and also Vegeta) is stronger than Gohan now in Toriyama's eyes.

Well when Gohan flashes the lighting on his clothes look like they do when he has a SSJ aura.

I'm on the side that thinks Gohan wasn't recolored from SSJ to base-form but, fair enough, he has his "transformed eyes" at the beginning of that power up scene.

I absolutely love that quick scene. Birusu is a badass, and it seems like he knows pressure points, taking into account the way he took Piccolo out. And I can't stop laughing thinking that, he's so pissed just because Buu ate something he wanted :lol:
I'd have loved if Gohan wasn't defeated as easily as the rest of the group though, but then again, it's Gohan we're talking about here. He probably stopped training. I did enjoy his powering up, and I didn't make me think of a Super Saiyan at all, to be honest.
That whole thing of Trunks pretending Mai is his girlfriend to impress Goten fits quite well with them. As always, Trunks acting like he's way more mature than Goten.

Oh, btw, this guy on DevianART, Accelerator16, made this drawing of Super Saiyan God, which I personally think is the closest to the actual thing I've seen until now. Obviously he used as base, the drawing posted on a door that we saw on that video a while back, but he included what we now know about the transformation.
Check it out...

Yes, Goku visited me once. He turned to me while I was still speechless, and said, "You've drank too much"...

The super Saiyan god should've looked like at least it would be satisfactory.
"There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

I believe so yes.

Also, I would have liked to see Gohan last a little longer, but like it was said before, this is Gohan, he slacked I'm sure, but still... Birusu's power really is Godly.

If Dragon Ball SD's Battle of Gods chapter is to be believed, doesn't Goku go at Birusu with Super Saiyan 3 the first time they fight, and still gets his butt kicked? If that's the case, it's likely that any shot of him fighting Birusu as a Super Saiyan is after Super Saiyan God has appeared.

It probably is. I believe that Goku transformed into the red Super Saiyan God on Earth, then the battle moved to space, then the form's time ran up, then he turned into Super Saiyan while still tapping into the power of the Super Saiyan God. I'm not entirely sure if kei confirmed this but I think so.

What's strange is that Goku has his gi torn up in some scenes, and then he seems to have hi gi intact in what appears to be the final showdown in space.

It's something like that. Super Saiyan God runs out of time and Goku turns back into a regular Super Saiyan, but he doesn't even realize it. Beers says Goku got the gist of Super Saiyan God and so did not significantly power down after SSG's time ran out.

He has a torn-up gi in two scenes: with Bils in space and with everybody else on the generic rocky plains that were on the first poster. Both scenes probably fit after Goku is defeated. The first one should be Goku talking to Bils after his defeat and the latter is probably when Bils tries to destroy the Earth.

Oh man, strength discussion people are gonna blow their lids over the things this film does. It's almost as if it's saying: it's okay guys, it's really not all that important, ebb and flow baby.

This is turning into something incredibly silly like the whole "right vs left" politics thing... "strength discussion people" really? You think the movie did this just to ridicule people who care about character strength? What is this the Glen Beck show?

Ssj4 Gogeta did pop into my mind when I saw that Super Saiyan God's prominent feature was the red hair. :thumbup:
