Anyone pick up a copy?
I want to, but not for Amazon's high shipping prices. CDJapan hasn't listed it yet, anywhere else got it?

Birusu is described as the strongest being in the history of Z (save Uisu for the surprise factor), and Goku powers up enough to rival him with Super Saiyan God. As absurd as it sounds, it's a valid interpretation of the film's contents and supplemental info at the moment.

Umm Birusu is stated to be the strongest in the history of Z. He is stronger than Super Vegetto.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Re: other places that have the guidebook.

Outside of amazon I haven't seen it. Since it's a magazine it makes it harder to get


Re: Toriyama interview.

I like how there's an explaination behind why ssjg looks the way it does. I'm satisfied with the reasoning (though I guess part of it is due to how much I came to like it after I got to draw the form.).

Anyway, I really hope that the "Party gets crashed by unsuspecting guests" plot is now done :o The JSAT was awesome and I think this movie is going to be awesome as well, BUT... come on :p It's basically the same thing, apart from the bad guys being less strong. I do think though that the whole party thing in the movie is fleshed out A LOT more. I really hope they make a few more movies with a little more adventure :p Let them go somewhere, or let them at least not all start in one place already, but let them come together one by one :p Like for example the start of the Android arc with King Cold and Freeza arriving, or at least a little more creative :p Anyway, that was me bitching a bit, but never mind, the movie's still way too awesome already, I can't bring it down with this :p Just hope next movies are a little more creative is all :)

I saw the movie for the second time and noticed that Trunks and Mai were on a tree in the final scene. Is she officially his girl friend now? :D

I would've thought that was pretty cute in any other situation but, since Mai is really an adult, that's kind of creepy.

I'm not sure if I find this adorable or mildly disturbing, given her actual age. :lol: Could definitely prove interesting though.

Then again, I jokingly like to tie in the 'Ranfan's husband was named Trunks' thing by assuming that Future Trunks and Bulma retire from their ruined future into the far past, and Trunks hooks up with her there. :mrgreen:

That's kind of disappointing since CDJapan does carry a lot of the Jump magazines. Oh well, hopefully it turns up somewhere besides Amazon, because I just can't bring myself to pay six times book's cost for the shipping of a ~$5 magazine. :/

Considering CDJapan sells a lot of magazines it'll surely turn up there as well.
Well, I hope... I don't wanna pay Amazon's shipping prices either.

I don't find the possible Mai and Trunks pairing creepy since the way Mai behaved as an adult (i.e. Her reaction to "pat-pat" and "slurp-slurp") she practically a child in my opinion. Thus the pairing is just cute.

It sucks, I know, but that's how the film was made out to be, so that's what it is.
Ssj Goku Goku> Super Vegetto

Good point, I forgot about that aspect of her and the other twos' personalities. Now I want to see what Pilaf and Shu would think of Trunks and Mai being an item.

Actually...this gives me an awesome thought, but also a question. First, if Trunks and Mai become an item, then...the Pilaf gang could very easily be added to the overall group of Goku's friends and family. I love this idea for some reason. Moving from that though...is Lunch in this film at all? We haven't seen any indications of any kind, but she was there in the JSAT, so...

Could this potentially tie into DBO, where Mai-a-likes are usually seen around Capsule Corp facilities? =PP

I need this movie NOW! xD

BTW, is there anything mentioned in the film about where Birusu's castle is located? Is it another Kaioshin Realm situation, or just some odd location within the universe sphere?

Bwah?! They are? Okay, that's it. I declare them as an item to be in my new personal canon. :mrgreen: Though that leaves the whole Pilaf's descendant causing trouble thing still, doesn't it? Be interesting to see something explaining how he ended up going back to Pilaf's roots rather than where he ends up, assuming my theory holds up anyway.
