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

[UpFromTheSkies]

I don't think any type of continuation would star anyone other than Goku. The story isn't called Goku's Martial Arts Adventures but it still has always been just that.

I'd like to see a story with Vegeta as the hero. Maybe someone from one of the planets that Vegeta and Nappa destroyed survived, and they've been training this whole time so they could kill Vegeta and avenge their people. I can imagine Vegeta having an attitude of "I've changed, but I'm not going to apologize for who I was and I'm not going to let you destroy my home.If you want to fight me I understand and respect that, and I will give you the fight you want"

So far it doesn't sound like Toei made a smart move here.

Par for the course for Toei, then.

That magenta hair is so surreally-awesome imo. X3

If the hair is more magenta than Kaio-ken red colored I have no problem with SSJG. That drawing actually makes it look pretty good and plus that angry look, looks awesome with the red eyes.

Wow would you look at that cosplay! Sad and funny that he got detained. I really want to see an Uisu cosplayer now!

That super saiyan God is a bit buff lol.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Not a big fan of the pink hair.

Egads! The anatomy on that one! Any more off and that artist would be right at home at Toei Animation.

I have to say, though, I'm pleasantly surprised and happy with the design of SSJ God. Toriyama definitely made the right decision aiming for simplicity.

Good point.

Love it...

So...remember how I said a while back that after the final fight, Beers and Whis attend the rest of Bulma's party? Well scratch that, it seems that actually they just talk with Bulma about attending her next party, then depart for their palace, where they eat sushi and Whis puts Beers back to sleep. Then on Earth everyone continues Bulma's party without them. Sorry about that; apparently I'm a silly person who doesn't pay attention very well.

(Yes, we're almost done with that summary. Rather very quite almost done. Really, really getting there. Say, did I mention Birusu only puts out about 70% of his full power during the battle with Super Saiyan God? OK, I'm really just trolling at this point. It'll be done soon!)

Herms, you cannot joke like that with this fandom! That is going to end up on DB Wikia and become a rumor that permeates through YouTube comments for at least five years!

[ドラゴ]

I've noticed they've made Birusu move at speeds undetectable to DBZ norms, whilst everyone else moves at slow motion. At this point, Birusu should be "invisible" when the Z fighters attacked since even SSJ3 Goku wasn't able to detect his movements. In retrospect, since a gap in power is that huge, it should've resembled 4th form Freeza vs. Piccolo, Kuririn and Son Gohan or Super Boohan vs. Super Vegito, so I didn't get when Son Gohan was able to get Birusu into a full neslon? It's possible they were just showing how skilled Burisu was, even toying around with them.

[Chuquita]

Love it...

I wanna know what he did to earn those sour stares from everybody. >u<

Also, I know it's probably not intentional, but I think it's cute that Bulma and Vegeta are both doing the "arms-folded-in-contempt" thing.

[penguintruth]

Oolong's probably saying, "Damn it, Goku, you're the reason this guy's come here! You always drag us into trouble!"

You're cruel af, now DB fandom will really believe that Birus was only at 70% when he fought SSJG Goku, leading to discussions on how that may or may not clue us in on how strong Birus is compared to Super Li Xing Long or Golden Ohzaru Baby.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Love it...

I knew I wouldn't be the only one to like their stance. I love it!

In the "Nakagawa" ad, voice actress Shoko Nakagawa describes one of the film's themes: to defend what you hold dear, you will fight, gain courage and the desire to live, and strive for your dreams. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr6-jQmTy_M )

I have followed this thread with interest, and upon seeing SSJ God Goku, I noted a few points.

The art direction of "Less is more" works well for this production, as this references the history of the Saiyajin race, with the form being used many generations ago.This also gives us an insight that the Saiyajin race had at least some knowledge of one other distinct form that their race could unlock when in dire need. Why this form was not mentioned alongside the Legendary Super Saiyajin legend, I do not know. Perhaps past Sayiajin's witnessed such an exponential increase of the users power in their time that the "God" moniker was justified, but as we know, said Saiyajin would be rather weak in current circumstances.

I particularly liked the notion given by another forum member that Kaio-ken was a poor attempt to replicate the form - if this was Toriyama's subtle intent for viewers to discover, it ties in brilliantly.

Goku being able to tap into this power after using it once suggests to me that natural ability (and quite possibly, genetics) may attribute to the unlocking of uncharted potential, as seen with SSJ2 and 3. It also would seem that the form relies on base power and amplifies the user, with the final output being an exponential of all 6 providers, multiplying the base power of the end user.

Example, If the tables were turned and Goku was one of the providers to Vegeta, there is a distinct possibility that his final output may be even higher than Goku, due to Goku's higher power level.

This leads me to believe that Toriyama has more in store with this form, specifically, being able to stack the form within his SSJ forms.The image posted by Chuquita shows (amongst the magnificent magenta hair and red eyes) a distinct spiking of the fringe and somewhat partially up-swept hair, borrowing rather heavily from the SSJ / SSJ2 style. This may be a deliberate art direction, or a preview of greater powers to be unlocked.

In any case, I do hope that this will be explained in future productions.

Say, has this ad been posted here yet? I don't remember seeing it before.

There are a couple of new images, but nothing particularly amazing, although that first part with Goku and Kaio-sama, made me chuckle

Funny fan made Toriyama comic for SSJG Vegeta

[TheMightyOzaru]

Lol , Doesn't Toriyama like Vegeta now though?
