I'd really like to be able to type Gokū since it's more accurate, but there's no easy way to do it outside of my phone. I don't know if I'd want to try it like "Gokuu".

My naming schemes are all over the place. I generally like to preserve the pun though. (Kuririn, Table, the-not-yet-used-to Blooma).

Birus and Uis have name puns that are left over from an earlier draft of the script though...I dunno, I'm just gonna stick with Birus and Uis for now.

First day in a while where I've been able to wake up, and not have to spend like 20-30 minutes catching up with the thread. :P

I love that YoungJiJi picture, but Goku has been drawn to muscular considering he's in his SSJG form.

Anyone can name anyone the heck they want xD. it's just a pronunciation to me, I'm not comfortable saying: Kuririn, Gokuu and the bane of my existence, Blooma xD. I am cool with everyone pronouncing the way the way, but I feel weird when saying: Beers, Birusu, Uiisuu, Torankusu, I'll stick to the english pronunciations.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Are you kidding? His ego will never go away. :lol: Sure, he's not so vocal anymore with his boasting and stuff and his arrogance has been toned down, but I believe he will always have a gigantic ego.
I said he doesn't have much of one anymore. If he does, he is good at hiding it. I know he still has the drive to surpass Kakarotto but other than that, he his ego has deflated.
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."

I made it for fun. I used the following tracks:

11. Earth’s Crisis
21. Birusu’s Wrath
29. Chosen Warriors
12. A Memory Recalled
37. As Long as He Lives

Really awesome mix. Perhaps I should wait for the movie to see how well it truly fits with dragon ball.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

On the earlier topic of how to pronounce 'Birus', I understand that saying it like 'Virus' (only with a B) isn't how it's being said in Japanese, but it does seem to preserve the name pun better IMO, hence why I'm kind of sticking to that. Well, that and the only people I'm likely to actually verbalize about this stuff with is my girlfriend, so there's literally no harm in it, and everyone else reading my typing will just read it however they want anyway. :mrgreen:

Neither ANN nor Crunchyroll's news posts about Vegeta's dancing mention why he's dancing. XD
It's interesting to read all the theories people are coming up with in the comments sections.

For Bills' & Uisu's names, if bloomers can be Bulma, the virus can be Bills. But I'll use Uis for now, until we get an official English pronunciation.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Tomorrow's the day guys! Can't believe we're finally here, after this weekend it's all gonna be down hill; from the box office numbers, to the home release and finally the international screenings. Thinking about it in hindsight, it really hasn't been all that long since the mysterious "D" website first appeared. This film really bought out the best and the worst in the DB Online community- it seemed to squash those Dragon Ball H*shi rumours for one thing, but then it gave birth to a variety of its own ones. :lol:

What are your DB-related plans for this weekend? What are you hoping to know after this weekend?
In terms of plans, I have the obligatory DB Movie marathon planned out. I also intend on spending a decent amount of time on Kanzenshuu, 2Ch, the Dragon Ball Figures Collection blog, Twitter and Google. There's also the podcast; wouldn't miss that for the world.

What I'm hoping to find out is how it ends up being received by the Japanese public, as well as how well it does financially- sounds real dorky, but honestly, I really hope this film exceeds Toei's expectations. It'd be awesome to see how this movie compares to some of the other films, but since this is its own stand-alone thing I don't think they (BOG) can be compared with any of them, except maybe movies 11 and 17. Another dorky thing I wanna know about is the opening and end credits. Are they cinematic? Is the ending nostalgic? Kei7 said they used the original Manga for the end credits which sounds amazing.
