Battle of Gods...2?

[penguintruth]

They should hype up an epic scale second movie, only to show a jaunty adventure movie starring Oolong, Pu'er, Chaozu, Umigame, and Yajirobe when people get into theaters. And in the last scene Oolong farts and kills Birusu. Credits roll with Toriyama's laughter played over it.

300 million is way too much. There is no way in hell that a DBZ movie is going to make that much money.

I started thinking about the 12 different universes, how each having their own Gods of Destruction with power that is likely either comparable or superior to Beers' own, and how Super Saiyan God wasn't even strong enough to match him.

If they were to have a new series, movie, or series of movies, that would involve the other universe's haikaishin as antagonists, then the series wouldn't be able to devolve into "who's stronger than who" contests. Strategy would have to be used in order to overcome dangerous foes with something other than raw power of fighting strength. Well, that, or have the incredibly uninspired "Super Saiyan God 2" and so on...

Yeah...sorry about that. Not sure if you read the last page, but their target is actually 3 Billion Yen.

Ssj God is more a power up seeing as how Goku can access it's powers in his Ssj form. If Goku trained himself he might be able to increase his new powers by going Ssj2 or 3. I wouldn't call that uninspired. However yes, strategy would be nice instead of who is stronger than who fest, though, I would imagine Goku will need to surpass Ssj God to have hopes of beating all 12 with the help of his friends, whom should all acquire Ssj God to stand a chance against these threats.

After the near defeat of Birusu, maybe the other 11 Gods are already aware of the Kakarotto´s powers.

Perhaps these other 11 Gods are not too powerful beings.

Maybe those 12 Gods come together and form a unique and unbeatable being.

I think, more movies is not only the best, but the only way to go. No way is Toriyama going to help an entire series, because he's lazy :p Well at least, that's what I think. More movies? Sure! They could make Battle of Gods (or Kami to Kami) a subtitle, like "Kai" was. But the thing with movies is that, for one, the animation is going to better and two is that it won't be GT. If Toriyama is not going to work on the story, let's just face it, it's gonna be GT all over again and that's the absolute last we want

Also, they really won't make new movies just to pit a character against another character to 'make things more clear'. It's not on the creators minds. Toriyama wants to tell a fun story and make people laugh, Toei is in it for the bucks, Yusuke Watanabe is in it because he loves what Dragon Ball is, a fun story with gags and some awesome fighting :p None of these people care if Broly Super Saiyan God could take on Vegetto Super Saiyan 3 or not, so you can just stop expecting things like this to ever become clear. It's only going to get more confusing

I would argue that Toriyama very well might help out on a new series; he likes coming up with stories and drawing character designs, but he hates having to draw the whole thing himself with a weekly deadline. If all he had to do was design a couple of new characters and come up with a short plot every 2-3 months (maybe more frequent at first to help set things up for slightly longer story arcs later on), I think he could handle it since the animation team would be doing the part he doesn't want to. xD

[Hellspawn28]

I can see Toriyama helping out with the story and characters with a new TV series. Creators have return to their own franchise before after many years later, so anything is possible.

Hate to bump this thread, but I found something interesting on CinemaToday. While looking at one of the new BOG articles, I noticed that under Related Works there was of course God and God, but interestingly enough there was also a listing for something simply titled Dragon Ball. Now I don't know how old this listing is and I'm not sure if it actually is anything but I thought it'd be worth mentioning:

[Chuquita]

I'm not one to get ahead of myself, especially when I haven't actually watched BOG yet (despite everything I read about its plot sounds awesome) but knowing what I know about the first movie, would I like them to eventually do another one? If it's in a similar, fun-loving vein as BOG is, then yes.

I think a series would be better than another movie, with that many universes being mentioned another 200+ episode series would be very much welcomed by me

BRING ON DRAGON BALL UNIVERSE

[UpFromTheSkies]

You know what would be interesting for the next story? Maybe the other Gods of Destruction have scouts that seek out planets for destruction and one of them shows up at Earth (the GoD he works for sent him to Earth's universe because he thinks Bills has gotten soft and can't do his job), and everyone mistakes him for an actual God of Destruction. A huge battle ensues with the Z warriors barely winning, at which point it is revealed that he is just a scout, and the real God of Destruction is on his way, and he's not going to be happy with the way his servant has been treated. And then maybe Bills shows up and fights along side Goku against the other God of Destruction, because if anyone is going to destroy the Earth, it's going to be Bills. Earth is in Bills universe, after all, and only he has a right to destroy it.

What do you guys think of that?

I'm going to say prequels over sequels here. I'm more for exploration of prequels and would love to see the previous generation of Super Saiyans - Maybe get in a few flashback scenes of "real" Super Saiyans creating havoc on planets, the evolution of the Saiyans and why they're able to recieve Zenkais - Also throw in some clips of Saiyan mercenary with the whole Bardock and crew. Showings of the actual culture of the Saiyans and why there are lower and higher classes within the race. King Vegeta and hsi rise to kingship, gow Freeza became the overlord of the universe and how he recruited millions of differenct races into his organisation, how and why the Kais came about millions of years prior to Z. The history of Bills and his duty as the God of Destruction. There is still too much unanswered information for what we already have that I feel can be explored in more depth than building on unfinished craft.

That would be interesting, but I can't see them devoting more than a short OVA or an episode of the series to something like that, as it would leave out Goku. Maybe they will include more back story of Bills and the other Gods as a bonus feature in the Blu-Ray/DVD. I can picture Goku showing up at Kaio-sama's planet wanting to know more about Bills history, at which point the story begins, occasionally interrupted by Goku asking questions.

[UpFromTheSkies]

I have another idea...maybe this other God of Destruction was Bills childhood rival, and they were both trained by Whis as kids.

[UpFromTheSkies]

These ideas I'm having are so good, I'm surprising myself haha

[ドラゴ]

Lol send in an application form for an internship at TOEI studios bro. Some good plots, plus they're all family-friendly. I think I'm too irregular and profound when in continuity to the whole DB storylines, not that it's a bad thing.

Haha, that would be a dream job, but I have no idea how I'd even go about applying at TOEI, and I doubt my application would be noticed by them. I don't even speak Japanese.

[saiyanprincess]

A series would be most welcomed! It's been too long and the potential for an amazing plot. However I'm not holding my breath.
