For anyone who watched the movie, does the Super Saiyan God have some kind of special attack or special power ? or it's just a typical SSJ ?

You can read for yourself in our detailed synopsis of the movie!

In short, no.

So Goku only deflected the attack, not absorb it as was said earlier?

One of the BoG clips on my YT channel has been blocked by Fox though it's set as private. It seems that they added the entire BoG footage to YT's detection tool.

The movie has now made $26.5 million. It made $2.9 million in the past week. In Yen it's made 2.64 billion.

It should pass 3 billion yen on it's final weekend which is golden week where films usually see a big boost from the previous week.

Same here, my video of the battle between SSj3 Goku VS Beers was "blocked worldwide". Well, I can say that the video managed to stay available for far longer than I thought it would. I deleted it, just in case...
Yes, Goku visited me once. He turned to me while I was still speechless, and said, "You've drank too much"...

Maybe this means increased chances for international releases? I mean, if they're actually bothering to hunt this stuff down now...(though I thought the fact that the movie in its entirety never got leaked said something about the level of security already.).
On hiatus.

I hope they do international screenings for it. I'd probably go see it more than once.

Norihito Sumitomo : ''At last, it’s the opening of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. The content has plenty to enjoy for children of course, but even adults, as well. It is truly a global-scale work, which (is/will be) shown in 40-plus countries around the world. By all means, please get yourselves out to the theater. You definitely won’t regret it. Please [check out] the soundtrack, too!''

Yeah, he refers to Dragon Ball Z's audience in general. The series was shown in 40-plus countries around the world.

That's certainly a valid analysis of it. Thing is, like we mentioned in our news post, he very specifically does not use a present-tense explanation (or past-tense, for that matter), and the word for "showing" is the one specifically used to describe theatrical film showings -- pretty sure DBZ films have not been screened in 40 countries.

That's all hyper-insane analysis of the phrasing which probably shouldn't be read into that much, but eh. That's what we do!

I'd find it hilarious if they started screening the older Dragon Ball films internationally and never released Battle of Gods outside Japan.

Of course, that would make a heap of sense. :roll:

Does this mean Americans might never see it, not even online?

Does what mean that...?

You'll always be able to import the Japanese Blu-ray/DVD once it comes out.

I'm sure It will make it's way online eventually. Torrent sites, Streaming sites, Youtube! haha I'm not saying ''GO AND TORRENT IT THOUGH!'' :P

This is off the current topic that you guys are talking about but (except you guys and some friends and DBZ-fanartists) most americans and europeans I know or I've seen appear on youtube, facebook, twitter, etc, all still think Vegeta goes SSJ3 and Goku's SSJG is a golden SSJ4. And I've seen some people actually be serious and make topics on a "new series of DBZ".. I'm not sure whether to find this extremely hilarious or worrying.
