I don't think this is anything official? but it looks amazing!

Spoiler:

No, it's not official - it seems to be a creation of DA user TriiGuN.

Well it should be! They did a fantastic job on it.

BOG did pretty well at the box office. It's up to Toei if they want to do another movie or not. As long if AT comes back, I'm okay with it. If they don't then get ready for another rehash story.

Ehh...I wouldent mind a movie showing more of Future Trunks's past. Show Goku's fight with Freeza and Cold, the Z Senshi's fights and deaths at the hands of 17 and 18, could make for a good movie or special at least.

They could give Trunks his own special that shows what happens in his timeline. As long if it's not Future Trunks vs. Majin Buu then I will check it out. Majin Buu in Trunks timeline was already done in Shin Budokai and the plot for that game was awful. Besides, the daizenshuu states Buu was never reborn in Trunks timeline.

For a BOG sequel, I'm betting the plot will be another god of destruction from another universe comes to try to destroy everything in U7 and Goku has to team up with Birus in order to stop this new thread. This guy on DA, did his own take on a BOG sequel.

Goku and Birus look good, but the others don't, imo.

But why would another Hakaishin come to a foreign universe? Not only he has his own universe to destroy things, but it makes no sense since this isn't his job.

I personally don't believe we will see any other Hakaishins as villains.

Still waiting for my bluray in the mail...better arrive this week! They said 7 to 14 business days.
Deciding if I should still get that Japanese bluray set.

Birus is likely meant to come back, but not as an enemy. That would imply that he'll face a common threat with the other warriors.

Now the only possible threat to Birus and Goku would likely be other Gods of Destruction, or their trainers (similar to Whis). Granted, I transform his statement a little, but it basically is: "I'm only the 7th God of Destruction in the 7th universe. There are 12 universes. So can you picture how even more powerful the 11 other Gods and their respective masters could be?"

The Gods of Destruction are supposedly the most powerful beings in all universes, aside from their masters. So the only threat to a God of Destruction (like Birus) would be a God of Destruction (or a master) from another universe, his only good reason to seek allies.

Given their job, it's easy to imagine one of the Gods of Destruction, having no real opponent to play with, could become quite fond of destruction as his only distraction. And what would he do once he has destroyed every single thing in his universe? Go rogue, throw out the rules he once accepted and invade another universe, to have more things to destroy and get his kicks.

Another plot - though less likely, I guess - could be a trainer becoming rogue. Given that the trainer is supposedly more powerful than the God of Destruction he trains (and perhaps all of the Gods of Destruction in all universes), a rogue one could be a problem (with the cause being possibly his ego: "if I'm more powerful than the God of Destruction himself, why should I be just an assistant to a God that wakes up every once in a while in decades?").

And it's notoriously hard to find a match for a God of Destruction or his master, so that would be the kind of problem that requires an eventful team-up between Birus, Goku and the other warriors.

Why limit ourselves only to the Hakaishin & their attendants when the other 11 universes could have various aliens, artificial humans, magical beings, Makaio, Makaioshin, or other kinds of gods? There are limitless possibilities now that there are 11 other universes.

They can make more gods inspire by other gods in mythology since Birus design was inspire by Anubis. A god of the undead can be inspire by Hades, god of death can be inspire by Thanatos and god of creation inspire by Prometheus (The greek god, not the movie). Even a god inspire by the Elder Gods from the the Cthulhu mythos would be cool. Mixing H. P. Lovecraft and Dragon Ball would be a interesting mixed up.

[TheGmGoken]

How long until we get a Gods of Gods? If that exist....?

[SaiyaJedi]

Not to nitpick here, but Beerus wasn't actually inspired by Anubis. He's a long-eared cat with an "Ancient Egypt" motif, so he looks rather similar, but he wasn't based on the jackal-headed one.

I assume DB Wikia is responsible for this particular bit of misinformation...?

[Hellspawn28]

I know it was never official stated that he was. His design is very similar, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he was.

[UpFromTheSkies]

That's not necessarily true, there could be other mortals who have ascended to God status like Goku did. I had this idea that every so many thousand years, they might hold a tournament in which the current Gods of Destruction, and maybe other Gods, would have to defend their titles in battle, and Goku and Vegeta would enter it, but no one seemed to like it.

[JeffJarrett]

A tournament involving the Gods would be a great idea to avoid the next movie being a clone of Battle of Gods, and then something would happen ala Fusion Reborn with Janemba!

[Gyt Kaliba]

I don't really get why everyone suddenly thinks that the only possible threat they could come up with now would be another God. I mean...Beers is the FIRST time we've actually had a God that was ridiculously powerful and still relevant. Think of all the times before that where we've had 'gods' come in. Kami-sama was stronger than Goku at first, or at least more skilled, but he was surpassed as soon as the story went into it's next arc. Kaio-sama was, if I recall right, stronger than Raditz but wouldn't have been able to take care of Nappa or Vegeta. Goku trained under him and surpassed him right away. Kaio-shin comes in and while his power isn't exactly clear, he is quickly surpassed by the main characters of the Boo arc.

So why, after all of that, with tons of villains being stronger than the so-called 'Gods' we were familiar with before, would Beers actually being strong and effective mean that the ONLY way to top him is to use another God? My point is, I don't care what the next villain we get is, it could be an alien from another universe, it could even be somebody from Earth somehow - I just want them to be written even half as well as Beers was. That will keep me happy.

[Cold Skin]

Logically, the Gods of Destruction were likely designed (by whoever decided the universes' rules) to be the strongest and have no possible rival in their own universe (aside from their masters, who are not supposed to pose a threat), meaning any warrior from any race in their universe would be naturally outmatched by far so as to not be able to even remotely interfere with their job of destruction.

BUT it is true that Goku himself, though he could not rival Birus' power despite becoming an artificial God, still proved to be quite a challenge that Birus said "could be a problem someday" (who knows if once trained by Whis, he would not be even more powerful that Birus if he had chosen to follow the "God of Destruction training"?). So yeah, I guess it is possible that beings in other universes could potentially have their own ways to become artificial Gods, and maybe ways that are even more efficient than the Saiyans' ritual.

Not only is it possible that this kind of ritual, or other things giving similar (or even better) results exist in other universes, you must also consider that despite the fact that Goku is truly unique in our universe (even going as far as making the dreadful God of Destruction his friend, which amazes the highest Gods themselves), he might not be THAT unique that there's no equivalent/rival to him in other universes. Other universes might have their own "Goku" who seems to always break expected limits.
If in some other universe, there is an equivalent to Goku in terms of fighting genius, and especially an equivalent that has a much more tainted heart, it could be a problem to deal with.

Then again, as some of you guys suggested, the plot for the next movie could also not include a "really bad guy" once again and just be some kind of reunion/tournament between the universes. Aside from Birus and Whis, Goku and his friends are the strongest in the universe, but there has to be a similar team of "strongest warriors in the universe aside from the God of Destruction" in all other universes, that went through a lot and saved their worlds/universes countless times (or conquered it all if they were evil), growning stronger and stronger.

Right now, the only way I see Birus come back and team up with the allies, regardless of what the new plot is, would be either some kind of competition between universes, or someone trespassing the set of rules of the universes (hence the idea of someone who would come to Universe 7 to do something he is not allowed to, like acting out of the role that was decided for him, or perhaps even the simple fact of trespassing into another universe is breaking the rules in itself). But it could also be just a warrior that's so strong that both Goku and Birus are interested in fighting him.
But we'll see, there's always room for surprise with Dragon Ball. It could be a whole new story altogether, with Birus and Whis making only a minor appearance.

[VegettoEX]

Totally mutant/bizarre/corrupt Makaiōshin.

Takes care of everything I want and gives a reason to have a new strong opponent.

Boom, done.

[JulieYBM]

Revealing Whis as being a Makaioushin that is suppressing his evil heart may be a good storyline for another movie. A Makaioushin who came to love life training and aiding a Destruction God like the fickle Beers would be quite poetic.

EDIT: Fixed typo of 'my' to 'may'.

Ain't this what most people say anyways?? Btw what you mean by "I want"

[Gonstead]

Tori....bot....

You can't get much higher than that for a "God".
