Of the characters who appear in "Battle Of Gods," Bulma, Oolong, No. 18, Dende, Pu-erh, Chaozu, and Bulma's parents were recast. Of course, we have no idea who they'll use for grown-up Dende, grown-up Gohan (although Kyle Hebert already semi-confirmed that he's in Kai), Goten, Trunks, Videl, Majin Buu, the Pilaf Gang, and the Kaioshin.

I don't think I got any of that wrong, but I very well could have.

I believe it was just her father. Her mother is still played by Cynthia Cranz (Chi-Chi), if I'm not mistaken.

The poster looks incredibly fake. The title alone has a lot of compressed artifacts, as if it were either unscaled from a smaller version or by decreasing the file size in photoshop.

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!"

It's good that Funi is using their own voice cast. At least people can finally shut up about the movie using possible hollywood actors or using the DBE actors. Some people were worry about that even though it would make no sense.

That was actually the first thing that caught my eye. I'm calling bull on this. It just wouldn't make sense for them to go back to the old cast at this point. I much prefer Monica Rial to Vollmer, but wouldn't mind seeing Brad Jackson and Meredith McCoy return. I actually preferred their voices to Massey and Clinkenbeard. I just don't think FUNi would bother going through the trouble of getting some of these actors back when they already have the Kai cast right there and waiting. However, as far as I know McCoy still works with FUNi. She was in the FMA:B dub at least and that was recorded around the same time as Kai. No idea what Jackson is doing now.

I do believe they all turn into Super Saiyans to perform the God transformation ritual.

I don't think Goten or Trunks transformed outside of that scene either, though we never hear people poking fun at the poster for that, oddly.

Ok I rewatched the ritual, ma bad. You're right, he does go SSj.

The five second Saiyan circle jerk of power had him in Super Saiyan form.

If fans got upset at the film being mostly a comedy, they're going to get upset that their beloved character 'is barely a Super Saiyan like on the cover'.

Ahhh, I see.

I was only laughing at the poster because It sorta implies that a bloodlust Gohan would use ssj... Which... I find funny. The fact that I didn't remember a single moment when he was ssj1 was just the kicker.

Forgive for saying but does it really matter if the old Z cast is re-cast?
I don't remember 18 having a line. And Bulma had about 5 or 6 maybe more, Oolong also had just a few lines too. It's really not going to detract from the film. Besides I didn't like Monica in Kai anyway (too screechy).

Depends if Funimation got the extended edition. Plus isnt 18..well, 18? Her old actress made her sound like she was in her 30's. I could see her old actress working in GT, but then again Colleen Clinkenbeard can do older sounding roles just fine. She's a powerhouse and so is Monica Rial. Yeah she gets a lot of squeaky roles but listen to this. THIS is Monica Rial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrnqmT3_ckI

I don't believe there is any official source on 18's age. I kind of figured she and 17 were in their early 20s prior to becoming cyborgs.

So are we getting the extended cut or the regular theatrical length?

Most likely the theatrical cut. Which reminds me... why on earth isn't Toei releasing these extended cuts on home video? I mean, wouldn't that logically earn them more money than simply keeping it as a one-time TV-airing thing?

Aw man, I was really hoping Funi's delay had something to do with them getting the extended edition. Maybe they've done both?
As in, this is the theatrical version, and then they'll release the extended one on Home Video later.

He was intended to be SSJ the entire movie until the outcry had Toei edit the leaked screencap but apparently they didnt edit it for the Circle scene.

Vollner has the more throaty but more bouncier sound in her voice, where as Rial has that nasaly, nagging tone.
Zephyr wrote:The fandom's collective fetishizing of "moments" is also ridiculous to me. No, not everyone needs a fucking "shine" moment. If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

You've put my name to someone else's post but I'll respond anyway.

I'm aware of the outcry but the circle scene being left alone isn't likely to be a mistake. It seems more like artistic license to have all the 'true' Saiyans with yellow hair with the focus drawn to Videl's importance as the only one with black hair. Makes for a nicer composition.
