Eh, the artwork in PTETSS was pretty good but the actual animation was piss poor. The definition of low budget.

Agreed. In addition, I don't like how beams are emitted from palms. It's my understanding that beams in DB are extended ki auras surrounding hands or entire bodies except for some cases like Zarbon's.

I wonder if maybe the 'most devastating wish in all history' could be referring to a wish made long long ago, before DB? Food for thought...

Related to the climatic cataclysm of Namek, perhaps...

What if the wish was restore Kakarot's persona?

Maybe, but it wouldn't generate so much despair even if Goku in time surpassed Beerus and Whis because of his Godly powers, just because Goku is somehow a child of gentle parents, like we see it in the Dragon Ball Minus.

That wouldn't be enough to call it the worst wish cause Vegeta will be able to stop him before he could cause any kind of despair

Even if Goku went all Tullece on everyone, he's still beatable by Beerus and one shot material to Whis.

Just that Beerus/Whis are not necessarily awake/willing to interfere.

I agree! But the point is that I do not think Goku would turn evil after all. And Beerus said Goku can surpass him/equal him one day.

That's his point. We don't know if Beerus is gonna be awake, or if Whis would be willing to beat Goku. As gods, they would only interfere if Goku (or any villain) had the power to destroy the universe, like Boo.
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.

The only way i can see one of them interfering is if there is no one left alive to fight Goku which i dout will get to that if we get this kind of story

I think a commom enemy will show up. Maybe Beerus and Whis will also take part beside Goku and maybe Vegeta. We have a Godly dimensional battle, war... after all.

I know this is a really out field "revive" theory, but zombies? Or is that too close to the Garlic filler? It'd create despair alright, and they're hard to beat for reasons other than strength. I dunno. Just throwing it out there, not overly serious with this theory.

Re: Kakarrotto

Before Minus I would've said sure, but now I'm uncertain about it as what little we saw of him didn't seem particularly evil or threatening. He looked frightened at being sent away in that ship, and we don't know what caused him to battle Gohan Sr. He's a different character from Gokû, but in terms of personality it's hard to tell how much due to how little he's present. He doesn't even have any dialogue.

I don't think it's possible to bring back to life a lost personality, though. It's not like it's a character who was killed, so I imagine if Shenlong was asked to bring back Kakarrot, he would say "Son Gokuu, who is also known as Kakarrot, is still alive."

I can bet, that the worst wish won't be anything with SSJ God revival, Son Goku going evil or restoring some of the Z villain.

My bet is on wish, that will greatly shake the mechanisms on which the known universe is working.
Something, that will sound harmless when wishing for it, but won't result in anything nice.
As it will be about reviving someone, it may be someone who died or vanished aeons ago, who probably won't adapt to the world as it is now in DB.
Or someone who can meddle with how the universe works.

Let's see, I hope we will get some more solid info before Christmas!

If we use the timeline for BoG promotional release information, we should expect some concrete information (such as a title and poster) around November time, I'm hoping we see some sooner though.

I definitely expect something by mid-December, if only because of Toei and Jump's end of the year events.
November would be nice though.
Earlier than November would be amazing, but my hopes aren't too high that news will break that quickly.

The way they depicted the beams since that special seemed to have carried over in the most recent animation as well and is shared by the aura. I really don't like the wispy look or the weird particle effects they've added to them.
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.
