I'd mark out like no man's business if Only a Chilling Elelgy played during the movie. It would be just so fitting! :P

By the way, if Freeza really gets a God form, shouldn't he look his weakest, i.e. shouldn't he be his first form?

I am so looking forward to that official website updating. I want to see the model sheets for Gokû and Vegeta, and I want to find out who our Rock Lee cosplayer is. :3

I wonder if the minions will play a bigger role than just reviving Freeza. They're pretty prominent on the poster, so I'm thinking they'll be active throughout the movie, not just show up in the first five minutes and disappear after they make their wish. I hope we get some kind of back story for them, other than just "we want to revive our master because...reasons!" Just watch them turn out to be some kind of wacky comedy duo, complete with their own pose and catchphrase in the manzai tradition :lol:

DragonBoxZTheMovies wrote:I kinda get the feeling that the plot will be straight-forward, like BOG, even though I really don't want it to be. I'm sure Toriyama will throw in some curve-balls and twists, but I'm really scared the movie'll be like:
Remnants of Freeza's army come to Earth. They find out about the Dragon Balls and revive Freeza. Freeza receives a power-up. Everyone fights Freeza and the new characters.

Of course, it is more than likely that this'll be the core of it, but I'm sure there'll be more fluff around the edges. BOG strayed away from the traditional formula just enough to feel different, but I want Freeza to have an actual plan, like he tries to rebuild his army or something. I guess I need to have more faith in Toriyama. He has his own spark that always prevents things from becoming generic. "In Toriyama We Trust." :D

My theory is that they'll tie in elements from Yusuke Watanabe's old BOG script, where Freeza and his men find a way to turn Goku's friends against him. Although it seemed like Toriyama didn't really like those ideas, but I suppose it did conflict with what he had in mind for BOG. Maybe this is his way of apologizing for giving BOG a total overhaul.:
Indeed, I REALLY hope that this isnt just some simplistic revenge-for-losing plotline that they use for the games or Broly... and the whole hype is just on Freeza being back rather than it being bigger than just shock value to the characters. The movie would be really underwelming if all it was, was just them fighting Freeza, he fails, loses and everything is back to normal.

I don't want this to be just a "Broly-Second-Coming" treatment but in fact a legitament OVA that makes this story a set up into furthering a greater calamity that would bring forth more spirals into something bigger like what Bebi did in GT. Like if it was elabourated on more than the damage of Freeza's access to God power, immortality or whatever could be the catalyist. In a wild guess, perhaps Freeza wants to take over Beerus' place as a God, or has so already. Maybe after he becomes a god he learns of the 12 other realms and wants to control them,destroy them or become a universal God so he could be the sole ruler. That would be a pretty big gambit, then the other Gods would go to war with him....

but its more likely to just be an "OMG Freeza iz bahck! Lez stahp hym!"

It looks a lot like the Leaf Village Symbol. I wonder of thats a coincidence. Homage or not, it looks kinda plain as it is. I'd prefer a new Kanji badge to represent "Kami" or what Whis identifies with now.

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.

I'd love it if one of them is Ginyu. Unlikely though.

I think that Shenron can revive people who have died LESS than a year ago. :think:

Misconception and has been addressed many times, that's only ever been stated for large groups of people.

Nope, look closely at the picture, his black underclothes have extra details and seams on it, it appears to be some sort of new hybrid armor.

Dang hopefully he won't get fodderised again, would be nice if freeza wins this time and the other 12 gods get involved for a build up to the new manga serie.

I feel like there's no way in hell AT would ever agree to continue writing/drawing DB. Only if a new author took it on.

No, because that's not his base form. His base form is his last form.

Yep, sorry, my mistake !!
I forgot he changed it for a lighter one in the middle of the arc.

Aren't you influenced by DBM somehow? In DBZ canon Frieza's forms weren't stated to be the restricted versions of the final(or original in DBM).

Yeah, they pretty much are. He says that his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd forms were created to limit the power of his true form.

No because Freeza's original form is his final one. He only made the other ones to conserve power.

Ups, should have read the other posts.

What? In the manga, before Freeza transforms, Freeza clearly states that he transforms only to better control his power, which is too great/wild in his real form. DBM didn't come up with that, its right there in the manga.

Who is that he? And in what dub, in amine or in the manga? I better believe Frieza's forms were products of his mutation and his midged form with horns was the base. Toriyama stated Cold and Freeza were mutants.

He already did it was called db "battle of gods" and he is adding extra continuations wouldn't be surprised if he further adds this as part of the Manga.

Freeza says it himself, right before he goes into his second form. In the manga.
Chapter: 296 (DBZ 102), P1.3-4
Vegeta: “Among aliens, there are sometimes guys who change their appearance as the need arises…For things like camouflage, or to not deplete their energy…”
Freeza: “In my case it’s different…It’s because my power is too excessive, so that even I can’t properly control it…”
He transforms to better control his power, because it's too great in his normal state.
Chapter: 304 (DBZ 110), P10.5-6
Context: after Dende heals him
Vegeta: “Freeza’s battle power…! So he’s finally shown his true form, huh?...Well, I don’t care if Freeza or anyone else comes at me…! I’ve just now become a Super Saiyan…!”
Vegeta calls this "Freeza's true form."
