Probably nothing. One of the Kai endings has a still picture of young/child goku in it, so...
Yeah, the ending might show some of Goku's past outings.

Probably that the ending would go over Goku's life up to now?

Interesting. I'm sure it's just a compilation ED again like the third ED from Buu Saga Kai.

Also Kei, since you pointed out the hidden image, I'm now seeing a purple armadillo/dinosaur/thing with a horn on its snout, a red tounge and big blue eyes just above the last Black line on the bottom left of the image :lol:

I sincerely doubt they're gonna ape off of GT's ideas.
ED image is probably a Gokû bio recap, but with actual movement this time (unlike most Kai ED's)

I'm not even sure it is there.
My brain is just giving me weird images, it might be japanese script or something. Sorry I can't describe it better than I did, and I really wish I had the enhancement tools, Horatio and co. do.

Plenty of people wish that, but that would require magic to exist. Our world is too boring for that shit.

I would totally love it if the End Credits had Magna panels like BoG, and maybe "F", not sure what the end credits were for that.

The end credits for F, from what I'm told and have seen briefly in a clip I think, is just scenes from the movie itself, disappointingly enough.

"ED" refers to an "ending" while "OP" refers to an "opening".

Duh! I thought it was something else. >_<U

It does look like a montage of Goku's life.

I like how everyone is terrified at the prospect of another Kid Goku return lol.

While I have enough faith in Toriyama and Toei not to pull that again, I can say that the prospect of it, as someone who felt enormously cheated at the loss of adult Gokû in GT, is a legit fear. GT Gokû wasn't even DB kid Gokû, we didn't even have that to fall back on, it was awful. No GT reminders thanks. @_@

The Ending is simply going to recap the comic. It's over-the-top mental gymnastics to think Gokuu will actually become a kid based on no evidence whatsoever.

Haha, it took me a minute to work out what people were even talking about by 'seeing Kid Goku'. Didn't expect it to be so faint.

Oh that is incredibly disappointing, they could have least shown stuff from the Freeza arc seems a bit of a (albeit minor) missed opportunity, :|

Never even thought about it before, but you're right - if they weren't going to do anything as cool as what they did for Battle of Gods' ending credits, then that would have been a cool thing for them to do for the end credits. Or heck, depending on how they wanted to go about it (if they wanted to show only the bits that Freeza himself was involved in, not like Ginyu Force stuff other than perhaps their landing and his reaction or the like), they could have shown him destroying Planet Vegeta, then cut to his material on Namek, then to his short-lived return on Earth, and then finally endcap it with some stuff from the new movie if they felt compelled to. Make the credits a fitting farewell to the villain rather than just 'here's some scenes from the movie you just watched'.

Though I guess a majority of the other old films weren't particularly creative with their endings either...there were a few that stood out though.
