Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

Then Birusu makes him say "I give up".

And Goku does? I mean I understood that he lost, but I'm really curious to see how he handels that defeat. I remember that scene form the Buu Saga when after losing the ability to use SSJ 3 and before Vegeta comes up with his plan, he just slumps and gives up. Was it kinda like that or more dramatic?

I just watched that trailer, with Bills vs everyone, and I'm sorry, but i don`t get it, what was the point of include Z-Warriors, only for them to be one-hit K.O? I don`t know why, but i found it very sad, that Toei keeps trashing everyone, who isn`t Goku.

According to a 2ch thread, the new guide book says that there originally were many fight scenes of other Z warriors in Toriyama's script, but with all of them, the movie would be 120 minutes long, so they cut most of them. The scenes were even included on the storyboard, but they were never animated.

I hope we can see those story boards.

Wait, Super Saiyan God Goku absorbes energy, and lost because of that?

He briefly transforms to SSJG again and absorbs Birusu's gigantic energy ball, and runs out of his power. Then Birusu makes him say "I give up".

So he turns into SSJG again after using the forms power in SSJ. I'm guessing that means using SSJG's power in SSJ is significantly weaker then using the forms power in its original state.

Wait,Goku can now absorb energy now. That's quite a cool ability.
I wanna see those story boards.

I just uploaded the iTunes preview to YouTube. Here's the link.

I don't think an additional 40 or so minutes of characters getting their asses handed to them would have added all that much to the movie.

Well he could absorb the spirit bomb in movie 7 and in GT absorbed Bebi's final attack.

IMO it beats getting their asses handed to them by chop sticks and then nothing else. It would have at least been nice to look at if animated properly , so yeah it would have added to the movie. Also 40 minutes make me think there was more than just a simple beat down. Maybe some minions for them or something?

Was it ever said that's what the extra scenes of them would've been? I don't think it was said that there would've been 40 special minutes of a curbstomping. Maybe they were gonna fight henchmen or footsoldiers or something. Whever.

[ZombieVito]

Lets hope if they do make a sequel, they will use that idea. I would have loved the other Z fighters do something more than just get K.O in one hit.

[FNF]

Well, I think it's fair to say that Gohan did better than Goku. Maybe Toriyama remembered xD

How do you figure? They both got their asses kicked, if anything it seems like Goku did better because he lasted longer in battle.

Gohan did at least lay a hand on Billy with that short-lived full nelson, which is more than Goku ever managed. But even that could be written off as Bruce being distracted by Boo at the moment.

This @Sanity.

Even if you want to write it off as getting him off guard, Goku tried to do the same to Birusu and failed.

Someone on 2ch pointed out that Birusu and Uisu are puns for these:




Hill's is spelled ヒルズ (Hiruzu) in Japanese, so it becomes ビルス (Birusu) if you move the ゛ mark, and whiskas is spelled ウィスカス (Uisukasu/Wisukasu).

So, Goku can still transform into a Super Saiyan God (but not at his own will), and he can absorb ki blasts, which leaves him exhausted instead of restoring/increasing his power. I wonder if Super Saiyan God gives him other kinds of powers...

Dang, another thirty-five? I wonder if the concern was spreading their budget and animators too thinly over such a long run time, rather than concerns the audience wouldn't sit for that long. If the film does well in theaters Toei should try to entice fans with an extended cut. Shin Kami to Kami, or something!

Wait, do you mean Ssj God, with the red hair, or Ssj with Godly powers? Also can Goku willingly ascend to Ssj God or is one of those plot convenient power ups to save the day? Also, sorry about all the questions, what of Vegeta's power up? Why does he power up, is the fact that he has become pure of heart thus making him capable of using his emotions to power up when necessary?

I actually did think of them scenes, but I don't really count stuff Toriyama hasn't worked on.

Why does the trailer for the movie say Bill will destroy the Galaxy, and what is Vegeta eating ?

[TheMightyOzaru]

Why does the trailer for the movie say Bill will destroy the Galaxy, and what is Vegeta eating ?

It says Solar System for starters and what? Are we supposed to believe everything a character says? Some people believe Cell was boasting when he said he could destroy the solar system so the same logic applies here. I don't mind the idea that Birusu can destroy galaxies but nothing implies it.

In the trailer it says that the entire Galaxy will cease to be.

Also why would a trailer lie about a character's ability ? That doesn't make sense.
