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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

ImageImage


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... :think:
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.

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! :lol:

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. :P

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.
