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

See I'm the opposite, I hope that they replace GT with something that Toriyama plays a huge part in creating.

Dragon Ball Online is set after the manga, completely ignores GT (and anything from the anime in general), and Toriyama is heavily involved (then again, it's an MMO video game).

I hate it when someone says GT is a side story and that it has nothing to do with the main story. No, just because of a few plotholes it shouldn't be classified as a side story. GT is still a part of main timeline. Call it in another universe if you want to. Just don't call it side story.

So you hate Toriyama, since he himself is the one who called it a side story? . It's fact, GT is a side story.

Don't misunderstand it. I didn't say I hate him, I said I don't like the word 'side story'. So, with that said, yes, I'm completely disregarding Toriyama's words. GT is part of the timeline, period. End of story.

You don't really get to decide when everyone else's conversation is over, though.

A timeline. There are things that don't fit with it, and there are things that it doesn't fit with. There's no official word on the matter, and the closest thing to an official word on the matter called it a side-story (meaning it's not integral to the main story). Nobody's saying you can't enjoy it or incorporate it into your personal canon. No need to get worked up over it or anything.

I don't count DBO, I probably should have said really. Did he really create anything in DBO himself besides some character designs? I thought he just supervised. Also with it being an MMO I don't know what to make of it, now if Toriyama decides to continue with BoG and brings DBO into it I wouldn't be fussed.

[fogdark]

The way I see it, we may agree with some decisions or not, but at the end of the day, this is Toriyama's story, and he can and should tell it however he wants to. Hollywood didn't listen to any of his inputs and we got Evolution, so...
Toei decided to make a movie that was more or less a faithful continuation of the manga, so they asked Toriyama to get involved. He did, and he created a story the same way he would've done it, had he written this fight in the manga.
So the only thing we can do is simply not buy, or not support the movie if we don't like what we're getting. It's that simple.

Personally I enjoy quite a bit the Super Saiyajin God. It almost feels like a throwback when Goku reached the same conclusion as Vegeta and told Gohan about having more power by increasing the muscle mass decreases the speed. I believe Goku actually got a bit too muscular, especially in SSj3. I like that he actually lost some muscle mass, and that the trasnformation wasn't another variation of Super Saiyajin, because the God form actually has nothing to do with it.

He is both supervising & contributing in the story & character designs.

I apologize, I didn't realize I was talking with Dragon Ball's official spokesperson/author/decision maker.

Rule #5: No Bootlegging
We do not condone bootlegging. When it comes down to it, Dragon Ball has had a very rough journey in various countries, but we are finally at the point where we can legally purchase many of the things we want and support our fandom. We recognize that there is a fine line with regard to things such as “unreleased” and comparatively-ancient material, so just be wary and respectful of that line. Discussions about actively-pirating material is not only frowned upon by the entire community, but will potentially result in strikes against your account and removal from the rest of the discussion.

Kid, flee before you feel the wrath of VegettoEX...

Well then if BoG fits DBO in with it I'll accept it. To me it's just a Toriyama approved game for now.
Oh yeah, I remember seeing this sometime ago, but I'm unsure if it's authentic.

Hey all you Korean DragonBall fans, it’s been a long time. It’s me, Akira Toriyama.
This new DragonBall story that we're delivering to you this time begins in a world 250 years after the manga.
There, Earthlings, Saiyans, Namekians, Majins, and others all live together, but it seems that something is wrong.
What occurred in those 250 years, and what’s happening now? Please enjoy this new DragonBall world as you resolve this.
Everyone on the excellent staff really drew a lot of new characters and machines for me. Of course, I supervise them all. There are also a lot of designs in there that I drew myself.
When I actually got to see the pictures in motion, I was truly impressed by their high quality!
It’ll make me happy if you fully enjoy this new world of adventure, this time online!

-Akira Toriyama

Oh man my bad. I thought i was doing a service to all of the people who have not seen any of the film. And I would imagine anyone that is big enough of a DBZ fan to have an account on Kanzenshuu would buy the movie when it came out anyway. But all in all my apologies, I guess I should read rules lol

[Marco Polo]

I wish there were direct allusions to DB Online in BoG, like Krillin or Tenshinhan mentioning that they might like to found their own fighting schools one day or something... That's my favourite part of DB Online. Then again, strictly speaking Gohan has to write his book on ki science before Krillin and Tenshinhan get their ideas.

So far, the only problem could be the final fight between Goku & Vegeta, unless Vegeta became Super Saiyan God at some point, or Goku can choose to use his godly powers in base form (and then go from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan God), or he can choose to not use them (and then go from Super Saiyan to Super Saiyan 2, to Super Saiyan 3).

[B]

Sometimes you should not listen to an author. Something likes this ruined SSJ God because of Toriyama. SSJ God looks like it's something to sneeze at.

That is the point. There are bajillion things in Dragon Ball where the outward appearance directly contradicts reality. Tiny Goku destroying opponents, wise sage Kame Sennin being a pervert, handsome bandit Yamcha unable to talk to women... And that is just the beginning of the series.

And hooray for the money being made.

He just disagrees with Toriyama. Never said he hates the man himself. And in his defense, Toriyama isn't very specific. Who knows why he called it a side-story of all things. In fact, he shouldn't call it anything, given he barely did anything with it.

Hopefully when the Buu saga portion of the manga is recolored we will get a clear idea of whether or not he was a Ssj2.

How? The Super Saiyan & Super Saiyan 2 have exactly the same colors.

I'm hoping they'll redo that portion's art to have the Ssj2 aura and sparks around Gohan if he is meant to be a Ssj2. I'll only accept Gohan as a Ssj2 there if it's redone to look like it or Toriyama says so. I think it's ultimately absurd to suggest Gohan was a Ssj2 because there are a multitude of differences presented in the manga between a Ssj and a Ssj2. If we were going by the anime, I could buy Gohan being a Ssj2 because the only differentiation between the two forms in the anime is the lightning and since Toei stopped animating lightning, it's almost impossible to tell unless it's Goku.

I doubt it, since so far, they haven't corrected any errors (as far as I know). They only add colors.
