What does it say under "Super Saiyan"? I can make out "grow up".

"He is the alien who grew up on earth"

I think.

I automatically like any piece of merchandise that uses the Saiya-jin royal crest.

They told you it was the Saiyan Symbol and did that?! That's just dirty

LOL no, I don't have this bottle in my possession. But I thought it was weird that they went with this design instead of the Royal Crest. :D

Imagine if they had put the "BAD MAN" logo there instead. XD

That is kind of random to use his armor instead of the royal crest though.

Forgive my faulty knowledge if I'm wrong because it's been awhile, but isn't the royal crest anime only? Maybe everyone forgot (typical lol)

I feel like it's anime-only. They used it on the wallet though...it probably is a case of it being forgotten by somebody.

Just wondering, how well is Battle of Gods doing compared to other series-based Anime movies? Is it doing particularly well for a movie of its type? I'd assume so, since it appears to be out-doing a lot of films that have been released this year but I'm wondering if something like Pokemon (http://www.cinematoday.jp/movie/T0016946) would have no trouble in beating it.

EDIT: Oh dear, someone has listed the movie as the 20th 'Highest Grossing Anime Film' on Wikipedia with it having supposedly grossed $46,467,600. That's not exactly accurate right now, but I'm sure it'll finish up around there once its run is over in Japan. Then we have to factor in international screenings and from there, I'm sure Toei will know that they've put together a winner for themselves

Wandering around Amazon.co.jp looking for fun BOG merch. And while I didn't find anything to buy, I did see some neat stuff:

EDIT: This is actually half a day later, but I'd feel weird posting after my own post so I'll just incorporate it into this one.
WSJ continues to advertise BOG on the cover, this is issue #21: http://www.imagebam.com/image/0f3531249465967
There's also some pages in the TOC about it: http://www.imagebam.com/image/0686b6249465983

Also, this month's VJump has some BOG stuff: http://vjump.shueisha.co.jp/newinfo/index.html#info01

It's "anime-only" but it also appears in BoG.

So, if there is a sequel, would you want the non-Saiyans/Piccolo to have a larger appearance, which obviously includes fighting at least.

maybe even some human transformation?

No. If the humans can hold their own, than the enemy is not that impressive.

They could easily fix that by giving them some minions that, while strong, are only about the level of our side-heroes. Which is something I'm hoping to see eventually.

If there's a sequel I want Bra and Pan playing around, with Marron babysitting trying to keep up with super powered toddlers. :mrgreen:
