I couldn't resist. No one uses the term "whiz" anymore. Its defunct; like "gee whilicker" or "golly".

Convienience. They can set up a half dozen things in about 15 minutes with the school. Where as starting in the mountains would take about 40 minutes. I worked up a quick plot time-line thing just for kicks earlier, to see how the start of the movie could flow. The school situations opens up many options for establishing important things for the story. The eclipse we've heard about, Goku's strength, Goku's naive and rather clueless nature (seriously, think about it. How much more 'fish out of water' can you get for Goku than dropping him into a highschool? (while still keeping it in the realm of believability, hence not being in a college, he'd never get that far (I'm not even sure he'd manage to graduate highschool XD (Man, I've really stretched out this sentence with the parentheses)))) and so on.Why make him a High School student?
The reason they have set him up in high school is to have him appeal to a high school crowd nothing more.Xyex wrote:Convienience. They can set up a half dozen things in about 15 minutes with the school.
How in the world would it take 40 minutes to set all of those things up? All of that (with the exception of the eclipse) is taken care of in less than 15 pages of the manga.Xyex wrote:Where as starting in the mountains would take about 40 minutes.
Sure, this material could be established in the mountains as well, but it would take a little longer. First you'd need to establish Goku's solitude up there, then introduce Bulma and hint at his strenght, establish Goku's naviety and cluelessness, fully display Goku's strength, and then get them on their way to a more populated area while somehow working in information on the eclipse. Then, once they're around a larger crowd you could expand on Goku's nature and show he's not just somewhat out of touch with the world but completely.

You seem pretty sure about that. So they came up with the whole High School angle to make him/the movie more appealing to High School students even though (and this next bit is just speculation) the High School part was filmed in about 10 days which at the very maximum adds up to 25 minutes of movie time. That's the ONLY reason they threw this in the story. It couldn't be at least ONE other legit reason they did this. You thought of every possibility and that is the only explanation. Well I guess I'm just gonna take your word for it !mrkaizoku said: The reason they have set him up in high school is to have him appeal to a high school crowd nothing more.
Um, he never said "The ONLY reason".Chrono Trigger wrote:That's the ONLY reason they threw this in the story. It couldn't be at least ONE other legit reason they did this.

Do they have to keep saying High School student? I'm gonna take a Whiz on the entire DBLA franchise.Sounds great to Goku, who thought he was a normal high school student until he found out he's actually a martial-arts warrior on a quest to save the world.

That part at least might still be true of this movie.Chrono Trigger wrote:...Yamcha should have a cat name Puar...
