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

フェスタ comes from the Italian word "festa" (which ultimately comes from the same Latin root as "fiesta" and "festival").

"fiesta" is also a Spanish word. I guess you know this, but just said as you mentioned Italian only.

According to Shonen Jump, the next issue of V-Jump is going to reveal some info about the movie.

Wait, when will the next V-Jump come out?

[Avenged]

Later next month sometime, I'm not quite sure when exactly.

[Hellspawn28]

I think November seems right since they should start marketing the movie soon.

[NeoKING]

Fina-fucking-lly.

[Insertclevername]

This'll be cool, just hoping there will be a way for me to see relatively soon after it's release, perhaps only a few months?


I wonder who the new villain is? Also, I can't wait just to watch Gokuu, Gohan, etc just go through a normal day in the beginning. Small moments of peace are always welcomed in my opinion.

Got part of it translated:

- "In excluded! We want it all! Son Goku card designed by Akira Toriyama!
- We were expecting! A preview of the movie based on the series! Big explosion of new information!
- More information on Dragon Ball! Ultra expected.

[Chuquita]

YES to finally (hopefully) learning what this movie is actually about.
The wait, it is so long. T_T A little over four months. Really?
I wish they had made the initial announcements in September instead of July.

Also, I've got to give a nod to Shueisha for not only being able to keep this stuff under wraps for as long as they have, but to in this digital age make it so that you have to buy a physical magazine (V Jump doesn't have a digital counterpart yet, right?) to find out about the movie. That is weirdly impressive of them. Though I guess they have a monopoly on the information so they can turn it out through any medium they choose.

[dbboxkaifan]

Wasn't it reported that sharing/uploading copyrighted material in Japan could have serious consequences?

[Chuquita]

11/21/12 is possibly the street date for next month's VJump issue if I'm reading this page correctly.

My better judgement says I shouldn't be posting an image this big, but judging by my last link-post it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing so unlike last time where I just dropped the link, this time I'm posting the image too.

If it's too big, I have no problem removing the image tags and dropping it back to a link.

V-Jump is released on the 21st of every month. The date never changes.

[Chuquita]

I did not know that; I don't follow VJump as much as I follow Weekly Shonen Jump.
Interesting that it's the same number day every month, unlike Jump where it's (almost) always on a Monday no matter what number.

Interesting that it's the same number day every month, unlike Jump where it's (almost) always on a Monday no matter what number.

That tends to happen, what with WSJ being weekly instead of V-Jump's monthly schedule.

More like:

--Unprecedented!! A must-have!! A bonus “Son Goku” card using an illustration from Akira Toriyama-sensei!!
--Sorry to keep you waiting! Bursting with dramatic new info on the newest movie!!
--There’s even more “DB” news!! It’s super-anticipated

OK, that's still really awkwardly phrased, but basically the issue will include a card "using" illustration(s) from Toriyama. There's nothing about him designing the card, and the illustration(s) in question might not even be anything new, just re-used old stuff. The caption says this card commemorates 2 years and over 100 million cards sold (of DB Heroes?). And the issue will have "dramatic" info on the new movie, whatever that means. And aside from that there's really nothing of interest in the image.

[medama_oyaji]

That V-Jump dragon certainly looks like he was drawn by Toriyama! Dunno if he's been around for a long time, I don't keep up with V-Jump...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to finally seeing more promotion for the new movie! Maybe we'll even get a title

[Hellspawn28]

The new info is either going to be awesome or a big let down. I'm keeping it low at the moment to avoid my self from being let down.

[soulnova]

There’s even more “DB” news!! It’s super-anticipated

Yep, that's the only way to describe it.

[Hellspawn28]

Don't get too hype up yet, it's always good to have low expectations. We still don't know that much on the movie yet.

[Kendamu]

Don't get too hype up yet, it's always good to have low expectations. We still don't know that much on the movie yet.

To everyone with this sentiment: You can have high expectations while not taking things way too seriously. I think that we're in for something really awesome. If it turns out to not be awesome, though, it's not the end of the world.

It's just a movie.

[dbboxkaifan]

I think that we're in for something really awesome.

Eh, same was said for Dragon Ball Kai and look what it turned out to be.

I have low expectations too. DB is somewhat the CoD of anime, with every hyped new release there's a disappointment.
