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

[Kakarot9001]

Do Whis have God Ki as well?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Do Whis have God Ki as well?

Probably yes. Kaio said that Goku couldn't sense Beerus because he was a god, and Goku couldn't sense neither Beerus nor Whis. Plus, it is implied in the manga that Kibito has godly ki as well (he has the same type of energy like Kaioshin, which couldn't be used for Boo's revival according to Dabra), so attendants seem to have godly ki as well. So, it would be safe to assume that Karin & Mr. Popo have godly ki too.

[Bullza]

If King Kai can sense Beerus then he must have Godly Ki too yet Goku could sense him just fine.

At what point can we unlock a second custom character slot?

A quick reminder:

This thread is for news and discussion about the 2013 film, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.

It is not the place for the discussion of in-universe details; that belongs in In-Universe Discussion.

It is also not the place for Dragon Ball Xenoverse. That goes in its own thread in the Video Games section.

Apart from discussion of the upcoming release of the Japanese "Special Edition" (containing the extended version of the film aired in March 2014), as well as any further overseas releases, the thread is really winding down at this point. No need to keep it artificially near the top by filling it with less-than-relevant posts.

[Careless Saiyajin]

I know all of that, this was a technical mistake. I accidentally had the wrong tab open in my browser.(I meant to post that in xenoverse). I hope that's clear now lol.

2 questions

1. Will BoG ever air on Toonami?

2. Did Korea get a DVD release of BoG?

[ZazamPow]

Assuming Toonami keeps going, I'm sure ONE DAY BoG will appear on it.

[Cold Skin]

Sometimes, the Japanese marketing/releases can be very weird.
Supposedly, they would have everything first, but for this extended edition, we are more than one country to have it already available and Japan will get it only in a while.

This is really weird how other countries got it before Japan, I don't think this ever happens, at least with the Dragon Ball franchise (except maybe for a few video games releases).

Well the Kais were all born from the same source, which must be godly in origin or close to it. However I seem to recall that Piccolo could sense South Supreme Kai's ki during the tournament, only that it felt strange to him. And I believe Babidi later said he couldn't use the ki of the kais because it was of a heavenly nature and thus too pure to be used in Buu's revival. Kinda like how it was explained that Kid Buu absorbing the Supreme Kai's had actually diminished his power instead of increasing it.

I don't feel that the Kais are in the same godly category as Beerus and Whis. They're more like middle-management types and their ability to sense the presence of the Gods may stem from the source of their creation. And the fact they've been at this job for tens of millions of years and can detect the goings-on across a cosmic scale (despite their perpetual laziness in actually doing their jobs).

One thing different about the movie I will venture on, which may just be the English Dub, but I call absolute BS on Bulma claiming she's 38. I mean even Oolong is calling her out on her BS. Bulma's not 38 in BoG. She's 46. Which means her mother is at least 62.

Piccolo never specifically said he sensed Kaioshin's ki.

And I believe Babidi later said he couldn't use the ki of the kais because it was of a heavenly nature and thus too pure to be used in Buu's revival. Kinda like how it was explained that Kid Buu absorbing the Supreme Kai's had actually diminished his power instead of increasing it.

That was never claimed either, but it is a popular interpreation as some fans use it to justify Kid Buu being stronger than some other forms of Majin Buu.

So is there anyone, anyone at all who's picking this up in a couple of days' time?

I feel like this release is kinda falling under the radar a bit. What are the odds that it'll have some super neat extras that no one ends up knowing about? Early Amazon reviewers have already bumped it down to two stars, but I'm curious to see how well it sells considering the success of BOG and the anticipation surrounding the next film.

[Chuquita]

Flaunt that fuchsia, Toei.
No negativity intended; I'm genuinely happy they're embracing it. :3

Probably not gonna get this though; I've got the limited edition BOG that came out originally, and then I have Funi's release with the extended edition on it. There'd have to be something really special on this special release.

I hope someone buys a copy though; so we can find out what/if any previously unknown stuff (Yamamuro's original ssjg design sketch? A drawing of what lizard!Beerus would've looked like?) is in there.

[Hugo Boss]

I would like to buy a Portuguese release. I don't own any of Battle of Gods' copies and this special edition looks so beautiful.

[Ajay]

I want it for the original insert song. Do we know whether this in 5.1? I know it was 2.0 on TV and on the US/UK Blu-ray but I'm wondering if they went the extra mile for a domestic release. That would solidify my purchase.

[Mewzard]

I'm curious, is it going to have any sort of dub on it? Japan has, on occasion, added English dubs on releases that came out after a dub was made (at least, I recall hearing that, perhaps for Gundam or something else).

I know that 5 Centimetres per Second Blu ray has the English Dub that is the only instance I can think of.

Another example is Big O, partly because the second season was funded by Cartoon Network.

I know that the Japanese DVD releases (but not the Blu-Rays) of the first three Pokémon movies (Mewtwo Strikes Back, Revelation Lugia and Spell of the Unown) have the English dub on them. (Which oddly enough makes them the only English/Japanese dual audio Pokémon DVDs as the Japanese version has never been released in any English speaking countries.)

Also, the Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu Blu-Ray Boxset has the English dub for all 28 episodes on it.

I have it preordered, but it's in the same order as some items that won't be released until late April, so I have no idea when I'll get my copy. Amazon JP tends to break up my orders into multiple shipments, but I've gotten emails from them suggesting there are availability issues with this release. Maybe I'll get it next week, or maybe I'll get it in six weeks (as is currently estimated).
