Lol, okay, he
did die within the events of the movie, but since time was reversed, technically, it never happened. So in the true timeline, his death count is still 2.
Still want to know Bulma's reaction to before time was reversed, though!

That's including all the transformations and pauses to talk, it's not just one long fight scene. Toriyama's statement certainly rings true, though.
How long does the fight between Piccolo and Shisami last? How about the whole Freeza's soldiers vs the Z warriors.

The whole 1000 warrior fight lasts maybe 10 minutes or so. Piccolo vs Shisami makes up a relatively short portion of that.

And since time was reversed he technically has a win now against a main villain.

Well that's kinda disappointing. What do the Z warriors do while Goku, Vegeta and Freeza fight?

Why ? Goku could teleport to Namek and use their Dbs to bring them back which would probably take less then a minute.

Nice to be reading positive things from a couple who have just seen a screening.
I couldn't resist from watching the new TV spot and it looks bloody fantastic!

Hopefully enough do so it reaches it's 4 billion yen goal.
If it makes more like 5 billion do you think we'll get 1 a year ?
I believe that Toriyama has already quite possibly signed a deal with Toei for a series of movies - to write the Story, draw the characters and screenplay.
I got the feeling, that after BoG, there was definitely more to come, though from what I'm hearing, nothing is hinted towards a further installment this time.
I see no reason why this won't reach at least 3 billion. One a year would be amazing, and I'd be so hyped!.

Aww :') I'm looking forward to seeing that. Thanks for answering! If you could be so kind, what was her reaction after time was reversed and she got to see him again?

As much as I like Freeza, I hope we have a new trio of villains for the next movie, Tagoma, Sorbet and Shisami ended up being fodder this time around.
I'd also like Gohan to step up and play a big role next time too.

Myehhh... That's debatable. He certainly aided in the fight, that's for sure. I'm just looking forward to seeing him get to stand over Frieza. He deserved that moment so much, and more, but the beatdown is all that Toriyama's gonna allow
He DID kill Sorbet, though. So that's something.

I doubt Whis is training Goku&Vegeta for nothing so that can be taken as a hint to something happening behind the scenes.
Whis is the strongest character in the story yet we know little to nothing about him which is something that will hopefully change in the next movie.

But everybody but him still remembers it.
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what." - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (1960)
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” - Nelson Mandela

Have a heart Lol. Seeing your family die alongside your planet is a terrible feeling. She's not Goku.

Seeing Vegeta beat Freeza down to his knees while he stands over him like a king is more then enough for me to be happy and call it a win.

Vegeta and the planet died 2 times now so she should be used to it.
