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

I much prefer Mystic over Ultimate and I'll keep using it.

Mystic is a fan term. It was used by fans before the form was officially named. Ultimate is more official.

About the purple cat's voice, I also think he'll have Supreme Kai's voice, or something similar.

FUNimation actually labeled him as Mystic Gohan in their Season 9 booklet.

I don't really care that it was originally a fan term.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Wasn't Ultimate first coined in the video games anyway? That does add a little more credence to it, yes, but...eh. *shrugs* I know what someone means when they say either term, so it's not a big deal to me.

[Herms]

Yeah, I believe it was the Sparking!/BT series that first used it.

At this point, perhaps we should start a seperate "What's The Deal With Gohan's Blond Hair?" thread.

Consider it done.

Upcoming Weekly Jump TOC with a page 20 listing that reads "Movie [Dragon Ball Z God and God Battle of Gods] There's news.".

I sure hope there's news.
Please, please be news that isn't something that's already been revealed.

Knowing Shueisha's secrecy I feel like the odds are stacked against them telling us anything new, but I can still hope.

I see the poster been through a few touch-ups. Looks very nice now.

Must admit that the new character art looks a little sloppy, but I guess it's just a promo image (I see Sauzer stopped cutting his hair. ).

*Patiently awaits translations...

It's times like this that make me glad to be a member of Kanzenshuu. Definitely the place to be at a time like this, particularly with the number of Japanese speaking members that we have.

EDIT: Tracked down one of the original Tweets and here's what Google Translate has to say:

The cat is named "The God of Destruction: Bills". It will be doubled Koichi Yamadera

And the Twitter account in question:

Leaked scans! *_*
And oh my the possible-makaioshin is a bit more manly in the face than I thought, and is blue like Towa and Miira, not pink. O_O

*Whips out her kanji/kana dictionary to translate because she's impatient/excited*.
I'm not gonna try to translate the entire thing because I'm not fast enough yet (also it's 3 in the morning where I am and I should've been asleep hours ago) and I know there's others way more experienced than I am, but I'll tackle the names' katakana/hiragana.

Not!Towa's name is Uisu and Cat-Guy is Birusu. (Bruce? lol.)

The text below them says "characters" preceded by some kanji so I guess that might be "movie-exclusive designed characters" or something to that effect?

*Awaits Julian/Kei/Herms*.

Kouichi Yamadera and Masakazu Morita are voice actors; I guess they're voicing these two? Looks like Yamadera was Spike from Cowboy Bebop. Neat! And Morita was Table from the 2008 special (and Ichigo from Bleach).

Also! Pilaf Gang is missing/covered up by text from this version of the poster. Interesting.

[NeoKING]

The leaked poster is different from the original. BUT, Gohan's hair is the same.

[Gyt Kaliba]

While it's great to finally have the poster completely confirmed (though how in the heck it could have been fake once we knew the title was right...I'd have to give that guy a pat on the back to have pulled that one off), yeeesssshhh at the look of the cat guy on the page that's not the poster. There's something not looking quite right there. I notice his hand's are a little more gnarly looking, and he has an earring of sorts though.

Guess the predictions of that person in the background being a girl were wrong, that looks a lot more like a guy to me anyway (albeit a feminine one). Hmm...I like the design though. It kind of has a Katsura/Toriyama collab vibe, that guy would look right at home in the Jiya/Sachie-chan Go! world.

So the cat guy's name is likely either Bill or Bruce? That's gonna be a lot of fun Engrish. And woot for them getting Yamadera, he's a great actor from what little I've heard of him. He's the new Zenigata in Lupin the 3rd media as well.

This is awesome, I can't wait till someone translates the rest of the info on these pages.

[SSj_Rambo]

I still can't say if I think this new character is male or female. Kinda leaning toward female but then again what was Salza? Looks like the same family perhaps!

[Saiga]

Tall hair is definitely looking more Kaioshin-esque than from the poster. And more masculine.

But Kaioshin aren't supposed to have sexes anyway, I don't think. Or maybe it was genders they don't have. Or both.

[ChahikoDBZ]

Those scans make me more excited. I hope to see more.

[Metalwario64]

Birusu. (Bruce? lol.)

I don't know much about that Japanese language thing, but I'm pretty certain that "Bruce" would be "Burusu". I only know this because the Mega Man character Protoman is named Blues in Japan, and the romanization for it is "Burusu" (which is sometimes funnily mistranslated as Bruce).

So we're looking more at a "Brice" then? Admittedly, Brice is not as funny as Bruce; I had some awful puns in mind for "Bruce", but Brice does make more sense. Bill has humor potential too, but I find Bruce the funnier name of the two.

[kei17]

I guess Birusu and Uisu are puns for beer (biiru) and whiskey (uisukii) or maybe virus (uirusu/biirusu).

[Kirbopher]

Whoa, you figured that shit out fast! So "Beers" and "Whis"? Or no, if it were a pun on "Beer" wouldn't it be "biia"?

EDIT: Wisu appears to be the "God of ___" as well. Anyone gotta translation for those kanji?

[Jackal puFF]

Haha! I'd love if they're names were beer and whiskey. Would be classic. Beer is looking really different in that scan.

[JeffJarrett]

What kanji? It's only his name in Japanese.
