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

[Li'l Lemmy]

Hm, yes. Interesting, that.

There should be a Goten and Trunks movie with music composed by Danny Elfman.

I'm on board for this. O_O

I've seen all three 20th Century Boys movies, and thought they were alright (though looking on ANN, he's not even listed for the movies, which is kinda weird).

I thought the ending of the movies was even better than Urasawa's, and 20CB is my favorite manga.

Though Urasawa also contributed to the scripts for the movies, as well.

[Raykugen]

So now it's Dragon Ball Z instead of Kai.

it looks they are not so proud of Kai hahaha.
Even, the specials of 2008, 2010 and 2011 were called just "Dragon Ball", probably, because we have DBZ and DBKAI

[Gaffer Tape]

Well, the JSAT was called Dragon Ball because it was a special for the anniversary of Shonen Jump and its manga, and there is no Dragon Ball Z manga.

[MCDaveG]

Goten and Trunks are pictured on the reveal image. I'm officially safe to watch this movie, no matter what it is.

Sounds awesome

[batistabus]

This sounds like fantastic news so far. Let's hope he's still got it!

Every time I come back to this thread I keep getting all super happy inside. And for some reason I also get the urge to watch my Jump Special DVD when news of new animation pops up!!

[NeoKING]

Here's hoping "with some modern flavor" means "One Piece-quality."

But, how good is the writer and director? I haven't really seen any of the writer's movies.

Agreed Is it sad that I've had family over all day and all I've been wanting to do is get back on here and talk about this The people from Kanzenshuu are my family too Do you guys think they will End Z with this movie or add stuff from Dragonball Online stuff like this

Tenshinhan officially establishes the New Crane School.
--During the various battles in the past, Tenshinhan had been eclipsed by the Saiyans and Piccolo. He and Kuririn could not be satisfied with this power gap between them and the aliens. While traveling throughout the world continuing his training, Tenshinhan forms a theory that ki attacks, rather than “support”, is the key. He remembered how ki attacks had allowed him to participate in fights with opponents overwhelming stronger than himself, such as when he caught Cell off-guard with his Shin-Kikoho, or when he contributed ki to Goku’s Super Genki-Dama that destroyed Majin Boo. If one could perfect such ki techniques, they could be used to take on powerful enemies that would be difficult to fight on one’s own. Tenshinhan passes these ideas on to the next generation of Crane Warriors. He sets up his school near the Mountain of Refreshing Scenery (formally Mount Frypan), the home of Kame-sennin. Perhaps this was so that he would never forget Kame-sennin?
[Note: It’s not quite clear, but I think the name they use here is Ryoukei-zan/”Mountain of Refreshing Scenery”, which in the series is supposed to have been Mt. Frypan’s original name before it caught fire. So apparently it has regained that name now that the fire is gone and it is again a nice place (though there shouldn’t be any mountain anymore either, but whatever). Not sure why the place is called Kame-sennin’s home. Perhaps it’s just referring to Kame-sennin’s island, which is sorta-kinda nearby, though not very. Or maybe in DB Online Kame-sennin eventually set up shop near what’s left of Mt. Frypan.]

and

Having helped defeat Freeza’s remnants, Kuririn creates the New Turtle School.
--With there now being much interest in ki-based martial arts, as outlined in Gohan’s “The Science of Ki-Control”, people begin asking Kame-sennin to start teaching martial arts again. But Kame-sennin refuses, citing his age, and has Kuririn and Tenshinhan take his place. To answer the question of “what can Earthling warriors do?” the two of them create the “New Turtle School” and “New Crane School”.

Kuririn is keenly aware of the gap in physical prowess between Earthlings and Namekians. Thinking hard about what role humans could play, he finally settles on “support”, focusing on ways to weaken the enemy and strengthen one’s allies, even in cases where one is not powerful enough to fight the enemy directly. He persuades the new generation of warriors that people are needed to fill such a role in battles against overwhelmingly strong enemies. He had acted in precisely this capacity during many of his battles with Goku and the others, and believes there is nothing shameful about it. He sets up his martial arts school in the same town where Goku had first been active; despite his talk about “supporting roles”, perhaps in some way he still does consider Goku his rival. Even after Kuririn’s death, his spirit is passed on through the New Turtle School.
[Note: no clue what town they’re referring to here. Perhaps they mean Mount Paozu; that’s not really a town, but some translation glitch may be to blame. It may also be the towns terrorized by Oolong or the Rabbit Gang, or any other place from early in the series.]

I have a good feeling about the chances of this being a brand new story.
Even though I like Vegeta's Buu arc outfit better, the sight of him in his Cell arc outfit up against everyone dressed for the Buu arc makes me think of the 2008 special which makes me think this might be something completely different in terms of plot. That makes me happy. :3

[penguintruth]

I'll tell you one thing, Broly better not be in this!

[Gonstead]

*crosses fingers* Tori-Bot as a central character to plot of movie... voiced by Toriyama *crosses fingers*

Whoa! calm down bro

Speaking of Yūsuke Watanabe, the writer, 20th Century Boys was so-so, but Gantz is so fucking infamous. I'm little worried about the script.

[Innagadadavida]

I haven't been this excited for Dragon Ball news since the Kai dub. I can't wait to see this movie! I'll probably wait for the dub though.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Is there anything significant about this film's release date? This movie seems to have come from no where.

[kei17]

The Buu arc Goku wearing dougi with the kame mark on it looks kind of weird to me.

[Chuquita]

It is a little odd, but didn't something similar happen in the 08 special? He didn't even have the cummerbund in that one, he had the one that you tie in the front that hangs loose.

This?

[Insertclevername]

Just for clarification, would his Cell to Boo belt be referred to as an "obi"?
