Ox King wearing that spiffy tie and thick-rimmed glasses looking like a hipster has truly violated my common sense of Z.

Who is that next to Tenshinhan that the TV logo kind of covers? Is that...Gohan?

I think so. Is he... wearing glasses?! (look at the black line under the text) :o

Glad it's not just me who's thinking that kinda looks like Gohan there.

That's what threw me off too. He doesn't seem to be wearing glasses anywhere else in the promotion for this, so...I mean, he can ditch them easily enough, he did in GT, but still.

Actually...okay, Pan was roughly 4 years old at the end of DBZ, right? That means she has to have been conceived roughly 5 years prior to that. There's a 10 year gap between Buu's defeat and that ending, where this movie takes place sometime in-between...that actually doesn't leave THAT much room. So I'm really beginning to like the theory that maybe this movie is kind of a lead-in or just around the time of Gohan and Videl's wedding.

Everyone seems so surprised on that shot, except C-18 and Piccolo who just don't have that kind of temper and keep serious while waiting for an explanation.
Maybe it's Birus arriving and telling them "Oh, Goku? You mean the guy I defeated single-handedly?" 8)

But Bulma and Chichi's surprise seems more comical than "real shock", more like "huuuh??... who is that funny-looking Catman?", like Kame Sennin's expression too.
More like curiosity or something.

In the trailer had a scene of Goku in space. Get ready for the mindless debates if Goku can breath in space or not soon.

It's already started on Youtube :lol:

Also I just thought of something (though It may have been discussed before)

Birusu is awaken because of Freeza getting killed by a Super Saiyajin. So this is all Future Trunks' fault?

I have a feeling it will go unexplained, but there's always a chance that's part of the 'violation of common sense of Z' thing too. Bils is a God after all, maybe he can make air appear in a limited space around himself if he's in space, thus allowing Goku to fight him even there?

If I recall, didn't Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo go into space in Movie 2 when Dr. Uiro was fed up with the bullshit and decided to do the Earth in with one go?

Wow. He didn't give a credit to Kanzenshuu for providing the description to the movie.

Watching the trailer, I get a vibe that the whole reacton shot of the gang seems to have something to do with the Dragon Balls.

I got that feeling too, and it seemed like they were all gathered already on this little pillow thing.

You wouldn't think this would be too long after Buu's defeat, since Goten and Trunks barely look any older. Of course, Goku stayed a midget well into his teen years, so...who knows...

6 of them at least. Convinently the 4-star dragon ball isn't seen... maybe Goku has it again?
And Pilaf, Mai and Shuu seem to have been turned to kids, their proportions are so... chibi xD

*facepalms* Knew I forgot something to consider in that. Thanks. This would seem to be pretty shortly after Buu's defeat based on them, but yeah, there is the factor of how Goku himself aged to consider I guess.

Hmm...is it probably safe to assume this movie at least takes place after the Jump special, if nothing else?

I didn't even notice that one was missing. :shock:

As for Pilaf's gang looking so odd, I'm almost chalking that up to just new design quirks, or something. But who knows at this point heh.

A body staying a midget seems to be a Saiyan's thing only. Gohan appeared to be an adult when he was 16 while Goku still looked like 14 years old when he was 18 at the end of the original DragonBall.

Wasn't Movie 14 taking place 5 years after the defeat of Majin Buu?
