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

[GS7X7]

Just out of curiosity but what was the last DBZGT movie/special Funimation released (or re-released) and what kind of music options were on there?

[Saiga]

I'll throw one in for good measure, Cell's nucleus in his brain/Gokuu's Shunkan Ido Kamehameha.

That's a good one. In fact, I wouldn't hesitate to call it the manga's biggest plot hole.

Possible explanations:

1) He moved the nucleus to his lower body before the attack, OR the nucleus wasn't originally in his brain but was moved there either after regenerating from the KHH or when he regenerated from self destruction (as it became the new brain).

2) The nucleus survived and attached itself to his body before regenerating itself, because regenerating half a body is less taxing than regenerating the entire thing.

3) His nucleus is just the "primary" regenerator, capable of regenerating his whole body if it is reduced to that alone. The rest of his body can still regenerate lesser injuries without it.

I actually never heard that third one, I like it better than the theory I was sticking with, which was the first one.

I actually made that up on the spot, glad you like it.

[Herms]

We might be getting too far afield here again. Perhaps a seperate "biggest plot holes in the manga and how you'd explain them" thread is in order?

Toriyama would be proud

Thats a pretty good idea, sounds like a fun thread! I'll make it.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Was there any dialogue in the latest preview that would be worth translating?

Since no one's I asked I assume there isn't, but I just wanna double check.

[SaiyamanMS]

Most notable dialogue:

Goku: Yo, how about we go at it for a bit?
Uisu: Shall you destroy the Earth, please?
Birusu: Before creation, comes destruction!

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Birusu: Before creation, comes destruction!

Ooh, I like this one!

The first one is classic Goku and the second one, as generic as it is, I like how casual it sounds.

Technically, it would be Episode of Bardock. But that was sub-only as an extra feature in DBZ:Kinect(?)
As for as an official, physical dub release...IIRC it was the Dragon Ball movie boxset with the new dub of movie 1. All of their recent releases have had English/Japanese audio with the original BGM.

[worldmonsters]

Hahaha, I didn't want to cause a fuzz when I brought up Kaio's planet :p I thought it'd be worth noting though :p and is no one thinking about how events could've transpired in the past (Goku being beat up for the first time), just around the 3 year wait for the Androids or something? Kaio's planet was there, Goku wasn't dead (no halo present in that shot) and it's only about a year or two after Frieza was killed :p Could make sense, right? What are other people's thoughts about a part of the movie happening in the past?

Smart idea, but don't we see a shot of Goku being Super Saiyan 3 on Kaio's planet?
That can only mean it happens during - or after in this case - the Majin Boo arc.
Some may argue that it could happen during the 7 years gap when Goku trained and had already become Super Saiyan 3, but I don't think there's a halo over his head.
Finally, who knows if it's actually Kaio's planet for that Super Saiyan 3 shot, it could be another, potentially larger planet of the Other World.

Uisu: Shall you destroy the Earth, please?
Birusu: Before creation, comes destruction!

Maybe Uisu is the god of creation?

[Chuquita]

Which makes me wonder if Uisu wants to create his own world, but to do so Birusu has to destroy the current one first; like erasing a pencil drawing so you can use that same piece of paper to draw something else.

Also! This ad:

Is there anything new listed on there or is it just a general BOG advertisement?

[Thanos]

That picture of Goku bothers me. He's too... wide or something. His fingers are massive. wtf

[JulieYBM]

His arm and hand are extended towards the reader.

[Chuquita]

His face is wide in the art because that's Yamamuro's art style; it's thinner when Toriyama draws him.

With Uisu, while I know you can't judge a character based on one line of dialogue, the "please" at the end of that specific question makes me think he's got a polite speech pattern in general.

Looks like some sort of promotion for a cram school or other, and not for the film itself.

That's unusual. So it's like a "Son Goku trains hard to become stronger. By training your mind through the programs found at "Insert School Name Here", you too can reach new heights and achieve your goals of getting into your desired college of choice." sort of thing? Huh.

Thank you for the translation!

Oh! I wanted to ask, but it got lost in the shuffle of the past several pages; are either you or Pekingduck going to Jump Festa?
