But GT itself prevents the events of DBO from happening.JulieYBM wrote:Everything happens where everything happens. Dragon Ball Online doesn't suddenly affect Dragon Ball GT in anyway.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But it's impossible for DBO to happen after GT. In DBO, Piccolo is still alive, while he dies in GT, and Majin Boo never merged with Oob in DBO, like in GT. Instead, Boo expelled a woman version of himself (like he expelled Pure Evil Boo), named Booby, and then they made a family with lots of children, creating the Majin race. However, after having so many children, Boo's lifespan was shortened, and eventually he passed away.JulieYBM wrote:Dragon Ball Online being a sequel to the comic affects only Dragon Ball Online. Not the comic and not other sequels to the story, like Dragon Ball GT. It doesn't have to be one or the other, folks. It's not a big puzzle, it's far more simple then you're allowing yourselves to see it as.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I think if they were going to do that, they'd set the movie between the end of Z and the start of GT.SparkyPantsMcGee wrote:Yes GT has it's fair share of plot holes, but do you think they will do things in this movie to try and tie elements of GT better together? At least the earlier stuff?
Hey, he didn't kill Freeza. Some purple-haired kid from an alternate timeline did! Goku only kinda-killed him.Darknat wrote:My theory for this movie is that Goku did screw up when he killed Freeza.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Jump Festa's definitely the biggest Jump event, I'm certain something will be revealed there.Gyt Kaliba wrote:An extended trailer, or at least some more information on what's in the current one, is what I'd bet on too. Maybe the reveal of that last figure too.
I mean, there has to be something for it there, right? Jump Festa is pretty much the biggest event they could reveal things at, right?
That would be great lolShineman wrote:And would it be kinda epic if Arale appears in the movie and be the one that defeats the God of Destruction?
. I can already see it now !
Isnt defeating and killing the same thing? I mean Trunks did defeat a stronger Freeza faster and more efficient then even what Goku could do at the time. If Birusu learned about (Future) Trunks I wonder if he'd even fight Goku? Maybe pick a fight with little Trunks?Chuquita wrote:Ah, so it's "defeated", not "killed". That kind of absolves Future Trunks of indirect responsibility for all this. It's all Goku's fault then. XD Not only did he defeat Freeza, he decides he'll fight Virus even after Kaio-sama tells him not to. (And then loses.)
Not sure if Goku gets to learn some kind of lesson from all this, but depending on how badly Virus and Uisu mess things up, it may cause some tension. Not sure if it could reach OP movie 6 levels of crazy, but I'd like to see it try.
Do we know what events are specifically happening for DBZ at Jump Festa? Maybe a voice actor panel? Or FLOW will perform their theme live? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that not a ton of info actually comes out of Jump Festa. I mean, that trailer JUST dropped. Unless one of the VA's lets some info slipChuquita wrote:Ok! What (if anything new) does everyone think they will reveal about BOG at Jump Festa next weekend?
Optimistically, I'm hoping for a new trailer and some more minor spoilers about the movie plot. (Maybe clear up what's going on with Pilaf Gang?)
How likely do you think it is that Toriyama himself will show up??Defeating implies that you simply bested an opponent in a competition. It doesn't always mean that you outright killed someone.eledoremassis02 wrote:Isnt defeating and killing the same thing?

MY HOLY GRAIL (110% Serious. Please sell me one)Mayuri Kurotsuchi wrote:"In this world, nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche after all but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
All I know about the panel atm is that it takes place from 11:20am to 11:50am on the 22nd and is hosted by Masako Nozawa, Mayumi Tanaka, and Toshio Furukawa.medama_oyaji wrote:Do we know what events are specifically happening for DBZ at Jump Festa?

Speaking of Toriyama, I wonder if we'll get any more work from him in Jump magazine to promote the movie? I bet we get at least a color illustration (besides the One Piece combo ticket). I'd LOVE for a new comic, if even just a single chapter. I bet anything he does do could probably end up in Shonen Jump Alpha, which is exciting!!
