Do you think someone will die in Battle of Gods?

What if one of the friends totally betrayed everyone, though?

I see two potential schemes from dífferent series here. The first is based on VegettoEX idea and expanded upon. I think everyone in US is familiar with Gundam Wing the most (I like the UC most), how one of the Gundam pilots and heroes betrayed the cast in Endless Waltz. Not narrow mindedly, but for his own moral ideals as he was dissilusioned by the new emerging force. Well, that can definitely work with Gods in DBZ.
Second I thought up, is this ultimatum thing, like in Saint Seiya. OK guys, we have Athena here, you have 12 hours to save her or she dies and then you will be completely broken, defeated and we will rule or destroy the world afterwards.
None of them are much original, but killing for example Krillin???? Pfffffff! You can't be serious, he died 3 times allready + in GT!!!!!!!

Are you sure Shenron can bring back the people revived by Porunga? Gohan doesn't seem to think Tenshinhan can be revived at the Cell Games.

I don't think there's any way to be sure since I don't think it's ever put to the test. The rule is meant to be that Shenlong won't grant the same wish twice, though; Porunga granting it shouldn't mean that he can't grant it going by that wording, since he wouldn't be granting it twice, but...it really would have to be put to the test.

Though there is the issue with Gohan saying that no one but Trunks can be revived by the Dragon Balls if they die at the Cell Games, but Piccolo, Yamcha and Tenshinhan had only been revived by Porunga at that point...but does Gohan really know for sure? Maybe he talked to Dende about it while they were hanging out on the lookout before the battle?

Gohan was throwing bullshit. Porunga didn't have any problem bringing back Kuririn & Chaozu twice, and that was after Shen Long brought them back once. Shen Long just can't repeat wishes. He can bring Goku back twice, he can't bring world peace twice, he can't make Kuririn rich twice. Porunga doesn't have such a problem, and he is not affected by Shen Long in any way.

We already know no one's going to die in this movie because we've seen what happens ten years later and everyone's alive. I'd bet solid money they're trying not to step on GT's toes either.

I guess someone could die and be wished back before the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai, but isn't that the same no-consequences nonsense with the addition of being stupid?

They already all died at the end of the Buu Saga, you can't be wished back twice, right?
Krillin plot-hole.

Wait, what plot hole is this? Kuririn is resurrected once by Shen-Long and twice by Porunga. And one more tme by crazy rule-breaking Shen-Long at the end of GT if you want to bring that up, which I don't have a problem with.

Oh yeah, there's always the option of using Porunga,you really can't kill anyone with any real consequences.

By the end of Z, Porunga is completely overpowered, as he lost his main drawback... so, death has totally lost its meaning by then.
