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

[Storm101]

Not bad at all

[Thanos]

That little Android 18 mistake put a smile on my face. Good ol' Toriyama.

I for one don't find it funny

It's really no different than how he's always been. I seem to remember him forgetting fairly significant details and events during serialization. It's been 15+ years since he finished the manga, so to me this isn't at all surprising or shocking--funny, if anything.

So if this is about Bulma's birthday, why wouldn't Goku or Vegeta be there? You would think Vegeta would care about his wife to show up, and Goku would care to show up to an important day for the first friend he ever had, and they both would be able to eat a huge amount of food.

I like to think Vegeta's gotten caught up in his training or something.

And Goku's Goku. There are two times he's mentioned to have not seen anyone outside of his family for five years.

Vegeta cares about Bulma (they're definitely closer by the Buu arc) so it makes me think that something happened. I'm still kinda sticking by my "Goku accidentally destroyed and/or ate whatever it was Vegeta got for Bulma, so Vegeta's angrily dragging Goku along with him in a last-minute rush to get a replacement gift for Bulma." theory until more info is revealed.

Yeah but it seems like Goku would be compassionate to his friends when it comes to something important. I almost forgot how he never saw the briefs in 5 years. Goku never ceases to amaze me with how he acts, I can never pinpoint what he would do. The movie will probably confuse me even more.

Vegeta would probably be forced to show up, and I think Bulma would have made sure he was with her at all times.

Well, yeah. Goku obviously loves his friends, but he's not exactly familiar with social norms and standards... He probably doesn't even think that Bulma and the others might like to see him every once in a while.

And with Vegeta... I dunno. He's more of a wildcard than Goku is, in my opinion, just because you never know if he's in "loving father" mode or "train train train" mode. Goku's almost always in the latter.

I would be surprised if he didn't think people wanted to see him. He is the one who affected all their lives. He has changed every friend he has ever met. I would think Goku by now would be smart enough to understand that. I can understand training getting in the way though.

I would think by the end he was good. He seems to be more settled by the the end of the Boo saga/Z.

[bleed0range]

Well guys, maybe the reason Goku & Vegeta aren't at the party has to do with the enemy showing up? That's what I think anyway. Also, in regards to Bius being playful... I'd like to think that Toriyama wants him to be playful like a cat. In other words he likes to toy with his prey/food first. hahaha.

And about #18's hair color... well... I'd say it's safe to assume at this point that Gohan is SSJ because Toriyama forgot all about the ultimate/mystic/whatever form he created for Gohan.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

Didn't Toriyama say he read through manga to make sure he didn't forget important information? Maybe he made Gohan SSj for a good reason?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Because "Ah, yes. I remember now. Blond hair is stronger than black hair! I had forgotten that hair color matters...". =P

In Gohan's case yes. You would think Gohan's Ultimate power unleashing moment would be remembered. Then again it was pretty short lived.

[Karasai]

Gohan hasnt been practicing much, which is why he cant use his Mystic form anymore.

I'm sure they'll use that excuse. They've used it before.

Mystic is not a form. Mystic is all of his power brought out into his base. He has access to it without a transformation. He should still have it.

About gourmet, from Daizenshuu 4 Akira Toriyama's Best,

Out of all your characters, which one is the most (blank)?
Gourmet: Satan
“I get the sense that he eats expensively. He’s high-class, but an OK sort.”

So maybe that's what is meant by Birusu being gourmet?

[Chuquita]

That sounds right. Birusu's a picky kind of eater.

Anyone see this in person? VJump tweeted an image of it, but they pixelated the character art before uploading it. ^^;;

From what I can tell based on the movie poster:
Top Row: Mr Satan, Videl, Gohan, Goku, Goten, Trunks, Kuririn, Birusu
Bottom Row: No clue, 18, Bulma, Kamesennin, Yamcha, Oolong?, Tenshinhan, Ox King?.

The details of Gohan's new powers have never been elucidated in the manga or guidebooks except for some vague explanation. Let alone making it strict like you are saying.

I don't believe he would forget something like that, the same way he wouldn't forget the Kaio-ken or the other forms of Super Saiyan. He drew hundreds of panels of Gohan like that.

Mr. Satan, Videl, Gohan, Goku, Goten, Trunks, Kuririn, Vegeta
Muten Roshi, No.18, Bulma, Chichi, Yamcha, Oolong, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Gyuumao (a.k.a. the rest)

The Elder Kaioshin himself said transformations are the wrong way of doing things. Would you call Guru's power up a form too? It's the same concept but expanded upon.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Image went down.



Anyway, I'm seeing:

Mr. Satan, Videl, Gohan, Chi Chi, Goten, Trunks, Kuririn, 18, Marron
Dr. Brief, Panchi, Bluma, Muten Roshi, Yamcha (and Puar?), Oolong, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Gyumao

It wasn't necessary for Gohan to "turn on" his new powers in Saichourou case. So they are not the same.
