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

[VegettoEX]

As we approach Saturday's reveal of... well, whatever it is they're going to reveal... let's try to keep things as on-topic and concise as we can. There will be a lot of eyes looking this way for additional information, confirmation, and discussion. Thanks, all!

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Is it just me, or did the clock just wind back two more days?
EDIT: Maybe it was just counting down to the release of the next weekly Shonen Jump issue, I dunno...

It's Saturday all ready now just wait till they announce it, whatever it is, that is.

Still showing ~16 hours left on the countdown for me, so I dunno what happened for you. lol

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Must be a New Zealand thing or something.

[Innagadadavida]

What do you guys suppose the chances are that the movie will have some fun and new settings with some new and interesting story ideas and the side characters will get some shining moments and it won't just be a giant prick waving contest between Goku and some uninspired villain that ends in a dues ex machina?

Like... 5 maybe?

It says ~8 for me.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Yeah, it must be a time zone thing. I guess the countdown corresponds to the time on your computer or something like that.
I have to admit, this is kinda funny.

[Chuquita]

I've got 14 hours left here (so schedule for 10:00am, EST).

I'm so excited I've synchronized my cellphone's timer to the Jump countdown so I can check on it while I'm away from the computer. XD Never done that before.

I hope there's some juicy new information being revealed tomorrow morning. Also I'm hoping that with Toriyama on board that there's humor in this like with the 2008 special. The RB2 special and the new Bardock special were too serious for me. I do like serious, but I like a bit of humor in there too.

Arale-chan makes an appearance in this film? Heh, it would be cool to see her again.

Although it's a Dragon Ball Z film I'm hoping the content of it will be brand new and creative.

[sonikku956]

I think Krillin is just here for nostalgia purposes, sadly. Unless some of the stronger Z warriors trained with him besides C-18.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Arale is for Dragon Ball. For Dragon Ball Z, (Neko Majin) Z suits better.

C-18? That's a bit French-ish from the AB Groupe, IIRC.

Agreed.

This is amazing news. I like how they market it as a 'surprise' and that 'all of humanity has been waiting'

They know the Dragon Ball fans have been wanting decent major new material, whether a new series or a new film, for a long time. Finally, they listened and are delivering what hopefully would be the start of lots of new material to come.

One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention in this thread is the Dragon Ball SSS Project (Super Saiyan Secret Project) I wonder if this is part of it.

As for the music, like the Episode of Bardock, I hope Hiroshi Takaki is composing it. If the Yamamoto scandel didn't occur, it's very likely that he'd be the composer, he's probably thinking "If only I didn't borrow that damned Avatar piece.."

And, interesting that they are setting it at the Majin Buu timeline, a piece which they have yet to adopt for Kai. I always considered Kai a success, and thought there may be a reason why they haven't adapted the Buu saga yet.

Kai had fantastic ratings and I wondered why they didn't release a DBZ film into the cinemas during Kai's initial (though still unfinished) run. People may have flocked to the cinemas to see it. I hope they do, we need this new DBZ film to be a massive success so that Toei gets the message that if they give us what we want, we give them what they want.

I'm very happy Toei are making a big thing out of this, it shows that they have confidence in Dragon Ball and it's nice that it's set in the Majin Buu timeline, as I think the Buu saga is the best 'fun' saga (not the best saga, there's a difference)

This is it, I guess. I set my clock ahead the ~16 hours left on my timer and let it roll over. No super big reveal (though I could hope), the clock just reset to having 2 more days.

[Avenged]

It has now been revealed.

[theawesomepossum777]

It has now been revealed.

Wait, what? It said 14 hours a few minutes ago...

EDIT: My time is 9:06 CDT.

[dbboxkaifan]

As for the music, like the Episode of Bardock, I hope Hiroshi Takaki is composing it.

Just imo, but I found Takaki's music in EoB to be quiet, left to be desire and room for improvement, but if it's anything like on Ultimate Blast film cutscenes' music which I think Takaki composed then we're good to go.

Though, I'd prefer new Kikuchi music for this DBZ film just to have all the original cast for one possible last reunion.

It has now been revealed.

Really? What is it?

[JulieYBM]

It's live for me, too. Clear y'cookies.

[theawesomepossum777]

Yeah, Kenji Yamamoto died in furious anger and he returns as Demon Lord Kenji!!! Will be everyone on SSJ3 level enough? Will Fusion of Gotenks and Gogeta be enough and universe won't implode from this unbelievable transformation?? Next year on Dragon Ball Zeeeeeeee

No, wait, he should be called Yamamoto Daimao!
