It can be Battle of Gods, but also the continuation of Dragon Ball Kai which was announced the same month as his message.

Moji Maker Z, huh? I was expecting a mojito to appear right here, ready to drink, when I clicked on it, but this logo maker is pretty cool, nonetheless :lol: :lol:
It's quite simple, but fun at the same time.
And of course, I had to try my hand as well :)

Yes, Goku visited me once. He turned to me while I was still speechless, and said, "You've drank too much"...

Nice cover art, the pasty blue guy must be Anubils' Zarbon.
That time your teacher asked you to draw Cell in biology class.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Does anyone else notice the blast that Bills is about to throw at Goku in the trailer http://youtu.be/hK0OuAohf8I?t=57s (0:57) is the same one that Frieza threw at Trunks http://youtu.be/SimdMab-LF4?t=1m (1:00) Also the same as the one he threw at Bardock. Could this mean some sort of connection or just a coincidence?

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.

I say coincidence, because that technique that Freeza used is anime-only.
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.

And the technique Bilus used is movie-only. Anyway, Freeza's sun-looking technique is called Supernova, and it is also used by Coola in the two movies he appeared (as well as in video games).

Really? Where is it written/stated that that Freeza's attack is called Supernova? I thought it didn't have a name (besides Death Ball or something).

It was called like that in the Sparking! games.

Now it makes sense, Bilis or Anubils was Freeza's master!!
He was surprised that someone defeated his pupil!

He could also have been a fellow student, time to honor fureza.

They are from the video games only IIRC? The DB wiki also calls them by those names as well :roll: .

One thing I've been trying to follow is the varied release of pre-sale tickets for this film. There's been quite a few and it's been fun to try and keep track of them, and is becoming a bit confusing.

Originally we had the neat collaboration ticket with the One Piece Z film.

Image

Then it was announced that three different tickets would be available at Jump Festa for adults, children and adult/child combos (for 1300, 800 and 2000 yen, respectively).

Image Image Image

Even though most of the ticket info at the bottom is removed you can tell that each different ticket is printed with different color font. You can see full images of an adult ticket here, and an adult/child combo ticket here.

However there have been images of what appears to be another ticket (for adults) floating around the internet. Is anyone able to read into this and figure out what it is? Is it truly a ticket, or maybe some sort of waiver? Any info would help!!
