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

[Saiga]

I don't actually think there's anything I specifically want to know at this stage. Can't think of a single thing.

I don't actually think there's anything I specifically want to know at this stage. Can't think of a single thing.

Not even a good movie?

I got a list, man! :

-Full 20th Century Fox Logo
- Waves and Rocks Logo
- Obligatory Lunch Cameo
- Decent story
- Something that adds to the DB universe
- Interesting scenery and backgrounds
- Character development of some sort
- Something we haven't seen in the series before
- Characters doing everyday stuff.
- See characters other than the main cast. The film would feel empty without seeing random civilians, etc.

I didn't mean what I wanted out of the movie, I meant I didn't know if there was any information I wanted out of V-Jump. Replying to Chuquita.

Ah, fuck. Well don't I feel retarded. There goes me forgetting to actually read stuff, again.

EDIT: To avoid giving the impression that I'm posting for the sake of posting, I decided to just edit this post and give it a little more substance.

Anyway, was just flicking through the Orange Hero credits sequence, and I can't help but hope we get more stuff like this:


Nothing too silly, nothing too action-oriented; just fun, feel-good character interactions.

Also, this:

Makes me smile every time and I really hope that BOG can invoke similar emotions.

I'd be happy with any one of my six questions hint-answered, but I'd have no problem settling for some new screenshots too. I've definitely learned my lesson from One Piece Film Z about getting too many spoilers.

[JulieYBM]

I'm not sure any of my animation-based questions would be answered in a magazine, although an interview with Yamamuro would be nice. I wonder what it's like for him to work with Toriyama again, considering how they must have spoken a bit during the production on other movies.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Assuming the answers wouldn't completely ruin some sort of surprise for the film, the only things I can think of that I'd like to know are:
-What's going on with Gohan? (Beaten' to death already, but still...)
-Why is Pilaf's gang, except maybe Pilaf himself, so short and younger in appearance?
-Is Uisu actually a Makaio(shin)?
-Will we see the "Sozoshin", God of Creation? (Don't care if he actually actually appears, is depicted as a drawing in some sort of ancient ruins, shows up in someone's story or we get an actual character design sheet.)

The 2ch thread is starting to close in on its danger-1000 zone (they just reached 900) I'd keep an eye for the jump once a link for the new thread is posted. With all the news-updates on the horizon (what with both Weekly Jump and VJump putting out new issues soon) the new thread will be a valuable resource. I'm pretty sure that once 2ch threads reach 1000 the old thread only exists for a little while before it vanishes.

I'm mentioning this because I won't be able to keep tabs on it this evening and it just happens to be coinciding with the near-end of the thread.

-Why is Pilaf's gang, except maybe Pilaf himself, so short and younger in appearance?

I think I can answer that one. It seems to be a stylistic choice for comedic effect. Much like how Arale got smaller over time in Dr. Slump. Even Mr. Satan underwent a similar transformation from the cell - to buu saga.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yeah, I've considered that as an option, but it's the lamest one I can think of.
Pilaf and Shuu aren't regular humans, so I could excuse them, but Mai is. She doesn't need to resemble a child that drastically, not when she should be at least around her 40s. Doesn't matter if they are gag characters or not, she's pretty much always been one since the first arc anyway. So it's an odd choice when Mai has been like three times her cohort's size in everything else that wasn't SD in nature, and they decide to just change that now... So, still hoping we get an actual in-universe explanation. :/

[Sinestro]

I wouldn't mind his appearance, but I don't want him to be the solution to the threat. They can use him to solve some sort of problem Bils sets before them or something, but the final battle shouldn't rely on who has the most Saiyans in one body.

My hentai fantasies are ruined, then.

(Yep, I'm late to the party. Have to catch up!)

Well, she's pretty old by this point. So she's may just be that..."old lady" kind of small.

Doesn't really seem like "old lady" small, seems more like "child" small. lol But I'd accept that explanation better than the idea that she's now small just because gag characters need to be.

[Gokuden]

Mai's always been stellar in appearance, I'm collecting her figurine for sure. Mai x Goku? Snow x Goku?
Poor Goten's got nobody to securely fill the void on his right side, no full circle. You'd think Satan would have brought a hooker.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Snow x Goku?

I support this. I support this greatly.

Maybe that'll be another 'GT Tie-In'. Goten meets the young Palise, everyone's absolutely favorite girl.

[soulnova]

Wait, wait. Snow? That's Suno, right? In which case, I approve. I believe she's the only other character that would have been acceptable with Goku as a couple.

[Chuquita]

*Wonders if Goku would move to Suno's village and they'd live there together in this theoretical timeline.* He'd probably have to get a cold-weather version of his gi made considering how not-so-well Goku handles the cold.

They'd probably still name their first son (assuming it's a son) Gohan, only I feel like Suno would be a less strict mama than Chi-Chi (allowing Goku to train with him), and also Suno's Gohan would be a redhead like her, because why not.

Living in a village would probably change some dynamics around too, because suddenly Gohan's got a "hometown" and growing up with other little kids around him. Goku's also suddenly got neighbors and people who'd see him everyday. It'd definitely be different than what happens in the canon, what with Chi-Chi and Mt. Paozu and them pretty much living in isolation.


Oh! In relation to BOG; while VJump info pretty much appears exactly as per street date, Weekly Shounen Jump scans should be appearing as early as Wednesday if their regular pattern holds, so it's possible we might get some new ads or something before the end of the week since their street date is the same.

[DNA]

You guys suddenly created a timeline much more interesting than anything Multiverse has been farting out.

By the way, May looks kind of curved down so I think she'll be taller with her back straight. She still looks younger than she should, she already was a grown woman when she first appeared.

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

Well we did have hourglasses in the trailer, not to mention the fact that the Special Contents page has quite a heavy emphasis on space. Perhaps there is something to do with time that is affecting Pilaf and friends.

Time is not related to space.
