The movie needs to end with Gohan and Videl getting married, IMO.

Seriously though, the time frame in which this movie takes place is before GT right? I'm bad at the what happens in what age.
No, it's the decade between Kid Boo's defeat and Goku meeting Oob at the tournament. GT takes place years after the tournament.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I'm happy we have more official information, but sadly this isn't really news to me. I mean, I very much expected it to take place in this time frame, even without the poster that features the characters in the Buu Saga look.

Maybe with this movie Oob may finely get to shine a little bit.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

After Majin Buu's arc so it must be something new they're working on.

Though the first thing I thought after reading it was Dragon Ball GT.

It would be great to see Buu to get in on the action.

It's set before Oob's introduction, though.

Really? Ah man.. :? I think it would be cool if they did something with this character even though I highly doubt they will

Never really liked Ozotto, just can't stand his design.

Hmm, Ozotto kind of looks like a Dr. Eggman creation, don't know exactly why but it feels as such to me.

I don't think I want Ozotto in that one, maybe in something else.

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.

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.

They could just throw in some Makaioshins who rely more on magic rather than sheer strength (which obviously wouldn't be enough against anyone from the cast). I don't find it possible for someone stronger than Boo, who's been created through magic millions of years ago, to exist: Freeza was the strongest in the universe, Androids were made to be so strong on purpose, and Boo was an overpowered regenerating magical being.

If it isn't a Makaioshin, it will most likely be an artificial being again, like Janemba, Hildegarn, Baby, Super #17 and Super Yi Xing Long.

Aren't the Makaioshin inferior to the Kaioshin though?

We don't know. Only thing we know about the Makaio & Makaioshin is that they are delinquent Shin-jin with evil hearts.

Nah, I'm pretty sure that it was mentioned that the Makaioshin are "currently" inferior to the Kaioshin. I definitely remember reading it.

Oh yes, I just noticed it. So, maybe no Makaioshin in that movie.
