Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
I think I found the Twitter account of the person who posted the Cinecom Walker photos, but I could be wrong: https://twitter.com/kakarotxxx
If this is the person, no one's asked him or her anything about the magazine.
EDIT 1:
For comparison, the BOG leads for January/February/March VJumps of 2013:
I think this screenshot of Gohan taking off his glasses it's more than likely before he turns Super Saiyan to display it to Freeza's minions as they will demand it to see one as Goku and Vegeta are confronting Freeza somewhere else. I would like to think Gohan still has Ultimate/Mystic powers in this movie, but he will show Super Saiyan form for those reasons. It was confirmed in Battle of Gods that Gohan can turn both without a problem, so I really hope he didn't loose his full potential after the last movie.
English is not my first language!
I'm still waiting for Dragon Ball in Super...
Akira Toriyama in [url=http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/saikyo-jump-june-2014-issue-twel-buu-mysteries/]Saikyō Jump's June 2014 interview[/url] wrote:
Goku endlessly keeps getting stronger, with Super Saiyan 3 in the manga and Super Saiyan 4 in the anime; does Super Saiyan keep getting limitlessly stronger too? Might we eventually see things such as a Super Saiyan 5…?!
Super Saiyan 2 and 3 are nothing more than powered-up variations of Super Saiyan. After the fight with Beerus, Goku realized that mastering his normal state and Super Saiyan would raise his level more and sap less strength, so I think he probably won’t become Super Saiyan 2 or 3 any more.
...but we know that he absorbed god form according to his interview in the Battle of Gods Animanga:
I get that and I am totally fine with it. I just don't like how the piece of dialogue went down. Freeza asking Goku not to become Super Saiyan is ridiculous, that is like a bugler walking into your room and starts bragging he robbed all your stuff and then see's you have a crowbar next to you and begs you not to pick it up.
Next there is Goku's ridiculous comment about Freeza making a good ally if he wasn't so evil. Well, if Freeza wasn't evil then Goku would have been since Planet Vegeta wouldn't have been blown up, also they probably would never have met.

That's not what he said though. He's asking Goku why he isn't using Super Saiyan, not please don't become a Super Saiyan.
Freeza: "In order to get my revenge on you people, I performed what they call 'training' for the first time. This time I'll go at full power right from the start."
Goku: "You would have made a good rival if you hadn't been such a bad guy."
Freeza: "Is it really alright for you to not become Super Saiyan?"
Goku: "Now, I no longer need to."
In fact, it seems he's practically trying to goad him into using it.
Baggie_Saiyan wrote:"Is it really alright for you to not become Super Saiyan?"
That sounds like he is pleading.
When Frieza says "is it really alright for you to not go super Saiyan" he means can you really handle things without it. "is it really alright" basically asking are you really okay with out the form? He's not begging for him not to use it.
You see it now?

It sounds hard to believe, but it looks like a lot of sites are reporting that release date, and according to ANN, Mexico is also getting the film 2 days before Japan.

Perhaps, begging is a little exaggerated but still it is ridiculous for Freeza to even suggest something like that I am pretty sure he would want to beat Goku at full strength otherwise there would be no point in fighting. Also, it is a really lame thing for a villain to say. But anyway since Goku wasn't gonna go SS anyway , I guess it really doesn't matter.

Is there any reason for that? I mean, how is that possible?
Yahoo! Cinema wrote:Dragon Ball Z: Freeza's Rebirth, the new movie of the Dragon Ball Z series, already have a date to arrive in Brazillian movie theaters.
According to Fox Film do Brasil, the movie will debut here in April 16, 2015. The Japanese debut will come very later, in April 25.
In this new plot, the villain Freeza is resurrected by two members of his army, Tagoma and Sorbet, then Goku and the warriors Vegeta, Goham (sic) e Mestre Kam (sic, they mean Kame-Sennin, known in Brazil as "Mestre Kame"), will have to use their full powers to defeat the enemy.
The main concept, as well as the script and the character design are being produced by Akira Toriyama, who created the manga.
Again, this is worded in a very weird way, with spelling errors and misplaced comas here and there.
I just sent Fox Film do Brasil an email. I'll let you know if they reply.

What are you talking about? Freeza suggests Goku to use SS, he doesn't suggest him not to use it...
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.
I'm pretty anxious to see Goten and Trunks (if they do appear).
Mainly to see if they are older. Freeza mistake Trunks for Future Trunks can easily become a funny scene. If Goten keeps Goku hairstyle, Freeza may even mistake both.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Goten EOZ hair would be great. It was time to stop looking like his daddy (and more like his Grandma )
Anything is fine to me, I just want them to look older. I'm not asking much.

No, Chi-Chi will recall she was in the right before with Gohan and will force Goten to wear the Bowl Cut so Vegeta can do more Moe Howard jokes.

The abridged version of this movie is unbelievable far away.
Yeah it's not going to happen for quite a long time since TFS is doing things in terms of timeline mainly. We may not see BoG Abridged for 4yrs. They're still doing androids/Cell and have the Super Android #13 movie to do, and Brolly then Bojack then Brolly again and the Buu saga and Bio-Br-NOPE! Fusion Reborn, Super Saiyan Eradication, yadda yadda yadda. So yeah it's gonna take a good long while. I don't expect BoG to get abridged for at least 5yrs.
