I'm happy enough to let other people speculate about the Super Saiyan God form.

I just look forward to discovering it, and seeing it in action.

Thanos wrote:I have a feeling that since it's a Super Saiyan stage, gold hair will be involved. Since GT isn't a factor, everything related to Super Saiyan has involved gold hair. That's the iconic look of the Super Saiyan. For all we know it looks just like regular Super Saiyan, but with some kind of crazy aura with all kinds of special effects to signify the godliness of it. But then again, I'd honestly not be surprised to see something vaguely similar to elyas11's design.
That's how I imagine it to be. I honestly have no idea what to expect, but if I were to design it, that would be it.

On a sidenote, is there any possibility that it might be Gogeta or Vegeta or something..? Or the "new saiyan"? (sorry if this is already asked, so many pages o.O)

Especially since they say in the trailer "FIND OUT HOW IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE MOVIE!!!", while you already know how it looks like. :lolno:

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 assume this new Saiyan would either be Pan or Bulla, because at end of DBZ only new Saiyans were Pan and Bulla.

Those two girls aren't even born at the time the movie takes place.

Is it normal for a film to give away so many free tickets? Does it still count towards the movie's gross revenue?

I know End of Z takes place 10-years after Pure Boo is defeated and Battle of Gods takes place between the two time events.

Well, maybe Sims fanboys will finally have their christmas and we'll see Bulma or Videl's birth to Bra or Pan.
That will be the thing, that will shatter the common sense of Z. Raw animated birth!

IIRC, the movie is confirmed to take place two years after Boo's defeat. But even if I'm wrong, the movie has to take place after less than 5 years after Boo's defeat, since Goten & Trunks are still midgets. So, Bra & Pan can't exist yet, since Bra was 5 & Pan was 4 in the 28th TB.

The oracle fish told Birusu that the SSJG would appear in 39 years, if Goku was born around the time of the prediction it would be about two years after Buu. (he was 37 then)

Perhaps this "another saiyan" thing is referring to goku becoming ssj god and attaining another level of ssj?

I really think you guys are overthinking that "one more Saiyan" or "another Saiyan" notion.
Especially judging by where it's placed on the tracklist.

To me, it's obviously just about Goku arriving as the last Saiyan who can still do something once everyone else has been beaten.
There's "one more Saiyan to defeat before the end" or "another Saiyan left", no hidden meaning there.

I can't imagine at all a "new Saiyan" character being revealed, and I don't think it's about the Super Saiyan God either, otherwise it would be something like "another Saiyan state" or "another Saiyan transformation", "another Saiyan form", "another kind of Saiyan"...

That's what I think anyway, but I guess we'll find out in due time! :wink:
Anyway, the Super Saiyan God is enough of a shock-moment and big reveal for the movie, I wouldn't expect any more big mythology-shifting event - like suddenly revealing a new Saiyan out of nowhere! - than the ones we already know! 8)

Is that above a Super Saiyan 4? Would they have to redesign GT? Or is it like the other DBZ movies where they're not in line with the story?
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

This movie is completely ignoring GT because "GT isn't a part of the original work", and this movie is a part of the official history of Dragon Ball. So no, it's not like the other movies.

GT is the one which is like the other DBZ movies and not in line with the story.

I thought we were past it to be honest, but if someone hasn't been keeping up with the thread or seen the quote from Yusuke Watanabe I can understand why they would bring it up.

It should be noted that the reason why the Oracle Fish's prediction is 39 years is because in Japan the digits in 39 would be pronounced "San-Kyuu," which also happens to be a Katakana rendition of "Thank You." I hear Japanese people often include the 39 in their work to show thanks for their fans for being, well, fans.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People
