A gold SSj4 would be no different then fan art that exist on the Internet for the past 10+ years. The form for SSjG may not be original, but it's something a bit different.

I am so hungry for Part 2 of Kei17's summary. O_O

I thought I read something in one of the 2ch threads about Vegeta being the moderator (referee? Host?) for the bingo games, but I don't know if I read it wrong or what.

They had me from DB-Z, lost me with GT, and now have me again with this new possibility.

I've been soooo tempted to check out those 2ch threads, but since I'd have to rely on Google Translate...well, I'd rather just wait for kei's report that I can actually read and trust to be fully accurate. ^_^;

Yeah me too. Come on Kei17 the whole community is eagerly awaiting for your new knowledge. We wait for your return to bring the news of spoiling.

Thanks for the info, Kei!

So... I think all I have to really say is that I didn't lower my standards enough after all. That's surprising.

Kanzenshuu's thread is actually way more on-topic than the 2ch ones have (for the most part) been. So much fusion (dance) talk there. @_@ Like, people wanting to see Pan and Bura's fusion, people wanting to see Goku and Gohan's fusion. It's like that site's version of the Gohan's hair talk.
EDIT: Also Vegetto. Not so much now that the spoilers thread is exists, but before Vegetto must've overthrown the conversation constantly.

I temporarily dropped looking at it earlier because of how fast it was moving, but with Kei asleep (or at work) and all, I'm still craving my spoilers fix so I'm back looking at it.
They've almost filled an entire 1000-count thread in a single day.
I don't think many of the people in that 2ch thread saw the movie though. I feel like there'd be more spoilers there if they had.

I don't think Kei said anything about that yet. Just Birusu said there are twelve other universes and Uisu is a martial arts master and stronger than him.

Goku's SSJG form, looking at Kei17's and Nostal's drawing of him... Goku looks a litlle like Crono with the red hair to me, haha.

Yeah. I think I mentioned earlier that I wasn't going to hold this up to any standard, and not have my hopes up... and but the info has still led to me being disappointed.

I'll admit, from what I've heard, I'm pretty disappointed with what Uisu turned out to be. But I absolutely love the whole Pan-thing and how Tarble is mentioned. Makes the movie actually feel like part of the official DB-Universe (not gonna use the "C-word"). :wink:

Not that anyone else would care, but I also love how they play the 20th Century Fox logo at the start. :D

The only thing I'm disappointed in is 'Super Saiyan God' itself - what it is, how it comes to be, and all of that. Everything else sounds great to me, personally. But even with SSG, they found a way to hook me - the twist of little Pan. I. Love. It. So I'm keeping my mind completely open until I see it for myself even more than before, because I just can't completely hate something that gives me something like that.

Well, that and the Uisu thing kinda. I really expected him to be the main villain or something, but I have to respect them pulling something out that I hadn't thought of either.

Yeah, Uisu has so far come off as underwhelming but the only thing that doesn't sit right with me is the drunk Gohan scene with Videl....it just sounds really dark. I really don't know how I feel about. I guess I'll wait until Kei17 comes back before I judge it (and you know, actually watch it whenever that may be).

But I'm really excited Pan makes an appearance...albeit fetus form.

Well.....I always knew that Uisu would be stronger than Birusu...

I'd still prefer SSG having Blue aura though :(

Also interested in what the end credits were. Did have some nice new footage or at least some nice art, or did it end up being a montage of clips from the movie? :roll:

Oddly enough, the thing I'm most looking forward to is how this movie does on its opening weekend. Predicting that it'll destory Akira, Ponyo, Pokemon and One Piece Film Z combined. :lol:

Looking forward to Kei's full review...I'll get the exploding hourglasses. :lol:

I don't think anything can defeat One Piece Film Z. One Piece is like...the ssjg of shounen properties in Japan right now.

I still think the movie will do pretty well though.


I'm disappointed that:
-Uisu didn't turn out to be a makaioshin in disguise/some kind of evil mastermind who inevitably betrays Birusu somehow
-ssjg isn't as flashy/elaborate-looking as I'd hoped, even if I am a fan of kaio-ken, but ssjg looking like kaio-ken with wavy hair could stand out further if say, it also had clothes similar to Birusu's.

I am relieved that:
-this movie didn't end with a genki-dama
-ssjg doesn't have golden fuzzy arms
-and that ssjg has eyebrows. And bangs/fringe.
