I think I'l go with "Bilis/Billus" since I think it's fitting for a god especially one that seems to have an Egyptian-esc theme.

First we have the Kaiou, who're only about as strong as Nappa (if we take North Kaiou's PL in consideration). Then the Kaioushins oversee the whole universe, and are atleast 125,000 stronger than the Kaiou (I consider Kaioshin to be around a PL of 500 million, divide it by 4,000 of North Kaiou and you get 125,000) and not only that, but they live for millions of years compared to the "low" life expectancy of the Kaiou (75,000).

And now it turns out we have "Gods of Destruction" such as Bills, who are MASSIVELY stronger than the Kaioushin. Why do they have to be so powerful if their only duty is to destroy planets? Almost any character is capable of doing just that, and even Buu was enough to destroy Earth so there was nothing left of it.
Perhaps he needs extra power to destroy stars as well, without having to charge up all his power like Cell had to in order to do so.

Well, if they are in charge of keeping the balance, destroying when there are too much, you have to be strong enough not only to destroy the planet, but to kill any opposing parties as well. Kaio and the others are Gods in that they govern, I think, the people who die. They look so that when something happens they can try and fix it... I think... And the God of Destruction must be above them in strength as to oppose mere mortals. Actually, let's consider it this way. A God has to be more powerful than it's underlings, right? If there's something he has to do to help, he has to be stronger. Unfortunately Goku and the others (well some) always rise above those Gods, so there has to be another level of Gods that is even higher than they are. Just like Uisu is stronger than Bils.

I dunno, as far as I've seen, this is the first time Goku has actually fought a God (unless you sort of call Piccolo Daimaou a God, because he is sort of the other half of Kami, but okay) and for me this is also the first time I'm actually taking this God serious. Everything before Goku has almost always surpassed in a short while. And Kaioshin he was leagues above.

Hmm, maybe you're right.

Buu completely destroyed Earth, without leaving a trace. However, when it comes to destroying the sun, it's required to use over 3 billion times the energy required for earth. Which is still way too insane for DB, lol. So I guess Bills just destroys planets with magic?

Until someone figures out the name source, who knows? Until the Virus or Horus based idea gets debunked I'm using Birus. But, that's just me.

I'm going with "Bruce" and "Willis" just because those should have been their names to begin with, kana be damned.

Honestly if you expect linearity out of going from a power level of 5, which can't even produce Ki, to 180, which can destroy the moon, you are out of your mind. Cell destroying the Sun isn't hard to believe at all. In fact I think Cell is powerful enough to supercharge the sun and make it go Supernova.

I don't see what could be the inconsistency problem with years and Birus' 39 years-long nap. I don't know years in DB well, but in all cases, Birus' remark seems perfectly normal to me.

Do you guys assume that since Birus has said "has Freezer destroyed planet Vegeta?", he went to sleep just BEFORE that event, knowing that Freezer was on his way?
To me, his sentence is more like revealing that he went to sleep years before that event, just perfectly predicting how that alliance would end up in a few years, hence his remark about Freezer and Saiyans both being evil bastards, like saying "all of this mess could only end that way, just like I predicted back then".

If he went to sleep AFTER that event, then to me him asking the question would just be a waky-waky moment where he still tries to gather his thoughts and memories.
Like when you get out of a long slumber or coma and have to ask "Had we decided to celebrate X's birthday a few days ago? Was there a sort of party? Did I cross the street? Did a car hit me?".
Just time to figure out that the last remnants of memories coming back to you did actually happen and were not some kind of dream.

As for Goten and Trunks, their size will increase from child to adult-like teen in a matter of three years if it's like Goku, and the movie has to take place at least 5 years before we see them in the epilogue, so it's all just fine.

Well, at the very least "Birisu" or "Bilis" are flat-out wrong.

These are all of the romanizations you could get out of ビルス:
Bils, Bills (This one is a bit of a stretch since there's no double l in the Katakana), Beers, Birus, Virus/Veerus, Bilus, Birs, Birusu, Birsu, Bilsu, Vilus/Veelus

Haha, I wish we knew the pun source so there could be a set one.

Things are temporarily slowing down again. I only had two pages to catch up with after sleeping the night.

But the next preview showing is on the 16th and I know I read yoyocom (who has that blog) is going to that.
I can't wait for the full nationwide release; pixiv's gonna explode with BOG art (or at least I hope). I really want to see fanart of some of these movie scenes.

Looks real as far as I can tell, just based on how much it looks like the other TV show shots we've gotten before. Where'd you find this? :o

If so, yellow irises and pupils! O_O

I thought Kei said the hair was purple-red and had a flame aura though?

Didn't Kei say purple red hair? If so it could be fake.
