She's credited, so I'd assume so. Hopefully she'll actually get to do something this time.

Just when I was beginning to have some faith in the Resurrection of Frieza Movie, Toriyama goes and f##ks it all royally up!

Have you guys read the spoilers? I mean, WOW even by DBZ standards this is stupid. Vegeta fans are gonna hate this movie...

[CyberCubed]

Are you referring to the new transformations?

Spoiler:

Blue-hair Super Saiyan God is apparently what the Red hair form from the last movie is while already being in powered-up Super Saiyan mode.

If you're referring to who is the one who finally defeats Freiza for good? Are you really surprised? I would have liked to see someone else be the hero for once but its expected.

Where'd you find that? I can't did it anywhere.


Edit:nevermind I found the sh*t

The only treatment of Vegeta that would annoy me would be reverting his character growth. Him (eventually, begrudgingly) accepting he's outclassed by Goku, developing real emotional bonds and becoming an actual hero is what redeems him and makes him more interesting, IMO.

[MrTMNT2012]

I actually don't mind the Blue-hair thing. The analogy with the flame aura is probably the smartest design choice Toriyama has come up with yet!

It's the hack time travel thing I'm seriously tired of. After Battle of Gods, I expected them to stop with this formulaic storytelling BS but nope I guess Toriyama is just THAT disconnected with his fans...

[CyberCubed]

Also apparently Gohan doesn't do as badly in the movie as thought

I think fans not liking it is a case of fans still taking DBZ too seriously. Like stated many times in the thread things got plenty of ridiculous as the show went on so yeah this movie is ridiculous and you need to see it as nothing but fan service a "one more time" type of thing and not the continuation of the storyline, that's how I see it since things are only going to get more out there as they make these movies, but they're once every so often events and not weekly episodes. If you are ok with Freeza reviving and being a threat again or with the past movies god mode then you shouldn't have a problem here. I actually only really enjoyed the last movie because it was so comedy oriented like Vegeta's brother special. Supersaiyan god form with blue hair? Makes no sense but still awesome. But goes to show how SSJ4 is by far the least offender of power ups for GT haters. Enjoy it for what it is. The Z-fighters being jobbers and Goku taking the glory is nothing new and is not going to change.

I mean, it's a series full of characters with theme/pun names and one of the last "big bads" turned people into candy. At its best it's always had a huge sense of humour about itself. "Battle of Gods" was mostly a comedy, and that's what I loved about it too.

If it's got big action, genuine emotion, treats (most of) the characters well and has a solid sense of humour I'm sure it'll be very enjoyable.

Here we go:


To be honest this is my new favourite Transformation! Still highly skeptical about the movie though...

[CyberCubed]

Notice the Japanese guy on the bottom laughing once he see's the blue Super Saiyan Goku.

[oldmanwinters]

Last week, I bought the Dragonball "Season 2" blue brick DVD boxset from a pawn shop for $4. It was the last batch of episodes I didn't own on DVD (for most of the reason, I've got the old "saga sets"). It's enjoyable to watch Goku take out the entire Red Ribbon Army again. But this time, I can see it with subtitles for a more accurate translation.

I was always curious why DBZ tried to revive the Red Ribbon connection by mentioning Dr. Gero as the original creator of all the androids, but that's clearly not in continuity with the established Dragonball canon. I assumed it came about through poor translations that created more problems than it solved.

i'm so happy to have the Funimation App on my PS4! been watching DBGT

[DarkFell]

Is there a Cell God transformation in this movie? I liked him in the series for some damn reason.

Oh here, Cell's Theme Dubstep Remix for anyone that is interested. It's what I'm currently listening to at the moment.

Don't worry; I won't put any more music videos into this thread; I am aware that there is a thread for that.

[MrTMNT2012]

A certain training scene has been leaked and honestly...this is all I wanted out of this movie!

Actual character development, plot progression and introspective dynamics being explored. Also, apparently Vegeta has the single best scene in the entire movie so I'm happy with that even though I haven't seen it yet...

Most importantly,

Spoiler:

Vegeta can go SSJ2 while in SSG mode whereas Goku can only go SSJ1!

[CyberCubed]

But I don't get it, isn't Goku still stronger since he can go Super Saiyan 3 and Vegeta cannot?

[Mew]

I want to see the new movie.
I get Funimation E-mail updates though!

Technically yes, but I don't think we know enough about god form to know what happens there. As in does god from just turn their ki into god ki or does it turn it into god ki and give them a huge power up? I actually think it's the latter, but still as far as I know, there isn't a definite answer.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder how many of these movies they will make. There will probably be at least one more (to make this a trilogy) but after that who knows.

Its funny how that one special in 2008 with Vegeta's brother and Trunks/Goten fighting a Freeze henchmen is what acted as a springboard for these new movies.

New series announced, Dragonball Super

After 18 years, an all-new Dragon Ball TV anime series was announced. Titled "Dragon Ball Super" this series takes place a few years after the end of the Majin Buu Saga.

Masako Nozawa will once again voice Goku, Gohan, and Goten in the new anime and commented, "We've always used the word 'chō' (Super) with Dragon Ball in commercials, games and the like, but the fact that the series titled Dragon Ball Super is beginning is the best thing ever."

Long time Dragon Ball animator Mitsuaki Kido will series as the animation producer. Dragon Ball Super is set to premiere in July on Fuji TV and other channels.
