Maron looks like a mini cross dressing Krillin doll with a blond wig
Master Roshi looks like he is saying "Fear My New walking Stick! It is now Purple!"

Videl with twin tails was pretty, prettier than Bulma in her young days imo.
Few girls can rock the twin tails properly(Videl, Rin Tousaka, Wendy).

Sasami from Tenchi Muyo rocked the twin tail look abit.
I wish they made Bulma have a haircut similar to when Goku was in the hospital after his fight with Vegeta(look at TFS Episode 11 at the 0:38 mark)
Tenshinhan has a different symbol too? But his looks familiar.
It really does but I can't place it and it doesn't make any of the character symbols that I see. Maybe I'm missing it or we know it from outside Dragon Ball for some reason.
I heard Goku doesn't go Super Saiyan in the movie is it true?
Goku and Vegeta both have a mark on their outfits. Symbol of them both training under a new master? Tenshinhan has a different symbol too? But his looks familiar.
And Videl's haircut is still dumb.
It's also just… weird... seeing Goku in something different. Yeah he had some variety as a kid, and a different outfit for GT, but he had the orange with blue trim gi for so long... even something similar but different is weird.
Yeah not digging the boots they should've just thrown it all the way back with Goku's outfit like they did with Krillen instead of going like 85% on it.
So muten roshi, krillin and ten shin han are in, yamcha is out.
And to think I initially mistook Gohan for Yamcha. . .

Apparently 天 is the han character for "Ten", (and also means Heaven) so… probably that. He wore something similar for about 10 seconds at the tournament after Goku grew up. May have also just seen it show up in some other series.
I like Goku's new boots. It's like he adopted Capsule Corp's fashion.
Pilaf is the only villain left in the universe who still has any interest in dragon balls, and therefore it is of no concern to the heroes. Seriously, what's the worst Pilaf can do, assuming no one interrupts him as usual? Wish Son Goku to become a child again or something?
Come on.
Wish for everybody to always do everything he says, effectively making him the supreme ruler.
Considering the limitation of the dragon balls: "Can't do things that are against the will of the wish target if they are stronger than Dende" I guess that also includes Dende.
Sheng Long is actualy pretty.. Lame.
Wishes Granted:
Revival: Ok this one is good, but 80% of the wishes come from here, and there's a bunch of restrictions
Panties: Did he generate them or he took them from some poor girl's posetion?
Rejuvenation: Seemed like pretty good healing
Android Bomb Removal: What happened with the bombs? Did he send them away, or just destroyed them?
Mr Buu's Memory Alteration: A mind wipe of global scale, what happened with the memories of the general population since Babidi's goons showed up in the tournament and they were revived? There's a big 3-7 days gap in their memories of hell?
Make me the King of Earth: The dog clearly used the dragon balls before the start of the history to alter everyone's memories so that the earth was united under his iron paw.
Personally I love Goku's new outfit… Still hope that Vegeta will be the one who defeats Frieza
What new symbol does Yamcha have?
So muten roshi, krillin and ten shin han are in, yamcha is out.
And to think I initially mistook Gohan for Yamcha. . .
If it weren't for the glasses and lack of the facial scar Gohan would essentially look like he swaggerjacked Yamcha's style.
OK, i think it's time for this almost-never posting dude to try derail this conversation about the new Dragonball movie which features anyone but Yamcha, on Yamcha.
I still don't get why everybody, starting with Toriyama, hates Yamcha so much. Well i guess most of the hate he gets spawns naturally from Toriyama's, but still: he was there from the beginning and playied a big role in all of DB. We are talking about when every single enemy with a name had to be taken down by Goku and Goku alone, and he still had his place. Reading all of Dragonbal from the beginning focusing on Yamcha is a big build up to… absolutely nothing. in the first part, if not the entire manga, he's one of the very few charachters who has his own style and comes up with his original moves, bit still proves to be a good pupil, humbling himself and accepting defeat as a feedback to get stronger, always putting up a fight and used as an effective hype tool for the new big bad, always hinting he had great potential and was actually pretty strong-
then Z comes around and... poof. aside from a cool designes who will influence little Gohan for all his life to come, he's suddenly a cocky and then whiny good-for-nothing who gets fodderized along his human fellows with the rise to the stage of the almighty saiyans, being them pedigree or half-breed. Even his training with Kaioh was a complete non sequitur.
Tien had it better only in terms of screen time, to be honest, but at least he kept his cool. the saddest thing is that Yamcha was one of the very few people in DB who had goals in life outside of trying to be stronger then Goku and eventually ending up sucking his dick, as in getting married and winning a budokai tenkaichi. he got neither. those fillers which tried to make him look good were so ridiculous that actually only added mockery to his misery.
I know many people who claim being DB fans never even saw or read the first part (pre-Z), and acual fans give him more benevolent indifference then hate, but still i think the poor guy needs some more recognition by now.
[DISCLAIMER: This rant comes actually from very little me finding a Yamcha figurine inside a fries pack and deciding he would be my favourite charachter, thus setting me for decades of disappointment.]
Rocking that tracksuit, eh Gohan?
Videl with twin tails was pretty, prettier than Bulma in her young days imo.
I was always a fan of her short haired design (beginning of the tournament to the end of Buu) myself.
I think it's because Yamcha is literally the expendable Z fighter. Throughout the entire series he's the one who the new opponent beats in order to prove that they are strong and a threat to the Z fighters. I don't hate Yamcha, I like his personality and his fighting style, it's just that unfortunately for him he's the lowest notch on the high jump that everybody gets to leap over to prove how strong they are.

Except for that time during the Piccolo Daimao saga and The Frieza saga.

I don't think it's that people hate Yamcha (well, at least I don't) it's just that there's the irrefutable fact that he never wins (except against Invisible Man). Not only in battles, but even in life; the woman he was dating ends up with the man responsible for his death. As such, it's just, you know, hard to ignore and it's become a recurring gag among the fandom.
And I was not aware that Toriyama hates Yamcha.
[DISCLAIMER: This rant comes actually from very little me finding a Yamcha figurine inside a fries pack and deciding he would be my favourite charachter, thus setting me for decades of disappointment.]
He's Robby's favorite character too. You guys should talk.
No one had it as bad as Launch. She just flat out got forgotten.
I still don't get why everybody, starting with Toriyama, hates Yamcha so much.
No idea what you're talking about. He's my favorite character in the series, by far.
Not only in battles, but even in life; the woman he was dating ends up with the man responsible for his death.
Saibaman? Dr. Gero? Buu?
Anyway, Yamcha actually does supposedly have a girlfriend, she just never appears on camera. Not even in filler!
"In the manga, Future Trunks states that after Bulma and Yamcha broke up, Yamcha found a new girlfriend. Although she never appeared in any Dragon Ball media, Yamcha's new girlfriend is mentioned at the end of the Cell Games Saga, when Shenron asks for a wish and Yamcha jokingly proposes he wish for a necklace for the said girlfriend. "
He's Robby's favorite character too. You guys should talk.
What he said.
What a great twist it would be if Yamcha's unnamed girlfriend ends up being Tights Briefs. To this date Yamcha still has no idea that he's dating Bulma's sister.

Blooma's family doesn't have a surname…
...but that would be funny...
@Yuugi's:

Bulma's dad is Dr. Brief. His wife is Mrs. Brief.
Their surname is Brief.
Just hope Yamcha's girlfriend isn't Puar.

"Yamcha, please don't make me turn into a sock again!"
Just hope Yamcha's girlfriend isn't Puar.
Given who (or what) Vegeta's brother married, nothing's off the tarble or uh table:ninja:.
"Yamcha, please don't make me turn into a sock again!"
If a sock is the only thing Yamcha can think of, he's really doing it wrong.
Panties: Did he generate them or he took them from some poor girl's posetion?
Android Bomb Removal: What happened with the bombs? Did he send them away, or just destroyed them?
Mr Buu's Memory Alteration: A mind wipe of global scale, what happened with the memories of the general population since Babidi's goons showed up in the tournament and they were revived? There's a big 3-7 days gap in their memories of hell?
Well, Oolong asked for a girl's panties, so i guess he did steal it from someone..Oolong wouldn't be so excited about it otherwise.
The bombs were probably just erased. Or exploded elsewhere.
As for the memory changes, think of it as Sugar's ability. The events still happened, but people didn't account Mr. Buu responsible for any of it.
Anyway, Yamcha actually does supposedly have a girlfriend, she just never appears on camera. Not even in filler!
He was probably making her up. Poor Yamcha!
Beyond that, the nature of the balls was supposed to be as a reward for someone questing and earning them, not just as a "undo all the deaths" button, so mostly it should be fine letting them scatter to the wind, barring the likes of Pilaf or Red Ribbon or Piccollo Sr. going after them.
I totally agree. That's exactly why the first wish was so hilarious. The reward for questing and earning them shall be… a girl's pants.
However, already the second wish made in the story was that generic "undo all the deaths". I think there should have been better thought-out limitations that would have prevented exactly that.
Besides, I don't really think it was a good idea to change to source of them from a mysterious untouchable force into some alien dudes the main characters can talk to and even befriend them. I wonder, why is that time limit of one year/several month still an issue after we have seen that the dragon basically is a mechanical construction which can quite easily get rebooted?
While there's obviously a mechanism and some magic involved, presumably it uses some of Kami's energy to run the balls and the dragon, otherwise it wouldn't stop functioning when he died.
So there's gotta be SOME limiter. Elder Kai complained about the breaking of the laws of nature as well. And the entire afterlife system with all the Kais…
Just because you can talk to the god of your planet doesn't mean you should be able and allowed to break everything completely willy-nilly. Having some limiter in there keeps things in check.
There's also what GT presented where the balls amass negative energy and need time to burn it off, (traditionally decades or centuries) but... that's GT.
The only non retarded plot point in gt, the artifact that bends the rules of nature to it's will has consequences!!!
There are limiters. It's just that the rules behind them are thought-out terribly.
Aside from the death issue, for example we have the case when the Saiyans are travelling towards earth. So you cannot outright kill them. Fine. But what about just sabotaging/removing their space pots? Or just letting appear a giant wall consisting of the hardest material possible right in front of them - instantly? Therefore, the whole "cannot kill stronger beings" limiter somewhat is pointless.
Freeza's next form to be shown in jump in two weeks:

Hopefully it's not just a halo effect like god was

Watch, it's just Cooler's transformation.

Did Toriyama himself create Cooler's design? He's shown total disregard for anything toei did (to his credit, although sadly he almost as often disregards his own work).
I can't see him reusing it unless it was his art to begin with
It'll be frieza's final form but with the tail on his head like with mega mewtwo Y
!
Gokuu and Vegeta are indeed being trained by Whis.

During the production of the older films the character design would be done by the current character designer (Maeda Minoru in the case of Coola), sent to Toriyama and he would do any corrections or changes to what he felt was better. Yamamuro Tadayoshi (character designer of all films since 1993) speaks about the process in more depth here.
@Yuugi's:
Wait, am I missing something? Why are Pilaf and the other two chibi?
Wait, am I missing something? Why are Pilaf and the other two chibi?
In Battle of Gods (the previous movie), they found the Dragon Balls during one of the time-skips and wished that they were younger, so Shenron turned them into kids.
Oh, I see. People keep talking about that movie, I guess I'll need to watch it sooner or later.

Ah, cheers for that.
I'd expect a new design for Freeza this time round then

It's a lot of fun. Yamadera Kou'ichi plays Beers with as much gusto as Nakao Ryuusei and Wakamoto Norio played Freeza and Cell respectively back in the 1990s.
Ah, cheers for that.

"In Weekly Jump issue #15, Freeza’s new evolution will be revealed…!?"
If it is not a new form, it is surely something worthy of being mentioned. A new form would be nice, but I kind of expect it to be nothing more than a new aura or type of ki.

This. To me it's also probably the best dragonball related thing since the evil king picollo arc
so much fun

Aura would be a bit of a let down since the promo picture already shows him with one.
Yamadera gives a very nuanced performance, too. Every delivery seems to have almost a double or subtle subtext to it. The audience can pick up his wry humor, but you kind of get the sense that the characters do not, which makes things even funnier.
Welp.

Bulma:
Hi there! Bulma here!
There are now 55 days until opening!
Today, Son-kun’s son, Gohan-kun, is here.
Gohan:
Hi, everyone! I’m Son Go—
Bulma:
Hold on a minute, Gohan-kun. What’s with that getup?
Gohan:
Well, when I heard that Freeza was back, I looked for my dōgi in a panic, but I couldn’t find it… all I had was this tracksuit.
Bulma:
Geez~ keep it together, will you?
That relaxed attitude of yours is just like your father’s!
Gohan:
Sorry… but Bulma, we’re in serious trouble!
Bulma:
That’s right! It’s a crisis for the Earth, so do your best and fight, Gohan-kun!
Gohan:
Let’s see… I think I can still become a Super Saiyan…
This time, everyone will have to to turn out in full-force if we want to win against Freeza’s 1000-strong army!
There are 55 days left, so I’ve got to do some serious training!
Gohan back to weakling again, they are gonna nerf him because Frieza 1000 army being as strong as Buu would be ridiculous…
That's the problem when ever character is super powerful. In theory, Frieza's army could get wiped out by either Goten, Trunks, Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and maybe even Piccolo but nope, the tension is needed.
If it means we get to see the side characters fight then i guess i don't mind as long as the fights are good. it's been a while since master roshi got involved.
18 is gonna be in the movie as well.

Wanna see Tenshinhan fight again, just how much his Kikoho improved.
Hi guys,
just watched Battle of Gods again - this time i watched the extended version. I really like the movie.
But it raises one question: Gohan turning Super Sayan. How is that possible?
Two years ago i read it is inconsitency on one site, on the other it was said, that gohan can turn, it just doesnt do anything exept changing his hair…
Can you help me here?
Thanx!

Nobody ever said it was impossible for Gohan to use Super Saiyan. Gohan turns into a Super Saiyan because it looks cool and somebody thought have everyone transform into Super Saiyans during the Super Saiyan God ritual would look cool, so it happened.
