I was a bit confused because how many times has he used spirit bombs to finish people...but I guess at the end when he thought of everyone, as usual, he succeeded. So just redeeming himself in that part? Idk. I just disliked the fighting part, everything else was fine.

penguintruth said: The only way you could say that Nozawa doesn't fit Goku is by not knowing anything about the character. Years of the English dub being wildly inaccurate and poorly voice acted have dulled your mental acuity. You obviously didn't read my post then, I said I could understand why people liked the voice. I just dont because in my perspective Goku isn't supposed to sound like a high pitched woman. It's just an opinion, no need to get all fuzzed up about it. English Dub has way more accurate voice actors in my opinion. And don't worry about my mental acuity, it's fine. Like I said, anyone can have an opinion about dubs, I just feel that English fits it more properly. |

| Didn't like it all that much. Meh, won't discuss the transformation, everything from SSJ3 and beyond looks like an ass-pull out of nowhere. The fusion was believable but joining hands to make a God is just... silly to me. Not to mention it's always a pain seeing side characters getting owned in an instant and then Goku saving the day. The only refreshing thing about this movie is that they didn't beat the ''villain'' at the end. A welcome change if you ask me. And why is Goku getting all the credit in killing Frieza? He defeated him yeah but give some credit to Future Trunks who finished him off. As a God shouldn't Bills know that? |
 |
| The movie was ok, I liked that Pilaf was in it. Would have have been funny if he got scared when seeing Piccolo since he has history with King Piccolo. Would think he more easily would remember him than Bulma. Gohan looked weak, he should be stronger than Vegeta at that point. Vegeta did a better job(even pre Bulma slap) against Bills than ssj3 Goku, he also implied that Gotenks was weaker than him. Kinda strange that Gotenks didn't go ssj3, maybe he wanted to wait with it like he did against Buu. Base Goku < Freeza still? According to Bills that's the case. Not a fan of the GT art. The characters are too glossy and theres too much cel shading. Goku and Vegeta also have huge chins which makes them look somewhat silly. I like the later dbz art the best but this looked more like GT. Not the biggest deal in the world though. Overall the movie was not bad and Bills is an interesting character. Hopefully they will make a new series based on this. |

| It was a fun watch. It was nice to see something different from the normal DBZ movies. You don't usually see the antagonist surviving and leaving the planet alone. Bills was a really cool character. I enjoyed the fight, more so when the music started playing. But I felt it could have been a little better. The CG felt kind awkward to me, but wasn't a big deal. I liked that part at the end where Bills was talking about the other universes. We will probably be seeing more movies focusing on that stuff. Vegeta is probably gonna become a SSJ God. Speaking of Vegeta I liked his scene when Bills slapped Bulma. It was nice to see that he has changed, became more light hearted and friendly. More human-like like Goku is. The dancing was so funny hahaha. Though I would have liked it if Toriyama himself wrote the script. I'm not sure how involved he was with the film, but I can tell that a lot of the ideas were his. |

I'm not sure how involved Toriyama was, but yeah, you can tell that he came up with a lot the ideas here. Bills and Whis seem like characters that Toiyama would have drawn in his prime, especially Whis's love for Sushi. |

| Well I enjoyed it. Fighting was cool, I liked God mode. Vegeta was hilarious and epicly awesome as usual. |

Yours actually shattered that barrier, sir, bravo. How can the English dub have more accurate voice actors if THE F***ING GUY WHO CREATED DB CHOSE THE JAPANESE VOICES? Well, to be honest, just Goku and Kuririn. But still. Man you really dislike any dub do you? It is my opinion that the English dub has more accurate voice actors, because I think those voices fit the characters more. And opinions can not be wrong, you just don't like my opinion so you want to prove me wrong, which is impossible in this case. I really couldn't care less whether you like the English dub or not. Try to convince another "DB/Z fan" to prefer subs over dubs, you've failed here. |

Bolded: Yes I've thought of that too, when he said that I was a little shocked, because that's so not like him at all. The way I see it, that's because Genki Dama is a skill that he learned by himself (being trained by Kaioh-sama, of course, but still) while SSGod is a transformation that was handed to him. He didn't earn it like he did with the other transformations or the Genki Dama. Goku didn't need any help to achieve Super Saiyan 1, 2 or 3, he did it all by himself, they were his achievements, while Super Saiyan God wasn't. I think that's why he was upset. |

And the word ''accurate'', I don't think it means what you think it means. In this case, if in Japanese audio the character says one thing and in dub the character says another, it is more correct to take Japanese audio as a true line and accurate in canon sense. Because that is how originally was intended to be said. You can say that you like the ''sound'' of the characters with English dub more, but accurate? No. |
|
MY opinion is that I think it's more accurate ... thus an opinion. I guess I formulated it wrong, my bad. But if you put it that way .. I like the English dubbed version more than the Japanese dub. Also the reason why I reacted like that is mainly because this penguintruth guy is clearly a Dub hater, as he's stated not only on MAL but multiple sites. |

yungstud said: Like how did Goku over power that fire ball Bills threw at the Earth or transition between god and ssj 1 and still compete, just seems a bit ass-pull-ish. The underlined part was actually explained though. Goku unknowingly absorbed the power of the God-form into his body during the fight, and so his power didn't drop all that much even after the transformation expired. Beers explains all this while Goku is struggling to stop his final attack. penguintruth said: Actually, Masako Nozawa's Goku voice is the only one that suits the character. If you don't think it fits, then you don't understand what Goku is about. Toriyama himself picked Nozawa. In all fairness though, Nozawa is getting pretty old, and it does sort of show in her performance in this movie. Now don't get me wrong, it's still a great performance on the whole, but like, just compare the "Ka... me... ha... me... HA!!" at the very, very end, to other instances of Goku using that move in the show. It sounds notably less powerful. Or more specifically, she's gone from yelling "HA!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of her lungs, to a much less powerful "Huwah!"-sort of yell. Again, not complaining, just pointing out that she isn't able to deliver them battle-yells quite as well as she once did. |
| I guess age can be a big factor in voice acting. |

| The only outstanding movie in the dragon ball franchise i can think of, is the first film with Broly. Never did i see something like that, for me it was the perfect Dragon Ball movie. Anyway, this one was nice and nostalgic. That Goku, never changes :) |
 |
| I don't know why some people still couldn't accept that Goku was holding up fine against Bills in SSJ. They even went the extra mile to explain it. The movie felt nostalgic and fresh to me. I liked the fact that for the first time in a DB movie, Goku lost. I guess some people would still prefer the old overused formula. Although I didn't like the design of SSJGod that much, I still appreciate that it's there. I'd rather have something new in the movie than just Goku turning SSJ3 or fusion to beat the opponent. I doubt it'll ever appear again though due to Goku's saiyan pride, which is good because it kinda felt like a cheap move so I know where Goku's coming from. Overall I liked the movie. I didn't regret watching it. Certainly didn't feel like a waste of time. I'm an old time fan so this brought back a lot of memories. 8/10 |
| That was actually pretty fun to watch! Vegeta dancing so much win!!! XDD The CG though..i was expecting some great visuals like from the first teaser :/ they looked like DBZ game CG. Quite a good watch :) 7/10 |
| God this movie was fucking hilarious. I love Toriyamas humor, he knows how to put in humor. |
 |
| That was very good and was so nostalgic!! There are are 12 universes in total and Bill is the god of the 7th universe O_o Woah, makes me think that his teacher, Whis, is like the god of all universes.....or at least more of a higher rank..... |

| The Vegeta fangirl in me is so happy with this movie I could just pop!!!~~~ Did you see his face at the end! So cute! v(^_^) I also liked Lord Bills, very likeable character. I can tell they put a lot of thought into this one. Didn't have as much of a "generic conflict" feel to it. Lots of nice character development, too. |

| Really wasn't expecting Goku to actually lose at the end! I knew Bills wouldn't actually destroy the Earth, but I also wasn't really expecting him to fall to Friendship no Jutsu (usually that's Naruto's thing). I'm intrigued and would like to see more of these sorts of stories. I'm glad that the movie's actual canon, too, so it's not in that weird non-canon zone of lost time and weirdness. 4/5 |
| very good DB Movie loved every minute of it. |
 |
| Really enjoyable. Started it out not expecting much, but it really was nostalgic like others have said. It reminded me of the buu saga. and speaking of....looool |
| Loved the movie 10/10 - I love DBZ but I grew tired of the generic pattern of how their movies plays out. Finally for once we see how Goku and the others deal with the realization that there is someone more powerful than they are. It kinda puts them in their place and it's refreshing. - I wasn't that disappointed in the SSJ God mode image because it may showcase simplicity but underneath it overflows with immeasurable power only gods can attain. I'd probably be more disappointed if Goku's SSJ GM image would be too flashy and too conspicuous. I'm so jaded with all the emphasis put auras, muscles, size, lightning, hair length and every other power up every anime has adopted. It's all cosmetic anyway. - The villain or antagonist in the story wasn't really a bad guy, just a god who is bored and wants a challenge worthy of his attention. Gods play a role as sorts because it's their purpose and being a god of destruction means he has to destroy whether he likes it or not. Thank goodness his image wasn't that too emphatic compared previous foes. I like it when they hide potential in forms that are normally overlooked or perceived as weak. |

| Watched DBZ dubbed Japanese for the first time It took a little time to adjust, but I heard Goku's voice from games before This was certainly nostalgic and a tribute especially at the ending credits showing the complete manga collection flipped page by page fast forwarded Seeing Vegeta being humble and trembling in fear, since the Frieza Saga was wonderful He and Shenron were totally out of character Lord Pilaf and his gang showing up brought back Dragonball for me Mai ending up with Trunks was hilarious Episode centering food was nice too And the show off bingo with the wealth jokes outside the party was nice Have mixed feelings about Goku's transformation to a god, but the fights were ok Even knowing it wouldn't be something like the first Saga Vegeta having a lil bro around is new to me, same as the information about Lord Bill being the 7th god in the Dimension with Whis as his teacher Lord Bill looks like an Egyptian god or a Pokemon btw Hopefully some room for future Saga's, but I think the author is done with it writing a new Manga Videl's baby is the future Pai right? |

| Wow, that was actually really good. Surprisingly good. There wasn't that much fighting, which is interesting considering it's a Dragon Ball Z movie. The thing that interested me the most about this movie is the lore behind the other Hakaishins and, character wise, Whis. Can't wait to see the other movies, if they do end up releasing more. |
| This was quite an enjoyable movie of the whole movie series! The God power and the red hair/glow sure maid it quite interesting and well the fight itself was sure lovely! It was nice to see everyone back again and even Pilaf and his gang :p they sure made it even better! The animation and art were impressive making this a quite lovely movie! I especially loved the ending credits with covering the manga in short! Well this sure was a nice finish of the Dragon Ball Z series so lets see what GT and Kai later on have to offer! |

Hate to break it to ya man, but if he were to do that, he would be contradicting himself. Because like it or not, Pan is in the manga. She appears in the final three chapters. |
| All in all I felt it was pretty good. Definitely not the cash cow movie people originally thought it would be. |
 |
| I want to see Broly VS. Bills. |
| Bills slapping Bulma was hilarious XD 8/10 |
| Nice to see the DBZ crew back, however this movie was kind of disappointing. The action scenes were great but the plot and specially the ending were not that great. The scene were Vegeta was trying his best not to upset Bills was hilarious. |
Aichiro said: I want to see Broly VS. Bills. Why? Instant win for Bills obviously. |
| Almost a must watch for any Dragon Ball 'old time' fan, definitely worth it. Animation is top notch, story is quite basic, but you get to all if not almost all main DBZ characters (from Buu saga at least) and hear them joke around, see them fight etc, the usual =) |

| The comedy was fantastic. The whole theater was laughing throughout the movie. The plot and end of the fight however, were not. I was sort of disappointed in that regard. But I feel like the movie was more of a homage to those who've watched DBZ throughout the years, and as someone who has, I enjoyed the heck out of it. I'm very happy to say I was able to see it in theaters. |
| Actually waited until this movie was dubbed to watch it with my friends on the big screen. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely freaking yes!!! A lot of old faces show up, great humor, and the actual God x God action was pretty good! Great movie! 9/10. |
| This movie was a lot of fun. Our theater was laughing like crazy during the comedy bits, which is always nice. I did feel the final battle and the whole concept of God Goku was just eh though. I was hoping for a crazy trasnformation with the monkey tail ala SS4. But hey I still had fun and was totally worth it seeing on the big screen. |
