  • Lately I've been going through the old Dragon Ball Z movies and figured I should round out the year with Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. Considering I have also reviewed the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie, it seemed fair.
    Sit back, relax and enjoy this weeks installment into the Anatomy of Anime. With Totally Not Mark's review of Battle of Gods.

    I feel like Mark missed the point of the saiyan god transformation. Its meant to highlight that some things can't be achieved alone, and that every needs support from time to time. The movie highlights Goku's pride with his disappointment that he couldn't reach the transformation by himself. Beerus even calls him out on it by saying Goku should be happy that he has people to lend him strength. The transformtaion isn't foreshadowed, yes, but it does serve a place int he narrative and characters of the series. Its not just a flashy transformation for the sake of having a transformation (hello SS3).

      Yeah the Super Saiyan God transformation is amazing in its simplicity and its dependence on others. So much of Dragon ball is about showing teamwork is for the weak, and only used to slow the villians down until Goku powers up enough to defeat the foe. (Or in one case Gohan).
      I wish The red was not only the strongest form, but also the only way to achieve godhood. Super Sayain Blue in comparison is SUPPOSE to be a god transformation. And SUPPOSE to be stronger than the red, but in all honesty it just feels like another Super Saiyan transformation. Only much later because we never see the effort it takes to become it, nor how it differentiates itself from all other transformations until the tournament at the end, where he combines it with the Keikoken. And even that is over shadowed immediately by the Ultra Instimvt that Goku pulls out of his ass.

      @Nexus Mania Because it's a valid transliteration of the Japanese name and it was chosen before there was a worldwide consensus on what his name meant. The original "Birusu" was meant to be a play on "virus", but then became a play on "beer", and all the GoDs and Angels have names based on alcoholic drinks. "Beerus" in English makes this play on words obvious, but in Spanish or Portuguese, neither "Bills" nor "Beerus" has any meaning or similarity to any word in those languages, so it makes no difference which one they chose.

    My only gripe was when they decided to infamously retell the whole movie as Super's beginning with poor animation and pacing. When in reality Super should have started right after the movie, because they really tainted any of the magic the movie gave and because of it, only after the Berus arc do I consider anything else after that true canon. They really dropped the ball on Super's beginning and it rightfully pissed fans off.
    I hope when Super starts up again they refrain from retelling Broly's introduction and just let the series start after the movie, god forbid they pull that last stunt again. Do it right or don't bother.

      After the Beerus arc they retell the awful Resurrection of F, so most of the first half of Super is a waste of time. However, they did have to retell some of it to make it fit canon. Removing mention of Vegeta's non-existent brother, for instance.

Adding some of the cut content into the t.v. series would please a lot of people

    I think what's special about Battle of Gods is that it FEELS like a continuation of the franchise.
    In a world where companies milk nostalgia and creators are not allowed to develop characters beyond their status quo because of their status as icons, Battle of Gods dragon punches that trend. It doesn't rely on a previous fan favorite character coming back, it introduces a new enemy who fits into the world and has a unique personality that makes him immediately iconic. The villain pushes the two main characters in new directions, Vegeta surpasses Goku in a moment when trying to protect his family and Goku is forced to use a power he doesn't want to do the same. At the end of it all, it expands the universe while conveying the message from the very beginning of the series, that there is always something higher to aim for.
    I don't think you give enough credit to SSG being acknowledged as unearned in-universe. That's exactly what made it memorable for me. Like I said, it put Goku's character into a situation he's never been in, and I would've loved to see where he went from there... too bad Super ditched that plot point and refused to develop characters because of their status as icons.

      In a way they are all connected but just not in the one we have in terms of story. Now toriyama and toyotama have opened up the possibility of alternate timelines and dimensions; anything could be canon or non-canon if they wanted.
      Even Ultra Instinct itself has nods to stuff from non canon stuff like false super saiyan from the slug movie (super saiyan hair, but not yellow) or say 3 saiyans giving their combined power to goku to give him enough power to beat a foe? No I'm not talking about super saiyan god, i'm on about the original broly movie.
      Speaking of which, broly is now canon; as is the tv special "yo! Son goku and his friends return!" which has tarble who they mentioned in super. Dragonball is interesting because it can be canon and non-canon if it wanted. It's honestly pretty clever.

      Dragonball crosses over with itself more than any other anime; sadly in some areas there isn't enough information about it so we have to include non-canon stuff to fill the blanks until it's retconned, because otherwise we'd have nothing.
      The biggest offender is frieza's race, we know little beyond king cold, frieza and that king cold gave birth to frieza. But in the non-canon we found that they can gain forms beyond final (cooler) and even grow hair.
      *TLDR* : I'm not right to include non-canon stuff, but if it's all we got it's better than nothing. How knows? Maybe it will be canon, broly did; why not cooler? :D

    I think what makes Super Saiyan God my favorite form of Goku's is that with how it was obtained, it felt as if all of these people that Goku has met, how they impacted his life and how he impacted theirs, came to a literal full circle, with them all standing together. Like the form is one big celebration of everything that happened in Dragon Ball so far.

    Nice review, although as an animation student, I must Disagree with the 2D vs 3D argument. 2D animation is an INCREDIBLY costly process, requiring dozens of man-hours and animators to create a shot. More often than not animators get paid basically minimum wage in order to cut down on production costs. There are many stories of people in Japan and Korea being paid less than minimum wage to be animators, especially in Anime. On the other hand 3D enables smaller teams to do much more in less time, while even still producing great-looking results. Even better, projects like Spiderverse, DBFZ, and Paper Plane have demonstrated the viability of 2D-style 3D, meaning that it may soon be possible to create 2D-style animation with the accessibility of 3D

      They should have made SSGSS the proto version of SSG. Meaning that Blue should have been made weaker than Red but far easier to obtain, thereby making blue a more optimal and cost effective transformation while keeping SSG as impressive and renowned by Beerus and whis as it is. This could have also led to them achieving mastery of SSG far later in the series and not just a transformation that is overlooked in the grand scheme of things, while SSGSS a more jack of all trades God transformation that could be utilized in scenarios like the TOP for if they don’t want to expend as much energy during combat

Then I saw Toriyama was going to be behind the production and writing of the film so I got even more excited it’s a continuation of DBZ that’s cannon. I hated the fact I had to almost wait a whole year to see it for the US release cause everyone was giving it high praises online. Once I finally did I was 1 year past graduating High School and got more excited seeing a movie of a show that I grown up with in my childhood than any movie that came out that year. Going into the theater I expected many just a handful of people to be there but to my shock the place was full, and I was really happy to see that. Coming out of the theater I was like “yes Dragon Ball is back! Super Saiyan God was ok but hey new transformation and new well designed characters. Beerus is super cool not sure if he’ll be a favorite tho.” 6 years later I adore Super Saiyan God a lot and get more excited seeing that than Super Saiyan Blue, I lost my shit when we finally got to see Vegeta in the form in DBS Broly, and Beerus is now my 2nd favorite Character in all of Dragon Ball. This possibly the most important movie for DB, it’s my favorite DBZ movie and my 2nd outta all in the entire franchise right behind DBS Broly. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

    My short take of the movie
    Some of the things I liked:
    - The Pilaf group, every aspect of their interactions was a great throwback to classic Dragonball
    - Vegeta's character development was a joy to see
    - Beerus is actually a pretty respectable and interesting character in the Dragonball universe, even if I'm not the biggest fan of Super
    - Videl being pregnant is just nice to see considering what we know about Pan
    Some of the things I didn't like as much:
    - The new form was unnecassary and detracted from the movie and franchise as whole imo
    - The things needed for the form to take felt contrived and out of touch with the series
    - In general, the whole story and reason for Beerus being there felt contrived as well
    - For me, there wasn't that feeling of tension you usually get from Dragonball. The thought of Beerus destroying the world on a whim instead of based on a reason is too absurd in proportions for me to intellectually enjoy and reason with

Dont get me wrong I feel like he should have gotten it as well, but Goku earned it as well training hard n all just like Vegeta and don't bring up the whole "THATS MY BULMA" scene, if it was chichi getting slapped Goku would have stopped Beerus as well considering this was before Super Goku was dumbed down, this was Z Goku

      @@Ghenol Vegeta has grown more as a person throughout the entire series than any other character and has become a true good guy. Vegeta has more than earned the chance to steal Goku's spotlight at least once.

      Oh dont worry im not trying say that Vegetas character growth was bad, but im just tired of people zaying shit about Goku even though hes a more deep character once you look at it, they just takes things to value, not trying shit on Vegeta im just tired of em Goku haters and your comment somehow pissed me off, Im sorry and have a good day/night

    So just subbed just now! I love how candid you are, and it shows! Please keep up the great work!
    Btw shame on me, but I've been watching since the power level series.. Lmao muh bad!
    But if you could do 2 more for that series *probably impossible*
    1. SS rage trunks.
    2. Gohan vs ssgss Goku
    I would most likely crap my big boys pants.

    I remember when they announce this movie, I was at high school and all of my friends, family and myself included couldn't contain our emotion to watch a new adventure of Goku reaching new heights and they delivered with this one... Also I grew up with the mexican spanish dub of Dragon Ball Z and I still watch Super with spanish voices from time to time and we called Beerus, Bills, since this movie.
    At first I thought this was some censorship because his name comes from beer but I don't think that's the case.

    In the LatAm dub he's called Bills mostly because it's a direct pronunciation of his Japanese name and some of the techniques are called by their original names as well, sooo don't worry it just depends on the country

    I can never forget how me and all of my friends sat together and watched this movie back to back twice. That was something special. ❤️
