BUYING DRAGON BALL Z BATTLE OF GODS ENGLISH DUB FULL MOVIE MOVIE
A movie really only for the established fan base. The film feels bogged down at some points, especially in the Emperor Pilaf sequences. While a lot of the fight scenes are fluid and excellently done, there are a couple that are a bit uninspired. + Perfectly balances elements of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Jason Douglas is the other standout of the film, perfectly capturing the playful yet terrifying nature of the villain, Beerus. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is Sean Schemmel's best work to date, he does fantastic work here and proves why he's widely considered to be the definitive Goku. I was thrilled to see Goku and all of the characters again. Regardless, I loved every minute of it admittedly due to my own personal nostalgia. In my opinion, they should have trimmed that down, and kept in some Beerus' backstory they cut out and the scene where Hercule is drunk and challenges him, the only scene in the entire film where Hercule actually speaks. The biggest mistake in the 85 minute cut is that the Pilaf material runs too long, taking away 10-12 minutes in one long sequence from the movie. There were some pacing issues in the original 85 minute cut (the comedy material), so the 106 minute cut can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially since those extra 20 minutes are almost exclusively comedy segments. Included with this set are both the original 85 minute theatrical cut, and the 106 minute uncut edition. Is he up to the task? Can Goku make it back to Earth to defend his friends and planet? What and who exactly is the super saiyan god and can it stop Beerus from destroying the Earth? With Goku out of commission, it's up to Vegeta (voiced by Chris Sabat) to defend the earth against the god of destruction. Beerus decides to visit Earth eventually making it to Bulma's birthday party. Whis informs Beerus that there are several more saiyans gathered together on Earth. Beerus deduces that Goku can't be a super saiyan god with such pathetic strength. Goku attacks but can't land a single hit, and with a flick of his finger (literally), Goku is put into the ground, unconscious. Goku powers up to super saiyan 3 and is baffled that Beerus has remained in the same stance, calm and collected, since he arrived. Once again, Goku being Goku, he jumps at the opportunity to challenge Beerus to a fight. King Kai's fears become realized when the god of destruction appears before them. Goku, through King Kai's telepathy, finds out about Beerus being awoken and in typical Goku fashion, is overjoyed at the prospect of finding a new challenge, despite King Kai's warnings against doing so.
Along with Whis, Beerus decides to track down the saiyan whom defeated Frieza: Goku. Beerus concludes that the one whom defeated Frieza must be the super saiyan god. The only absence, of course, is Goku (voiced by Sean Schemmel), who's busy training his life away on King Kai's (also voiced by Sean Schemmel) planet.Įlsewhere, a god with the likenesses of a cat, Beerus (voiced by Jason Douglas), dubbed the God of destruction, is awoken from a several decade long slumber by his assistant, Whis (voiced by Ian Sinclair), due to the premonition of a mythological figure called the "Super Saiyan God." Upon being awoken, Beerus discovers that Frieza, one of the most ruthless villains in the galaxy, has been defeated, by a saiyan no less. Sometime between the ten year gap between the end of the Buu saga and the world martial arts tournament that capped the Z series, our heroes are enjoying peaceful times by enjoying a day at Capsule Corp, celebrating Bulma's (voiced by Monica Rial) birthday. Nearly two years ago, Akira Toriyama decided to make the first Dragon Ball related animation in 18 years, after an insanity of fan demand, FUNimation has finally licensed both versions of the film for North American audiences.
The popularity was so high in fact, that most credit the Dragon Ball franchise as the main reason for the popularity of anime as a whole. Fifteen years ago, DBZ was the juggernaut of anime.
