Uh, I think I'm going to have to get used to Gohan's character design...

Not bad for the cast list there, some promising talent there.

No big surprises. It's neat seeing Nakai in Dragonball due to his long running role in One Piece.

Does Bulma looked younger again? She already looked younger in the Buu Saga after the time skip, but this again? And we know that she will look like the age she is a few years later.

By the way, it's good to see that Yuko Minaguchi reprises her role.

The character designs look a bit confusing, canon-wise. Bulma and Videl look younger than they did in the Majin Bū arcs, although the film supposedly takes place afterwards, in the time-gap between Kid Bū's defeat to Ūb's appearance in the Tenchi Budōkai.

Nakai Kazuya is in this film, ha? Does his character wield a sword? Laughing

Krillin is the strongest human fighter? I always thought that was Tien due to his constant training (being able to harm Cell with a Life-Force Ki Attack, and each scene where he shows up while not in the conflict after the Frieza Saga usually shows him in some sort of pilgrimage or training) so that's interesting, especially when Krillin went home to become a family man.

So Im guessing that semi dreamcast symbol is the Saiyan logo. I prefer Goku's new looks than the blue one after the 10 year time skip. Always made the joke that he was retired/washed up. lol Vegeta with the modernized gear. Looks good. Gohan could have just asked Piccolo for new clothes. Silly excuse. Toriyama didn't forget Tien. Mai. Mai. Mai.

She looked younger in the Buu saga? lol She looked her age no more than Chi-Chi did. This new pic actually makes her look younger. lol

The character designs are...interesting. I had to scroll down just to be sure that really was supposed to be Gohan, and for some reason Bulma and Videl actually look younger than at the end of the series. And I guess Krillin got tired of that hair he had during the Buu saga.

It did say "the strongest human warrior trained under the tutelage of Master Roshi." Tien didn't train under Roshi so he doesn't count? Either way I refuse to believe that Krillin is stronger than Tien.

^The japanese entry on the website is more clear. It calls Krillin the strongest human warrior.

I think it's most likely the symbol for Whis, which Goku and Vegeta are taking because they're training under him.

Thats possible. I was thinking that since Goku and Vegeta are training together, Vegeta would reveal that the Saiyans have a logo, and since they are the last 2 full-blooded Saiyans, who are actually training together and getting new clothes, they should wear that symbol proudly. Due to Toriyama forgetting and adding stuff later, it sounded possible.

Kind of funny seeing Kazuya Nakai voice a character that doesn't look anything CLOSE to a badass, but hey he is my second favorite Seiyuu (followed by Tomokazu Seki) so who am I to complain?
