Goku's Mom and Possibly a New Movie

[BlazingBarrager]

Taken from DeviantART that was posted by a friend of mine.

So, was browsing Twitter and it seems someone got a hold of the new Saikyo Jump issue with the Episode of Bardock "Super Kanzenban" and interview with Toriyama, and well... it revealed the name of Goku's mother....

She is officially "Gine" (ギネ, pronounced like ghi-neh). She is not cut out for fighting due too being gentle. She used be a member of Bardock's team and they both "developed some feelings" for for each other after Bardock saved her several times. It was a rare case for Saiyans, who normally don't develop male-female relationships except for for "breeding purposes". She can be found in the bonus pages of the Jaco the Galactic Patrolman volume out this April in Japan.

Said interview also mentions that if there is a project of a next movie, he will cast Vegeta as the protagonist in it. It is still totally unknown whether there is going to be a new movie, but it seems that they are thinking about it at least.

So what are your thoughts on this?

I'm sure that was an interview about the furture of 'Jaco the Galactic Patrolman' and the voice comic it's reciving...

The only new Bardock info I've heard is about him being put into Dragonball hero's... I seriously doubt it's true.

[BlazingBarrager]

I guess the only way we can be sure is to wait for April to come.

hmmmm maybe it's his turn to go god....

tbh i don't even like the form of god...it looks like something kaioken could have been.
It does not look cool either.

i kind of agree, also the way you get it is kinda dumb, but it's w.e

[BlazingBarrager]

I actually like it. It's not too bulky like LSSJ and you stick to your normal appearance. It was also what Akira Toriyama designed. Oh, and in the original concept he was going to wear a freaken cape.

As for how you get it...well it does make sense. I mean if Goku got it the normal way he would be using it nonstop. It keeps the form from being overpowered and overused unlike SSJ4.

what is dumb ? it does look like something kaioken could be because they both generally have red aura...
and it DOES not look cool at all. other than that how do you see it ?

Omg a cape.
That would have been horrible.
Good point on the way of achieving SSJG tho.

I tried to sharpen the image and remove some of the blur but I have no clue how to read kanji so not sure if this makes it more readable or not, hope this helps someone!

ya I also agree personally the "God" form I just wish they updated Kaioken to look like this and they taught it to some other characters like Krililn and Tien or something so they can get a power up.

SSJ God should of looked different I don't know why Akira went with the red look, i know its different but its still to similar imo.

He mentioned in an interview about not wanting an over the top transformation like the others. He felt anything flashy wasn't needed... Plus it's only the colour that is similar in Kaioken and SSJG. The whole visual look is diffrent.

Here's an extract from an interview with Akira.

"Tell us why the hair color of Super Saiyan God is red!

Simply because it’s a strong-looking color. I had already used gold, and blue doesn’t look very strong. Visually-speaking, red really is easy to understand."

Well damn it's no movie, just another manga, they've been pumping these things out alot lately.
is akira possibly selling publishing rights?

"GOKU'S MOTHER WILL BE REVEALED SOON IN march 2014!
so far they have revealed her name ..its Gine

back-story

unlike other Saiyans, Gine has a gentle nature that is unfit for war. She is part of Bardock’s squad, and after being saved by Bardock on the battlefield several times they start to develop feelings for eachother. This type of sentimentality is rare for Saiyans, who normally don’t develop such relationships except when breeding.

Goku’s mother will appear in a bonus manga packaged together with Toriyama’s one-shot manga titled Jaco the Galactic Patrolman when it is released in a tankobon print collection on April 4."

Yea, Goku's mother is going to be an extra to that "Jaco" manga, but the whole thing about Vegeta being the protagonist of the next project could potentially be a movie, at least that is what people are currently speculating on kanzenshuu...

Here is the interview people wanted to see.

He Akira pretty much says IF there was a movie, though nothing has been set. He'd like him to be the next protag.



Also, you guys should really read the part about 'saiyan life span' and espesialy 'Freiza's race'. Akira put to bed a few fan theroies. Good stuff!

The first thing I thought when I read the opening post is, at the risk of sounding like a Feminazi, "Wow, that's really lame."

Dragon Ball has a pretty severe lack of strong female characters -- not in terms of physical strength, mind you, but mentality. That's not surprising since it's an old shounen, but a newly introduced character from a warrior race being little more than a meek love interest? It sounds like less a character and more an excuse to humanize a race of hardened, sadistic warriors. The notion of them once being "pure hearted" never sat right with me and neither does this. Badass action mom would have been preferable and I'm not looking forward to anything resembling an awkward love story.

So many new things.....ima explode of happiness if this continues X_X

Tell me about it. I get that this is a shounen, but come on. At least Dragonball Heroes did it with the female Saiyan avatars...sort of.
