My favorite part of the movie was piccolo hearing that they were going to kidnap pan, and then his thought is "yeah, good idea, if I kidnap his daughter he'll stop being such a massive nerd". It's so funny.
Doing the detached index finger trick doesn't make me stronger but I haven't forgetten how to do that. People don't forget about normal stuff their body can do just because they haven't done it in a while.
it def makes him slower and a bigger target best for becoming a big bad's punching bag. Vegeta never goes to the bulky super saiyan mode either so... yeah some thing best left in the past.
I love the fact that the episode that goku and picolo failed their driving test was reference…this movie felt like a love letter to dragon ball I really freaking love it
It’s a truly Toriyama script, when interviewed about when his favourite part of the original manga was, he answered that his favourite was the slice of life chapters of Gohan attending Orange Star High School.
I loved this movie because they focused on my favorite duo, Piccolo and Gohan. The fact that Piccolo is basically the main character of the movie made this great for me. Piccolo basically got 2 forms out of this movie, and thats Potential Unleashed and his Orange(or Omega is what I like to call it)
@@marcosmc3709 i went last night and had a lot of fun and laughs watching the dub. am very much considering watching the sub version as well to see how much dialogue changes
"Yeah, Saiyans stay small until they just all of a sudden get a growth spurt!" killed me. Not only because that's literally (finally) what happens with Goten and Trunks, but pretty much with Goku and Gohan also.
The plot point of Bulma constantly using the Dragon Balls would be a PHENOMENAL reason to adapt the "Black Star Dragon Balls", and subsequently the various Shadow Shenrons, into the main canon.
I think the gohan glasses situation can be explained like this: when fighting gohan doesnt need to see precisely, he just needs to know where the guy he is gonna beat to near death is, so he uses his ability to sense ki, he knows where his target is and if he is gathering energy for a big beam attack, so no need for glasses there because sensing ki can be a substitute for his poor vision
i mean ur right u dont need good sight to fight, ufc light weight champion Charles Olivera has said he cant see very good and he sees 3 people at once when fighting and he just aims in the middle lol
He needs reading glasses but his ki sense makes up for it in combat due to fighting other living things. He has no such advantage against letters and god forbid the.. the.. the numbers and their evil Matto (Math) organizations.
Yeah there is a ufc champion his name is charles Oliveira, he got terrible eyesight and uses his glasses 99% of the time except when he fights… i mean if a regular real person can do that, then im sure Gohan can see with some anime magic
More complex Dragon Ball context. The Frieza and Cell Saga are so good because the dynamic action from so many characters. Goku and Vegeta vs the main villian 8 times is boring.

I absolutely loved this movie, it reminded of og dragon ball, where every thing is simple. No planets or universe getting erase, just ur typical battle adventure series, there is even a lot references about the original dragon ball.
I feel like I’ve been having a bad time with dragon ball recently and this movie made me realised that I do still like dragon ball. Love the attention Gohan in particular got
I like to think that Dragon Ball canon is multiverse tournament, then Broly, then this one. I will forever refuse whats going on with the manga rn. Ultra ego is going to pop up eventually in the movies.
With Bulma constantly using the Dragon Balls like that, they can definitely do an evil Dragon Ball are like in GT with Omega Shenron. That would be awesome. Remember in GT they explain that they balls are scattered so it give them time to get rid of all the negative energy
I thought it was that the Dragon Balls filled with negative energy as a consequence of battling evil in general. Absorbing the negative energy generated by how evil the major bad guys were. Selfishness or Selflessness in the wish itself didn't matter as much.
I think the easiest way to explain Gohan's transformation is that he put a Super Saiyan form onto his Unleashed Potential. This is just a guess but the energy Gohan had when he bashed Raditz in the chest was red, same as his eye color. With all that said, I'm thinking he's using his innate Saiyan rage as a catalyst to boost the Mystic form even further beyond
Most of the people that say the movie is bad are people that watched some bad cam-rip. This is a movie that is 100x better when you go see it in theaters.
Oh yeah, the CG aesthetic is pretty near seamless with how the series should look. Maybe sometimes, you can tell they are CG animated, and Whis looks really desaturated for some reason but the presentation overall is very solid. If this was part of a dragonball videogame, this would be lauded as one of the best animated dragonball stories in any game.
Piccolo has always been my favorite character in the series, and he rarely ever got his time to shine recently in the anime. This movie felt like a love letter to fans like me who grew up with him being a bigger player in the game and I love it.
The Gamma OST is some good lifting music. Also this movie was great fanservice. I guess if I was forced to nitpick, I'd like to know where the Beast form came from
I wish Chichi could get to wish like “I wish I was fighting shape like when I fought Goku” that way she can show Pam how to fight and challenge videl. Sadly we didn’t get to see a whole lot of 20s fighter chichi.
Gohan needs to take a hint from Ichigo. He just wants to live at home with his wife Orihime and their son and work a normal job as a translator… but he can still Bankai whenever he wants to.
50:20 actually in regards to the Shadow Dragons, they are made from energy opposite of the morality of the wish, a selfless wish makes an evil dragon, and a selfish wish makes a good dragon considering Nova Shenron was made from King Picollo's wish for his youth back an inherently selfish wish.
But what about for “the world’s most comfortable pair of women’s underwear” that oolong wished for? That was a pretty selfish wish. It was just done quickly to stop another wish.
@@stevelucky7579 I have two theories which I think might be plausible. Due to how small the wish was it didn't produce a lot of positive energy to balance out said wish. Or the Dragon Balls were able to pick up the intent behind the wish as a being a positive in this context and thus accumulated negative inside them.
@@Animelover3819 but didn’t the girl come from the underwear wish? I’d think it would have had to have an effect then, and oolong was definitely in it for the panties that was his long time selfish wish. So I think the theory might be debunked a little.
@@stevelucky7579 that was actually showcased with Oceanus Shenron Oolong’s wish was a selfish wish that ultimately brought out good results Oceanus Shenron was a seemingly good Dragon that brought destruction wherever she went
Nice review Tekking! It would be cool if you did Dragonball character discussions on your channel. I would like to see the next movie focus on Goten and Trunks.
When you talked about how side characters can have a film focused on them i immediately thought of how kamen rider handles their side content after the shows are over. They would have 2-3 after series movies that do exactly what super hero does, take the main character out of the story and let the rest of the cast handle the new boss battle.
I find it funny that the last 2 dragon ball movies haven't had Goku as the main character. in this one it was Piccollo and in the last one it's debatable but I'd say Broly was the main character
This was my favorite dragon ball movie. Really any dragon ball content in a long time. Broly was really good too but the super anime was just so soulless and boring it killed any hype I had when I saw advertising for this movie. Superhero has heart and feels like the original dragon ball, loved it. Gamma 2 is easily my favorite new character since the introduction of Beerus
Same the first half was great, I really love what they’re doing with pan and piccolo but gohan is still being written wrong IMO beast was just an asspull and undeserved.
@@animeperspective9866 no it wasn’t gohan trained intensely from the age of 4-11ish he didn’t train for the buu saga and has been gifted bs power ups since if we’re being honest you can tell tori is done with his character.
@@animeperspective9866 also all of gohans power ups before the buu saga felt earned and he did in fact train I don’t know where you’re getting this gohan has never trained bs from.
@@damarkomoore5236 again bullshit. He trained for 3 months until the saiyans arrived. And trained 1 year with his dad in the time chamber. He then didn't train for 7 years. Didn't train in the buu sage and got his power unlocked. Didn't train again in super. Then trained for a few months to get himself in fighting shape and lastly trained for 2 days before the top. He hardly ever trains hence why the complaint of his power being bs makes no sense since that's always been the case
Okay so i finally decided to watch it.... Best DB movie to date... I am still sad about the animation but wow... A wholesome story about a young man connecting with his adoptive step father through his daughter who loves them both equally... This was DB fanfiction levels of fan service and i can say i appreciated all of Piccolo being Gohans real dad, this movie was great.
I think that this was test film for the new ways of using CGI, hence the low marketing compared with Broly movie. They didn't want to stress to much about it in cased it floped they could tell with was some sort of filler. I realy wonder how they will handle the time line from now tanking into account that Pan in a couple of years will be the same age as in GT. Please, please make SSJ4 cannon, maybe like in that fan fiction with the SSJ4 white (ultra instict maybe?)
if gohan's eye sight gets better in ssj it only makes sense. ssj is a booster that not only increases ki but physical power too so naturally his eye sight would get better with a booster activated.
I saw this last night in IMAX and I loved it! Piccolo and Gohan are my favorite characters. Also fun fact, Zoro and Piccolo share the same voice actor.
I loved the movie. Piccolo has always been one of my favorite characters and after the slog that the super anime was, it was finally so much fun to finally get away from goku and vegeta and let other characters shine. Gohan was great & I absolutely love Gamma 1 & 2. To me, Gamma 2 has more characterization than any of the tournament of power characters that were introduced in that arc. For me, the Dragon Ball Super Movies are easily so much better than the manga or anime. There were a few things I didn’t like. I agree with you, I’m tired of retreading gohan getting his power back. I’m tired of krillin being to the punching bag and Vilma berates him for being weak. One of my favorite episodes in the anime was the one focusing on krillin and how he’s not like goku and he’s scared to fight BUT he proves his strength to him & rises to the occasion (when goku was recruiting for top). My biggest complaint: Bulma. I know it was played for jokes she used shenron for plastic surgery and yes she’s always been vapid and shallow but that’s just low brow and I’ve never liked that type of humor in db. I didn’t like beerus instantly liking chilai. I thought her and broly were the pairing. Chilai is cool, cunning not physically strong but uses her wit to get by. I’d rather had seen her outwit beerus than just beerus going “ooh pretty girl”. How old is beerus? I wasn’t a fan of that. Dr. Hedo was great and I can’t stop singing the praises of Gamma 1 & 2.
12:49- I agree with that statement! The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has that problem in their games as of late. However, Sonic Frontiers may not have that issue.
I only have two issues with the movie. Cell Max was trash. It felt like a dollar store ripoff. It did not feel like it was real a threat. I'm ok with the added weakness to the head, but no regeneration? How is it an upgrade from the original Cell? It would have been cool if it had a second form after destroying the head that made it not a giant anymore. My second issue was Gohan snapping from seeing Piccolo getting hammered. He has seen that multiple times so I don't think it would be enough to push him over the edge, especially since he was skipping on training regularly. Perhaps it would have been better if Pan was hurt badly by Cell Max as well as Piccolo. Both his father figure and daughter getting hurt in front of him seems like the right amount of "Emotional damage". Everything else about the movie was good.
saw it last night. without much spoilers, you see a lot of characters as cameos, but i felt they brought them in at the proper moment and that was all you saw. agree with Tekking101 that there were lots of humor between knowing the lore and history of DB/DBZ and imagery. some Bulma moments were like why did we cut to her again? never felt like the movie was dragging out at any moment. even at the critical moment at the end, the Gohan/Piccolo relationship played out similar to Goku/Krillin right after the 22nd tournament, caught wanting to hear Gohan say "i won't let you kill my best friend." watched it in dub so i could get the understanding of the story in the first go. am very much considering watching the sub as well to see what might've changed.
If Goku and Vegeta: When will cell be ready? I want a fight. I know it was intentional on hedo part only preparing the body. He made cell max a brute who ran on instinct as a way to sabotage mangeta. Delayed the development of the brain /mind to milk mangeta for all his worth to develop his androids. Gammas. I love the fact 18 has ptsd on seeing cell max.
The movie really surprised me. Ended up having a great time watching it. And as a Gohan hater, he was very hype in this movie. Also loved the Gammas, they were fun. And I'm a huge fan that Broly might be apart of the main cast 2 things I wasn't a fan of tho. Cell Max was not that great. Kinda disrespected Cell's name. Was expecting him to have his own perfect form with.... actual intelligence but no. 2. Sad that they didn't show off the REAL Adult Gotenks. Also confirmed that Gero banged Android 21 :p
If this movie takes place YEARS after the tournament of power (aka years after Piccolo last turned giant in the original Dragon Ball), it would make sense that he would forget that he could become a giant.
Although the 3-D kept the action a bit slower than what I’m used to with Dragon Ball, I LOVED the animation style. I’d love to see it continue (with different directors ofc)
Didn't Bulma say, I think in Broly, that she was collecting dragon balls to wish to get younger 5 years and she had the whole explanation that if she wished to get any younger people would start to question it and so on?
They actually aged Goten and not just another version of Trunks again... Here is hoping they actually do some major independent development of Goten and not have him as a sidekick.
Matt didn't bring up the absolute best part of the movies comedy. Pan absolutely hams it up for the camera when they film her kidnapping video and it's so good that Gohan charges up a fucking crater in his backyard! And when he tries to goad Gohan in to powering up further he's literally holding Pan up on his right hand while pretending to harm her with his left. It's fucking good and I loved Pan in this film.
This movie was great! Even though they reused lots of ideas.. Piccolo getting another form, along with the coloring naming power ups "Orange Piccolo, Golden Frieza, Vegito Blue", and forcibly causing a crisis causing Gohan to "awaken", etc... it was still amazing. I'm just waiting for them to announce the next anime. There's definitely enough manga content to fill many episodes up.
It’s an absolute blast of a movie, I loved it a lot and I don’t care what the haters say about the cgi. Yes some scenes look a bit rough but the product as a whole was a banger.
I watched the movie and I just didn't like it. Btw don't just call people who have a critic about the movie haters, it just makes for a lack of discussion.
@@Amplifymagic When talking about CGI in Anime that comes with territory, and I don’t fault the criticism from those who didn’t like it. And they shouldn’t be considered haters.
@@TheInjunBoy I’m ok with criticism, it’s the mindless haters that reeee without even have seen the film. They are definitely haters. Many have come around tho since the initial trailers.
I think what annoys me the most is Gohan. It's like he's never accepted being a warrior, even though it's what he wanted as a kid. He gains tons of power, has the ability to grow exponentially, could be the embodiment of peace, but doesn't care until it's too late? Plot armor is the only thing carrying the dead weight of what Gohan should have been in the series. He sucks and it's heart breaking. Then the crap with the glasses really slaps the icing on the poop cake. I want to like Gohan so bad, but he's too annoying. I used to love him so much...
Man so much about this movie worked. Your so right about the characters feeling right on point, especially Piccolo and Gohan. Bulma just got ragged on relentlessly though haha, Oh and When they were analyzing power levels and brought Hercule up. They still think he's super powerful XD
I love “ ‘Florida Orange’ Piccolo” (the Florida is an adjective describing the kind of Orange it is) I hope that name picks up steam. It just works better than “Orange Piccolo” It has that Goofy “Special Beam Cannon” “Hellzone Grenade” “Light Grenade” touch.
My favorite moment of the movie was when after Gohan used Special Beam Cannon. When Piccolo asked him how he know it, Gohan mentioned that it was so cool and meaningful to him, especially since he saw it when Piccolo killed his Father 😂
I would find it funny or nice, when it would be true, that his eyes became weaker from the Buu saga. They fight so many times. But nobody is taking any pernamently damag anymore (the last one is Tien with the sword cut from DB). It would be nice to explain Gohan`s glasses with it, that Gohans Eye had taking damage by the fight agains Buu. And became weaker over time with it. And because of this, he would now need to war glasses in base form. They have so many times punches in the faces. It would be logical, when the eyes would be have damage from that.
At first, when Teking said he loved the movie I was so confused, because I was so mad after finishing that movie. But he just laughed at all the stuff that bothered me, so maybe I just misread the movie and it’s actually a comedy
Frieza gets mentioned when they explain to Beerus why Broly & Co. are there. Which kind of works perfectly considering what happened in the Manga! But overall personally this is my #1 favorite DB movie!
The movie in general didn't have much budget in terms of it's Over-Seas Advertisement. Toei wasn't really expecting much from the Western world because of the movie's heavy lean on comedy.
I remember wayy back when, Toriyama tried to let Gohan take over the center stage from the Cell arc moving forward and let Goku stay in the afterlife for good, but it got so much backlash that he had to bring Goku back in the end. I have a feeling he intentionally nerfed Gohan into oblivion from then on just to spite the fans.
What they could do with the dragon balls is have bulmas team find the dragon balls, then give one of them to each of the earth's protector for example 1 star: Tien and chiotzu 2 star: Andriod 17 3 star: Andriod 18 and Krillin 4 star: Gokus house 5 star: Gohan and videl 6 star: Kame House 7 star: Either stays at capsule Corp, or on the lookout This way they would have more incentive to keep up their training, and since most of them can sense energy they'll know when the time is right for them to protect earth and the dragon balls.
If we're being technical, Goku has never beaten Vegeta in a fight. Vegeta beat up Goku in the Saiyan Saga, Knocked out Goku before fighting Buu, and now he knocked out Goku in this movie.
Yeah, but only piccolo killed Goku twice. Or if you want to get technical, Piccolo’s father king piccolo killed goku, then piccolo killed goku, and if he were to have a son, he’d probably kill goku too. You know which part of Cell “technically” killed Goku? The piccolo part.
I don't keep up with DBS reading-wise but I like to keep up with the overarching storylines/arcs, its so refreshing that it's gotten back to it's original Dragon Ball slice of life adventure funny times, DBZ is fine for what it is but it was almost never what I came to DB for. What a fun movie, what a cutie Pan is, Piccolo is the sweetest, both transformations were a bit sussy sussy but hey its DB theres going to be transformations.
My favorite part of the movie was piccolo hearing that they were going to kidnap pan, and then his thought is "yeah, good idea, if I kidnap his daughter he'll stop being such a massive nerd". It's so funny.
It’s very dragon ball. And Pan can handle herself
Piccolo is such a goated character I’m so glad he got so much love in the movie
Now…now he’ll learn to dodge
To be fair to Piccolo, he does mention that being huge doesn't actually make him stronger, so it makes some sense that he forgot about it.
Doing the detached index finger trick doesn't make me stronger but I haven't forgetten how to do that. People don't forget about normal stuff their body can do just because they haven't done it in a while.
@@machina5 Not the analogy you were looking for.
I hadn't rode a bicycle in 16 years by the last time I got on one but it took me all of 3 seconds to get the hang of it again.
Do you still recall how to do algebra or geometry? It’s a technique he hasn’t used in years because it’s not useful most of the time
it def makes him slower and a bigger target best for becoming a big bad's punching bag. Vegeta never goes to the bulky super saiyan mode either so... yeah some thing best left in the past.
I love the fact that the episode that goku and picolo failed their driving test was reference…this movie felt like a love letter to dragon ball I really freaking love it

There’s lots of Easter eggs like the neko majin plushies in back when bulma was on the phone with piccolo
Same. I absolutely loved the movie and it's call-backs. The driving test episode is legitimately my favorite filler episode in the entire DBZ lexicon
I loved this movie because they focused on my favorite duo, Piccolo and Gohan. The fact that Piccolo is basically the main character of the movie made this great for me. Piccolo basically got 2 forms out of this movie, and thats Potential Unleashed and his Orange(or Omega is what I like to call it)

I dare say Gohan relapsing so many times is the most relatable thing. People dont just flip a switch and change perfectly.
I think the gohan glasses situation can be explained like this: when fighting gohan doesnt need to see precisely, he just needs to know where the guy he is gonna beat to near death is, so he uses his ability to sense ki, he knows where his target is and if he is gathering energy for a big beam attack, so no need for glasses there because sensing ki can be a substitute for his poor vision
He proved that when he fought one of the wolves from another universe when he was blind from poison
i mean ur right u dont need good sight to fight, ufc light weight champion Charles Olivera has said he cant see very good and he sees 3 people at once when fighting and he just aims in the middle lol
He needs reading glasses but his ki sense makes up for it in combat due to fighting other living things. He has no such advantage against letters and god forbid the.. the.. the numbers and their evil Matto (Math) organizations.
Yeah there is a ufc champion his name is charles Oliveira, he got terrible eyesight and uses his glasses 99% of the time except when he fights… i mean if a regular real person can do that, then im sure Gohan can see with some anime magic

Oh yeah, the CG aesthetic is pretty near seamless with how the series should look. Maybe sometimes, you can tell they are CG animated, and Whis looks really desaturated for some reason but the presentation overall is very solid. If this was part of a dragonball videogame, this would be lauded as one of the best animated dragonball stories in any game.
I watched it yesterday. Everything about it was AMAZING!!
Piccolo has always been my favorite character in the series, and he rarely ever got his time to shine recently in the anime. This movie felt like a love letter to fans like me who grew up with him being a bigger player in the game and I love it.
I quite enjoyed the movie with Piccolo being my favorite character.
The Gamma OST is some good lifting music. Also this movie was great fanservice. I guess if I was forced to nitpick, I'd like to know where the Beast form came from
I wish Chichi could get to wish like “I wish I was fighting shape like when I fought Goku” that way she can show Pam how to fight and challenge videl. Sadly we didn’t get to see a whole lot of 20s fighter chichi.
Gohan needs to take a hint from Ichigo. He just wants to live at home with his wife Orihime and their son and work a normal job as a translator… but he can still Bankai whenever he wants to.
50:20 actually in regards to the Shadow Dragons, they are made from energy opposite of the morality of the wish, a selfless wish makes an evil dragon, and a selfish wish makes a good dragon considering Nova Shenron was made from King Picollo's wish for his youth back an inherently selfish wish.
But what about for “the world’s most comfortable pair of women’s underwear” that oolong wished for? That was a pretty selfish wish. It was just done quickly to stop another wish.
@@stevelucky7579 I have two theories which I think might be plausible. Due to how small the wish was it didn't produce a lot of positive energy to balance out said wish. Or the Dragon Balls were able to pick up the intent behind the wish as a being a positive in this context and thus accumulated negative inside them.
@@Animelover3819 but didn’t the girl come from the underwear wish? I’d think it would have had to have an effect then, and oolong was definitely in it for the panties that was his long time selfish wish. So I think the theory might be debunked a little.
@@stevelucky7579 that was actually showcased with Oceanus Shenron
Oolong’s wish was a selfish wish that ultimately brought out good results
Oceanus Shenron was a seemingly good Dragon that brought destruction wherever she went
Nice review Tekking! It would be cool if you did Dragonball character discussions on your channel. I would like to see the next movie focus on Goten and Trunks.
When you talked about how side characters can have a film focused on them i immediately thought of how kamen rider handles their side content after the shows are over. They would have 2-3 after series movies that do exactly what super hero does, take the main character out of the story and let the rest of the cast handle the new boss battle.
Also fun fact: Gamma 1 & 2 closely resemble Ultraman Rosso and Blu, just put them side by side and you'll see what i mean.
Yup kamen rider build did like 4-5 V-cinima for everyone else it's great and wish more series did this
I find it funny that the last 2 dragon ball movies haven't had Goku as the main character. in this one it was Piccollo and in the last one it's debatable but I'd say Broly was the main character
The movie is named after Broly. I’d say you’re right. He’s the MC.
This was my favorite dragon ball movie. Really any dragon ball content in a long time. Broly was really good too but the super anime was just so soulless and boring it killed any hype I had when I saw advertising for this movie. Superhero has heart and feels like the original dragon ball, loved it. Gamma 2 is easily my favorite new character since the introduction of Beerus
This is my favorite since Path to Power. I can really feel the old-school Dragon Ball in the heart of this film and I love it.
Haven’t seen it but piccolo being the main character instantly makes me want to watch it, he’s the best character in the series
I have been rewatching dragon ball z abridged and piccolo is such a cool character in that series
They are rare but Matt's reviews on Any Dragon Ball content are always a treat
Personally liked this movie more then BoG but less than Super Broly
Same the first half was great, I really love what they’re doing with pan and piccolo but gohan is still being written wrong IMO beast was just an asspull and undeserved.
@@damarkomoore5236 nah gohans whole thing is not needing to train alot.
@@animeperspective9866 no it wasn’t gohan trained intensely from the age of 4-11ish he didn’t train for the buu saga and has been gifted bs power ups since if we’re being honest you can tell tori is done with his character.
@@animeperspective9866 also all of gohans power ups before the buu saga felt earned and he did in fact train I don’t know where you’re getting this gohan has never trained bs from.
@@damarkomoore5236 again bullshit. He trained for 3 months until the saiyans arrived. And trained 1 year with his dad in the time chamber. He then didn't train for 7 years. Didn't train in the buu sage and got his power unlocked. Didn't train again in super. Then trained for a few months to get himself in fighting shape and lastly trained for 2 days before the top. He hardly ever trains hence why the complaint of his power being bs makes no sense since that's always been the case
Also love how Charles Martinet played the main villain. It's a me Magenta.
Okay so i finally decided to watch it.... Best DB movie to date... I am still sad about the animation but wow... A wholesome story about a young man connecting with his adoptive step father through his daughter who loves them both equally... This was DB fanfiction levels of fan service and i can say i appreciated all of Piccolo being Gohans real dad, this movie was great.
I love Broly second coming, the animation is amazing and Gohan fight is one of the bests.
I think that this was test film for the new ways of using CGI, hence the low marketing compared with Broly movie. They didn't want to stress to much about it in cased it floped they could tell with was some sort of filler. I realy wonder how they will handle the time line from now tanking into account that Pan in a couple of years will be the same age as in GT. Please, please make SSJ4 cannon, maybe like in that fan fiction with the SSJ4 white (ultra instict maybe?)
Everyone loved the broly fight so much so that the db team was like just make a whole movie out of it
Nah SSJ4 just wouldn’t fit in Super continuity
if gohan's eye sight gets better in ssj it only makes sense. ssj is a booster that not only increases ki but physical power too so naturally his eye sight would get better with a booster activated.
I saw this last night in IMAX and I loved it! Piccolo and Gohan are my favorite characters. Also fun fact, Zoro and Piccolo share the same voice actor.
Now I’m trying to picture Piccolo using three sword style lol.
Piccollos new transformation was purely badass, long overdo for my fav DB character
I loved the movie. Piccolo has always been one of my favorite characters and after the slog that the super anime was, it was finally so much fun to finally get away from goku and vegeta and let other characters shine. Gohan was great & I absolutely love Gamma 1 & 2.
To me, Gamma 2 has more characterization than any of the tournament of power characters that were introduced in that arc. For me, the Dragon Ball Super Movies are easily so much better than the manga or anime.
There were a few things I didn’t like. I agree with you, I’m tired of retreading gohan getting his power back. I’m tired of krillin being to the punching bag and Vilma berates him for being weak. One of my favorite episodes in the anime was the one focusing on krillin and how he’s not like goku and he’s scared to fight BUT he proves his strength to him & rises to the occasion (when goku was recruiting for top).
My biggest complaint: Bulma. I know it was played for jokes she used shenron for plastic surgery and yes she’s always been vapid and shallow but that’s just low brow and I’ve never liked that type of humor in db.
I didn’t like beerus instantly liking chilai. I thought her and broly were the pairing. Chilai is cool, cunning not physically strong but uses her wit to get by. I’d rather had seen her outwit beerus than just beerus going “ooh pretty girl”. How old is beerus? I wasn’t a fan of that.
Dr. Hedo was great and I can’t stop singing the praises of Gamma 1 & 2.
"With the great power comes with responsibility"
Gohan: I'm going to pretend like I never heard that
12:49- I agree with that statement! The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has that problem in their games as of late. However, Sonic Frontiers may not have that issue.
I sure hope so, but I’m keeping my expectations low.
@@chriscannon8144 That’s fair. I’ll be doing the same.
I will be massively disappointed if sonic doesn't clip through the floor every 5 minutes. I want another Sonic 06 to laugh at.
Still think Vegeta’s blue form should have been called “Royal Blue”
I'm personally a fan of super saiyan bluer
Watching the entire Dragon Ball franchise was my lockdown quest. Now you convinced me to watch this movie.
Why wouldn’t you if you’re a fan?
I only have two issues with the movie. Cell Max was trash. It felt like a dollar store ripoff. It did not feel like it was real a threat. I'm ok with the added weakness to the head, but no regeneration? How is it an upgrade from the original Cell? It would have been cool if it had a second form after destroying the head that made it not a giant anymore.
My second issue was Gohan snapping from seeing Piccolo getting hammered. He has seen that multiple times so I don't think it would be enough to push him over the edge, especially since he was skipping on training regularly. Perhaps it would have been better if Pan was hurt badly by Cell Max as well as Piccolo. Both his father figure and daughter getting hurt in front of him seems like the right amount of "Emotional damage". Everything else about the movie was good.
In super he only saw it once which was against frieza when he returned. He never once raged out in his ultimate form
saw it last night. without much spoilers, you see a lot of characters as cameos, but i felt they brought them in at the proper moment and that was all you saw. agree with Tekking101 that there were lots of humor between knowing the lore and history of DB/DBZ and imagery. some Bulma moments were like why did we cut to her again? never felt like the movie was dragging out at any moment. even at the critical moment at the end, the Gohan/Piccolo relationship played out similar to Goku/Krillin right after the 22nd tournament, caught wanting to hear Gohan say "i won't let you kill my best friend." watched it in dub so i could get the understanding of the story in the first go. am very much considering watching the sub as well to see what might've changed.
Please can you make another manga collection video
If Goku and Vegeta:
When will cell be ready? I want a fight.
I know it was intentional on hedo part only preparing the body. He made cell max a brute who ran on instinct as a way to sabotage mangeta. Delayed the development of the brain /mind to milk mangeta for all his worth to develop his androids. Gammas.
I love the fact 18 has ptsd on seeing cell max.
The movie really surprised me. Ended up having a great time watching it. And as a Gohan hater, he was very hype in this movie. Also loved the Gammas, they were fun. And I'm a huge fan that Broly might be apart of the main cast
2 things I wasn't a fan of tho. Cell Max was not that great. Kinda disrespected Cell's name. Was expecting him to have his own perfect form with.... actual intelligence but no. 2. Sad that they didn't show off the REAL Adult Gotenks.
Also confirmed that Gero banged Android 21 :p
So far tekking has my exact opinion on this movie and I love that I’m not alone. Great movie
It was awesome my theater was having a great time as was I
Bulma will be the reason for the Shadow Dragons. Parts of GT are creeping in.
If this movie takes place YEARS after the tournament of power (aka years after Piccolo last turned giant in the original Dragon Ball), it would make sense that he would forget that he could become a giant.
Although the 3-D kept the action a bit slower than what I’m used to with Dragon Ball, I LOVED the animation style.
I’d love to see it continue (with different directors ofc)
Still waiting on the “tekking teaches us to tie a tie” video.
Didn't Bulma say, I think in Broly, that she was collecting dragon balls to wish to get younger 5 years and she had the whole explanation that if she wished to get any younger people would start to question it and so on?
Her AND Freiza wanted to be younger and taller a few inches
Pan is like the best character in the movie. ❤️ Piccolo was close second.
They actually aged Goten and not just another version of Trunks again... Here is hoping they actually do some major independent development of Goten and not have him as a sidekick.
Matt didn't bring up the absolute best part of the movies comedy. Pan absolutely hams it up for the camera when they film her kidnapping video and it's so good that Gohan charges up a fucking crater in his backyard! And when he tries to goad Gohan in to powering up further he's literally holding Pan up on his right hand while pretending to harm her with his left. It's fucking good and I loved Pan in this film.
This movie was great! Even though they reused lots of ideas.. Piccolo getting another form, along with the coloring naming power ups "Orange Piccolo, Golden Frieza, Vegito Blue", and forcibly causing a crisis causing Gohan to "awaken", etc... it was still amazing. I'm just waiting for them to announce the next anime. There's definitely enough manga content to fill many episodes up.
I prefer to call it “Florida Orange Piccolo” has a better ring to it.
It’s an absolute blast of a movie, I loved it a lot and I don’t care what the haters say about the cgi.
Yes some scenes look a bit rough but the product as a whole was a banger.
I watched the movie and I just didn't like it. Btw don't just call people who have a critic about the movie haters, it just makes for a lack of discussion.
@@Danksforbreakfast if you’re not a hater then it doesn’t concern you.
This film had so many naysayers trash on the cgi before even seeing the movie.
@@Amplifymagic When talking about CGI in Anime that comes with territory, and I don’t fault the criticism from those who didn’t like it. And they shouldn’t be considered haters.
@@TheInjunBoy I’m ok with criticism, it’s the mindless haters that reeee without even have seen the film. They are definitely haters. Many have come around tho since the initial trailers.
I think what annoys me the most is Gohan. It's like he's never accepted being a warrior, even though it's what he wanted as a kid. He gains tons of power, has the ability to grow exponentially, could be the embodiment of peace, but doesn't care until it's too late? Plot armor is the only thing carrying the dead weight of what Gohan should have been in the series. He sucks and it's heart breaking. Then the crap with the glasses really slaps the icing on the poop cake. I want to like Gohan so bad, but he's too annoying. I used to love him so much...
It makes me so angry that they teased teen gotenks then didn’t show him
IKR
Man so much about this movie worked. Your so right about the characters feeling right on point, especially Piccolo and Gohan.
Bulma just got ragged on relentlessly though haha, Oh and When they were analyzing power levels and brought Hercule up. They still think he's super powerful XD
I love “ ‘Florida Orange’ Piccolo” (the Florida is an adjective describing the kind of Orange it is)
I hope that name picks up steam. It just works better than “Orange Piccolo”
It has that Goofy “Special Beam Cannon” “Hellzone Grenade” “Light Grenade” touch.
My favorite moment of the movie was when after Gohan used Special Beam Cannon. When Piccolo asked him how he know it, Gohan mentioned that it was so cool and meaningful to him, especially since he saw it when Piccolo killed his Father 😂
I would find it funny or nice, when it would be true, that his eyes became weaker from the Buu saga.
They fight so many times. But nobody is taking any pernamently damag anymore (the last one is Tien with the sword cut from DB).
It would be nice to explain Gohan`s glasses with it, that Gohans Eye had taking damage by the fight agains Buu. And became weaker over time with it.
And because of this, he would now need to war glasses in base form.
They have so many times punches in the faces. It would be logical, when the eyes would be have damage from that.
Bio-Broly was so bad that Tekking forgot about it.
At first, when Teking said he loved the movie I was so confused, because I was so mad after finishing that movie.
But he just laughed at all the stuff that bothered me, so maybe I just misread the movie and it’s actually a comedy
Completely agree with you Matt, the fact that Goku and Vegeta weren't the mains was incredibly refreshing
This was a definite fun movie! I had so much fun with it
Frieza gets mentioned when they explain to Beerus why Broly & Co. are there.
Which kind of works perfectly considering what happened in the Manga!
But overall personally this is my #1 favorite DB movie!
Without spoilers, I'm surprised the theater I saw it at didn't have any promotional stuff when I bought my ticket compared to when I saw Broly.
The movie in general didn't have much budget in terms of it's Over-Seas Advertisement. Toei wasn't really expecting much from the Western world because of the movie's heavy lean on comedy.
@@R00TB33R Oh! I guess it was just my speed as well.
I was dead when Bulma kept trying to wish for body enhancements from Shenron bro said yeah she ain't serious I'm finna head out😂💀
I remember wayy back when, Toriyama tried to let Gohan take over the center stage from the Cell arc moving forward and let Goku stay in the afterlife for good, but it got so much backlash that he had to bring Goku back in the end.
I have a feeling he intentionally nerfed Gohan into oblivion from then on just to spite the fans.
It wasn't back lash he just felt Gohan couldn't carry the story.
I used to watch Dragon ball z but stopped I wasn't interested anymore, but I'm glad you enjoyed the movie.
Has Tekking read Toriko? It's a really good and epic shounen which ended many years ago. Would love to see him read it and review the whole series.
I know he's said before he liked the series and read it all I think
Yup. He’s read it all.
he's even made several videos about it.
I missed watching your channel. One Piece is something I don't follow super hard so this is taking me back to the Bleach review days
Gohan: “I’m Mystic!”
Gozar in the distance: “...what...!!”
I have not been hype for this movie at all, now I have to see it. Thanks Tekking.
What they could do with the dragon balls is have bulmas team find the dragon balls, then give one of them to each of the earth's protector for example
1 star: Tien and chiotzu
2 star: Andriod 17
3 star: Andriod 18 and Krillin
4 star: Gokus house
5 star: Gohan and videl
6 star: Kame House
7 star: Either stays at capsule Corp, or on the lookout
This way they would have more incentive to keep up their training, and since most of them can sense energy they'll know when the time is right for them to protect earth and the dragon balls.
59:92 this is the moment that Tekking truly became 101.
The only thing I disliked about the movie is they didn’t tell dr hado that gohan was the great sayai man
If we're being technical, Goku has never beaten Vegeta in a fight.
Vegeta beat up Goku in the Saiyan Saga, Knocked out Goku before fighting Buu, and now he knocked out Goku in this movie.
Yeah, but only piccolo killed Goku twice. Or if you want to get technical, Piccolo’s father king piccolo killed goku, then piccolo killed goku, and if he were to have a son, he’d probably kill goku too. You know which part of Cell “technically” killed Goku? The piccolo part.
Why doesn’t Goku just leave a single dragon ball on Beerus’ planet and they go grab it when they need it for a wish?!
when gohan drop the senzu bean remind me of when he dropped the potara in fusion saga
I don't keep up with DBS reading-wise but I like to keep up with the overarching storylines/arcs, its so refreshing that it's gotten back to it's original Dragon Ball slice of life adventure funny times, DBZ is fine for what it is but it was almost never what I came to DB for.
What a fun movie, what a cutie Pan is, Piccolo is the sweetest, both transformations were a bit sussy sussy but hey its DB theres going to be transformations.
Just The fact that goku isn't the main character of the movie makes it 100x better
Wow it's really been so long since I've visited your channel, I'm surprised you're not talking on your bed anymore. 😅
Thanks for this video!👌
I don't even watch dragon ball, but I'm still here to hear Tekking!
I love the idea of Goten and Trunks being martial art teenage stoners. :D
Wait Piccolo the main lead!!! HACK YEAH
Unexpected yet acceptable
Piccolo's orange form looked very reminiscent of the black star dragons looked so badass
"Why I can see you sound effects,"
This movie was funny. So good lol
Keep up the good work. Been following you since you had less than 100k subs.
