Where would you pick up the DBE storyline?

Where would you pick up the DBE storyline?

Most are disappointed with how Dragonball Evolution turned out. If given the chance, how would YOU pick up where DBE left off and do the series some justice?

Filed Under: Dragonball Evolution

There were so many things that a lot of people hated about Dragonball Evolution. One being that Oozaru was somehow Piccolo's assistant. Another issue was the way the characters appeared in the movie, such as Muten Roshi not having a beard or bald head.

Seeing that the movie has come out despite many fan objections, if you were given the chance to helm the next Dragonball movie, how would you do it?

Rules:

1) No more than 2 cast changes. Everyone hates when almost all the roles are re-cast, even if the first movie sucked. So for sake of continuity, you cannot change more than 2 cast members.

2) No breaking what has already been done. You cannot pretend something in DBE didn't happen. You can only add onto that. Such as Shenlong. You cannot change his appearance, but you can, however, make him talk since he didn't do that in the first movie.

3) Correcting misbeliefs. This would deal with the making of the Dragonballs and the fact that Goku thinks that Nameks are warmongers. Just like in the original Dragonball anime, Roshi told a story of how the Dragon Balls were created that did not have to do w/ Kami. Seeing as we are lead to believe that Roshi was not there when the Dragon Balls were created in the movie, we can assume that the Mystics creating the Dragon Balls was a cover-up story, seeing as the monks did not know their true origin. That could allow you to bring in Kami. When doing so, you can have Kami correct Goku and the monk's beliefs that Namekians are a warriar race, when in fact they are peaceful. Piccolo is just the exception.

4) Keep the same reality. You may not include any talking animals, such as Pu'ar or Oolong. You can add characters, though, such as Dr. Briefs, the head of Capsule Corp. and his wife.

5) Introduce new characters. Find a clever (or classic) way of introducing new characters that were left out of the first movie, such as Tien or Krillin.

That's pretty much it. Thanks for your participation.

who in their right mind would give this a thumbs down. This is just asking you to be a little creative. It's not even any official news?

I am intrigued by your article. I admit, I used to watch Dragonball Z. So, if they indeed make a sequel, let's see the beginning of the Saiyan Saga, when Raditz comes to Earth, is defeated, and then Vegita and Nappa come to get their asses kicked leading us into a Freeza story. That is my personal favorite section of DBZ history.

I love that part too. The fight between Goku and Vegeta is EPIC...and then they make us wait until the Buu saga before they ever fight each other again. But the wait is well worth it.

I like the Saiyan and Cell Sagas best, myself.

I did NOT agree with the whole "7 mystics creating the dragonballs" bit. I think one of the only ways they could fix that and incorporate Kami into the mix at the same time, would be to say that Kami was "masquerading" as a human and became one of the 7 mystics that created the dragonballs to keep the Earth safe from danger/destruction. Kami would be the lead mystic, and the other 6 under him could serve as "guardians" of the balls in whatever age Kami created them. The 7 mystics origin story could've just been told to everyone in order to cover-up the existence of an alien living amongst humans (Kami). They got the part right about Kami's evil half Piccolo being sealed in to that urn (rice-cooker?), so if that's the case where was Kami during all that?

another thing i'd change, Oozaru being controllable by Piccolo. I'd do it like this: Goku comes to Earth as a baby. Somewhere after that time Piccolo discovers him and finds out he's able to turn into a savage monkey-beast during a full-moon/eclipse and finds a way to harness/control that transformation for his own schemes. After Piccolo's defeated, somewhere down the line (probably where Z is supposed to begin), that's where Goku discovers he himself is actually an alien as well, known as a Saiyan.

Out of all the inconsistencies I saw in Evolution, I will have to say this: I thought the final battle between Piccolo and Goku was pretty slick; the ki blast exchange anyway.

DBE really reminded me of the street fighter movie, in term witch they took a great story and completely reconstructed the entire core elements of the series, grant it, i understand u have to cram it a lot story in a movie format, but wow it tamked(both movies), i see u are trying to brainstorm some positive idea, but to me its like polishing a terd.

zinext you bring up a good point. I've noticed that we as fans and even mainstream consumers are never happy lol if it is faithful to the source material, the mainstream audience won't like it for some reason. when that happens everyone says to go in an "original" way. Like making it THEIR vision instead of a direct adaption. Then we fans freak b/c the "original vision" isn't as faithful to the source lol its a vicious circle... sad really.

marsters has said radditz comes into it gohan in it and for everyone who hated chatwin as goku ( im not one of them) he dies so everyone gets what they want

i want it to be true to z but show a montage thing at the beginning showing piccolo jr growing up and gohan being born n stuff with a voice over by grandpa gohan or king kai ( becausse he will have to be in it) the sorta thing spiderman does but this will show what happened and stuff then have the scenes we have seen in dbe of the ship landing which would be raddiz's enterance ( because the dragonballs showed goku the future and that was what he saw so it will make sense and tie in but i think nappa should land on his own or with radditz but in a different part of the earth and have vegeta in another plaqnet beacusse hes on a big mission nappa and radditz couldnt handle and have him come in later and when he lands battle then him leaving this would take up half the film then have them go to namek but shorten it a bit dont have all of frieza's transformations n tha just 1 or 2 at most then almost everyone dies but piccolo's death makes goku get angry and explode into super saiyan because they built a relationship up and become friends and have the super saiyan transformation then fight everyone escape but goku n frieza namek blows up and we see goku scream n a big white explosion and end it on a cliffhanger after the credits u see a frieza's or king colds ship and have frieza laughing then fade out


or something like that

Its a intresting way to make up for the 1st movie, and I would like to see something like that, but I perpher to do a remake of this movie and call it DragonBall, and the story would take place in the World Martial Arts turnoment where Goku and his friends would reunite after young Goku defeated king Piccolo.

i think they need to another dragonball movie fix everything, bring in the characters, whatever the movie will be about let it be about whatever, but movie three needs to be z and then start it right and start from the begging, and make dams sure goku has brown eyes

Well, I'd come in with Goku in the final round of the Tenkaichi Budokai against Piccolo, establishing their continued emnity, Goku meeting Krillin and Tenshinhan, Goku marrying Chi-Chi, and flashes of Gohan's early childhood. A good five or ten minutes of the fight, and the rest could be dispensed with in the opening credits. We come in around Gohan's seventh birthday. Goku is sparring with Krillin, with Roshi, Tien, Yamcha, Bulma and Gohan looking on. Chi-Chi calls Roshi's house, furious that Gohan is there. Roshi clumsily tries to cover, but ends up getting lewd, which earns him a smack from Bulma. Out of nowhere, Raditz appears, mirroring the exchange in the manga. (The half-assed Oozaru can be explained away as a side effect of tail removal.) From there it can go through like the Saiyan Saga, with a much more threatening Frieza acting behind the scenes like Palpatine in ESB or Bill in Vol. 1.

Cast
Goku-Justin Chatwin
Vegeta- Ray Park
Krillin- Ernie Reyes, Jr.
Gohan- ???
Piccolo- James Marsters
Raditz- Justin Theroux
Nappa- Nathan Jones
Tenshinhan- Rick Yune
Yamcha- Nelson Lee
Bulma- Emmy Rossum
Chi-Chi- Jamie Chung
Roshi- Chow Yun-Fat

Director- STEPHEN CHOW
More later.

In the movie I believe Piccolo said that Goku was sent to earth in a meteor 18 years ago. That means it was a different Oozaru that worked with Piccolo 2000 years ago. Suppose Vegeta has been on earth all this time, but sealed in some way. He wakes up and begins gathering Dragonballs.

Vegeta would violently beat surfer Yamcha (just like we wish we could). Then carry Bulma away caveman style. Bulma would help him locate the Dragonballs because in this version she is the only one who knows how to work the locater.

Vegeta explains to her how he was never really a servant of Piccolo he just gets real dumb in his Oozaru form and needs to be pointed so he doesn't destroy the wrong planet. He also explains that his true goal is to wish for immortality because Vegeta believes that if he can't die then he can push his body harder and become a super Saiyan and kill Freeza. This movie would have to sell Freeza as a real harbringer of doom and not the weird asexual thing she was in the anime.

Bulma begins to develop a soft spot for Vegeta.

Goku comes to rescue Bulma, and they battle.

It'll be a big battle like the ones in the anime.

Goku dies but Vegeta is too wounded to fight anymore.

Then Piccolo shows up and announces that Freeza is comming and they're all screwed.

Bulma nurses Vegeta back to health while Piccolo and Gohan both train and gather Dragonballs

Freeza comes. Vegeta, Piccolo, and Gohan all get there chances to fight it so the others can get the last Dragonball.

At some point Chi Chi gets the last dragonball while seeing Gohan get severely beaten. In an emotional moment she wishes that her family could be whole again.

Goku appears and goes Super Saiyan.

Oh - and squeeze Krillian in somehow.

1st of all this will not mirror in any way the show or manga, simply continue the story as is. Only add references to the show.

Please send comments to [email protected]

It starts of three years after their fight with Piccolo on a cliff besides a waterfall, we hear a yell and see Goku(only in boxers) jumping into the water. He pokes his head out to reveal that he is indeed goku. takes a deep breath and dives back under. He sees a dragonball below and swims toward it. Just before he reaches it a big fish. Goku gets mad and gargles "hey give it back" needing air resurfaces to the top, takes another deep breath and dives back in. We remain on the surface and begin our view back to the top of the cliff were we see Bulma and Yamcha sitting close next to a camp fire.

Bulma ask Yamcha to stir the fire because its dying down, Yamcha instead stands up, closes his eyes, inhales and releases a weak but sufficient ki blast to help the fire. Bulma is impressed, Yamcha confesses that he has secretly tranin with Master Roshi. He sits back down and they both close their eyes and lean towards each other about to kiss, when... a giant fish sneaks between them. Bulma pulls away but Ysmcha ends up kissing it.

Its turns out its Goku with the fish in one hand and a dragonball in the other. Goku witha big smile "Dinner time!" Bulma lets out an ear bleeding "GOKU" that can be hear for miles.

Dinner is over, fish bones by the fire, 3 dragonballs glow,all three layn down staring at the stars. (Some dialog) Goku sees four shooting star fly across the sky and comments "Im gettin a bad feeling, you guys" (along those lines) fire fades.

Next morning, Bulma wakes goku because he over slept. He was to fly (now that learn to control ki and fly) and meet up with Chi chi and Rochi at the Wolrd tournament. Goku jumps up and says even at his top speed he'd get there late. Bulma reaches into her bag and says "I was gana save this till I worked out all the kinks but i guess this is a good a time as any. Now remember Goku this is just a prototype and my only one so please be careful with it." Sets a capsule on the ground and pops up into an odd shaped board. "Its a Hover board, it'll get you there in no time. I call it the Nitro Ion Moble Bio System, or N.I.M.B.S. for short" (or somthing along those lines)
Goku looks at her and scoffs "Or Nimbus for shorter." Hops on, Bulma starts it. Begins to levite of the ground, then, BANG, Black Smoke comes pooring out engulfing Goku. Bulma Runs and puts on a filter for the smoke. Now only slighty yellow mist surronds the board. Goku give bulma a dirty look and Bulma yells back "I TOLD YOU IT WAS A PROTOTYPE!!!!!"

Goku cleans his face, begins to hover once again, now with a smile, classic yellow nimbus and well known nimbus sound affect, ask how to make this thing go? Then suddenly takes off forward without warning, while bulma yells in the distance "ITS VOICE ACTIVATED!"
