I think Krillin has a chance to shine in this movie.

I refuse to believe that Vegeta wont get the kill.
If it's someone other than Goku I will be extremely shocked. I hope it happens. Goku winning is so predictable and boring.

Vegeta deserves that kill more than anyone else.
So of course Goku will end up saving the day in the end. Wouldn't be DBZ if that wasn't the case.

The only thing that is giving me faith in how its being advertised is Frieza being pissed at Goku and Trunks killing him.
I can't think of anything I wouldn't give to see Vegeta proclaim "You annihilated my planet, so allow me to return the favour. Bow, to the King of all Saiyans! *blasts Frieza into nothingness*"

lol was silly to think someone else would be able to shine besides Goku after 20 years of it all being about him. Toriyama is just an old man stuck in his old ways, he was never going to make the character he admits he hates actually do something for once. Toriyama is not going to change anything now, kind of wish he didn't go back to Dragonball after the 90's though, they ended it on a good note and since its revival its been pretty horrible.
It's an absolute travesty that Vegeta has been the one to do absolutely nothing against Freiza of all villains. The backstory is why I wanted Vegeta to do something in this movie but nope, Goku gets a change, Trunks of all people gets a chance but not Vegeta who was basically raised by Freiza to purge planets and what not.
I've never been into anime at all but are others the same where the main character does pretty much everything and a varied supporting cast basically never does anything? The only other anime I watched as a kid was pokemon and Ash was straight up shit, motherfucker would lose every single time when it mattered. Most useless pokemon trainer of all time. Of allllllll time.
Fucking hate you Toriyama, but appreciate you being able to make a character such as Goku, the most unlikeable drawing I've ever come across.

A new form? Revised SSJ4? Super Duper Saiyan God?

If he doesn't get it... ah man...
He still got the main focus.

There's a translated scan with comments about the movie from Toyble and Hoshi and it seems like we're getting many one vs one match ups involving Freeza's army and the various characters. So, we might get something fairly uncharacteristic of DB this time, with everyone mostly beating their own opponents.
Most similar action anime usually make the main hero beat the villain, but they usually have secondary antagonists for the other characters, unlike DB/Z. It seems like we might be getting something like that in this movie though.
That's good then. At least they didn't forget about Tien again...
red herring
I'm not convinced. Goku had a lot of help to get as strong as he was in Dragon Ball. Roshi's training. Korin's training. How would he have defeated characters like Mercenary Tao or Tien without all that training help?
While Goku was in permanent Super Saiyan form
I'm sure there's fan theories everywhere, but I wonder if this is how Goten's able to go SSJ so early. The baseline starts at conception.
So, Gohan just needed to go SSJ3 and have a baby. Then Pan could fight Whis.
Or... Toriyama was just like fuck it. SSJ for you, and for you and for everyone! Past achievements be damned!
It's like a Super Sayan bargain sale

Super Saiyan God is the new hotness!

Doesn't matter if he didn't get the actual kill, he still was treated better than the other characters.
Trunks killed Frieza but then Toriyama established that Goku was already gonna teleport over there and do it himself.
Gohan vs Cell: Father-Son Kamehameha
He still killed Buu and could have done it the whole time if he wanted.

I hope Vegeta gets beaten up and cries again but then baby Pan does a her dad and kills Freeza in one hit. Then the world sees this and says "Wow! Mr. Satan's granddaughter is almost as strong as he is, she beat that alien!" and they all go have a party about how Pan is the strongest Saiyan and then it cuts back to a crying Vegeta that nobody ever bothered to go back and senzu up
That's how I always fanwanked it, even if it probably wasn't Toriyama's intention. Depending on when Vegeta first turned SSJ I guess the same would be true for Trunks too.
They know she exists in Battle of Gods.

okay fine then Pan does the killing blow and then right after the media arrives Mr. Satan punches Freeza's dessicated husk of a corpse into dust and gets all the credit
No. SSJG is just bad.
This would theoretically imply that Goten has a higher base level than Trunks and that Pan has a higher base level then just about anyone.
BRB, gonna go write a fan fic on how Pan is the real Legendary Super Saiyan instead of Broly.
You mean Bardock.
Vegeta needs to stop crying about his daddy issues.
No wonder he married Bulma. She wears the pants in that relationship.
Goten reaches Super Saiyan being a year younger than Trunks, and DBZ's epilogue presents Pan as fairly powerful, so I guess the theory works out.

Z epilogue also presented Pan as the only member of Goku's family who actually enjoys training. I really disliked how GT dropped that, and I hope if we get post Z movies they actually keep that trait. It'd make her pretty unique compared to the other Half Saiyans.
Please stop.
Whatever makes him relevant again.
