First Look at Goku as Super Saiyan Ape in Dragonball?
Yeah, sorry about that. I just typed the headline without a single coherent idea what it meant. As I’ve been told, Goku (the lead character in the upcoming “Dragonball” mvoie) sometimes turns into a giant ape called the Super Saiyan Ape when conditions are right. I think. And if that’s the case, then this may or may not be the first picture of Goku in said Ape form. Then again, we are just a few days post-Halloween, so maybe this is some mask that someone made up for a Halloween party? Well if that’s the case, then it’s a mighty expensive ass Halloween mask. I’m gonna go with this being the real thing, but if it’s not, blame it on ComicBookMovie, who got the pic from one of their scoopers.
Speaking of CBM:
For the uninitiated, the Dragonball series of manga and TV cartoons follows a boy, Goku, from his youth to manhood as he learns martial arts mastery–and saves the world from extra-terrestrial baddies. Several “stages” of growth transform Goku from power to power, and in one form of “Super Saiyan” he turns into a giant monkey.
So, do you guys think it’s the real thing? Cries of joy? Delirium? Vomiting? You decide.
Below: I’ve been told people are going ape over the “Dragonball” movie, but this is ridiculous!
yeah totally and don't forget June 12th...thank god that's not happening anymore... 
It was June 5th but they changed it to April 3rd... I heard its cause they were finished with the ...
Rourke would be good as either the Crimson Dynamo (can he pull off a Russian accent? - probably) or Whiplash ...
I'm glad the originals are back. I never could get into 2 and 3. I have seen different release dates, ...
lookin forward to this flick. But as a Tibetan, it is always not surprising how Chinese flick always will ...
I think it’s the real thing and the CGI hasn’t been done yet so for people to get upset and mad over it is ridiculous because its just a picture and will look better when everything is finished and in live motion….plus it could be just the begining part of his transformation.
All I can say is, if that picture isn’t another one of those fake CGI’s modified from some game, then Fox better not use this concept in their promotion. They already got practically the whole world boycotting with their vampire Marsters.
“Vampire” Marsters is probably supposed to be piccolo when he’s old and he’ll turn green when he wishes for eternal youth.Also, That looks like some Lord of the Rings creature not an ape.
You know, if Marsters does turn green, then by now Fox would have leaked out a shot or too to cool the anger.
FAKE!!!!!
How is this fake? It just doesn’t look like an ape.
this is real, i reckon this is during the transformation phase, not the end part yet since it has a lack of movable mouth,brows etc.
i hope they dont stay true the anime and make it 20 stories tall, maybe just 9 or 10 ft, so the thing can still do martial arts, instead of turning the movie into king kong or godzilla.
you sir are retarded they need to stay closer to the anime they have already literally fucked it enough why should they fuck it more

erm gears of war film??or a bad look alike
cause that does not look like an ape that is the stupidest thing they could have ever done i even if it was for gears and i no its not before anyone says its not its still really bad
As I said before FAKE!!!!! It doesn’t even look like an ape. As super saiyan 09 put it it looks like a lord of the rings leftover.
Ok deffo doesn’t look like an ape, but more like the character freezer or a really bad version of a namec, there are loads of characters from the DBZ unicerse that it could be like!
Yo wes81 It’s spelled freiza and it’s looks nothing like him. And it’s namek not namec.
looks more like a goku going to a game cosplay convintion dressed as a Locust from gears of war :p
Don’t you think Toriyama should have hired Spielberg or to direct this? H =e always respects the original story. Why doesn’t funimation just put a stop to this and do it the way it’s supposed to be done? Is funimation not even aware of this and they’re doing it wrong to avoid being sued or they’re just plain idiots or they’re on drugs.
Toriyama and FUNimation really have nothing to do with this movie nore really have much if any say in the direction of it.
Anyways, Funimation really doesn’t deserve any more part in anything, seeing how they ruined the animation
But Spielberg would be a better director.
How’d they ruin it? You better not say it was because of the music because the music does NOT suck. I grew up with that music and was pissed when it wasn’t the dvd I bought. The FUNimation themes for DB and DBZ are awesome and are my favorite songs in the FUNimation version.
Just like to know, do you know Japanese or have you watched the standard original Japanese series
I own the uncensored version of DBZ that oiginally came from Japan but I like the funimation version better because of the music. Once again how’d they ruin it?
Doesn’t the majority of the fanbase like the original Japanese music more?
In your dreams the funimation music is WAY better. The japanese music seriously gets on my nerves. I even have the funimation DB and DBZ openers on my cell. Tell you what go to to youtube watch the db and dbz opener and then you can see one which is better.
By the way I mean the DBZ opener from the Garlic Jr. saga and beyond. The DB theme never changed.
Super Saiyan 09 is WAY right. FUCK THAT JAPANESE SHIT AND EVERYONE WHO LIKES IT BETTER. The Funimation music is #1. If you watch the dvds and compare them you would see the original music actually is definitely not better than the funimation dub.I mean the funimation dub gives characters like Piccolo,Vegeta,and Cell their own kickass theme. Dont forget the amazing when Goku goes SS3!I found it disappointing when I bought the remastered dvd and it had the original Japanese music.Fuck you japanese retards and faggots who think your music is better. You don’t get better music over in Asia the best music is in America by far. They didn’t even change the music in DBZ they just used the same stuff from DB which is just plain lazy. Priverson listen to the funimation music and compare it to the japanese and you’ll see which one is better.
I appreciate you defending me but the japanese music is still good It just isn’t as good as the Funimation and some people will just never accept that. Bruce Falconer is a god with his composing abilities.
Maybe some people should start learning Japanese. Then they may understand why the Kikuchi Shunsuke a better composer for Dragonball than whoever composed for Funimation.
Bruce Falconer composed for Funimation but as far as I know the Japanese theme for Dragon Ball is the same as the American which is fine because the song’s amazing.I don’t care about the rest of the Funimation music for D8. DBZ is a different story listen to the Funimation music on youtube and you’ll understand why It’s awesome. Type in DBZ theme(from garlic jr. saga and beyond)super saiyan 3 theme(for goku) vegeta’s theme, piccolo’s theme, and cell’s theme and you’ll see how great the funimation music is.
I had tried watching some of the Americanized episodes long time ago for comparison, and had to put the tv on mute after listening to the music in order to keep myself from turning off the set then and there.
i think that it is part of the transformation not the final thing. like thats a frame in between goku and the great ape.
