Sorry, it's been at least 8 years since I saw those final episodes. Excuse me for not remembering a character more forgettable than Upa. Also, after looking it up, official sources differ on whether Bra is one year older or younger than Pan, so the movie goes with the one year younger route.

I don't recall anything being said about her, and having just checked (granted they're bad scans, but still), I don't think anyone even acknowledges she exists. She's just kind of in a few shots at the Budokai, and that's about it.

Well yes, I've never seen the guidebooks, so I can't comment on that (I assume you're correct), but what I meant was that the plots of these "DB Revival" movies/specials have been a little messy even by Dragonball standards and I hope they'd catch back up to the original canon somewhat if they do bring the franchise back to full steam in some way or another. I mean, we all watch it for the fights primarily, but I always found the plot line of Dragonball to be more or less consistent, intriguing, and unique, even if there were some holes here and there. The story for this movie just seems a little... sloppy, same with the recent Bardock special and especially the Yo! Son Goku one.
Not that I'm complaining too intensely, I'm all for some 12 universes exploration, but I would like a stronger story behind them if so. |

Outside of "how the hell did Frieza send Bardock into the past", it isn't really sloppy. Most just assume the story is about the legendary Super Saiyan, since Chilled passes on the knowledge of its existence. However, that doesn't mean he's the "Legendary Super Saiyan", just that he was a Super Saiyan in the past. The one Frieza's clan knew and the one the Saiyans knew don't have to be the same one.

Speaking of Bardock wouldn't be surprise if he turned out to be the Legendary SSJ God since he was brought in the past(possible black hole, time travel wahtever BS DB series to give plot armor) since the spread of the SS after the ova in the Xbox game. He probably got 5 more Saiyan people and later on rebelled against King Vegeta, but lost due that SSGod transformation is very short.
Still Broly is our "Legendary Super Saiyan". Also I wouldn't be surprise if there is a SSG2,3 and a great ape form.

@GDB
I try looking at the sources of bra again and according to the Daizenshuu which is from the manga bra is suppose to be older than pan by one year. Bra is only younger in the gt file and since gt is non canon bra should be in this movie and she does indeed make more sense than pan so this mean toriyama didnt even bother to reread his own manga when he make this movie, man this is not good for the show. He really should have just left db the way it's. |

Huh, is it me or does it say Goku ends up losing even though he turned into Super Saiyan God? And Birusu is the weakest among the 12 Gods?
But I like the part of how Vegeta surpassed Goku for a temporary time with rage. I hope he does turn into a super saiyan 3.

I think the action pack fighting scenes and phasing of the movie would change the spoilers since they did say SS God looks good on screen.
Also I think even if Toriyama hates Vegeta he knows the fans love him so he's not taking out one of the characters that make DB so popular.
