Synopsis
Birusu, the god of destruction who has maintained the balance of the universe, has awakened from a 39-year slumber to destroy everything. Hearing rumours of a Saiyan named Goku who defeated Freeza, Birusu, he seeks him out. Goku is excited at getting the chance to fight a strong opponent and ignores King Kai’s advice to avoid the battle which leads to Goku being beaten. Birusu leaves after uttering an ominous message, “Is there anyone on Earth more worthy to destroy?” Can Goku and the others stop the God of Destruction before he destroys everything?
The film is called Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods (Dragon Ball Z: Kami to Kami) and is set between the 517th and 518th volumes of Akira Toriyama’s original manga after the end of the epic battle with Majin Buu.
