Kids get card & board games with fried chicken before
new film opens in March
Kentucky Fried
Chicken Japan stores will begin selling "Smile Sets with Strongest Battle
Goods — Parents and Kids Play Together!" on February 7. There will be
three types: Battle Reversi (top left in bottom photo), Battle Playing Cards
(top right), and Board Game Battle (bottom).
The smile sets tie into the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Battle
of Gods (Dragon Ball Z: Kami to Kami) movie. It is set between the 517th and
518th installments of Akira Toriyama's original manga. Specifically, it is set
during the "lost decade" of story time after the end of the battle
with Majin Buu:
Birusu, the god of destruction who has maintained the
balance of the universe, has awakened from a long slumber. Hearing rumors of a
Saiyan (Saiya-jin) who defeated Freeza, Birusu comes looking for Goku.
Excited that a
powerful oponent has appeared after so long, Goku ignores King Kai's advce and
challenges Birusu in a battle. However, Goku is no match for Birusu's
overwhelming power and is defeated. Birusu leaves after uttering an ominous
message, “Is there anyone on Earth more worthy to destroy?” Will Goku and the
others really be able to stop the God of Destruction?!
Akira Toriyama has been deeply involved in the film's story
and designs from the early screenwriting stages. Masahiro Hosoda (Dragon Ball Z
episode director, Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun) is directing at Toei off a script
by Yūsuke Watanabe (live-action 20th Century Boys trilogy, Gantz, Bloody
Monday, Future Diary). The J-Pop band Flow will cover Hironobu Kageyama's
"Cha-La Head-Cha-La" song, which was used as the original opening theme
song for the Dragon Ball Z television anime series, as the film's theme song.
The film will open in Japan on March 30.
