Broly spoiler: When did Goku learn to hold someone in place with ki? Is that a SSG thing, did he learn it from Hit, or did they just make it up for the movie?

Same time he learned to read minds. Vegeta also fired those bursts of air while in God form so I think they just kinda made some stuff up because it looked cool.

They were cool moments and I hope we got more weird uses for ki.

DBS Broly basically set up two or three new movesets for each character in fighting games and that was cool as hell.

Out-of-series explanation: Director Nagamine wanted to show his own interpretation of the God forms. Previously, they were just "punch harder" and "punch even harder" as Super Saiyan forms tend to be, but Nagamine's interpretation was more interesting

V-Jump interview with Nagamine posted:

Beyond that, I personally wanted to make Super Saiyan Blue look crazy strong, and to clearly show the gap between it and Super Saiyan God. The two of them have rather different fighting styles: God relies on predicting and dodging the opponent’s movements, plus godly techniques rather than power. Then Blue puts all the emphasis on bulldozing the opponent with brute force.

The God Bind (is there any point in spoiler-tagging this? It appears in the trailers) is a show of said godly techniques, that aren't based on power, and a really cool one at that.

So when he learned it...likely when he managed to get a good grasp on god Ki, but never used it until now because we didn't have Nagamine overseeing things.

Man, can I just point out what a dream team Broly was? Toriyama doesn't need an introduction, but then we have Nagamine directing, an excellent voice cast no matter what language we're talking about, pretty much every amazing animator Toei could get to (Shida, Takahashi, Tate, hell, even Yoshihiro Umakoshi from Precure/MHA fame!) who brought the new, beautiful designs by Shintani (who also served as animation director, not just character designer!), all under Sumitomo's excellent soundtrack that even paid tribute to us, the Latin American fanbase.

It's the kind of thing that gets me very waku waku and incredibly doki doki.

Pretty bummed out we didn’t get to see Broly being friends with his grass dinosaur buddy again at the end of the movie.

You know in your heart they're just gonna give Broly the Super (AKA badly-animated) treatment before moving on to the new stuff.

Well, that was just an incredibly good piece of Dragon Ball animation

Whis really came off as downright sinister at the end there, that smirk of his face as Gogeta went for the kill shot was extremely unwholesome. Maybe we will get the Angels in an antagonistic role one day?

Also Cheelai owned, go Cheelai.

Goddamn this is about as perfect as Cell.

But if we're changing the title, can we stop using "Dragon Ball Z"? It's 2019. The Z part may still have some meaning but we're in the Super era. Just Dragon Ball would be completely fine.

I actually figured Goku's whole paralysis thing was just him imitating Roshi. Lightning Flash or Thunder Surprise or whatever it was called?

The lyrics on the two VS Broly songs are there specifically for the Latin American fandom, as a response to the crowds that Goku Vs Jiren brought.

Lightning Surprise, I think. And both moves are very different in how they work, Roshi's creates electricity, Goku's seemingly forces his godhood into his target.
