The trailer starts off with its official Rating which was “Rating Pending To Teen”. The Camera pans out in front of a TV with fight scenes and key moments from games in the Dragon Ball Z:Budokai Tenkaichi Series most especially Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. The first scene was Goku fighting Frieza’s fourth form(fourth transformation). The version of Goku in this scene is Goku mid (The Budokai Tenkaichi series has five different Goku’s which are Kid Goku, Goku Early, Goku Mid,. Goku End and Goku GT, the Goku fighting Frieza had kaioken narrowing the list to either Goku Early or Goku Mid. Now from his stance, we can tell it’s not Goku early as his leg’s extended when firing a Kamehameha at Frieza).
Furthermore, other scenes in the trailer included Trunks Sword in super Saiyan doing his finishing move on Frieza. We also get Perfect Cell Perfect Form doing Solar Kamehameha along with Piccolo Early doing special Beam Canon(In the Game Series, there’s Piccolo Early and Piccolo End. The move in the trailer was a super finishing move. You see,Piccolo Early super finisher is Special Beam Canon In Budokai Tenkaichi 3 meanwhile Piccolo’s End super finisher is Hellzone Grenade in Budokai Tenkaichi 3).
We see Majin Vegeta doing Final Explosion , Ultimate Gohan doing a rush move , Vegito transforming into Super Saiyan and fighting Super Buu, Kid Buu doing his Planet burst attack, Goku GT in super Saiyan 4 doing 10 times Kamehameha. Then we get to see the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Logo, suddenly we get a scene of Goku transforming and the screen goes dark. Fans get to see the display come back with Camera now in full screen HD showing Goku still in the transformation process. Goku later transforms in super saiyan Blue. It was at this fans lost it, the fan excitement was through the roof with a text saying “Get Ready For Battle”. We now see Goku in Super Saiyan Blue flexing his muscle .
