Dragon Ball 'Super History Book'

[Chuquita]

Those alternate Great Saiyaman costumes! XD
Also, rl Beerus!
That drawing of Cabba from behind really looks like Gohan.
Heroes draft drawing of the three Freeza-esque avatars had the berserker with hair! (a mohawk of sorts).
Earlier Budoukai 1 models.
So MANY character drafts for Time Kai. O_O Most of them have her with an adult body.
Non-inked pencil line-art for the final manga chapter is cool!

For anyone interested, here is an unboxing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew6RO21iuxs

I actually ordered it after I saw this even tho itll now take 2-4 weeks to ship lol

Huh that power level guide from early Saiyan arc as featured in Weekly Jump seems to have been made by Toriyama afterall or at least that's what seems implied by its inclusion @8:30.

[Doctor.]

Is there anything on BoG's original script?

Nope, not from what I can see in that unboxing video.
Just a bunch of interviews.

Nice catch! So they didn't make it into the Daizenshu and Chozenshu but they made it in this guidebook? Lmao.

I wish Viz would translate this

Some of them were incorporated into the daizenshuu and other places. For instance, it the first (so far as we know) source for Raditz's 1,500 and Nappa's 4,000.

I know, I should've been clearer. I meant the specific power levels that weren't in there like Kami's, Popo's, etc.

[Son Kai]

Hi guys! I would like to know if there are the translation of the comment of the Yoshihiro Togashi that honored Dragon Ball with his arts of Dragon Ball in the recent Dragon Ball History Book

Okay, now I have to pick this up. I love the alternate costumes for Budokai 1 and I've been looking for concept art of them for ages. If I weren't so cooped up at school and swamped with job deadlines I'd head to my Chinatown bookstore and grab it.

Such is life.

They don't really show alternate costumes from Budokai 1. There's a sketch of Goku's casual clothes(the ones he used prior to the Cell Games), but that's it.
When Chuquita mentions earlier Budokai 1 models, she means the in game models of the characters that were changed from having outlined eyes to not having, making them look more natural. Also the earlier model of Goku's face had the eyes lower down on his face than the final model.
That's about it.

Ah, I see.

May have to start my own thread about those...

So I realize I've asked this about previous book releases, but it bears asking on this one too - how worthwhile would picking this book up be if one can't read a bit of Japanese?

Still incredibly worth it. It's a joy to flip through. There's no reason NOT to buy this book.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Well that's a good endorsement if I've ever seen one. I'll have to see if I can find some good deals on it.

I just hope it doesn't up an disappear. These things have a tendency to run out fast and the publisher just never bothers to print it ever again.

How much is it in US dollars + importing and all of that
Edit: actually nvm, I'll probably just end up getting the Spanish version whenever that comes out. My Spanish is at a 6th grade level vs my Japanese which is at a 3 year old level or so

[Ryuman]

Got the book a few days ago. It is an absolute joy. Got a bit teary after going through it all.

I have to say though... Maybe I'm being stupid, but is there a reason we're celebrating the 30th anniversary in 2016?

Wait, there's a Spanish version coming out? Not only would that probably be easier for me to import than Japan's, it would also be possible to kinda-sorta-horribly "fail translate" (ie Google) it for myself, something I wouldn't be able to do with the Japanese version...even if that one would be more authentic.

It's the 30th anniversary of the anime. The first episode of Dragon Ball aired February 26th, 1986. But you could also consider it an extended celebration of the manga's 30th anniversary.

I reckoned it would probably be related to the anime, but bah! Sounds like a cheap excuse to sweep it all under one rug.
Please keep giving us things, though.
