I have the DB sets. For one, they're 100% the same as the original TVB broadcast, so it's censored. Quality is not that good, as they have 7 or 8 episodes on a disc. Strangely hard-subbed (well, maybe that's not the good word. It's a separate subtitle file, but you can't turn it off O_o). Only buy f...

It's pretty neat if you like the old card RPG's of DB. And it can't cost that much now, so it's a pretty safe DB game to buy.

The Japanese version has instrumental versions of several DB themes (Makafushigi Adventure, Romantic Ageru yo, Mezase Tenkaichi and the song that plays when Gokuu attacks the Red Ribbon base), which all have been replaced in US/EU versions.

I couldn't care less for blood, if only Atari had left in the CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA animation in the game >.<

(Strangely enough, they had kept the CG opening animation in Saint Seiya - Chapter Sanctuary for the PS2, also by DIMPS)

Sneaking in before the lock comes, CT has never been released in Europe, neither SNES version, nor the PSX remake. Now go send angry letters to Squenix.

He isn't inclined to grant wishes Neither is a Djinn. Just because our favourite blue Genie from Alladin does, doesn't mean it's a accurate description of a Djinn. ;) I think it was established in an old thread Djinn is a pretty accurate translation for a majin. http://db.schuby.org/daizex/viewtopi...

In Jump Super Stars, bad joke is actually a special move of Gokuu. I think it blocks out the use of support characters by the opponent.

Chi (or Qi in Pinyin) is the Chinese Mandarin pronouncation of the kanji 気, while ki is the Japanese pronouncation.

I suspect Viz chose Chi/Qi because it's more known than ki as a technical term.

I loved the Doraemon JttW movie, the sweet memories :") Still have the original VHS somewhere... One example comes from the Doraemon movie, in that it showed that Niu Mo Wang/Gyumao/ Ox Demon King is the villain of the story. But in fact, he's only one of the many obstacles in the book. I tend ...

I read it. Several times. And saw several series of it. And read a abridged/retold version of it. Absolutely love it. For the people interested, I recommend Feng Shen Yan Yi / "Creation of the Gods" too. Also a Chinese mythological story (about the fall of the Shang dynasty) and even has a...

Just checked, it was the hardware only. I'm sure places like Amazon.co.jp still won't ship software out of Japan, but you'll have your vendors like Lik-Sang and YesAsia or whatnot that will. Depends on where you live, Play-Asia, and I guess Lik-Sang too now, won't ship PSP hard- or software to the ...

The erratical "Dragon Fire" was used in the US dub of that movie. (instead of Dragon Fist, which I think was used in both DBGT and Budokai 3)
