V-Jump, Baby Janemba and... Toyotarou = Toyble?

Aside from Yamamuro, I'm 99% sure that this Toyotarou is Toyble we know.

That would be pretty interesting.

I don't think I've ever been so un-enthused for new DragonBall material. This just seems like the random Fanfics that people have created over the years that insert themselves into the story. Meh.

This is nothing like those fanfics! Obviously, for that to be true, there'd have to be some Shotacon Yaoi going on in there somewhere! Or something equally disturbing...! Like... Freeza... and...

I've got nothing.

I can see where you're coming from, but on the same token this is an advertisement for something that's actually interactive and aimed at children. Little kids probably love the idea of a game where they're a character in Dragon World. Heck, I bet some adults do, too, considering the whole "Dragonball Online" thing.

First scanlation, jap => french:


-mod edit- a new thread has been made for scanlation specific discussion.

[Tzigi]

In the FanWorks section Menkyon DBAF posted the French version of this manga:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WmHzmosbV4c/U ... DBHVM2.jpg

The translation would be as follows:
page 1
The sinister Baby Janemba
Toyotaro's manga
Beat
After school Beat goes to...
Battle guide Sora
You are here, Beat!
Go ahead, try the 4th part of GM! [no idea what that is supposed to be]
Be it Cell, Freeza...
...or any other enemy, I'll defeat them!
Right!
But this time, the enemy will be a terrible one!
Time period unknown.
But where...
A super-boss-like level!
V-JUMP welcomes with pleasure a new hero: mister Toyotaro!
page 2
What?
Who is this guy?
I thought so, that you wouldn't know it, Beat. It's the result of Baby having become a parasite of a purely evil being.
Baby Janemba!
Baby and Janemba have fusionned? But it's madness!
You wanted to be the most powerful hero? Surpass yourself, Beat!
It's true... I'm not the only one to fight in Dragon Ball Heroes.
Kuu...
Let's go, boys!
Let the battle begin!

Just bear in mind that this is a translation from French and not from Japanese...

^ Nice, thanks a lot!

Also, this story seems to take place on the Dragon World we all know and love. There is Capsule Corp. in that world, and also in the very first panel we can see the Satan City Primary School. So it could take place in the future, after GT, with the DBH game being based on the real events. So, the Saiyan boys & girls in the game could be descendants of the Z-Senshi, since they look like them.

I have to say I look forward to more of this. Maybe this could be the opportunity of seing an adult Gotenks! I really hope this gets animated!

You make a good point. I guess I just feel that with all of the lackluster stuff we've gotten over the past few years (JSAT aside), they're putting so much effort into a product that I'm not really that into. Now they're making a Manga based off of it that pertains to GT of all things.

[macho_man]

So Toyble could have a chance to be animated, just DBHeroes but... it sounds great!

[Hellspawn28]

I wonder if it would be possible for Toyble to make more official Dragon Ball stuff for Shueisha? I doubt he can make his AF manga into a license product since his AF manga is based on other fan fiction ideas and we have no idea who originally created Xicor. Not to mention I doubt Shueisha would think a sequel to GT would be successful since GT was never that popular from what I've seen.

[JeffJarrett]

It appearantly takes place in the Dragon World, but before or after the event with Goku Jr.

Dub and Peter's appearance indicates that it's not too far in the future, maybe right after GT, since Rock from the same manga appears in Dragon Ball Z.

[Raykugen]

Com' on, this doesn't take place in anywhere, is just a minimanga which is doing promotion to a videogame, there is a lot of promotional mangas, this it's just a kid playing a videogame, it doesn't have the "objective" of be part of the story or canon, is just that, an advertisement in manga form.

[JulieYBM]

I'd certainly welcome more official work from Toyble. I'm not sure what his previous job was, but it'd be pretty awesome if he could create Dragon Ball comics full-time.

Thank you! I was going to say the same until you mention it. I think some people here over look some things. Not everything DB related is trying to fit in the timeline. No different how most DBZ movies where like Movie 2, 7 and 12.

[macho_man]

Thanks Nostal for the scans. Chapter 2 - New pages.

[NeoKING]

Luud and Baby!! In official manga form!! Am I the only one who gets giddy seeing a GT character in an official manga?

*I mean official as in a manga authorized by Shueisha / Jump / Whatever; not canon.

[JulieYBM]

I want more GT characters in comic form. GT doesn't get enough love.

[NeoKING]

That art's awesome. I'd want Toyotaro to be the artist of an official GT manga.

[desirecampbell]

Maybe I'm just forgetful, but is this the first official art of a female super saiyan?



I know there's been female super saiyans in DB Online (and apparently DB Heroes), but is this the first non-game-engine art we've seen?

No, we've had art of the different female Saiyan clases before this (both normal and GT versions), and art of the Heroine for at least a year now on the website, the various V-Jump issues and even Ultimate Mission's cover art (I Think)... Hell, we even had animation of her transforming into a Super Saiyan just last month (or was it the one before?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... RHU#t=101s

Couldn't find it with the original music, sorry. Was pathetic because I had to search for Hoshi instead of Heroes just to find this version. -_-

He is so busy with DB Heroes and DBAF, please don't stress him!
P.S.: But it would be great too.
