New Card Action Ability for GDM6's CP cards: "Triple". They are...
  • SS4 Son Goku - Teamed with SS4 Vegeta & SS4 Son Gohan
  • SS Gogeta - Teamed with SS Vegetto & SS3 Gotenks
  • SS Bardock (Xeno) - Teamed with SS Trunks (Xeno) & Time Kaioshin
  • Super Bebi Vegeta 2 - Teamed with Hatchihyack & Dr. Raichi
  • Freeza (True form) - Teamed with Cold & Coola (Super Form)
  • Dark(ness) Towa - Teamed with Mira & Dabra (Xeno)
  • SSGSS Son Goku - Teamed with SSGSS Vegeta & Beerus
  • Beerus - Teamed with Whis & Son Goku
We also get a look at a non-CP card. A new counterbalance (and possibly/hopefully a SS3 transformation down the line as well).
  • Son Goten: Xeno (with a fusion mechanic for Trunks: Xeno, likely resulting into Gotenks: Xeno....with sword.)

I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

it's a little disappointing, but the two differences are enough to make me okay with it, I guess.

I'm just more surprised they did this in the first place. Trunks: Xeno is "Future Trunks", not the one from GT. It's kinda weird seeing him with an official fusion...

Weird Time Patrol Goten has his GT haircut, but cool none the less.

That reminds me, I was searching DBH vids on youtube when I stumbled upon this guy's channel.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first, until I saw that he had videos for...
I'm not entirely sure, but do y'all think he's legit?

Is he "legit" in what way? The cards?

If you just said he has unreleased characters, as well as characters from other franchises, then I think you answered your own question. They're undoubtedly "orika / オリカ" (original cards / オリジナルード).

Wait so in Heroes, Goten becomes a time patroller with Future Trunks?!

What about regular Trunks? He's been friendship dumped?? Does he patrol too?

Yeah, finally Goten gets some love! I wonder if this Goten is from the GT timeline or the main timeline (and just has the same haircut as GT Goten). Now, give him SS2/3! I'm not a fan of him, but it's not fair for Trunks to have it while he gets nothing.

Also, did anyone else notice that Xeno Gotenks has a sword?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Well, fusion is of the body and not the weapon so of course Gotenks will keep Trunks' sword in use.

Well, at least he managed to make Cell-X look much better. Get rid of that disgusting abdomen and you got a badass new incarnation of Cell.

Going to check said video, he didn't change anything about Cell-X...

So I'm confused here.

Is the whole thing with Cell X real or a fan fake?

EDIT: The card itself and not the character. Is this an official DBH card?

As far as we know, it isn't.

Nothing changed, just the way he was drawn. He looks terrible in the official artwork.

It says "orika" right in the title of the video. He made the card himself.

Why do people bother with it? They can't play with them, right?

From the videos I've seen on Youtube, it's mostly an aesthetic thing.

1. They design the fake card and then put it in a card sleeve with a real card, effectively allowing them to use an official card they want with whatever art they want.
2. They design the fake card, obtain one of the game's QR-like codes for a card they want to use, and then print it out. This effectively gives them a completely fake card that is still recognized as legit by the machine.
3. They design a fake card just because they like to design them. If the design is good, sometimes they can sell them to other players for a couple hundred yen.

So they can "play" with them, but it's not like they can just use characters that don't exist. Slapping Cell-X, SS4 Vegetto, Naruto, Luffy or whatever on any of the above options isn't going to put them in the game. But they can have an SS4 Goku card with great stats and ugly art, and alter it to their liking.

Just saw the Goten "look".

Why is Toei/Bandai trying to push that disaster GT Goten haircut so much? It always sucked, the outfit doesn't fit the character at all, why is he Time Patroling in the first place, when is EOZ Goten gonna appear in anything? Heroes continues to be the source of the worst ideas

I know right??! EOZ Goten is really such an underrated design. I would love to him as a SSJ with his green/yellow Tshirt.
I'm just glad Goten finally got SOMETHING.

Now all we need is SSJ2, SSJ3 and to make Goten live up to his insane potential and I'll be set :)
I can dream can't I?

Both Goten look nice, though. Maybe he noticed that Trunks spent more time with Pan than himself and became buddies with the other Trunks, who's longing for a friend.
