So Mechikabura wants to be young and Towa's now a Demon Goddess. Standard fare, but still cool.

Maybe the Dragon Balls that Towa has is the one that summons Mr. Poko Poko.

Mr. Poko Poko should be a creation of the Pokopen technique (regular Namekian reproduction for who aren't demons), the same as Gamelan and Bongo for the Poko Priests. As well as originate from Naraku's side of things, not Dende.

Though this isn't DB Online, so who knows.

Really? I read that he was a 'Mashenlong', so I assumed he was from a set of Dragon Balls and also granted wishes.

The creatures summoned via the Poko Priests (Bongo and Gamelan) are also just called "Shenlongs" in the game if I remember correctly, even though they should be more akin to offspring like Tambourine and Cymbal.

There's also this bit you translated back during the Makai Birth Arc that still dips into the Xenoverse plan with Toki Toki:
  • Demon God Demigra: I'm the future Demigra, who has turned into a Demon God. Foolish past self, use Tokitoki's power and you'll turn into a God that rules over the time of the whole Universe. Now, behold my past self that gained power!
That out of the way, I like all the new content and info, but so far it's just feeling like yet another rehash of Piccolo Daimao.
Is the Super Heroes manga an adaption of the Heroes arc, or is it a completely different story using the same characters?

It's hard to say concretely right now. It's been stated to be an adaptation of the Makai material in the God Mission series, but so far, the first chapter retreads through the VERY basic events of Online/Xenoverse/Heroes (game), but is nothing like the actual story in terms of execution. The second chapter is trudging into material for Super Heroes that we haven't seen in the game yet since the upgrade isn't out yet.

That first chapter may have just been different to set up the Super Heroes material. We won't know for a while.

It was already summarized on the previous page.
alakazam^ wrote:Mechikabura/Mechickaboola/whatever was revived by Towa using the energy stolen from strong people. He calls her his "dear subbordinate". His body is rusty so he can't move properly but Towa suggests using the seven orbs created by the person next to her (brainwashed Dende?), which can grant any wish. This way, Mechikabura can become young again and take revenge on the Time Kaioushin.

Lo and behold, it turns out the Dragon Balls scatter and they have to gather them to make a wish, which annoys Towa. No problem though, because Mechikabura soon finds where one of them has headed, crossing space-time. Towa is about to go get it but Mechikabura urges her to wait: he'll grant her Demon God powers.

That's all I could find.
Also, a better look at Towa's Demon God state and a mention of Dark (Ankoku) Dragon Balls.

It looks better than Dark Towa but honestly, they easily could've just kept her regular appearance and I don't think anyone would complain. You don't see Piccolo getting new forms or even a new outfit.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Man, I just cannot get properly used to Demon Goddess (or whatever you guys started calling her) Towa's horns. This Mechikabra character seems interesting, though. I wonder who he actually is.
Time Breaker Dende though

Trunks is already with long hair, it makes me wonder that this takes place further than Xenoverse (not counting Dragon Ball Online, as it is totally an adaptation of Heroes/Xenoverse stuff).

Hope someone can translate those scans. Also, is that really Dende?

Who's the artist for this? Definitely not Toyotaro or Oishi.

Yoshitaka Nakayama.

They don't say who that is

The scans weren't very clear. The only noteworthy thing was that Towa got one Dragon Ball and that Mechikabura summoned "Majins" to get the other 6.

This story with Mechikabura would be interesting to read if it was translated. It's too bad Viz or anyone else didn't do the Victory Mission manga.

A little late to come back to the name discussion, but Herms suggestion was to go with "Mechicka-boola" for his name.

I'm not too fond of hyphens though, so I'm just going to smush it into Mechickaboola.
