Which makes me wonder if I was right when I suggested someone would just bring 1 uber strong guy.

It really doesn't look great, the filter has absolutely crushed the dark detail. It looks like Season 1 of Funimation's home releases.

So many new cards for Dragon Ball Heroes. Bandai must be wetting themselves in excitement.

They don't look very Toriyama to me.

I don't know what it is but something feels off about them.

I'm pretty sure the blacks are supposed to be dark in those shots for dramatic effect.

Not particulary

[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

He could be grey so he could easily pass for the same colour as the character in the opening. Mainly though is that he's wearing the white gloves.

Plus between him being all there mysterious on the podium, the only fighter on the podium and then all focus he got in the opening. Then yeah I'd definitely say they were the same character.

New theme and opening are gooooooood. Do we know if the new song is "permanent"? The sequence itself is definitely arc-specific, more than most DB intros, so I wonder if they'll do a new sequence to the same song once the arc is over, or if they'll go back to "Chouzetsu Dynamic!", or do something entirely new?

I actually really liked "Chouzetsu Dynamic!", but I might be in the minority around here about that... :lol:

I think there's a chance the sequence will change throughout the arc.

We know that the 1st universe we'll be fighting is Universe 9 so maybe this is just for that and when we move on it'll change.

I don't think we'll ever go back to the first song unless it's for some special or movie.

Ooh, good point. That'd be a really nice touch, so here's hoping you're right!

The heavy shadow in the image isn't the problem, the issue is that the filter removed details that were supposed to be in the drawings.

ALL OF THEM?!!

But really, this opening has me hyped. I'd go as far as to say it's even better than Cha-la.

It's all kinds of fanservicy too. Like we have Gohan training with Piccolo, Kame-sennin removing his glasses and getting serious, Goku showing off a new technique/ transformation.

It's hard to not get excited at this point.

They did it with the 1st 4 arcs so I don't see why they wouldn't with this.

I don't think everything will change but I'm sure some parts will.

So are we going to get all the info on these guys during the week or have Toei learned to be subtle and make us wait?
