The ascot kind of reminded me more of Miles Edgeworth; and I'm really too excited for this special in general to linger on comments so I'm just gonna sit tight hope one of the members who can translate Japanese comes by to do so. X3

That's really cool; we need to get a full image of that scan so that someone here can translate it. If anyone knows Spanish it would be great if they could take the time to contact him.
I speak and write Spanish but I think it is French...Basically: "The saiyan resembles Vegeta, his name is Table or Tarbul."

There's...really not much to translate. Anything that would resemble a sentence is cut off in that picture. (ie: "So it'd...take for example...be like...when something...frying pan...donkey.") I see [something] "with Majin Boo"; "certain incident" [something]; and "Tahbel" [who's doing something.]

Ah, I understand. ^^;
Thank you though. :3
I hope whoever scanned the image eventually scans the entire page so it can be properly read.

Anyone think Abo and Kado will fuse? "I'm not Abo nor Kado, I am the salsa for your chips!"
At that minute, Goku bursts out of his business meeting to save the day.

When you put it like that, I can see your point. He didn't have to hold out.

That image is from Weekly Shounen Jump issue #36. The original scan can be found on this
Japanese Yahoo! Blog site, but it's not any bigger than the one we already have.

...in fact since it's being made in the same manner as all of the other movies there is a good chance that it will not be canon since none of them where.
It's advertised as a Dragonball special (with the manga logo), rather than a DBZ one, unlike the previous movies, so there's an obvious difference right there.

Looks as though he's Vegeta's brother...
And
what's this? A glimpse into the actual story, or a fanfic based off it?

So Vegeta and Bulma are gonna be visibly loving in this special? Or am I misreading your post?
Rather, I may have mispoken a wee bit. He's obviously portective enough to tell Son not to be selling the Elder Kaiôshin nude pictures of 'his wife'.

The guy suk*s*kidb on the page that was posted earlier in the thread is just musing on where the character came from. He is guessing that maybe he is Vegeta's brother. He also guessed at ターブル(taaburu) name origin. Guessing that it came from
ベジタブル(vegtable) to タブル(taburu) to ターブル(taaburu)
I'm gonna agree that the name origin is most likely spot on. It's very fitting with the naming conventions of everything else. As for who ターブル is we, just like suk*s*kidb, haven't the slightest. I would like to see that full page scanned. Hopefully it will turn up soon.
