In other words, the mutants in Freeza's army were artificially mutated, as opposed to the randomly occuring natural mutations of individuals that I always assumed took place. However, aside from the fact that mutants exist, and that Jeece and Ginyu specifically are mutants, we don't know anything about them.
The word in Japanese that Ginyu uses to describe him and his men actually literally means "natural mutation".
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Thats how I always interpreted it, meaning they were all members of assorted alien races, and their strength was the genetic mutation, rather than them just being full blown mutants all from the same stock.

It's been so long in the making and Toryama is a part of it, so I'm sure it will be very good. The only problem is how long we will probably have to wait to get it. :?

It's been a few months over 12 years since the last movie, 13 years since the last Dragonball Z movie.

That's what I initially thought, too. Oh well. Now I know for sure.

AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!! :P

I read [in this forum] that the special will be shown Sunday and might possibly be aired on Youtube the very next day!

Well, it's currently Friday morning in Japan right now, so I'm hoping it'll pop up somewhere late sunday night.

I don't use torrents (*is afraid of catching viruses*) but if it shows up online, it'll probably be there before it shows up on video-sharing sites.

Wow, it's Friday morning in Japan right now? How does Japan's time zone differ from ours?
I know what ya mean about not using Torrents. They are dangerous, that's why I prefer to have it on Youtube.

I think it's like a 13 hour difference.

I am not going to bring up the whole "that would be wrong/that would be right" and "I am so going to download this" arguments and I don't want to hear everyones opions on the matter (again), but I just wanted to remind you that VegettoEX really hates it when people link to illegal download sites and post illegal scans and such.

Only when it's legally available for English-speaking fans to buy. I mean, he has Neko Majin Z scans right on the site...
