I guess so, as well. Because I think King Vegeta doesn't send his own son to other planet without a deep problem ---like inborn disorder. Vegeta says Taburu was sent because of his low sence of fighting, but it's not enough to explain..

...to conclude, we don't have to think deeply about it because it's not a serious story. just a comedy

I can deal with Goten and Trunks (I prefer Gotenks to Goten and Trunks, actually; so I'm happy to hear their fusion will be involved).

I wish there were more screenshots or clips of this special. TT_TT

Could you post a link to Sera's blog please?
Sorry if you already have!

Sera's blog says the One Piece special is 33 minutes long.
That's about it.

If anyone wants to know the other run lengths:
Bleach 15 minutes
Yu-Gi-oh 15 minutes
Blue Dragon 10 minutes
Dragon Ball 35 minutes
TEGAMIBACHI 27 minutes
Gintama 10 minutes

EDIT: Don't worry about it, the link I posted before go directly here; as this post wasn't up before I left for work earlier.

2nd EDIT:
You'll have to click "select all" because she typed the spoilers in white font.

Some of these were as short as 10 minutes?!

Damn, we got off pretty darn good, all things considered.

EDIT: I see "DVD" in the bottom of Sera's blog post, near the end. Someone translate!

EDIT 2: Darn, it just says "This should be on DVD."

I read it but there's no details of plot in there. there were some impressions like "The special was so amazing!! i liked especially Vegeta!"

Edit: There was one important information. They had a questionnaire about the DVD release after showing the specials.

It says that they had a questionnarie about the DVD release. The question was "Which special do you want on DVD?"
Then she wrotes "Of cource I checked the DB special!"

Aw, no problem.

So I guess we're stuck for any actual videoclips of the special until sometime later this week?

I looked around but I couldn't find any other screenshots at all.

Oh! Does anyone know what color Goku's suit is? The fancy one with the Edgeworth neck-scarf.

I pray that Table’s little wife can transform into something bigger (someone please tell me that she transforms) because the thought of whatever it is that they do at night in bed together is unnerving.

I wonder what Bulma’s thoughts about that situation are?

Yup.

Your English is all right, don't worry.

The katakana spelling would be "tâburu", and the sketches we've seen spelled the name as "Tarble" in alphabet.

Is the comedy in this in the same vein as Nekomajin? If it is I might explode with glee. Thanks for the 2chan link kei17, and don't worry about your English. It's better than many native English speakers on the internet.

It looks like Roshi's voice is still the same, but a little better. I was hoping that they would get an entirely new guy. I hate the replacement Roshi. He sounds like he is doing a bad impression of the American Roshi.

Are you in Japan?

If you've seen the special, could you please tell me what color Goku's fancy suit was?

God dammit, I sleep for 18 hours and all of a sudden there's like 5 thousand new responses and the reveal of all the plot >_<

Ok, reactions between Goku and Vegeta seem to make sense because that's the way they act. Vegeta knowing about his brother and not giving a shit also makes sense, Vegeta is still Vegeta. And he's brother looking small as well, Vegeta was a midget, but grew up later, Goku was a midget as well, don't forget, maybe the Earth's poor gravitational pull makes them grow a little more, so maybe Table went to a planet with greater gravitational pull and didn't grow. About the "no one else knowing about Tarble" thing, I don't think King Vegeta would like anyone else to know about his disappointing son.

Anyway, this special seems fun. I also think Goten and Trunks are annoying. But the Vegeta and Goku parts seen really funny. Yeah of course I would like a new overpowered villain, but that plot formula is overused in Dragon Ball already. Just keep an open mind guys, it's new Dragon Ball, it's fun. If someone around here doesn't think Dragon Ball is funny, then Toryama failed you, for that is the point of all his works: to be funny.

Fanwank time...
でもラディッツは「お前と同じく辺境の惑星に送られていた」みたいなことを言ってるし、明らかにベジータのことでもナッパのことでもない。もしかしたら・・・

But Raditz said "He was sent to a marginal planet like you" so it's not Vegeta nor Nappa. Maybe he was saying about Taburu.. yeah it's really kina fanwank though

Wow, that's a line I've never heard before. VIZ's translation of that line is so drastically different, and I haven't thoroughly read Kanzenban 14 before, so that line never jumped out at me... But, yeah, that line is definitely a mistake on Toriyama's part. That "other person" doesn't sound like Vegeta or Nappa.

Why trust those sketches? Toei and Shueisha always make weird ass English mistakes when it comes to the characters' names. "Bageta," anyone? (From Dragon Ball Landmark or Forever)

Plus, "Abo" and "Kado" should obviously be transliterated as "Avo" and "Cado."

Wait, what? They're not gonna release all the specials on dvd?
They should do a Jump DVD special with all of them!

I tried to do some digging, but all I came up with was this: http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/ean/imgs/1/5/15b58be5.JPG

I think its a pamplet with summaries/screenshots of all of the specials that aired this weekend.

Also; this is semi-unrelated, but while searching for news, I found Masako Nozawa's studio's website: http://www.office-nozawa.co.jp/inquiry.htm

If I lived closer to Japan I'd be tempted to call the number. XD
