AGREED. Tarble just looks young, now. Height and voice work perfectly.

That even with their natural-born talent or prowess, two 9 and 10 year old half-Saiyan kids are nowhere near as powerful as a 50-something adult Saiyan who's lived for almost nothing but improving himself all his life?

That sounds right. :D
He's thirty-nine in the special. :wink:

Are we counting years spent dead or in the RoSaT? 'Cuz they'd still count towards "time spent training."

But whatever, I just guessed. :P

I still always think it's weird when Goku's age is mentioned and it says he's like 50 something when he's fighting all these baddies. Always gives me an image of him hunched over with a cane :lol:

Like in my avatar? :lol:

But yeah, he's 47 at the time of the 28th Budokai (48-49 if you count ROSAT), and therefore 50-something if you refer to GT. So with ROSAT, Goku's 40 in the special.

Yay Vegeta in Saiyan armor... (squee). I love him in his Buu Saga clothes, don't get me wrong but I also adore the traditional battle armor. Just fangirling here.

On another note, I really really like Masakazu, always did when I watched Bleach. It was perhaps the main thing I liked about Ichigo, the voice and I truly think he'd be awesome as Table. Although I assume he'll be modulating his voice somewhat so I don't truly expect him to sound exactly like Ichigo.

If he'd gotten an opportunity to stop and toss on some armor, he probably would have.
Well, I like to think that the he got rid of his armor by becoming more "human" during the story.

Saiyan saga : full armor
Freeza, 1st part : upper part only
Freeza, 2nd part : no more shoulders
Cell Saga : the armor is less heavy somehow
Buu Saga : no armor

It was a good metaphor of his character change.

But it's a movie, so I don't really care.

Looks like Battle Statium D.O.

I see no Naruto there.
But I'm probably wrong!(Unless its some new Crossover game series!)

It does seem to be a game with only DragonBall and One Piece. The scan talks about "collecting the dragonballs through two worlds", and there's a "dragon route" and "pirate route". Could we get a scan of the upper portion of the page? There's some red text that's cut off.

Well well.

Since FUNimation holds the rights for both shows now, I don't see why this game couldn't get released overseas.

I like the way you think, Kaboom.

Lets hope this is just a DB/OP game...lets not make it a D.O.N and throw in that darned Naruto and ruin the chances of a stateside release...( I don't hate Naruto, I'm a fan of the manga...but I want this game in the US)

I wouldn't mind buying that game.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

It's some kind of TV game like "Let's TV Kamehameha!"

OK, so I just got that issue of Jump myself. The name of the game is "DragonBall Z x One Piece: Battle Taikan Gomu-Gomu x Kamehameha" (real catchy, isn't it?), and it's for the Lets! TV Play system.

In the game Luffy is trying to collect the dragonballs to restore the world to normal (perhaps meaning to seperate the DB and OP worlds?). You can't quite tell from the scans above, but the people Vegeta is fighting are the Skypia preists, and the caption implies that Enel is straight ahead. The captain to the Oozaru Vegeta picture says that Vegeta is being manipulated by somebody.

Of course he is. I presume if you try to play as him control gets yanked away so whoever you're fighting can bend Vegeta into a pretzel and shove his head up his own ass until Goku shows up too.
