A "D.O" game?! As in a Dragon Ball and One Piece game without the high-school-ninjas?


Sign me up! <3
(I've got nothing against Sakura and Naruto, but dammit if I absolutely can't stand Sasuke and his Gary-Stu quest to take over the whole damn series).

Oh man I hope Funi can get it released. Plus manipulated Vegeta is always amusing to me. :mrgreen:


Also the Goku in the animated special scan looks SO wonderful. I wish some more screenshots (or character-sheets, *cough*cough*) would appear.

What about the Super Tour specials? Did it mention anything new?




...Like DVD release dates? :)

Cool, this new DragonBall X One Piece TV Play game sounds like its going to be really good. I'm going to try and buy it, hopefully some sites will have it up for preorder once its available.

You all know Jump Festa's site?

http://www.jumpfesta.com/anime/report/index.html

Well the site updated and added a column for the Jump Tour. There are some images showing the event, and the screening of the specials. I noticed that while the specials were showing, the whole room had a good amount of sunlight shining in. So I'm wondering if they are preventing anyone from taking pictures or taking videos. Also I noticed the doors were open, looks like the security is rather tight for this tour =/.

Oh well, best thing to do is hope and pray to Kami that there will be a clip or news from FUNI, telling us the date we'll get this special over here on DVD xD.

I'm sort of new, I had an account a few years ago (goten88gt). Something funky happened and wouldn't let me sign in :P.

I doubt we'll ever get these character designs that have been mentioned in the podcast at one point, let us keep crossing our fingers though >w<.

No, Toyble just said that they were in some scenes (by mistake).

I wonder will Funimation market this as a Dragonball special or a Dragonball Z special.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Hopefully the former, if that is the logo the special actually uses.

Saiyans age much slower than humans, so Goku at 50 still looks the same as Goku at 25.

I mean, Nappa was 50 in the Saiyan Saga. With the exception of being bald instead of having hair, he looked exactly the same as he did at age 30 in the Bardock Special.

Given this, it's quite possible that Goku and Vegeta would naturally outlive even their own children.

I don't understand. I mean, it does take place during the Dragon Ball Z portion of the anime...

That's fairly depressing. :(

I mean, its not like they wouldn't ever see them again--Toriyama's afterlife being what it is--but still depressing that they'll outlive their kids.

Toriyama did say in Daizenshuu 4 that Vegeta would die the earlist out of everyone. Due to stress or something, I think it was.

That's just as depressing. :cry:

I stress-related death though? I can see that happening to him--what with how worked up Vegeta can get over things.

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.
We'll never get this game :?

Yawn, just came out from under my rock, what new news is there?
I've seen the One Piece/Dragon Ball game and Tarble's voice actor, anything else I missed?

Plus SSJ levels are always described as being stress inducing.

That goes to show that in spite of the zenkais and whatnot - there's only so much a live Saiyan's body can take.

And beyond that point, DNA... there's not much you've missed in this thread.

Also, what's this Play! TV thing the D.O. Game is on? Is it some kind of system?

That is so LAME! You have Dragon Ball characters and One Piece characters in a game together and instead of putting it on the Wii/PS3/360 you put it on some TV attachment!? What are they DOING over there!? :roll: :|
I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.
