That actually looks kinda cool.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Dong Hyun Kim? That dude is badass. Oh right, Dragon Ball... those do look really cool. I especially love the cover for Vol. 10. Goku vs. Piccolo awesomeness.
No images in sigs, by the way.

Those ones that I picked have some of the most random, off colored covers I've ever seen.
Be grateful the filler in Dragon Ball doesn't suck like the 3rd arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

So by "pirated", I gather that these ARE the actual manga reprinted by bootleggers, am I right?

Anyone else find it amusing how Gohan's clinging to Goku's leg as he's holding up Buttah?

I know this pirated edition as well. I have more images of it.
As you can see, they poorly redrawn the entire page

In addition, there is an Indonesian AF manga!

Do you have any more images of the Indonesian AF manga or a link where I can see the whole thing?
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

Huh, the kanji on Kuririn's back from the page with him and Vegeta looks like it's not the "Kame" mark, but I can't really tell what it is. Also, Ginyu appears to be hornless.

That's not even a kanji. Present Korean people hardly use kanji, so I guess the man drew that just didn't understand what the mark said and depicted it slapdash.

lol! Well, yeah, when you consider the $100 million budget restriction, can you really blame them?

Apparently Korean Freeza has chameleon powers. He changes color in every cover

These are amazing... I absolutely love the cover art to many of these, and I would love to have them in my collection. If anyone has any doubles that they would like to get sell or trade, please let me know.
All the best,

Wow... somebody took images from the manga and coloured them while they were having an acid trip. Wheeeeeee...!
*waves hands in front of face in a mock-excited manner*
These are crap :/

Holy mother of God... These. Suck.
Balls.
Also,
DongHyun, your avatar is too large, and images in sigs is a no-no. Just so ya know.

New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!
