This could be the insomnia talking, so I apologize, but I'm against the inherent arrogance of an individual or group of individuals setting off alarms with ZOMG SUUPAA SPESHUL AWWSUM SEKRET while also refusing to share.

I mean, seriously. Why tease? Be a hero and speak up.

Is it the Jump 2008 Special? Or is it within the episodes itself the surprise?

Chris Sabat just put up this unintentionally suggestive screencap from Kai on his FaceBook page, but I'm left wondering why FUNimation has a widescreen master if both the DVD and the Blu-ray are going to be 4:3. Maybe one of them will end up 16:9 after all?

I'm gonna hope beyond hope that they heard our pleas, and Freeza has been recast in time.

Don't worry. I've done my share of speaking up against us being teased while not giving any sort of substantial hints, too. I understand that people want to respect the wishes of whoever accidentally blurted whatever it is out, but teasing doesn't help us.

At the same time, though, the teasing pretty well stopped almost 24 hours ago now. All we have to do is wait for someone who ordered from RightStuf to get theirs and tell us if they notice anything.

So the secret could be a hoax?
My final bet is that MasakoX will be involved somehow. I don't know why.

What are the chances that the CW airing is unedited, and that's the big news? Free Kai (for those who've got cable) would be something I'm sure many would like. XD

Not likely :cry:

I'm not saying it's a hoax. I never even implied that. What I said was that teasing us without being able to say anything about it just wasn't cool anymore after awhile when more and more people were saying, "I know something you don't know!"

I doubt it's a hoax. It's just some major change in the dub that we won't see for another couple of weeks that the vast majority of us has wanted for a long time, it seems.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. Watch me not even notice it. :|

I didn't say you said that, I'm just saying since the teasing has stopped, it COULD possibly, just possibly be a hoax. They haven't given us ANY info whatsoever, besides it's going to be BIG.

Highly unlikely.

We were assuming there would be some kind of nod to Team Four Star earlier, and Kirbopher said that we weren't even close.

Yamcha no longer a surfer dude? But I don't think that's BIG enough to warrant all this hoopla. Hopefully a Freeza re-cast, though highly unlikely.

EDIT: I do have to ask, and forgive me if it's been covered, but will this be revealed in the first box set?

It's pretty shitty on their part, they should've just kept it to themselves...

I hope this is worth all the speculation we're doing. I don't want something like Recoome will be called Recoom.

It's already been confirmed they are using the original dub names due to the still existing copyright on those names. They won't be changing any of the ones they copyrighted soon. It doesn't involve MasakoX or any of TFS, as others have said.

Have any of you considered the possiblity that maybe these 'secrets' can't be revealed due to either being said in private or the people involved being told to keep it shut. People can loose their jobs over announcing they've gotten certain roles in a series and the situation could be similar. While I admit that it is rather annoying with the consistent "I know something you don't", remember someone will get the first set either this week or next from Rightstuff and then those episodes after that will start airing in late June. You don't have as long to wait as you think.

Lol, but honestly you can do that for scenes in DBZ. :P



BTW, I hate to sound like a mod but Silver Sinspawn, your sig is gigantic!

Yeah, I know. Help me decide. The quote making fun of you, or the one making fun of SilverPlaqueVII.
