Thank you a lot TheDevilsCorpse. Not too much into the card games, last one I played was Pokémon TCG 13 years ago, but this sounds really interesting.
Probably don't like this fighting system, but if I had the chance to play it, I gladly will.
The only thing I can call destiny in my life is to be born in this small corrupted country with low level of living with lack of merchandise and world pop culture.
Thank god for the internet, only thing that comes here is heavy mainstream and 80% things I buy are imports.
Only way for me to play arcades is probably UK or Japan

Your Czech eh? Cmon, it's not that bad there, you make it sound like somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

Which it is quite in the middle of nowhere. Something like interchange between the west and east part of Europe.
It's quite okay in capitol city, but when you visit some of the villages in Czech and compare them to French or German ones,
it looks like in Balkan after bombing spree

When Dragon Ball was huge around the Europe, we had Pokémon, Digimon and Beyblade.....

So Bardock's tail doesn't become golden?

I´m still really into Digimon, but Beyblade kinda ...died.Though its rapidly regaining popularity all of the sudden.

I presume his tail doesn't become gold because this isn't Dragon Ball GT.

I was Thanos before the MCU existed!

And there was much rejoicing.
But seriously I´m kinda sad that his tail isnt golden because I always thought the fact that the tail turned golden in GT was neat.
But know people can back up their theory of SSJ being the "true" power of th Saiyajin while th Oozaru was kinda a "false" way to achieve it, which is the reason why the tail doesnt turn golden, becaus eit represents the Oozaru, or something like that. I dont know.

I always thought that the tail was attached to the level of ascension achieved.

I guess, since we never saw any saiyajins with tails turn ssj in DBZ, they were either unsure if it should turn gold or not and so left it, or Bardock's wrapped tail was overlooked as if it were merely a brown belt and so was forgotten. I always figured that if the hair on their head turned gold, there was no reason any other hair wouldn't. I guess we'll have to wait and see which path the manga takes before deciding for sure if the tail is definitely meant to turn gold or not (even then, it could still just be a design oversight

).

Off topic. They came out with a new anime and manga. Its shows on Cartoon Network in mornings.
On-topic: Looks nice.

Well... In the manga we will see a WHITE taile... I suppose

Indeed, thus far it has been white. But the question still remains, will it turn gold? My guess would be that, unless there are colored pages, it will remain white (it would be cool if the tail alone were gold and be the only thing colored just to emphasize it lol), meaning we will never really know!

Unless there was to eventually be an animated version of the story. But given the laziness/cheapness they show towards DBZ these days, it is unlikely that will ever happen.

There is a possibility of a colored title page for the chapter, similar to the first one, but I still won't hold my breath.

Well, if the tail were meant to be brown, they'd color it gray in the manga, wouldn't they? I mean, Saiyan tails were gray in the manga.
So, if they make the tail white, that would be an indicator that it's meant to be gold.

Actually GT makes some sense, all fur of the body would turn gold, not just hair and eyebrows.

Yeah, really the tail and all the hair on body if there are any should by gold by common sense.
You don't need to engage in any of the in-universe elaborates.
I think it's only ''some card game'' and we don't care thing, aside the copying characters from this series.
For the special ones, it came probably like this: ''Hey, we will make a super special character, attach Goku's SSJ hair to Bardock.''
Simple

) I know from publishing house how it goes in here. We are in press and making thing fast and the cheapest way possible. My chief always says: ''Don't fuck with it, just go. It costs us time and money.''

I personaly see Dragon Ball Heroes not just a video game, but a new chapter in Dragon Ball. I mean, they gave us SSJ3 Trunks, SSJ Bardock, new animation, 13 brand new avatar characters, even a new 3-part manga about how Bardock became a SSJ. And I'm sure that we will get more things from this game. Too bad most of as will probably never be able to play it.

Not to be a nit-picker, but in GT Goku has to be Super Saiyan 3 before his tail goes golden.

Just saying.
