Originally, all I knew was that they belonged to "Sakiyomi Jan Bang!", but I couldn't find their names before posting. Info about Minami Akina is plentiful, even on English sites, the other two hosts always seemed to be left out. A lot of searching later, I've finally figured it out. They are the comedy duo "America Zarigani", and I here are their names; Yanagihara Tetsuya and Hirai Yoshiyuki. I'm not 100% certain which is which, but I think this is right; Tetsuya (Vegeta-spoof?) and Yoshiyuki (Nappa-spoof?).

I know the names come from "America Zarigani", but is there any sort of pun from them as is?

Also, anything of interest said here? I'm assuming it just says you can unlock Super Saiyan for the Saiyans by gathering the Dragon Balls and wishing for it or something...

Any word for Majin's and Freeza Clan's transformations? Or they are left out? :( And also, can Akina and the other two guys become SSJ too?

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I have a question, is the full commercial with Vegetto released?

You already know all the information we currently have about the subject, you'll have to wait like the rest of us.

Personally I don't think the other races need transformations, but that's just me. Majins don't really transform and only Freeza and Coola are shown to have transformations, this leaves it debatable, but it is possible that its not a trait all of them share anyway.

Haven't found it yet. I'm actually surprised it hasn't surfaced, the next set is almost due for release.

Seems we're going to have to wait and hope that there is another DVD release sometime in the future that they will put the recent Heroes commercials on, because it doesn't seem like we are getting the full version of the Vegetto one before the next set of cards. I've done a lot of searching, and found nothing. So unless someone who understands the language feels like searching fro something I might have missed, we're out of luck.

That said, the next commercial is here, though not the full thing yet. It features "LSS" Broli beating up SS Goku, and the Hero transforming after not being able to watch beating. Halfway through the commercial, we get our first look at the SS Berserker and Elite on a card, but they are mostly covered by an animated hand atop their avatar card. I'd expect images of them soon though...

BTW, here's the commercial: http://bandaitv.jp/streaming/dbh7cmblong_8h3a.asx

Wow, that was fast. As for the Vegetto one, do we have any proof that it even exists?

I see no reason for them to fully animate 5 out of the 6 commercials with about a minute of new animation that bothers to tell a short narrative, and then only do scenes for the one we haven't gotten the whole video for. I don't know why we haven't see it, maybe no one taped it or maybe they never released the full version, but I'm pretty sure it is out there.

Is Dimps really the developer of DragonBall Heroes??
I don't really think so, probably Namco Bandai is just using Dimps models. There are rumors, that Dimps were working on the DBZ card-arcade-games.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.
