And where is that Mutaito Statue located? Somewhere relevant? And also a shrine? Finally the grand master gets some recognition.
The game as some amazing models man. And the way you said it TheDevilsCorpse now I'm curious too.
Kinda near the new Tenkaichi Budokai grounds on Papaya Island. I imagine it is somewhere relevant but I have no clue really.

Human like Towa? O.o
She gives one quest where she runs to a location and is attacked by zombies so you need to save her. It is probably just a reuse of the character model as is common in MMOs. You get to the island because your plane crashes and you find that many planes have crashed on this island. She could very well be the smoke monster.

I have a Level 60 Shadow Knight in DBO, and i'll return to this game after they will add spectating battles on Tournament (That would be so fun to watch how experts battle for real!) or Air Combat.

Cool pics

In other news, I finally became a Super Saiyan!

I hit level 59 last night on Papaya Island. I can't quest there yet, I assume I need to hit 60 first, but I did decide to go explore some of the area and hit of the map revealers in preparation.
I'm hoping there are some more quests in South Porunga Rocks that aren't in the Dragon's Cave dungeon thing like I had at 58. There are too many of Freeza's remnants bunched together for me to do much in there alone... I haven't explored most of the southeast portion of that region though, so I'm guessing there will be some there.
Just some notes besides Makaioshin's stuff:
- The region really doesn't look anything like what was depicted in the manga, regardless of if it's the version shown back when Piccolo destroyed a good portion of the island for the 23rd Budokai, or the sky shots we got of Goten, Trunks and Videl at the 25th. Most of it is jungle and tropical huts. There are some abandoned hotels that are overgrown with with various plants in the middle of the island, so I guess it could have been a pretty modern place at one time...but I dunno. Not enough "ruins" to make me feel like it was.
- The Budokai grounds aren't new, they share the same exact design as the stadium from the 25th
shown in Daizenshuu 4. They did add some umbrellas and benches near the stage and some landing pads out by the entrance though, but it seems pretty obvious that this is the same old stadium (and the same as the one the players have been using on the mainland) and the only reason we had a different one before this was because the map wasn't available till now.
- The island in the manga that Roshi took the boys to train for the Tenkaichi Budokai seems to be Papaya Island in this game, as the spiral mountain they delivered milk on is at the northeast portion of the map.
- The volcano doesn't seem to have any Namekians in it, from what I saw, but there are still symbols for Daimao everywhere.

Seeing how this one will probably wrap up the Namek plot, I'm curious to see what they do to celebrate Goku's Super Saiyan transformation. Will Towa finally make an actual move towards her goal instead of playing around? Will Miira finally reappear on the battlefield?
Will Bardock be there to witness the reality of his visions?
I'm getting impatient.
If they kill him after this, I'm going to get really... really pissed.

Oh yeah, to those who are playing, what are your character names so that we could add each other as friends in the game? I'm playing on TW, Server 2, my character's name is Zenkai.

Ah, you're right. I had just assumed the new stages were something DBO added for the various preliminary matches. I'll edit it.

Thanks for the pictures Makaioshin. I wish I could play this game.
I don't think the US is ever going to get an official release.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Yeah. It might just be an oversight, but I imagine if Kami could do it once, I doubt Dende should have any real problem with it...
On another note, I've seen some interesting information floating around; rumors that the game's plot all stems from a character known as the Time Lord, and Miira stole his "Time Pass" to travel back after Goku's DNA. This Time Lord has asked Trunks to help him prevent the Time Breakers from unraveling history because as they create more timelines, they use more and more of the universe's Temporal Space". Once it's all used up, the universe will cease to be.
If true, I find that interesting because it which leads to more questions than answers about how this all functions given what we've seen in the series...

That would explain how Trunks became the Time Patroller, and how knew about the Time Breakers & warned Dende in Timeline 1.

Huh, a new deity, wasn't really expecting that but sounds cool. Miira stole it? But isn't Miira a creation of Towa? And wasn't Towa implied to be working for someone else?

I don't think we know all that much about Towa. She's cold, doesn't take too many things seriously and likes to experiment; proven by her creation of Miira and the events of the TMQs. Also, her goals involve Goku and she currently believes Miira is dead...I think that's it. Since she's after Goku, I assume she's the one really wanting his DNA. So she was probably the one who made Miira steal the Time Pass. She may even still have it because of how she disappears into thin air in the TMQs.
Just remember I don't have a definite source that I can track this back to, so none of it is confirmed. We all know how how false rumors a can spread through a fandom like wildfire, even in this day and age. *cough*Sparking Omega*cough* Still, it's fun to speculate...

What makes me wonder is that, if this new info are real, where did or will come from? The new TMQ? I don't see a new guidebook coming.

All I can tell you is it's supposedly translated from the in-game quest text; where in-game specifically, I dunno. But seeing how we don't even have a bestiary with the proper names of all the enemies, despite the game being out in multiple languages and having various bilingual players, I suppose I could see this sort of information slipping under the radar. Still hesitant to fully accept it though.

It's amazing how all this time has gone past and no one has come and actually done a proper translation of events/timeline. I'm sure there are plenty capable people.
