James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

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. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. 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 only wonder how TDC is going to work this into his project. :twisted:

...I have no fucking idea... The two characters weren't anywhere close to each other in the timeline, and I had Janenba woven in perfectly after the Buu Arc. It's cool as fuck that they're getting more creative than just giving a character a new SS transformation, but this was a giant, and I mean giant, kick to the nuts...more than SS3 GT Trunks ever could have been.

I know you don't want to mess with the placement of things, but you could move Janemba to the Super 17 Arc and have Baby return from hell to possess him. Of course, that means Janemba logically needs a fight before fusing with Baby and Gogeta can't be involved, and then you've got Baby Janemba running around being broken as fuck as far as power levels go while people are supposed to be getting the shit kicked out of them by Super 17.

You could have Gohan beat Janemba and then Gotenks beat Baby Janemba while Vegeta is off fighting Hell Fighter 17. Then Goten and Trunks have a convenient excuse not to fuse for Super 17...

Boy, that really is going to be tough to reconcile.

I wonder if this is why they bothered to introduce SS3 Gogeta, because they were going to create a villain he might actually need it for? lol

BTW, I sent a PM, I don't want the staff to have to come in here and get me back on topic.

Can I get some information on this? Is the character a part of Galaxy Mission 4? Is it a special type of card? Where is it available?

Yeah, sorry i couldn't be more descriptive on Twitter...it's Twitter after all. He's the secret rare card in Galaxy Mission 4, just like most the previous new Super Saiyans were for their sets. You have a chance to obtain the card by playing the game, as you are rewarded with one every time you put your money in to play a mission (I think it was 100 yen last time I checked). I'm not sure if you can just buy booster packs for the new sets or anything, as all those sorts of products, like the gummi packs, always seem to have cards from 2-3 sets back.

Janemba Baby looks pretty freaking badass. Sure wouldn't mind some kind of special with Super Saiyan 3 Gogeta and Gotenks going tag-team to defeat him.

Unless we get Dictator Baby too. That'd be funny lol.

Maybe a Super Buu absorption form of Super Yi Xing Long? At least that can give them a reason to introduce a character like SSJ4 Vegito.

This is glorious and completely random. I hope the game can continue stuff like this.

Meh looks alright I guess... Janemba with a brain.

The devs of this game get cool points for doing something this random that hasn't been done since Budokai 2.

BUT

What I'm confused about is that some people were bitching about how they hate AF this and AF that when Broly got his SSJ3 form. Then Baby Janemba happens and its like Christmas came early?

I guess its because its a breath of fresh air from all the SSJ forms we've gotten over the last couple years.

I am dying to see the trailer for this character though. :)
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Seriously! I mean, dear lord, I don't think I had an initial WTF that hard at the news page since the Dragon Box announcement. Not equating the two, it just wins in the shock value department.

It was quite a shock and it is in the same vein as AF bullshit, but it is done right and he looks really bad ass. Like you said, it's like the return of the Budokai 2's what ifs and a breath of fresh hair after all the Super Saiyan everyone. Even though it makes little sense, it is a welcome addition due to sheer bad assery.

Curved ball, like I said, they want to keep us on our toes, after three somewhat predictable and dragged sets, they throw us Movie 3 and this into the mix, making us wonder what they will do next.
