Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!
The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

No, as I said in my post, it's not available to most people in the US. The page is region locked.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

I don't know why, it's still there. Either way, it's not like there's any more to see.
....Now we wait.
"The Plan to Conquer the World" would've been more suitable as a replacement name for "Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast" because you know, you get to play as your own customised character and become the strongest of the world.
Still, very strange title to put out there.
I still find it unlikely that's the title for the 2013's DBZ game, based on the previous names that were given for DBZ games.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray
My hope in dbz games dwindled after DBZ kinect. It's like they tried to make it suck.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
Not sure why, but this is the most excited I've been for a new DBZ game in years. Maybe since it's been three years since an actually playable one came out... Raging Blast 2, that is.
-Ultimate Blast was unplayable in the literal sense of the word.
-Dragon Ball Z for Kinect was unplayable in the sense that it was bad.
Also, the potential for new content via Birus and Super Saiyan God, as well as Treevax's pitch that actually seemed to get through to Spike... maybe not, but since it's between two years since a proper release for the first time has gotta mean something.
Interesting, but not exited yet. I want to know more.
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 really have not been hype up for a DBZ game in years. After BT3, I feel mixed about DBZ games and Ultimate Blast made me want to stop playing DBZ games until I hear something good about them.
Those bastardly slimeballs. I knew they were up to no good.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
