New Facebook Dragon Ball hoax?

Post by hunterxhunter21 » Sat Apr 06, 2013 2:32 pm

I guess this has been making its way around Facebook.

I've been trying to calm people down. Anyone know what interview, if any, someone may have mistranslated?

I've seen that picture and shared it on my timeline yesterday to prove it's just a fake rumor.

Dude......c'mon...........really?

Talking to whoever started the rumor and the accompanying pics, not the OP.

Don't believe in these stupid fan rumors unless there is proof to back it up.

I've seen this in several YouTube comments as well.

Looks like this is becoming the new AF/Hoshi/whatever.

My girlfriend sent this to me yesterday. I still have no earthly idea why people start rumors like these. I mean, I know *why* they do it, but I just don't understand it.

Though the idea of Toriyama holding, let alone attending, a press conference is just hilarious.

I wish they wouldn't have included that last thumbnail screen. :-s

This is just another Hoshi.

*Is now imagining Toriyama at a press conference in that sweatsuit he wore when they showed Nozawa interviewing him. And everyone else at the conference are wearing business-suits.* XD

I think that, luckily, they killed their own rumor by choosing to say "200" episodes. Now if they'd said "13", or "26", that would be believable. (I think even 52 would be stretching it). I feel less people will fall for their hoax since they made up such a ridiculous episode-count. Nobody green-lights 200-episode-long series.

I hear it's called Dragonball NSFB.

That stands for Naked Sweaty Fan Boy

If it's not on Kanzenshuu it's not real. :)

I don't know why people want a show over 200 episodes? The biggest issue with the original DBZ anime was the placing with the episodes. I think 50 episodes or maybe 100 episodes can work, but not 200 episodes.

While it's not announced, it's hinted that we will get something new, which could probably be a new series.
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.

Fake, but I've been hearing people say this very thing IRL.

Pretty sure there hasn't been anything at all hinting at a new series. We just got a new movie. Wishful thinking is all that is.

Toriyama attended a press conference? :lol:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't know why people would want a new series. Fuck that, it's all about the big screen! :)
