I'm not going to get my hopes up, but we have a image of Earth with Friday as the date for when we get new information on a new game. Then you have this Tony guy(no idea who he is) asking everyone to give him a few more days. It's Tuesday, Friday isn't far and the whole earth plus "Plan to Conquer the World" thing SCREAMS they are one in the same. This could be the new game, and if it's not...I'm not holding my breath for the Japan Expo.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Okay it now says we have two days left to wait, and it seems to be zooming up to Europe. http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/sbs/ Maybe to advertise the japan expo? As a, "the plan to conquer the world starts here" thing?

THIS IS IT! This has to be it! Xbox 360 is dead in Japan so why would the dbz 2013 game xbox version be relevant on a Japanese website? It will most likely be on PS3 in Japan only; then Xbox 360 and PS3 everywhere else is the world.

So don't say "Oh, its only for PS3, its not DBZ" is just silly. This has to be it. And if its not, then.....I'll cry

This seems to have now something to do with Namco Bandai's "Plan to Conquer the World", so it's spread now to Dragon Ball / Gundam / Saint Seiya / SHMUP / One Piece / 3D Space Shooters and others.

For a second I thought you posted news but it's just an assumption, meh. Let the fanboy-ism die already, just do, GogetaSSJ2.

Are you....are you calling me out? That's the first time you've addressed me by my username. Sometimes its hard to suppress myself like that when we've been waiting longer than usual for a game that normally should have been announced a month ago. Everyone is on the fence right now, but I mentioned before that my expectations are Low due to namco bandai's recent track record. I am most certainly not a fanboy if that is what you are implying. But please accept my apologies if I startled you like suggesting I had posted news. I'll try to keep the CAPS limited for now on.

Burst Limit, Raging Blast, Raging Blast 2, and Ultimate Blast were released in both PS3 & XBox 360 in Japan as well.
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.

Oh, awesome! I wonder how an 8-Player Battle Royale would play out. I'm definitely excited if this is true! I'm glad they're trying something new!

It has a video of Zenkai Battle Royal, so I guess it's a port of it, or at least, it's based on it.

If the game is featured in next week's Shonen Jump, we will know if the information is true in a few hours at worse.
Jump usually leaks on Wednesdays.

Naruto & Bleach are already scanlated, so Jump is leaked already.

Fuck yes, those pictures look great! So glad they are using new character models, I got freaking sick of those Raging Blast/UT models. That picture with Goku about to confront Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz is just epic. Since Budokai Tenkaichi came out for PS2 I had always wished for a game where it was possible to have at least more than just two characters on-screen at the same time, fucking good.

What are you talking about? They look like the same models with a new coating to me.
