DBZ portion of Manga to be in full color?!

[VegettoEX]

Ni... niho... nihongo... wa...

Ain't nobody got time for that.

(Thar be sum craaaaazy stuff between the Full Color and the Saikyo Jump Q&As today. Geeeeeeeze, yo. Some it's just "OK, sure, cool" and some of it's "Did we really need to know that?" and some of it's "That's not really saying anything" and some of it's all "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?!?")

[Gaffer Tape]

Oh, geez. Why am I afraid it's going to be more things that are going to annoy me and make me wish Toriyama would just stop?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I don't want to be the guy asking for a specific time for it to be put up, because I know you all have very busy lives and you don't have to be doing this for us in the first place. When the staff get's all "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?!?" about new information though,...it gets you a bit more than curious.

So I don't want specifics, but do you guys think we should be expecting these "soon"? Or do we have a couple of days to wait as a grace period to get all of them in order before they are posted together or whatever? I'd like to know how to manage my hype and if I should be distracting myself with other things instead of waiting. lol

[VegettoEX]

I don't know. Julian teaches. Jake saves the planet. I just make the skeleton pages for them. And Heath drinks beer and fixes the website so the rest of us can do what we're doing.

Ideally? Within the next 24 hours. Realistically? Within the next ten years.

I'm currently listening to old episodes of the podcast and it's so hilarious to hear the Daizex staff of 2006 ("Video game news? Again? Give us something good.") next to the Kanzenshuu staff of 2014 ("Give us a FREAKING BREAK here!"). If you guys only knew what was coming back then...

Hang in there, guys! You can do it! And thanks for the warning. Now we can all be mentally prepared for when Toriyama dishes out the crazy.

W-what...?

[garnetjester]

Bahahahaha that's awesome. I mean, it's so silly and they are serious characters so it makes that tidbit all the more interesting.

[Cold Skin]

Wow, I love those name. They are similar to each other, just like they are physically, but each of them has its own spin as well.
I mean, Lazuli (possibly written "Lazuly"?), is a name that sounds quite feminin (Emily, July, etc...) while "Lapis" is more snappy and goes well with the male C-17.

Unexpected, but very fitting name for the twins (or just brother and sister, cause I don't remember if it's ever actually mentionned that they are twins or if they are just "regular" brothers and sisters who are not the same exact age).

Toriyama keeps coming up with great stuff, adding logical and meaningful information for C-16, and now for C-17 and C-18.
Can't wait to know ever more!

But what kind of info can he give us for the Boo arc? Who is Videl's mother perhaps? Apart from that, I can't really think of something that had fans wondering for years...

[Makaioshin]

No wonder she stuck with 18(assuming she remembers her real name).

The Boo arc has Babidi and co., fusion, the Demon Realm, the hierarchy of gods, and the ending for the series. If anything I think that it has more topics to talk about than any other arc.

Artificial Human No. 17 is Lapis and Artificial Human No. 18 is Lazuli? I kinda like the names, except for No. 17's "Lapis" which in Portuguese translates to Pencil in English.

Maybe No. 18'll be called "Lazly" for the western side.

Really missing those Terminator analogies where 17 was John and 18 was Sarah.

[Cold Skin]

I guess the original clothes make sense color-wise, then.
While Lapis' jeans are debatable, Lazuly's original outfit is very much "Lapis-Lazuli blue", it's hard not to make the connection when you know her real name and you see her with those clothes!

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Looking forward for the rest new info now.

Also, with BoG causing problems with the 28th TB arc (Goku being too strong for Oob), and since Toriyama is placing Beerus & Super Saiyan God in every backstory he can these days, I hope Toriyama will explain how strong Oob & Goku really are in the Q&A of the final volume to solve this issue (and it hopefully won't create even more issues!).

I thought it was fitting giving their piercing blue eyes (granted, it is a different shade, not "Lapis Lazuli blue", but blue is blue, no?? WelI, I guess that is subjective on culture and language.......(e.g I know in some languages/cultures there is a clear distinction between light blue and dark blue shades of colour, but anyway I procrastinate, yeah I think it is quite an appropriate name anyway!)

[JeffJarrett]

#17 became a Park Ranger. So he and #16 both have the same job after Cell's defeat?!!

Thought not confirmed directly by Toriyama, what #16 became after Cell's defeated is shown in DBZ 2: Super Battle :

Spoiler:

[garnetjester]

I thought 16 was completely destroyed by Cell and there was no way to bring him back, since they tried to wish him back with Shenron and it was impossible.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Viz told me they only plan on releasing up too Saiyan Arc

I asked Viz about this a few days back and it is indeed true.



Then again, it's just as Rereboy and Mewzard said. They probably licensed only the Saiyan Arc to see how well it would do and then decide whether to continue or not based on how well the books sell.

Doesn't look like it's doing poorly, Amazon's having a hard time coping with the demand, so...

Still, kind of disappointing they didn't just license everything at once so we could have them faster. If they do keep going with the next arcs, we'll still have to wait for a bit.
