Of course they won't tell us anything about the rest arcs. They wouldn't say anything about them before an announcement. But that doesn't mean that they aren't working on them. Same about FUNi & DBKai's Boo arc.

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.

Better late then never,I'm sure we will get the first vol or 2 of the Frieza arc by the end of the year

Of course. They may already be working on them but just haven't made enough progress to make an announcement yet.

Basically, I'm disappointed because they're taking it by stages instead of just printing whatever Japan prints by default.

Some Japanese fans seem to usually get them early and spread the information if there is anything exciting to read about. Since Julian usually has a miniature breakdown on Twitter when this happens (it was apparently only the Saikyo Jump stuff that got him this time =P), I'm not sure if there is anything good in there? Maybe after the Twel-Buu Q&A, they either just reprinted that information or didn't include anything at all? Some of the Full Color volumes didn't have Toriyama stuff in there...

Just have to wait and see.

This means they're going to release the original Dragon Ball in colour too? Awesome!

Still we don't have a clue about what Viz is thinking for the future Dragon Ball colour releases.

I don't know about that. Previous Full Colors have had a section called "Enter the Dragon Ball" where they had pictures and information from earlier material. I believe it's just a recap of the events of the first 16 volumes. I have a feeling that this is probably just continuing that.

I think it just says Goku and Chichi's wedding.

It says nothing about a full color version of Dragon Ball.
In the upper part it says Tenkaichi Budokai so it's probably about the tournament or about important events there.
They are doing lots of things related with the Tenkaichi Budokai lately, to promote that part of Dragon Ball Kai. Even DB Heroes has added a tournament and the last set dealt with the Tenkaichi as well.

It looks more like it's related to the Q&A.

Yeah, seems like it may just be material discussing the various tournaments, seeing how it returns in these volumes. Or maybe just a reminder of what all happened at the last Budokai? Seeing how they can use it's return in the Buu Arc to discuss Goku and Chi Chi getting married and then discussing Goten, Goku vs Piccolo and their entering the 25th, etc.
