The Manga was in the same issue as the scans released by ANN right?

I have to admit, I'm shocked the manga hasn't leaked. Though I guess it depends on who has been able to get V-Jump, and what their intentions are.

Dragonball has always been, and will always be a anime/manga property targeted towards young and older children. The series having nudity, perverse jokes, violence has nothing to do with parents not treating their kids like they're stupid but rather the different standards Japanese culture has to approaching such subjects. With that being said standards have changed overtime so Dragonball as well will be slightly different in how it approaches things like sex and violence. Anyone expecting any different is delusional.

With that being said I'm glad the scans seem to reaffirm my suspicions in how the series will be handled.

I suddenly imagined the guy with the manga: "Hahhahaha, dance! Dance for me if you want the leak!"

Huh, I am surprised it or at least some of it hasn't been leaked. Unless the Manga was just a flash back of the events of BoG, OVA etc and wasn't deemed leak worthy, I certainly hope not.

Thinking about it now it seems logical to explain all the events that occurred if they are going to use elements from it. I assume only big fans saw the OVA and read Jaco, probably a few more watched the new movies. But a casual fan may be turned off, if there are mentions behind mentions of things they haven't saw. It's also a good opportunity to make some "filler" episodes with Goku farming, kids adventures,etc... And if it advances and explains/shows Vegeta getting godified,plus the other unseen happenings, all while going forward it's excellent. After all this is a series not just a movie, time is advantageous.

I'm 100% down for another driving-lesson style episode.

Lol! I can't dance - at least not very well :lol:

I hope we get to see it tomorrow.

I also want to see an episode that can challenge the driving episode for ridiculous fun. It's a very high bar.

Farmer Goku should provide some hilarious moments. Though I'd also like to see Vegeta working, too, just for pure comedy value.

Vegeta should be a livestock farmer.

I think I'd rather see an episode of Vegeta looking for work in the real world, and people think he must be capable because he's Bulma's husband and that proves foolish. We've never really scene Vegeta interact with the real world have we?

Yeah but narrating a Super Saiyan God Transformation is a huge letdown!!! Who cares about a movie with 5 minutes tops in the transformation??? I think we need to see more and not take the SSGSS for granted from the Movies.

Imagine if you saw the first SSJ transformation with Frieza in a flashback. Or in Goku's voice narrating it as a fairy tale!

Awful!!!!!!

The tenkaichi was the most social experience we have ever witness he had and we know how that ended up. :lol:

Well, being Goku's rival, he'll probably go through more intense gravity training to be the better farmer.

In that very moment, she knows. She fucking knows. As she handles me the nugget pieces she previously cooked for me, she leaves my room with these words: "Persona 5 is the true savior of the JRPG".
