Basically: Jaco visits Bulma and tell her about Freeza. Bulma makes a giant parfait to entice Whis. (Parfait, that's new!)

Meanwhile, Beerus becomes suspicious of Whis' training of Goku and Vegeta.


Nothing really new in that bottom image, just a promo.
Thank you very much!!! ^^

Perhaps Toei intended to allow a simulcast from Universe 6 from the get go. It would make sense, BoG had only been out a year in the U.S. "F" was released a few months after the Japanese theatrical release, and then they already took a hit in the domestic home release sales for "F" so why not try and milk the film internationally? It also explains why we haven't seen a lot of Champa/Vados so far too.

Except that doesn't explain why they won't let FUNi release Kai Buu saga. Meaning something else is the problem.

Said Twitter account questions if it might be a new movie announcement. Though nothing is obviously said about it being so, or else there wouldn't be a need to question it.

Be nice if an official simulcast did start up, even though I've had issues in the past getting FUNi's site to stream videos at a decent speed.

I don't see why not, Toriyama has watched the FUNi dub of DBZ and even said it was superior to the original after all!

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.

I thought the same thing at first, but unless I missed someone's comment directly equating the two, I think the simulcast stuff is more so stemming from the fact that C&D letters started to go out.

Which, granted, is still totally in Toei's legal right regardless of if they're about to allow a simulcast to happen or not, but still. We can hope something's coming at least.

:shock: He seriously said that?

As for your first statement, I mean I don't know, I wouldn't really care if an american show got simulcast in japan, so why should Japan care if one of there series got Simulcast over here.

Yeah, unless you have a source, I don't believe this. Not even being mean. I just legitimately don't believe it.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

My post about hope for official Funi subs was reacting to the posts about C&D's.

In terms of what I think's going to show up as the "big announcement", I think either a videogame, or a third movie.

December's VJump.

I don't think it'll be anything too big though, because while Shueisha was all "same week as Jump Festa", Dragon Ball failed to get a panel this year. I feel if it were really big we'd get a panel like BOG and F did their respective years.
