With the rumored 60 eps, that would be 12 eps a part.
That's pretty much the same amount of episodes the previous parts had gotten.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I hope they don't milk it with Four parts. Two would be more than enough.

Yeah, but it's also NOT their release model.

You will not see less than three parts. I'd wager four, personally.

There's a rumor that toys featuring the Buu arc are coming this spring in Japan, so maybe it's going to be released in April.

I could believe it, falls in check with Madman slipping up and saying the Buu Saga would be out in 2014.

Which again means it'll see a release in Japan.

Do you mean to say these toys will use the Dragon Ball Kai moniker?

It would be awesome if that included a Majin Boo (whatever form) and/or a Vegetto Figuarts. :shifty:

UDM Burst 06 is coming in April. They normally release it on a quarterly basis. Burst 05 is coming in March and the next one is supposed to be released in June, but they're releasing it in April this time. It does imply something.

Also, the anime of Toriko is strongly rumored to end this March. The manga series is going on hiatus and there're multiple leakers on 2ch saying that the data carddass game is ending this spring. I guess Kai or Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers is taking over the time slot.

I would kill for a Dream 9 bumper with Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers and One Piece. I hope this pans out, it sounds very exciting.

Damn you for getting me excited at 11:41PM. >_<

Also, Waratte Iitomo, the longest running TV show in Japan is ending in March, so there's a possibility that they'll increase time slots for anime.

Hoho, that's interesting. What time of the day does Waratte Iitomo air? Fuji's kind of turned away from having animation in the primetime slots, so it would be interesting to see Toei snatch up a primetime slot again, assuming Waratte Iitomo airs at such a time.

It airs from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM on every weekday and a digest of each week airs at the same time on Sundays.

SSj4 Goku was listed down on Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA poll on their facebook a while back. It depends how many people voted, so anything is possible. SSj4 Goku might be a Web Exclusive in Japan and a retail release in the US.

Damn, I just started watching it and it's so freaking good. :x
What are the chances that the rumors could be true?

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 guess it's very likely. They have no reason to cancel the data caddass if the anime series is still supposed to be continued. Also, the latest movie failed very badly last year.

Yeah, that does look pretty likely. Shida Naotoshi said he didn't even have time to finish his cuts for the Toriko movie, so Toei must feel like a bunch of asses for rushing it out like that. :lol:

Oh well, I hope that it will return one day, like Dragon Ball Kai & Fairy Tail will. Besides, the manga is during very well, doesn't it?

The collected comic volumes sold about 2,844,248 in 2013. Toei has a busy enough schedule as it is so stopping production on Toriko for a while might not be considered a lot.
