FUNimation's lack of editorial staff on their self-made end credits roll strikes again!

Not only is the young version of Goku billed twice (once as "Lil Goku" and once as "Kid Goku") but they misspelled Kami as "Kame." Yeesh.

How hard is it to make proper credits, I honestly think they are just adding these things for fun at this point.

Okay, so now I have a question. I just read the timeline in my Dragon Book. Does anyone know who the "November 2, 1990: The first Japanese astronaut is born" refers to? I read that line and stared at it for a bit. A person born on that date would be 19 years old right now. Isn't that a bit young for an astronaut? And assuming this line comes from the original Dragon Box, this person would have been 12! Is the legendary Japanese space program sending children into space like the first episode of Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger? Or is this referring to some fictional character like a Gundam pilot?

It's quite possibly just a literal translation of Japanese text that was intended to mean the first Japanese astronaut launched into space on that date.

Hmm, I can't find any significance of the date November 2, 1990 in regards to space travel. If something launched that day, I think it would have come up.

Wiki has a page listing all Asian astronauts and according to their list, the first Japanese citizen to go into space was Toyohiro Akiyama with a launch date of December 2, 1990. Based on the limited information available, I'm going to go off on a limb and say it's either a translation error or an error on the part of the historian who created this timeline for the R2 Dragon Box.

[Gaffer Tape]

Okay, that makes sense. You're probably right. Thanks! Still strange they didn't bother mentioning his name, though...

EDIT: And I guess we can add another item to the list of typos in this Dragon Box!

Just ordered mine today, hell.. might just hop in the car and spend 3 hrs to go to the closest Best buy

The suspense is killing me..luckily I have these episodes in singles format.

[email2003]

Ordered mine last Friday and I just got it in today. 4 more to go!

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

Ordered mine earlier today, chose Standard UPS shipping, as per the norm.

After this, I am going to be TEMPTED to watch my single DVDs of the Jinzonengen-Cell Games (Funimation singles) but I want to wait til Volume 4 of the Dragonbox.

Also, is there a set release date for Dragonbox #4? If so, when is it? Just wanna make sure I have enough for when it comes out.

FUNimation hasn't mentioned Dragon Box Four yet.

I hope it's not set for September like the second Kai set, or even worse...

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

As long as it's not the end of May, cause I really wanna buy something other than a Dragonbox for a change!

[DBfan4life]

Well the Dragon Box sets have been coming out every 3 months. So I'm guessing sometime in August Box 4 should come out.

DBox 1- November
DBox 2- February
DBox 3- May
DBox 4- August?

[Gaffer Tape]

Well, it was only two and a half months in between Box 2 and Box 3, so if they keep this up, the next one would come out in the middle of July.

[Metalwario64]

I hope it's August at most, but it would be great if it was July.

[LeprikanGT]

People who have the 3rd box...was there a trailer for Box 4 or a schedule flyer?

[DBfan4life]

No, there was no trailer or flyer. The first and so far only time that happened was with Box 2 advertising Box 3.

[Gotham22]

After a May release it was always four months before the next release.
