"(Super) Dragon Ball Heroes" Official Discussion Thread

... What version of "Dragon Soul" is that?

"Dragon Soul" is not only the name of the opening theme song to Dragon Ball Kai, it's also the name of the "band" (with Takayoshi Tanimoto on vocals) that performs said song along with the "Dragon Ball Heroes" jingles/themes.

That's a neat piece of info right there.

New JM3 commercial. Features the buff Majin Buu vs SS3 Vegetto (uses the single bang style sadly). We also see Goku, Vegeta, Beat, Note and South Kaioshin.

Little tidbits in this trailer, and there may be even more if there was a better quality version right now...
--Buff Buu (I don't know the cards name yet) is a fusion card, and combining him with Dai Kaioshin will get you Innocent Buu
--Oversight on my part. I should have seen this coming with the transfer campaign. One of the SECs is almost guaranteed to be a previously known character that summons the Black Smoke Dragon.
--That silhouette that looked like Liu Xing Long's princess form is actually a giant, shadowy boss version of her. No more details as of yet, but she may be summonable as a SEC too?

The fan-service in Dragonball Heroes have definitely polarised opinion over the years, but for some reason - this really does it for me.

Thanks to Nostal/Treevax, we have clean scans of V-Jump. Here are a small handful for the new Avatar design splash page and some Victory Mission stuff with either new avatar designs or new characters:

Also, Victory Mission seems to be playing homage to Kajika here. Seems the Neko Majin Abra that sticks around with Kabra is actually cursed. Once Kabra hits the 1000 quota, Abra returns to his original form and even remembers his original name! He's the Neko Majin, V!

Spoiler:

[BlazingBarrrager]

Heh heh, Neko Majin always did amuse me.

[KentalSSJ6]

We better get Neko Majin avatars.

With the apparition of them within the game, I'm looking forward to see the Kaioshins and how Toyotarou characterizes them in the "victory mission" manga. We have seen not too much of them in the original DB manga and in the anime since now: for exemple, we just recently knew about how they are born. Afterall, Toyotarou has already drawn the Western Supreme Kaioshin in his doujinshi DBAF giving her the name of Lila (and making her become a villain), and I would be so curious to see how he draws and characterize her this time.

On Victory Mission, the only charactes that get some characterization are the avatars. The cards they use don't get any personality. At most you can see them attack or help someone on their team, but not much more.

Kabra hasn't revealed his deck yet?! I think he'll use the Kaioshins since the theme of his battle with Salaga is the origin of the Majins.

Kibito is shown on the map: http://www.carddass.com/dbh/news/187.html Does this mean he's one of the opponents in the third Jaaku Mission?

And so is Bibidi. I guess that means they will receive cards as well, and probably Babidi too. Good, Kibito and Babidi already had models anyway. Now all we're missing is Yakon.

But... Yakon sucks. (Budumching!)

Kibito playable, huh? I actually thought that a theoretical Battle of Z sequel could be our first chance at a playable Kibito (Healers that aren't normally in the fighting games would work well in that game). I'm not super familiar with the actual gameplay in Heroes. Do any of the characters have health restorative moves?

Stupid question:
Is Goku Jr and Vegeta Jr playable?

Spoiler:

Man this looks really great! I can safely say that I would not be disappointed if this does end up turning into an anime. I wish they would bring over the game to America somehow...just don't base the game around cards and maybe use NTC toys.

Give it time. With all the GT material being touched upon, I wont be surprised if we see those two make a debut sometime in the future.

I'm surprised they haven't showed up yet cause it seems the game takes place during their time. Maybe they're saving them for something special

[Hellspawn28]

I think we will see a Heroes Legacy set in the future. I'm betting that we will end up seeing Gogeta Jr. too at some point as well.

Nothing about the game itself implies when it takes place. Victory Mission on the other hand, we just know it occurs after GT. We've seen Goku Junior's friend have a cameo in the manga, but I wouldn't say that should determine a specific time placement. I mean, we also see Jaco and Tights, but that doesn't mean this takes place before Dragon Ball starts.

Wow, I am just picturing Super Saiyan 3 Gogeta Jr. and... at a loss for words, and will be again if it is ever truly realized.

[Hellspawn28]

I won't mind a SSj Gogeta Jr., but SSj3 SSj Gogeta Jr. would be overkill IMO.
