Her hair in DB is as blue as Goku's in Z's eight movie. It's just the highlights. It's black with blue highlights.

Wow! OK, it was only a matter of time, but that was rather quick! Still, I suppose it is a good idea to have an arcade game with Birusu on it, while the movie is around..
Good stuff, DB Heroes, good stuff...
Yes, Goku visited me once. He turned to me while I was still speechless, and said, "You've drank too much"...

Thought it was going to be a new clip from the movie (And got all preliminarily excited), but a dbh game special character's not bad either. If anything it'll give us an earlier idea of what Birusu's powers are.

Ha! I knew they'd add Bils to Heroes sooner rather than later. :mrgreen:

Hmm...I'm probably reading into this too much, especially with it being Heroes, but I can't help but notice the choice of having Freeza being the first one to notice Bils and react to his arrival. Maybe there really is more to the Bils & Freeza connection than we thought?

Bilis was probably the original owner of the Universal Planet Trade Organization, and forfeit his chair when he took a nap.
How much longer do we need to beg for a North-American release of this carddu-game?

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

They did the same thing with Chilled, didn't really waste any time. He was either going to be playable as the SEC in this set, or as part of the next one (which should probably be around the movie is released).

Maybe, but there could be just as much of a connection as there is between Nappa from the Bardock TV Special and SS Goku from the Uub portion of Z. GM6's whole theme is Saiyans vs. Freeza's army, so we might not want to give it too much importance...

Yeah, that's why I'm kind of hesitant to really think much of it despite noticing that. The "story" as it is for Heroes in-of-itself makes it hard for me to really draw too much from something like this. I just found it pretty curious, all things considered.

I feel like it's a halfway kind of thing with Freeza reacting first. Like they picked him on purpose, but only because of what we already know about the movie. It might not go any deeper than that, but I suspect this at least wasn't a coincidence.

Reason they had it as Freeza being the one to notice Bils is that they couldn't have any of the Saiyans notice him. The Saiyans in this saga of DBH are, for the most part, the good guys in the war between them and Freeza's Army. Having Bils come and blow away the good guys would've been bad and bizarre marketing.

Yeah, I did, but not for the photos about the movie screening. I gave him credit for the promotional video, while DragonBoxZTheMovies got credit for pointing us toward the Japanese blog with the photos.

Technically, I report almost all the important Heroes news in said Heroes thread almost immediately after their website updates, but you don't hear me complaining about someone else getting credit for it just because it was posted in this thread. While it is best to try and give credit to the one who deserves it, who actually gets credit for what isn't important, so long as the news is reported, nay? :D

Exactly. I'd rather not be credited even if I was the one reporting anything important. I'm not that great. :P

Who said anyone was complaining? No one. You are the one complaining about no one complaining. Any real reason to continue this? I don't care if you want to make someone look bad, but this thread is for The Battle of Gods. It's called a mistake. I already apologized. Move on, get over it?
