Piccolo Daimao is a Dragon Clansmen. I didn't grab the rest of the page, but birthing eggs is a skill of the Dragon Clan.

Piccolo Junior is a Warrior though...with a couple of Dragon Clan skills because of his complicated origin.
Thank you for clearing that up. That also explains why king piccolo could not create Dragon Balls (which is something I never thought of until now)

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.

*Wondering how late it should be before giving up checking on Amazon.jp for restock of this month's VJump.*

I read on Twitter that Mike was talking about it sometimes getting restocked a few days after, but nothing's shown up yet. It could because of the weekend just happening though. I'm considering checking in once a day until the end of the week; that sound reasonable?

Did they restock since the 19th and I miss it? Anyone know?

Nail is a Warrior-type, though.

Do v-jump always sell this much? Or is Super the main reason why its happening now?

It happened to me at CDJapan on the first issue that had the Super manga, but I got it on Amazon.jp before they ran out.

Issues two and three were still on those sites after the release dates. That's why I thought I'd be ok this time too. Apparently not. It's really turned me off of wanting to get it each month (My plan was only to go to the end of reBOG anyway). If I can't get this one, I'm waiting for the tankoubon after this.

That's a good thing because it means the legacy keeps on. Dragon Ball was the main reason for the Golden Era of Shounen Jump.
And seems like Super is doing its own thing in V-Jump. I wonder what will happen when Universe 6 arc starts. :wink:

I'm so anxious for Uni 6. I think the manga will be even more fun to follow than it is now because we finally won't know what's coming next. X3

We already have that with the manga. It's just not with Goku and co. Though with how much of the Battle of Gods story is being skipped thanks to the cutaways to Champa, the Kaioshin and Freeza's forces, they almost seem more like the subplot anyway.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Got the latest issue today and i think this one has the besst cover so far. Its nice to also have battle of gods, in some forum, in manga format. Should be interesting to see how revival f goes since it was just drawn for the movie promotion. I wonder if there will be any resused pannels?

My understanding is that there's a particular/special Yu-Gi-Oh card in this issue and a bunch of toy stores / other retailers bought up all the online stock to resell the card. I had to buy my issue second-hand.

So Yu-Gi-Oh was the reason; that makes sense. ( T u T )

I went and google-translated the Amazon.co.jp page for the issue and all these one-star reviews are saying the same thing.

Do the "fulfilled by amazon" used copies ship outside Japan do you know?

Not all of them. It's a crapshoot for who does. I got up to ￥1,280 before I found one who would.

Thank you.
I found one. About the same price as you mentioned. It's a "fulfilled by Amazon" and the seller had good ratings, and I really really want this issue so I bought it.

I'm fine with waiting for the volume releases once it gets to the F arc (I'll probably stop buying VJump once Toyotarou hits the end of the BOG arc), but I really want the reBOG manga in the nice, larger size it shows up in VJump.
