V-Jump April 2010 Ads & Articles!

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Well, today I got V-Jump's April issue. The cover is freaking awesome. I gotta admit though, I'm getting pretty sick of this Dragon Ball\One Piece crossover stuff. I mean, it was cool at first but now... I don't know. Anyway this issue is all about promoting the new "Miracle Battle CarddAss" wich is a card game where you can use characters from Dragon Ball or One Piece. I don't like card games and, like I said, I'm getting sick of this Dragon Ball\One Piece stuff so, you could imagine how I feel about this issue.



I made avatars from the cover image...



An ad for "Miracle Battle CarddAss"...



A card I will never use in my life. This issue came with a Goku one and a Luffy card. I only scanned the Goku one...



An ad for the most amazing Goku figure ever! My scanner decided to freak out and, for some reason give a stretch effect on the right side of the page. I can't translate but it looks like you can convert it from base Goku to Super Saiyan Goku. Can anyone elebreate on this? I'm looking at you Hujio!



An ad for a somewhat complicated looking Dragon Ball game. Seems to be played with some puter DragonBall figures.



If you're familiar with these magazines, you know they usually come with these pull out booklets. This book explaines the new card game, how to play it, some stragities and shows off some of the cards. Yea, I didn't scan all the pages cause it was mostly small pictures of the cards that would be hard to see anyway. Apparently there was a booklet in the previous V-Jump issue, showing off the One Piece version, this, the second part shows off the Dragon Ball version...



Like I said, I didn't scan all the pages in these booklets but this particular page had showed a Piccolo card big enough where it wouldn't look that bad scanned. I'm not really a Piccolo fan but that's one sexy Piccolo image.





The second booklet is all about the "Dragon Battlers" card game. Sexy art.





In the back of the magazine there were a few articles about... well, I don't know what. But this caught my eye...



Well, thats about it. This issue wasn't really that great, but I love seeing new art so I guess that's what I got out of it. Also Kanzentai posted a link this week that had a bunch of previous V-jump covers as wallpapers. This cover is one of them.



If you want this image in it's full resolution, just go to Kanzentai and follow the links... http://www.kanzentai.com/

That looks cool, you should try making some custom avatars. I also like these scans.

[RoarkVegeta]

That looks cool.

Don't even think about takin it.

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Yea, I used to make avatars all the time, but I haven't in a while...

I've been losing interest in One Piece lately, but of the currently running Shounen Jump big three, it's still my preferred choice, so I don't mind seeing it crossover with Dragon Ball.

I hope they eventually collect all these new DB images in a book.

And tiny pewter figures make me think of Monopoly.

Thank you for the scans! :3

[Dbzbabe]

=D I got mine a few days ago @ Mitsuwa, I love these issues so much ^^ You make great scans!! ^^ I totally agree about one piece >_> I don't know but that anime NEVER got my interest, I even sold my season 1 to my friend I just knew I was never going to watch it ever again XD

I heard volume 5 is going to cover A LOT of DBZ so I'm really excited for next months ^^

[Velasa]

When I read the title the first time I thought it was talking about a new Jump Tour special, ala Ossu. Waugh! Cool stuff though.

... on the left... is that the Child of Kattatsu? Because that would be epic.

[Chuquita]

A new Jump Tour special is the first thing that popped into my head when I first saw this thread title too.
(Oh how I wish for one. *_* )


I'm curious to know what sorts of big news will be in that Volume 5 for next month.

[Makaioshin]

I call the Piccolo avatar. Thanks.
The Freeza golf thing is pretty awesome.

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

OMG OMG OMG SH Figuarts SSJ Battle Damaged Son Goku!

[Tracer1]

OMG OMG OMG SH Figuarts SSJ Battle Damaged Son Goku!

No... that's a MG Figurerise 1/8 Super Saiyan Gokou

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

I'm definately using that Dragon Ball and One Piece wallpaper.


Apart from that, I didn't realise how popular Dragon Ball cards are in Japan. I mean, look at all that advertising.

The mountain is floating.

[mystic trunks]

Cool. Now if only they would announce the next console based game... Aren't those usually announced around this time?

[Scarz]

This seriously needs an explanation.

[Gaffer Tape]

Oh, that's an idea for a new filler segment of the Goku vs. Freeza fight where they decide to settle their differences by playing golf. It was unwise of Goku to accept this challenge, as he did not know that Freeza was the intergalactic golfing champion. He could have made a career of it had he not decided to kill people and conquer worlds instead. So after this occurs for about an episode (Kai episode 52, I believe), the filler ends, and Goku decides to go back and his word and start pummeling Freeza as a Super Saiya-jin again, because, when in doubt... cheat.

The regular Goku appears to be a separate figure, unfortunately. The SSJ figure comes with its own stand so you can pose it.

That’s Shogi (essentially Asian Chess), with DB figures.

The card title is “The Fused Super Warrior Piccolo”, so that guy in the background is presumably Nail.

This seriously needs an explanation.

It’s for something called “Book Card Presentation”. Apparently some 18-year old reader sent it in. It’s “golf+Freeza=Golfreeza”. Freeza brags that he’ll take Goku on without using his hands…then uses his tail to hold the golf club. This would probably seem much funnier if you were high or insane or something.

Meh, I think my explanation is funnier, and I'm not high at all! The jury's still out on insane.

Then I must be high as Kinto'un because I find both explanations hilarious!

YOINK! Thanks for the avatar and awesome thread! I really want that Goku action figure, it looks awesome.
