There was actually one comic about the Germany ball, that had the Nazi ball coming back to force Germany to accept him because he's telling him about how he's getting taken advantaged of by all the other countries; long story short Germany kills the Nazi ball in an act of defiance, before Poland comes over to check on him since they heard shouting. Germany asks them if they like him, they say yes, and they end up hugging.

Here's the comic.

Well you're wrong, America is not a continent, it's two continents. You're speaking English and the English considered the Americas such.

Now if your issue is the country calling itself America, that is indefensibly stupid but it's also something that never goes away no matter how many times you bring it up, like recreational tobacco, scalp burning hair straitening products, or Vegeta.

Here's the full scan of "Project Fusion."

The concept art at the bottom seems to show off chibi versions of the main characters plus 2 unknown characters. (probably either original characters or new fusions)

This game looks like it's going to be pure, adorable fanservice.

I do hope it comes over to the West. Assuming the game is actually fun, that is.

America is a single continent, it's only divided into two because of reasons that I presume to be cultural or historical or something like that. Same with Eurasia. It's technically a single continent.

In both cases, it's a single landmass. Even if there's more than one tectonic plate rolling around under them.

And, like Rammstein sang, we are living in Amerika.

In Encyclopedia of World Geography, Volume 1 R. W. McColl pointed out Africa, Europe and Asia used to be considered one continent because the former and latter were connected by the Suez Peninsula and still are by some people, though the idea became less popular over time, for some reason. Of course it's cultural!

Japan and Russia teach a six continent model that combines Europe and Asia but does not combine the Americas. USA, Canada, Australia and most other former British Colonies teach a seven continent model. There are several dozen archipelagos and large islands considered too small to be continents without physical connection to continents that get lumped in with continents anyway, often based more on who lives on them than anything objectively geographical. I fail to see why any system that says we live on anything other than four continents is any more respectable than another.

I don't get what point you're trying to make here.

I'm not saying any system has any more merit than any other. I'm just saying that for some reason we have continents that are divided into several smaller continents.

Technically, the entire thing is called America, then it's divided into North, South and in the case of some countries, Central. Others divide it as "North" and "Latin" America based on who colonized them (though wouldn't the Canadians technically count as Latin, as well? What with the whole French thing, since French is also a Romance language 'n all... I iz confuzz).

The French parts of Canada can count as Latin and the entirety of South America do not have a romance language as their country's official tongue(most obviously, Guyana).

And yes, I was under the impression you were suggesting one silly system was better than another, though at first I was just joking about them being silly in general. I apologize for adding to the confusion.

Speaking of RPG mechanics...

Oh, no, I agree with you, they're silly in general, and really, we should just ignore it. It's not like it's every going to be relevant. There's only one continent in DB after all.

More info on Dragon Ball Project Fusion:

  • The game's coming out later this year.
  • You can create your own character/fusion.
  • It's gonna have it's own manga series!?
  • There's gonna be a contest where people make their own fusion of 2 characters, and the winner will be in the game!

Also, that V-Jump has a Time Patrol Trunks/Time Patrol Goten/SKOT triple-team card for DBH.

I've got an unrelated question. Are Guldo's time control powers a psychic ability or a power exclusive to him? Could Chiaotzu potentially learn to stop time?

Apparently this happened.

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime, so it seems that DB has grown on me much that I can't leave it alone."

If Toriyama wasn't that involved with DBS before, he's definitely gonna be involved in it now.

Dragon Ball Evolution resurrected the franchise. Motherf*cking Evolution is the reason why we have all this Dragon Ball stuff now.

Evolution resurrecting the franchise is old news. Toriyama complaining to Toei about the quality of Super, on the other hand, is fucking huge.
