They train for 10 years, they became as strong as Freeza.

Frieza trains for 4 months and he's almost as strong as Goku and Vegeta!

No wonder there aren't any Dragonball board or card games.

They were as strong as Freeza himself after more than a decade. When Freeza was alive Abo and Kado were stated to be old rivals of Vegeta comparable to the Ginyu Force.

Don't recall that last part. Guess I'll have to take a look at it again.

....Has Tarble been retconned out of the story? I mean, He was mentioned in the movie version of Battle Of Gods, but not the TV version, which is being treated as the canon version now.

Why? I thought there being one other Saiyan survivor was pretty good.

Because Toei. When has anything they've ever done ever made any sense?

I'm sure if we look closely enough, we can find an answer to that question that isn't never.

Who here is stubborn enough to try?

They're still in business, so obviously enough of their decisions were correct to ensure success over the years.

Either that or they got insanely lucky and happened to stumble upon a bunch of diamonds in the rough.

Which they proceeded to shit all over, but people want the diamonds, even if they're covered in shit, so it's still working.

I don't know why they removed Tarble. I guess because they assumed not everyone had seen the 2008 special. I mean, they're assuming not everyone saw the movies, and that's why they're retelling it for Super.

They're not going to retell the 2008 special for Super. All it introduces is Tarble, and no one cares about Tarble.

And as to how Toei is still in business...first of all, they know how to merchandise. And second...they're the worst, but a lot of what they do is emblematic of the anime industry as a whole, it seems. Just look at what's happening with Naruto. Like Dragon Ball, the manga is over and no one wants to let it die, even if Kishimoto doesn't care anymore.

I'd question if Kishimoto ever cared.

Or, if you want real bitterness, I'd say he deserves to have his art destroyed....if he didn't already do that himself.

But that's neither here nor there.

Well, nothing we can do about how Toei is running things, unless someone plans to finally take me up on that offer to take my tons of torches and plethora of pitchforks and riot the hell out of Toei studios.

I was talking about localization with some people online and it reminded me how bad Dragon Balls were before Kai and the associated video games came out.

Dragon Ball Heroes God Mission 6 Opening:

Here's the gameplay trailer as well.

It shows off Angered Golden Frieza, Baby Hatchiyack, Super Baby Trunks, Cardinal Mutchy-Mutchy, Motchy, Time Patrol Goten, Time Patrol Gotenks and the new Triple-Team cards.

The fact that the opening lyrics kick in right as Beerus opens his mouth to yell at them made me think he was singing it at first.

Also, Hatchiyak giving a thumbs-up would make for a good avvie. Just saiyan.

Sure, I'll take it, though I don't plan on switching out at the moment. At least not until FE Fates is out.

[up][up]I do. Try fiddling with the spacing between the "Anomalocaris" and the "20"?

Nah, I hadn't tried it yet, I just wanted to make sure before I sent it to you.

Speaking of which, I have.

Random question: Out of all the random, obscure and crazy characters/forms added to DBH, who did you think was the most unexpected and who's your fave from the bunch?

The "angered" forms are pretty unexpectedly petty.

As for fav, I think Baby Hatchiyak is actually a pretty sensible idea.

I'd really like some of these what-if forms to make it into Xenoverse 2 or one of the fighting games someday.

I'd settle for a console version of Heroes ... somehow ... that got released overseas.
