    Figured. look how crappy the MC’s fashion sense was lol. but this is looking like Tenkaichi 3 x Ultimate Tenkaichi x BAttle of Z. Day one!!

    • Koibito888

      Lets take Battle of Z out of that equation and we’re good.

    I did not see this coming.

    Trunks looks like a boss though.

    Time Patrol Trunks!

    cool, will at least rent.

  • Mecha_the_Hedgehog

    Dimps in charge and the story and customization level of say Dragonball Online my god this may be the best DBZ game ever made. I’m actually excited about a DBZ game again.

  • Hagaren

    Let’s just hope the character creation has a large variety of options.

    • greeeed

      if it used DBO characters system than it will have many option

  • http://people.ign.com/rob1610 rob1610

    Didn’t they try this 2 games ago? Ah well. It might actually be good this time around. Also, called it. I had a feeling the “new guy” would be a customisable character.

    • Koibito888

      Dimps didn’t try to do this, Spike tried to do this two games ago. Dimps>>>>>Spike, it will be better.

      • http://people.ign.com/rob1610 rob1610

        Ah yes! I forgot Dimps are making this one. Then your right and this game will be better.

        • Koibito888

          I know, I’m really excited. Just worried when they say ‘other races’. I don’t want any races that don’t make sense like a Frieza Race as is in certain other games.

  • Armageddon

    Is this a girl majimbo by any chance?

    http://www.siliconera.com/postgallery/?p_gal=424432|11

    • Mecha_the_Hedgehog

      Yes that’s a female Majin Buu. Back when they were making a Dragonball Online game the creator of the series made up some new story stuff to make new races. In the game Fat Buu reads one of Mr. Satans erotic novels wants to have a girlfriend splits himself in half again this time one is a girl named Booby they use a love love beam and make children and soon have a race.

      • Armageddon

        tnx man.

      • Ban The Jackass

        So is it like, incest or masturbating?

        • Mecha_the_Hedgehog

          Little from column A and a little column B thats how I see it at least.

  • Keiji Johnson

    Whoa. I never expected that. I hope we could be able to create multiple characters from both genders alongside most of the races and pit them against each other in the versus mode.

    Also, was I the only who thought the character in the thumbnail was Sakura Haruno from Naruto?

  • Vash bane

    lol called it. the moment we saw time patrol trunks it was obvious. its a console verion of DBO (minus the rpg elements …or is it o.O) this will be awesome

    “drools”

    darn do not hype yourself up >_<

    http://www.siliconera.com/postgallery/?p_gal=424432|10

    interesting that's the exact outfit/armor from it aswell…(don't hype …don't hype) now …if it also has both genders.

  • Janrabbit

    Called it. This and the fact they are adding more advanced mechanics such as move cancelling is getting me hyped for this game. Need to reserve judgement though because I was feeling the same way about Ultimate Tenkaichi and yeah… we know what happened there.

  • Koibito888

    Knew it as we all did (except the idiots who thought it was SSJG or Gohan or some stupid crap) but I definitely didn’t think they’d do this first game. I’m in love, I just hope we don’t get a Frieza race. That was cute back in the days of ‘maybe there is, maybe there isn’t’ but since Toriyama straight out confirmed that there is no such race (at least any race that is powerful as King Cold was a mutant of an unimportant, probably not powerful race and he birthed Frieza alone), we don’t need to be breaking canon.

    As it’s a game, a non canon entry it’s fine sometimes to stray off canon but there is no reason to go out of one’s way to contradict it. Besides, everything is better in a fandom the closer to canon it is, no Frieza race please, that’d be like if we had a Cell race, that just doesn’t make sense.

    • Guest

      People want to make what they want.
      Canon or non -
      Besides Akira Toryama can change his mind at anytime and make something non-can , cannon. Why? Because it’s his show.

      If you want to argue otherwise ,then, anything after frieza is non-cannon as that’s where he wanted it all to stop

      Another thing who’s to say King Cold didn’t make more?
      This is a Xenoverse
      Who’s to say cell from another timeline didn’t turn good?

      Look at Dragon Ball Heroes “Frieza’s race” is there.

      • Koibito888

        Woah woah, no reason to get defensive about it it’s just an opinion bro.

        People can make whatever they want (I’m assuming your talking about game developers so forgive me if I’m off there) but it’s almost always true that the more something someone makes strays, and worse goes against the canon, it’s less quality than the canon while the more it makes sense the better it is. It doesn’t have to be canon to be good it’s just making sense and not contradicting what’s there is better.

        Toriyama can change his mind but that is called a retcon and more respectable authors do this as little as possible (unless we’re talking comics in which case it’s an infinitely expanded universe that hundreds and hundreds of people add to so canon is an odd term there but this is not true for anime) and he has not done so yet. By doing so I mean he has not made something true and then changed his mind and contradicted the same thing completely by retconning it. Everything like what you mentioned was merely him adding more. Yes he wanted to stop but for Cell he WANTED to make more, for Buu he was less for it but the fans wanted it so he wanted to do it. He quit when he truly didn’t want to do it anymore which is when the company made the sin that was GT, he was never forced to make more and considering that he’s come back for a movie and is going to do so for another AND he has so many details in his head that he just answers questions like about Frieza’s race, he obviously doesn’t want to end DBZ, it’s just that he’s old and manga writing isn’t easy at all let alone as easy as conducting a movie and answering questions. So not only does Toriyama changing his mind and being sporadic with canon have absolutely nothing to do what I said but he doesn’t even do that so it’s even more irrelevant as is your flawed logic of everything after Frieza being non canon. I think you need to understand the word canon before you start getting all defensive about a little opinion.

        Toriyama is to say that King Cold didn’t make more. The original question asking about Frieza’s race also included asking about Cooler and Chilled and Toriyama ignored every context of those two, only mentioning King Cold and Frieza. It’s obvious the others do not exist to him which makes sense, they’re non canon, they didn’t happen. They are existing characters so they should be in the game but no new Frieza’s Race members need to be added. It’s so much effort just to go against the canon when they could just leave it out and not be contradictory and as such make a more immersive DBZ experience.

        You missed the entire point of the mention of Cell. I’m saying Cell is a single unique entity that can only create mini versions of himself that are blue. An expansive race of differing appearances of a race Cell started is impossible because of what Cell is and what he can do. The point is a comparison because just as something like that is impossible and would be dumb to just create it otherwise is the same as a Frieza’s race when Toriyama himself stated that this is not the case and that there is no Frieza race.

        Oh I know of DBH but once again, that came before Toriyama made the statement.

        Example: Majin Race. Is it goofy and out there? Oh definitely, BUT it was explained in a game completely in a way that not only does not contradict the canon but makes sense to it.

        Another is the Human/Saiyan future race from DBO that I’m hoping the Earthling race is in this game. Saiyan DNA spread so far that all/most humans have Saiyan DNA in them only being able to go SSJ1 by wishing on the Dragon Balls. This gives reason why they can’t go any level higher (at least in DBO) and gives reason as to why we can be a Saiyan but not have light skin and black hair.

        This makes more sense than Ultimate Tenkaichi which just threw us into a full Saiyan that could only go SSJ1 at the end with no context as to why we could look different. It didn’t make sense and was a shallow plot point.

        Difference? When you make more sense to the canon in a scenario that’s supposed to make you feel like you’re a part of the series it makes you feel like you fit more into the canon ergo making you feel more immersed in the series rather than feeling like you’re a part of some poorly written fanfic.

          Just because you failed understand my Logic doesn’t make it flawed.

          Flawed – Is the absurd notion of keeping something canon and in a story based on fiction

          Making a long winded rebuttal; which only servers to put words in my mouth, doesn’t make you look any better.

          Prior, I wasn’t attacking you or being defensive “Bro”

          If I were, believe you me. I could counter your every argument, but I’m not a writer ,I prefer to speak.

          I was simply stating a fact , any story can be made to “make sense”

          Getting straight to the point,
          More races/species the better. The more there are the less likely you’ll see a room full of Saiyajin’s

          FYI – Don’t quote Toriyama , unless you have sources

          • Koibito888

            Not everything can be made to make sense. It can be bullcrapped but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good writing or fits in.

            More races are definitely better, no one said they aren’t, but fitting into the series is also better. Both can be done, there are a good number of races to use that don’t have to contradict anything.

            You’re right though. I was slightly wrong about the exact quote, it wasn’t that he ignored the context of Cooler, it was that he said specifically that “these two are the only ones who possess an abnormal [level of] battle power and cruelty” As for the source: http://www.saiyanisland.com/2014/02/vegeta-to-star-in-next-dragon-ball-z-movie-info-on-gokus-mother/

            It still means that Frieza and King Cold are the only ones of any power, the only ones that could really be called “Frieza’s Race”.

          • British_Otaku

            At this point, we have so much terrible writing from Toriyama and others, that a game should accepted if it goes and expands on that line up.

            There was an OVA based on a manga based on a card game scenario where Bardock was the first legendary Super Saiyan and beat a prior relative of Frieza. >_>

          • Koibito888

            Toriyama doesn’t write bad things for DBZ, the first thing he did for DBZ since the end of the anime was Battle of Gods and that was amazing. That SSJ Bardock movie wasn’t done by Toriyama and it was horrible.

          • British_Otaku

            To my knowledge, Toriyama didn’t pen every part of Battle of Gods: http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23802

            And even if I do agree that it is the most influence he has had in a while, the writing is poor for a series of reasons.

            Power scaling is dead. Vegeta puts up the best fight in the whole movie (in rage no less) while Super Saiyan 3 Goku and most others were one shotted.

            Unborn Pan is a Super Saiyan apparently too.

            I had a lot more words against the movie in this post: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4326547#4326547

            You got the summary of it though.

          • Koibito888

            Not every part no but still to the point where the movie is canon.

            Power scaling isn’t dead. It made perfect sense that Vegeta could rage mode. Just because it wasn’t SSJ3 doesn’t mean anything. SSJ forms are nothing more than multipliers, raise the base power and x50 is also going to be bigger. By raging he boosted his power incredibly for a second.

            Also no she’s not. What made you think SSJG needed 6 Super Saiyans? They said 6 Saiyans of pure heart. Nothing about Super Saiyan. Even in your review you keep acting as if they said they needed 6 Super Saiyans but that’s simply not the case.

            There was nothing wrong with that movie. It was pretty good and a great way to continue the story.

          • Guardian Byakko

            When I watched the movie it seemed like Vegeta took Beerus by surprise with his outrage which could supplement how Vegeta put up such a fight. SSJG requires 6 pure hearted saiyans super or not.

          • British_Otaku

            “By raging he boosted his power incredibly for a second.” – I’ll ignore the literal implications of “a second” but focus on the general point.

            Okay, he can get angry, but why would he dominate someone who is significantly stronger and faster than him… AND SSJ3/SSG Goku. The multiplier was proven to be false with Kili measurements as well wasn’t it as well as most power levels being BS. >_>

            (Before you ask, even without power levels, we still should have power scaling)

            It didn’t pay off when he got irrational when fighting Frieza, Cell (Perfect Form) or Cell (Super Perfect) after Trunks died. What makes this different?

            You may have a point on the Super Saiyan God thing (I seem to be have been sidetracked by the fact everyone turned Super Saiyan)

            The point does draw my ire to how the convenient writing counts unborn 1/4 Saiyans as a good hearted Saiyan, to why did Gohan go Super Saiyan for the sequence and not Ultimate form (umm?), that all that is necessary is for someone to be a decent person not even strong and leaves the core problem in tact…

            That now I’m even more within reason to expect a Super Saiyan God Unborn Pan if everyone shared than I previously thought.

            I clearly need to give the movie another watch, especially with the extended cut but it has been reconfirmed for me that both power scaling is dead and it is full of nonsense even by DBZ standards.

          • Koibito888

            Okay it was probably longer than a literal second but it was a very short time given the usual implication and speed of characters where so much can happen in merely 5 minutes.

            Why? Well to answer that first I need to clear up with you that Vegeta did not ‘dominate’ Beerus as you put it. He caught him off guard for a moment, landed a few hits, and ultimately they barely hurt Beerus. Given that Beerus was clearly caught of guard, Vegeta only landed a few hits and blasts, and then that Beerus came out of it disappointed and not injured, Vegeta did not suddenly become stronger than Beerus, merely stronger than beginning of the movie SSJ3 Goku for a moment.

            Power levels and measurements like Kili were bullcrap but only in the way that a character’s potential could not be measured, that there were variables. The multipliers are a canon fact, it’s the base power being multiplied that varies and can vary based on emotion, surpassing one’s self, potential, all of those morals DBZ always focused on. The ratings were meant to be BS because of this but the multipliers are fact, they are canon. I never was going to ask about powerscaling, I agree, we should have it, I’m just trying to prove that we in fact DO have it it’s just something you have to really look into and know your facts about.

            To fully answer the question of why or the next of what makes it different, it DOESN’T make it different. It didn’t pay off when Vegeta did it here either, but in every one of those instances you mentioned, he did become stronger there too so literally it’s no different. If you accept the logic of what happened there then you must accept the logic of what happened in the movie because it’s literally the same thing.

            Thank you I believe I do too, it’s true — they never said Super Saiyans were needed, they specifically said Saiyans of pure heart. Yes it was a bit convenient but oh well? Convenience and Deus Ex every once in a while is not a bad thing, especially in older series’, if it doesn’t contradict anything which this doesn’t. Pan was conceived, she’s Saiyan if only part, and clearly innocent, it makes sense even if it was convenient and it wasn’t bad that it was either.

            Though do you want to know why Gohan went SSJ when he can’t do that? It was literally an animation error. In first trailers in the scene where Gohan powers up to try and fight Beerus he went SSJ but it was changed. Toriyama made them take it out I believe was the case meaning that literally the only reason he still wen’t SSJ for a short time on screen was that they literally just missed it. It’s either something they’ll just never explain and will be non canon happenstance (as in what canonically happened was everything in that moment besides him going SSJ) or they’ll come up with a reason like the ritual gave him the aesthetic for a moment.

            I mean if they gave the power to Pan sure it might work but like… It wouldn’t do anything. As an infant she’d be incredibly weak, SSJG has to be a multiplier as well since Toriyama said that the power varies depending on the person that used it and considering that only a fighting genius who can train their body to keep the power in them after losing the form actually gets the full benefit of their base power being boosted incredibly, this all means that if they did that, Pan would have the form for a short time, be a bit more powerful I guess but as an infant she would not be strong at all and as an infant and not a fighting genius she’d lose the form and not be any stronger so why would they do it? And as such why does it matter?

            You should, just on the fact that it is a good movie and refreshing on facts never hurts (being the only reason I know this much because I’ve seen it a good number of times). Still though, power scaling is not dead, you can still measure for the most part which important character is stronger than who and the scaling all makes sense and fits correctly.

          • Steven Higgins

            Well we all know that Sayians get a HUGE power up when their pissed off (that’s how they initially go Super in the first place in addition to having a certain power level) and the legend never said they had to be SUPER Saiyans, just pure hearted Saiyans with righteous souls. And coming from her linage, what else would Pan have.

    • Suzaku

      Dragon Ball Heroes has Androids and Frieza’s race as player avatars, in addition to Saiyan, Namekian, and Majin. Don’t be surprised if we see them in this game, too.

      • Koibito888

        See Androids still makes more sense. Though unless they really played up the existing Android features like detachable gun arms, energy absorbing bolts in the hands, eye lasers, stuff like that, it’d just be the Human Saiyan without Saiyan abilities so if they do lets hope they play that up. It makes sense and fits in that there’d be a mechanized human around even if it is odd and would be more like a class and less of a race. I even want more races, I just don’t want a Frieza race.

        It’s so much effort for nothing more than just to directly contradict the canon for more options. That’s like giving us bad characters just to fill the roster, it’s like “yeah more characters!” until you realize that a good portion of them suck. We don’t need to contradict DBZ in a DBZ game just for more options when the options we have are fantastic already. Not everything has to be canon but there is no reason to contradict the canon. I wanna feel like I’m in DBZ, not a bad DBZ fanfic.

        I won’t be surprised but it’d be so perfect if we just got that Android race focusing on mechanized parts and then something else (if there has to be another) instead of Frieza’s Race, like making a Kai or something. Just anything that actually makes sense.

        • Steven Higgins

          With the 12 universes thing, canon pretty much goes out the window.

          • Koibito888

            It really doesn’t, that’s not how canonicity works friend.

          • Steven Higgins

            What I’m saying is that, with 12 different universes, EVERYTHING can be canon in one or another, including super-strong members of Frieza’s race and, given the title of this game, it’s quite possible that the player character may be travelling, not only through time, but between universes as well.

          • Koibito888

            But see that’s not how it works either. Canon either is or isn’t. What has been done by the writer and been declared by the writer to be canon is canon, anime that follows a manga is canon while parts that don’t follow it is filler while anime that came first are canon. Pretty much what the writer does is canon. What others do or what the writer doesn’t do is non canon until proven canon as is everything really.

            What I’m saying is that what can be canon is not canon until it has happened. Just because it fits with the canon does not mean it’s canon, it’s only canon if the writer does it himself or if he states something is canon (though with the latter, that material also has to not contradict the canon). Just because anything can be in those other universes does not mean it is canon, in fact, because it hasn’t happened yet, nothing about the other universes other than the fact that they exist and how many they are is canon at all.

            On that note though, what makes you so sure that there even ever was a Frieza’s base race in another universe? If anything, it’s more likely that nothing from Universe 7 (the universe of DBZ that we’ve watched) exists in any other universe. The reason for this is that there is a differentiation in DBZ between other universes and other timelines. Trunks’ whole deal established that there is no changing the future, only creating other timelines and as such, what if’s such as what DB Multiverse does, would fit more to be separate timelines than universes. It’s more likely that each universe is completely different because they are different universes, no one said they were parallel universes and given that split timelines is already a concept in DBZ, parallel universes would be redundant so it makes far more sense that each universe is so different that no race from Universe 7 even ever existed at all in the others. It is possible this game will explore other universes and it’s virtually confirmed it will cover timelines but it’s still no logical reason for the Frieza race.

            The problem is that the races we have are all explained in a way that they conveniently all inhabit the same world, they are all simple. For a Frieza race to happen and for them to be good so that you can make them as characters, there’d have to be a reason they came to Earth or were created and for that to happen there needs to be a reason why others with any power like Frieza and King Cold exist and why there is a whole race with the mutant genes not deteriorating and it’s all just far more convoluted than necessary. It’s just too complicated for something that would, even if explained fully, wouldn’t exactly fit and to some degree would still be contradictory or at least out of place.

            So there is only two options: We either get a Frieza Race that makes no sense, or we don’t get a Frieza Race. The point is that I for one would rather not get another race than have something not make sense because I want to feel like I’m in the DBZ world, not the world of a crappy DBZ fanfiction like GT.

          • Steven Higgins

            Just because he hasn’t written it yet doesn’t mean he won’t. I said they COULD, not that they DO. Chances are Toriyama isn’t going to expand on any of the other 11 universes but he could still easily say that the Manga, Anime and GT and even movies all happen in separate universes. So again he could STILL say that “In this universe Frieza’s race became the ultimate beings by eliminating stronger races through superior military might” Or that “In this universe Goku was still on Planet Vegita when it was destroyed and so never defeated Frieza allowing him to run unchecked. He eventually found Earth and dominated it. Eventually other members made their way and after generations became just as powerful as Frieza had been” You’re basically saying the same thing I said, that there is no canon for these universes yet, you just have a different take on what that could mean. There could even be one where Puar is the ultimate being in the universe and rules alongside Oolong. We don’t know. It’s highly unlikely, but we just don’t know for sure.
            True they may not be parallel universes but they could be ans most of the time when a writer creates other universes, they’re reflections of the main one. At this point all possibilities are open

          • Koibito888

            I never said he wouldn’t. I bet you he will expand on them. All I’m saying besides what I think the other universes are going to be is that canon is not ‘out the window’ as you put it. Just because things can be canon doesn’t mean they are yet which means canon is still very much in tact. That’s the point here is that canon is canon and possibilities are just that, they aren’t canon until they happen. Anything can happen but that does not give them canon status, nor do they effect the canon until they are canon, nor do they effect the status of the canon being in tact.

            It’s not that I have a different take on the whole canon thing, it’s that the very definition of canon is just that, things are canon or not and the realm of possibility are things that have not happened yet and as such they aren’t canon.

            So with that out of the way and onto theories of the universes because that is much more fun: You say that writers do this all the time, reflect other universes off the first one shown but in those works of fiction the writer did not already establish the alternate timeline what if theory. That’s what makes this different. Besides, the very idea of what if cannot be finite yet there are a finite number of universes, it doesn’t add up.

            If there’s a universe where Frieza’s race evolved or Frieza stayed around then this means there is a universe for every possibility ever but this is not the case here as there are 12. There are not only 12 possibilities in the universe and again, to base the multiple universe off the theory of alternate possibility timelines when he’s already established the theory in a previous concept would be entirely redundant and I’m only pointing out that I think Toriyama is a better writer than that. It just wouldn’t make sense if the structure of the universe and space time was built to where within one universe you can create alternate realities infinitely (such as Trunks going back, changing happenstance, and creating a separate timeline because of it) only to then have other universes based on the same principle. This is especially true given that again, there are only 12 universes and not an infinite number created by alternate possibilities.

            All possibilities are open yes but the main point is that your first comment, ‘canon goes out the window’ is incorrect. There is still a canon and things based off the series are better when fitting with the canon, or at the very least not contradicting it.

          • Steven Higgins

            But right now, there ARE infinite possibilities, until Toriyama says which events have or have not occurred in each universe.
            As for “canon goes out the window” What I’m saying is, the event’s of universe 5 for example could go completely against the canon of universe 7 etc.

            Like say GT is canon Universe 5, there Pilaf is an old man, while in universe 7 at the time of BoZ he’s a child. Only 4-5 years between BoZ and the beginning of GT (going by Trunks’ age) so unless he got his hands on the Dragon Balls again between BoZ and GT the two may take place in separate universes. This is a small example but larger deviations are possible.

          • Koibito888

            It really doesn’t, that’s not how canonicity works friend.

    Man, I totally called it. I was getting a real Ultimate Tenk vibe from this guy.

  • OrangeArmy

    I will be making a Majin character, he will be fat and majestic, kinda like a pinker Wilford Brimley sans the stache.

    • Guest

      In DBO Fat-Majin’s transformed into “True Majin’s” kid buu

      • OrangeArmy

        Yeah I’m aware, but I don’t think this game will have the Pure form transformation, but who knows? I’m still excited :)

    whoa… SHOCKING!! not really, but I’m pretty shocked still…

  • https://twitter.com/BurstZX Devin Isom

    lol they really just took the mmo’s entire shtick.
    Earthlings with go through a mission that allows them to go super saiyan.
    Look forward to it.

  • colorblindnightmare

    OMG THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOO SHOCKING……He said with sarvasm so seething it scorched the air around him.

  • Namuro

    Dat female Majin… Hello babeh!

  • Kroz

    First things first, called it….Anyone that thought about it for more then a minute knew that.
    All those stupid theories about “This could be super saiyan god Gohan from the future!!!??” or ” Its pans great great great great great grandson working for capsule corp and time traveled to the past!!??” etc
    …you know who your are, I’m sorry but your dumb

    On to the matter at hand I’m glad they are improved the character creator. Ultimate Tenkaichi’s crappy one was basically swap torso and legs with your favorite z fighters…yay. Also you could only make them a saiyan, how racist is that?

    • revenent hell

      Your under a great cloud of delusion to be calling a game “racist” based that one can only be Saiyans in it.
      Obviously you think your amusing but it only shows how completely ignorant you are to make such claims.

      • British_Otaku

        Kroz was clearly saying that in jest and jokes don’t need to be based on real or reasonable sensitivity.

        Just like how I could say that Fire Emblem Awakening’s character creator is racist or Ultimate Tenkaichi is also sexist.

        • Kroz

          Thank you for understanding that what i said was completely in humour and on top of that about a fictional race

        • revenent hell

          People actually make those correlations and think they hold validity but sadly at least those people can justify the comment other than “I said something stupid to be funny har har”. . Actually, that’s worse since its still not funny.

          • British_Otaku

            I’ll look at it your way.

            If Kroz actually meant to say that a game which doesn’t feature humans, nameks and such instead focusing on fictional aliens was racist seriously, it would be a pathetic cause not even worth addressing.

            If Kroz meant it as a joke and it wasn’t amusing to you, then it would be a pathetic joke not even worth upvoting or replying to. It wasn’t particularly amusing to me, but that sort of humour clicks with me at least slightly because I watch too much CinemaSins.

    Majin girls are the best.

    That Majin girl in that picture though. She kicked @ss!

    • TheGameTagerZ

      I thought the phrase was “It was I, Dio”

      Are those crunchyroll subs?

  • zferolie

    Well thats interesting… Not sure if I’ll make a female Sayan or a female Majin. Both would look quite good.

    I hope we see what a female super sayan looks like

    • Strawberry Starlet
      • zferolie

        yeah like that, but probably with more battle ready armor haha.

        I heard of the game but never play, but hopefully they expand upon the moves a female super sayan(or any super sayan) can do. I just want her to look and fight like a powerful bruser

  • aizen310

    That Majin girl is actually a Haruno Sakura look-a-like.

    • Syn

      My thoughts exactly lol

    • Christopher Nunes

      Better looking and most likely awesome at fighting and support. :P

  • Brian Carty

    Hm, could probably make a drinking game out of the “CALLED IT” claims in the comments.

  • TheSoullesOne

    Well thats neat i just thought it was a non cannon story character but custom creation is pretty rad i’ll were this goes

  • Christian Wright

    I need to know how deep this customization goes. I want to be a black super saiyan with a fade. no pointy hair :>

  • Dale

    I knew it… This is possibly the best feature they could have added!

  • Lloyd Christmas

    When? WHEN ARE YOU RELEASING?! Seriously, I haven’t been this excited for a DragonBall game in quite some time. I feel like I’m back in elementary school again.

  • Suzaku

    As expected (at least by some), they’e repurposing the character designs and concepts from the discontinued Dragon Ball Online, which was supervised heavily by Toriyama.

  • http://blackstar2661.deviantart.com/ SilverSpades

    Nice to see I was right. Though I didn’t think it was going to be an avatar.

    http://www.siliconera.com/2014/06/23/dragon-ball-xenoverses-brand-new-character-screenshots/#comment-1450225905

    • ~*Herb*~

      No I was right

      • http://blackstar2661.deviantart.com/ SilverSpades

        We were both right. It’s clearly taking elements from DBO like I mentioned, and using created characters like you said. I was skeptical because it seemed unlikely. I was waiting on confirmation

        • ~*Herb*~

          Yeah the way they were talking about the “mysterious character” like he was a legit new character, but his design was a dead giveaway for me.

  • TheManWithPants
  • Guest

    Yes!! take my money!! now the only thing its need confirmation about if you can create female character.

    • Scarlet_Devil_Slave

      according to some of the artworks, looks like you can create a female saiyen and female buu. No female namekian because well… they don’t exist.

  • DuskSharkEX

    I wanna see the customization in action…

  • Anime10121

    If this game is actually fun, it may be the first DBZ game I’ve bought since Budokai 3!

  • Guardian Byakko

    Looks like 2 v 2 and 1 v 1 is allowed (maybe 3 v 1 due to image?) Wonder what the chances of 4-way free for all are?
    Never played dragon ball online, so can our character wield weapons (sword etc.)

  • Ren Yuumei

    Knew it

  • Moof chan

    Alright, votes on how many Galo Sengens there’ll be?

    If you don’t know what that is…well, best to just let this video speak for itself.

  • Godman

    Words cannot explain the shear amount of HYPE that has erupted within me.
    CAC with BT gameplay? Win it’s freak’n win baby!
    Hopefully a demo will come out to showcase the creator.

  • https://www.youtube.com/user/LetsPlayerRPG Claytonred9

    Seems like an interesting idea. I like the concept, but the avatar character doesn’t need to be too powerful. The avatar character also doesn’t need to be too weak either. I would like a balanced avatar system.

    • Christopher Nunes

      Start off with some good balance skills at first and train your Avatar character so by the end of the Majin Arc you can rival SSJ3 Goku at his peak without transforming. ^_^

      • https://www.youtube.com/user/LetsPlayerRPG Claytonred9

        Sounds like a good idea to me! :D

  • IS | 桂木

    Time to make a qt Majin waifu

  • MasterScrub

    I… I can’t decide if I wanna insert myself, or make a Majin girl. MUTILPLE SAVE FILES PLS

  • http://hatintime.com/ ShadowFang

    Hub World? Custom character? Interfering with DBZ history? Jeez louise – Dimps is making “freshening up this stale series” look EASY! XD

    So glad Bamco got them back onboard. They really needed to come back and fix what Spike and ArtDink have been doing to DBZ in the video game world…

    I hope the C-a-C is good enough that you can make Dragon Quest or Chrono Trigger characters. Good thing Akira Toriyama’s characters “all look the same” now, huh? ( ^ – ^ )

  • RagingTiger44

    Cause we didn’t already know that it was us…However, the inclusion of Dragonball Online races and Time Patrol Trunks was unexpected.

  • aizen310

    Toki Toki City
    So…
    Time Time City, according to my japanese.
    Such a fantastic name :P

    • AuraGuyChris

      Doki Doki Panic.

      • aizen310

        “Doki” is the sound of a heartbeat, right?

        • AuraGuyChris

          I don’t know. I just said that name because the city’s name reminded me of that game. :P

  • Crimrui

    Well, quite a lot of us guessed this but honestly, I didn’t think it would be that deep. Those clothing look sick and getting other two races like in Online really surprised me… in a positive way mind you. Please let there be two slots. One for my alter-ego and a badass female majin. :3

  • Spider-Man

    Majin girl “art” will appear soon. Regardless, I am beyond excited. Day 1.

    • Mecha_the_Hedgehog

      To late it already has like over a year ago.

      • Spider-Man

        Yes but that has stopped. There will be a resurgence I mean.

  • Spider-Man

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p84nBxAwQOs

    Remember this guys? I’m totally creating the black haired human.

  • Blaz

    *coughs into hand, plants foot into the ground and closes eyes before opening once more. Looks at the camera, calmly and securely, and as he places his hands behind his back, he places a stoic face on and says.* “I told you so.”

    • Blaz

      Also, if they do this right. Definitely making a swordsman.

  • mike dickson

    u don’t say

  • Christopher Nunes

    I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Totally called it! ^_^

    I mean it was odd showing a Gohan look-alike character like that in the first place and then stated he was an original character meant for the game. It was odd phrasing and then the design of the character himself with those mix garment he wore.

    But I now realize WHAT the trailer said before “A clock that once has stopped, will start to tick again” was a reference to Dragon Ball Online as that has been discontinued and with the Character Creation confirmed in this game and using races from the DBO game along with Time Patrol Trunks was pointing to that which I think is a nice and awesome treat to have!

    I hope we can go beyond Super Saiyan in the game, I wouldn’t mind going Super Saiyan God as well seeing as you don’t have that drastic of a change in appearance like the SSJ, and then there’s Dragon Ball Heroes with the Player Avatar Saiyan going SSJ3 so I hope we can go there.

    Also for the Majin characters have them have the Absorption ability like Super Buu had and merge with your teammate or your opponent’s teammate to gain their abilities and become stronger along with the “True” Majin form.

    If not in this game I hope a possible sequel expansion upon the CaC system and the game and features to make it better than before! Right now I’m REALLY looking forward to this game!

    Also would LOVE to see Frieza’s race, Andriods, and other races available down the line as well! This is shaping up to be the BEST DBZ game in a long while! I hope some GT characters are in it, I don’t expect a roster like BT3 (one of the reasons the BT series is my favorite DBZ game series, with Budokai after it) and wouldn’t mind some characters going, but I love to recreate the epic battles from DB, DBZ, and DBGT or add my own dream battles with the cast or with my character instead!

    When is this game coming out again? This Winter?

    • Federico

      i believe sometime in 2015 is all they’ve said.

      • Christopher Nunes

        Ooh… so long until we get. BUT that means they can polish it so more and make it the BEST DBZ game it can be! I don’t mind. ^_^

  • ShawnOtakuSomething

    soooo making a Majin girl

  • Vash bane

    been confirmed a couple days ago that it will have both genders for each race (minus nameks…I don’t remember them having females even in the online game) this is basically shaping up to be the console counter part of the online one (which makes me wonder will it also be like ultimate where you train your characters stats and learn moves from official characters) and that’s a good thing :D.

    • Koibito888

      I agree that that is a very good thing. Just to clarify though, there won’t be female Nameks. Technically there are no males either, Namekians are asexual beings so they have no different genders.

  • Kornelious

    Awesome! let’s just hope they do it right this time around unlike Ultimate Tenkaichi…..And i wonder if this will take the place of story mode, it would certainly be a nice twist away from the usual retelling of the series

    Either way. I’m definitely looking forward to this :D
