The Japanese website of Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine announced a while ago that tomorrow (or today, depends on your time zone), April 4, 2008, they will publish a one-shot manga created by Masakazu Katsura, one of the masters of manga dramas and highly memorable love triangles (Video Girl Ai, DNA, I’’s) and action master Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball saga, Dr. Slump). I don’t know what to expect, maybe A love triangle between super-powered robot martial artists from the future that protect justice at night? Any way, I think it will be pure awesomeness.
Good news if you can get the magazine! Remember the name, it’s: Jump Square’s Supreme

Ahhh, 6th grade. . . all the kids on town (and in the whole country!) had this moderate to dangerous addiction to Dragon Ball; not anime in general, but JUST Dragon Ball, its peak in the Z sagas. Kids would do hard to believe acts to get that one special edition poster, figure, hard to get Yokos (pogs), and in weird cases, an original DBZ SNES cartridge.
I was one of the lucky ones who had that rich friend who managed to acquire on of these last copies. Strangely enough, all the others who would get a DBZ game got the very same, DBZ Super Butouden 3. Weird coincidence.
The premise of the game is simple: The tournament takes place at the beginning of the Majin Boo Saga, with Fat Boo and Majin Vegeta as playable characters. . . and that’s it. You see, there’s not much to see in the past DBZ games, since most of us just cared if we could use Goku and make Kame-hame-ha’s like crazy. Ahh, when so little gave us so much fun.
ShiryuGL shows us a little of what this game offers: Great SNES graphics, nice music, and Big Bang Attack!
