Dragonball Legends

The box art for season four of Dragon Ball has been revealed. Here is a description of this item :

Goku’s headed for a showdown with a sinister green fiend!
A new breed of evil – more powerful than anything ever experienced – is taking the world’s greatest martial artists down for the count. Goku is quick to join the fight, but he’s about to meet his match in the form of King Piccolo. This menacing monster has the power to pulverize the planet, and his murderous rampage will not stop until he controls the power of the seven magic Dragon Balls.
When Krillin is the first hero cut down by the monster’s minion, the stage is set for a brutal grudge match between Goku and Piccolo. Earth’s greatest champion vows to avenge the loss of his best friend, but first, he must journey to Korin Tower on a quest for the Ultra Divine Water: a magical elixir that could give him the strength to save humanity – or send him straight to the grave!

You can pre-order Season Four from Amazon at a set price of $44.99.

Speaking of the Dragon Box, anyone get their hands on the first volume? I did I must say it it amazing, truly a must have for any fan.

Sad news Dragon Ball fans, there will not be a new DB related anime special this year (as we were hoping). Of course I think we were just spoiled with the recent Dragon ball special, “Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return” from last years Jump Anime Tour. But there is still hope to next year’s Jump Anime Tour. And at least we got Dragon Ball Kai this year.

Anyways, the tour begins October 12th in Tokyo and will end on November 29th in Sapporo. Kanzentai reports the following anime/manga events.

- One Piece : Screening footage of the series 10th movie, “Strong World”. In theaters December 12th.
- Naruto : Brand new special for the 10 year anniversary.
- Toriko : Manga becomes alive with the series finally becoming animated.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! – Screening of the 10th anniversary special.
- Katekyou Hitman Reborn! – An animated special covering the Vongola mafia family.
- Letter Bee – Continuation from last year’s animated premiere at the JSAT.
