I'm surprise that they didn't give GT Gohan a SSj4 form yet. Not to mention they could have give Adult Gotenks a SSj4 form since they made GT Gotenks into a official character. Funny how yesterday's Dragon Ball AF is now today's reality.

If Dragon Ball Heroes is still the thing that I think it is (Kids sticking cards into arcade machines and "coaching" the Dragon Ball characters to fight against each other Pokémon-style) than hell no.

Heroes can be a fun show if has good writing to it. Who cares if it's toy driven as long if it's fun and tells a good story to it.

[Kiwami]

I care if characters are thrown around like collectables and we get the same old "Tournament Game"-story where the protagonist needs to win this thing to pay the operation for his sick grandma or whatever.

I'm not saying Super is good, I actually stopped watching because of the whole "Retelling the movies"-bullshit, but a merchandise driven show is the last thing I want to see happening to Dragon Ball.

[Guyver Spawn]

Both Kai and Super where made to sell merchandise since Kai bombed due to poor merchandise sells (before they brought it back last year). Most kids shows in general are toy commercials, and not just in Japan. Even they are not blatant than others (TMNT, Kamen Rider, Yu-Gi-Oh, Transformers and Super Sentai/Power Rangers).

A show about Heroes wouldn't be about kids playing the game though. It has a story behind the game that could be turned into a show, which I assume is what Kiryu actually meant.

But they are not based on merchandise...

I just don't want to see a real world game involving fictional characters from a show getting turned into a show again, and last time I checked out the manga it was exactly that: Guys playing the game.

If Kiryu meant something else I don't know about it.

i been wanting see heros anime for long time. the fact i can see it being mainly a digimon style story where kids get sucked in the arcade game in the dragon ball world and need use the card reader device to summon said character to help fight said villian.

Perhaps my understanding of the "story" behind Heroes was wrong then. That I would not want to see as a Dragon Ball show either.

[Kiwami]

Yes it is exactly that, and no offence WhiteRanger, but this is what I don't want to see.

Maybe Kiryu ment the little side-stories that the game tells rather than the manga which is kids playing the game and getting sucked into the arcade machine/serving as ingame avatars to guide their Dragonball characters and summon them via cards.

The manga is basically something along the lines of Gundam Build Fighters, it's set in a universe where Dragonball is also fictional and the Dragonball Heroes arcade game exists, and people fight against each other in a tournament and stuff. They use teams with a theme, like one dude has an avatar of a Freezer-alien and his team consists of the Freezer clan members, or the android guy who fights using the android characters.

The heroes are saiyans in-game and summon the saiyan heroes, Goku and friends.

I liked Gundam Build fighters, because the appeal in this is that you use Gunpla which is already a thing and combined it with the fact that Gundam is also about the machines, so people pilot their favorite mechs and fight against each other. That makes sense to me. Summoning Dragonball characters via cards and let them battle like Pokémon/Digimon doesn’t.
