I want this to be VERY clear.
Sparking! ZERO is happening because Dragon Ball is a hundred billion yen franchise for Bandai, and it has SEVEN active video games.
Before you ask “Why don’t other anime get this treatment?” look and see if other anime built up what DB did.
Purchasing the Digital Deluxe edition of One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows will get you a variety of costumes, including:
- "New Arms" Genos
- "Fur Coat" Fubuki
- "Prisoner" Speed-o-Sound Sonic
- "Pajamas" Tatsumaki

On June 17, a trademark was filed by Shueisha for "One Piece Odyssey," with Bandai Namco listed as the agent.
Looks like our next game will be called One Piece: Odyssey or something similar.

Casual reminder that:
1. Anime games that cover manga material have been rare for at least 20 years
2. Specific permission has to be granted to use manga content
In Japan, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash sold 25,242 physical copies on Switch alone!
Meaning that, even if there actually WERE 100,000 refunds in the first four days (which there were not, let’s not be stupid), it still sold almost twice as much as Storm Connections.
Seeing these all on one platform is INSANE. It’s gonna take YEARS for a franchise to get a run like this, and it’s probably gonna be Dragon Ball again 😭😭
Can someone explain to me why this game is being shat on? Is it solely because its an Arena style game? Cause it doesnt look that bad. Id at least give a try. Tenkaichi's first attempt wasnt the strongest, yet here we are today.
*HUGE NEWS*

Xenoverse 2 is the third-highest selling anime game of all time and probably the most profitable one on consoles.
Y’all are insane for wanting it to die off.

There isn’t. The company involved, MAGES, frequently hits creators (even creators they approve) with copyright strikes for playing their games. They’ve also went on record saying they don’t want people posting footage of their VNs at all.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash Update & DLC Summary:
- Hidden Inventory/Premature Death pack includes the story, 3 characters (Young Gojo, Young Geto, Toji), costumes for the new characters, and extra customization items
Worst outcome: HxH fighter is a 2D fighter
Standard outcome: HxH fighter is an arena fighter
Good outcome: HxH fighter is a 3D fighter
Best outcome: HxH fighter is a 3D fighter and sells well enough to kickstart a new wave of 3D fighters
If the information’s right:
- Beginning to Aizen (THANK GOD)
- The usual bigger game platforms (Everything but XONE and Switch)
- 30-40 characters at launch
I’m gonna have to see the actual trailer so I can guess a developer, but we can rule out Spike, Byking and probably CC2.
YouTuber Shinobu Yoshida was found guilty posting a let's play of Steins;Gate: My Darling's Embrace, sentenced to 2 years prison (suspended for 5 years) and a 1 mil yen fine.
It's the first time someone has been found guilty of copyright infringement by posting gameplay videos.
@AreCreeps
already talked about this, but now we have confirmation from Bandai: Arc System Works was NOT involved in the current-gen port.
The same studio that ported the game also handled the rollback update.

Naruto Storm Connections sold 9,004 copies on Switch and 4,279 copies on PS5, totaling 13,283 in its first week!
The PS4 version didn’t make the Top 30, meaning it also sold less than 2509.
NEW VIDEO
The stars aligned and hell froze over, and now we've got a brand new Bleach game from one of my favorite developers! Today we're talking about the developer behind BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls (and more), Tamsoft!
I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up for a Tenkaichi-related announcement, but it'd be interesting if it happens.
Dragon Ball's 40th anniversary IS in two years and it's almost guaranteed to bring a bigger game.
But who knows? 🤷🏾♂️
I’ve been keeping an eye on this for the longest time and now I can finally confirm it:
THE QUINTESSENTIAL QUINTUPLETS VISUAL NOVELS ARE GETTING A WESTERN RELEASE
#TheQuintessentialQuintuplets
Top 3 Anime Game Franchises:
1. Megami Tensei (At least 42.6 million units sold)
2. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (At least 21 million units sold)
3. Dragon Ball Xenoverse (At least 15 million units sold)
1. Naruto
- Hundred billion yen franchise? No (It’s around 25, iirc)
- Active games? 3 or 4 (Storm Connections, Shinobi Striker, Ninja Voltage; Does Bandai publish Online?)
@Traster_
@KaroshiMyriad
It’s true and I have news articles, copyright takedowns (both delayed and immediate) and emails to back that up.
They do not care.
It seems that a lot of Tenkaichi 3 pros are skeptical about Sparking! ZERO's gameplay mechanics; namely the camera and movement systems. The camera as well as movement in ZERO are more reminiscent of XV2/Kakarot's respective systems. Speaking about this now before it's too late.
In comparison, how many arena fighters have we got since 2020?
7.
- One Punch Man
- One’s Justice 2
- MBON
- Hinokami Chronicles
- Storm Connections
- Cursed Clash
- Sparking! ZERO
So maybe we should look for other games to play instead of blowing this out of proportion? 🤔
One Piece’s main problem is that the majority of its games are single-player (or single-player focused), so they don’t nearly as much room to grow as a live service game would.
Until OP gets a multiplayer/live-service hit, the games will be stuck where they’re at.
A Jujutsu Kaisen mobile RPG is coming!
- Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade
- Developed/Published by Sumzap, the developer/publisher of KonoSuba: Fantastic Days
- No release date announced
#JujustuKaisen
#JujutsuPhanpara
3. Gundam
- Hundred billion yen franchise? Yes
- Active games? A lot
(EXVS, Battle Operation 2, U.C. Engage, Arsenal Base, Tribe, SD Operations, etc.) + 1 in development (Breaker 4)
Spike Chunsoft and CyberConnect2 are almost the same kind of company to me.
When they’re on their shit, they make great games. (Spike’s games are better mechanically, while CC2’s are better visually)
The problem is neither one has been on their shit in at least 10 years.
Make sure to watch Bandai Namco's showcase today, it looks like the trailer for the Bleach Rebirth of Souls will be there...
Here's a sneak peak...Tell me it does not look awesome?

《Latest magazine》 The industry is in chaos over the money that Dragon Ball will produce in the future. Many people, including Capsule Corporation Tokyo as well as Shueisha, are involved in disputes regarding Dragon Ball. The wishes of Mr. Toriyama's family are most important.
Over 8 millions of you have shown your support for DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT.
Thank you for helping us reach this great milestone – we hope you look forward to what’s coming next!

Do you wanna immerse yourself in an MMO? Do you wanna play a competitive 2D fighter? Do you wanna play a card game? Do you wanna experience the majority of the story? Do you wanna participate in money laundering? Do you wanna make your own story?
Dragon Ball’s got it all rn
Gundam Breaker 4 has been announced! Coming to PS4/5, Switch and PC, it’ll be available later this year!
It’ll have a Network Test, a Season Pass, and various physical and digital editions,
Y’all are starting to blow the whole “rights issue” out of proportion and get extra dramatic. It’s literally just “they need to get extra permission” and they simply chose not to
There are rights issues using Manga-Only concepts like Ultra Ego. EVEN IF
#SparkingZERO
gave fanservice by adding a temp purple hair ability but didn't name it Ego... Dragon Ball would just sue Dragon Ball.
That's the Franchise HQ for you.
Even before this arrest:
1. MAGES. president personally hit an Anonymous;Code livestream with a copyright strike without knowing HIS COMPANY ALREADY APPROVED IT
9. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Saw some Sparking! ZERO footage that addressed one of my biggest problems with roughly half the arena fighters out: You can’t move while you shoot.
Gundam VS might just have been dethroned as the GOAT.
“Why do they keep making arena fighters?”
Because the most successful arcade anime game and half the highest-selling console anime games are arena fighters.
Sparking! ZERO is a money laundering tactic to pay Masako Nozawa enough money to cover all her healthcare costs for the next 100 years.
(Not to keep her playing Goku, but just because they like her)
