The phrase "Lucky bastards" dosn't even begin to sum up my feelings towards this. I'm hardly a dragon ball fan I haven't seen enough of it to make a solid judgment, but seeing some manga in full on color would be awesome...

It's this sort of shenanigans that makes digital manga make so much sense.

Wait, is it just coincidence or did V Jump actually use the over 9000 scene to help boost promotion for the color manga in that spread to those who are in the know for the meme? Shocked

Viz should release it in a hardcover and market as being the "perfect unedited edition" or some other nonsense title and cash in.

When I read this, I seriously made a little 'oooh' sound.

C'mon Viz, release this!

The "Dragon Ball" manga in full color. That's unbelievable. I didn't think anyone would do that. I'm just amazed by it.

Yeah, they are clearly trying to appeal to foreigners who like a dumb meme.

Is it so odd showing off the new color panels with one of the pivotal scenes of the Saiyan arc?

Just a bad voice acting thing. Coupled with a mis-translation. Others include the famous "It's okay, I can see their parachutes" line.
