Crossover the Dragon Ball, One Piece e Toriko

The official website for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Tuesday that an hour-long crossover television anime special between Toriko, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z will air on Sunday, April 7 at 9:00 a.m. The "Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Chō Collaboration Special!!" will air in two parts: the first part will be titled "Hashire Saikyō Gundan! Toriko to Luffy to Goku!" (Run, Strongest Army! Toriko, Luffy, Goku!), and the second part will be titled: "Shijō Saikyō Collaboration vs. Umi no Taishokukan" (History's Strongest Collaboration vs. Glutton of the Sea).

Toriko and One Piece have already been featured in two crossover specials in April 2011 and April 2012. The third special will commemorate the start of the third year of the Toriko anime, which premiered in April 2011. Toriko and One Piece share Fuji TV's "Dream 9" programming block that begins on Sundays at 9:00 a.m.

Fuji TV's Toriko producer Arisu Takagi teased various possibilities for the upcoming special, such as if Zoro, Zebra, and Vegeta fought, or if Sanji and Komatsu had a cooking match, or if Chopper witnessed Goten and Trunks' fusion. Takagi adds that this time they will "cram it all in." Takagi said that Mr. Satan will also be included in the special, as well as gag scenes, and a battle scene where Toriko, Luffy, and Goku all team up together.

Toriko, Luffy, and Goku will also star in Namco Bandai Games' upcoming Project Versus J PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 "team battle action" game (pictured right). The game is a part of the ongoing 45th anniversary celebrations for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

Last week the official Japanese Shōnen Jump website revealed the plot for the upcoming, two-part “Dream 9 Super Collaboration Special” set to air 07 April 2013 from 9:00 to 10:00 am on Fuji TV in Japan featuring Toriko, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z.

And what’s this, it’s Son Goku and co. — the members of Dragon Ball are also competing in the event. Who will be the strongest?! “Toriko vs Luffy vs Goku” can only be seen in this collaboration special! The mightiest decisive showdown is kicking off!!

(Second Part)
The IGO (International Gourmet Organization) is hosting the “World’s Best Eating Tournament” race. When tournament champion Mister Satan1 serves up the championship prize, Carat Sizzled Cattle, to Luffy, Toriko, Goku, and co., Mansam2 reveals the shocking truth. According to him, the tournament has been held in order to lure out the Deep Sea Glutton, Akami, said to suck out the energy of living things. And then, sensing Luffy and co.’s power, Akami appears from out of the depths of the sea, but… the super killer technique of “Toriko+Luffy+Goku” (which can only be seen in this collaboration special) explodes!

1 “Mister Satan” — A fictional character from “Dragon Ball Z”
2 “Mansam” — The director of the IGO “Gourmet Research Institute” in “Toriko”

The TV special — a follow-up to two prior Toriko and One Piece crossovers from the last two years — airs one week after the debut of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods in Japanese theaters.

The three franchises will also be joining forces at some point this year for a PlayStation 3 and Vita team battle crossover game called Project Versus J, which itself has not had any recent developments or updates in quite some time.

Drizzy escreveu:Já vi o crossover inteiro. Gostei, mas desiludiu-me um bocado. Demasiadas incoerências, viu-se logo que os produtores nem quiseram saber dos powerlevels. O monstro absorveu o poder do Gohan e Gotenks SSJ, mas mesmo assim é derrotado pelo Goku, lol. Também não percebi porque é que as personagens de DB não simplesmente voaram na primeira prova do torneio. O Vegeta e o Zoro também podiam ter feito mais, só apareceram em duas cenas e essas cenas foram exatamente iguais, lol. Quanto à animação, excelente, achei que às vezes as personagens de DB pareciam um bocado defeituosas, mas isso é também por causa da animação ser diferente da anterior, acho. O vilão achei ridículo, um monstro, uau. Podiam ter feito melhor, um vilão a sério, sei lá. Mas pronto, no fundo gostei do conceito, gostei de ver as minhas personagens preferidas a socializar e da batalha final. Agora tenho que esperar que saiam legendas em inglês para ver outra vez, já que não encontro legendado em lado nenhum.

Ah, e outra coisa. Apesar de comemorar 3 anos de Toriko e de ser um episódio de OP, quem recebe mais destaque é DB, lol.
