Compare this against the longer and more complex rendering process for the 2011 game Dragon Ball Zenkai Battle

“hOW diD you ExTRacT that ASSeT?” You’d be surprised how often changing the extension of a file just fucking works lmao

Ya know it’s hard to argue with Torishima when America doesn’t value Toriyama related printed media at all. There’s so much shit we don’t get that pretty much all other countries get. To the point I’ve actually just started buying a bunch of Dragon Ball products in Spanish.

I’m actually insanely curious on what this bootleg ass Yugioh card set contains

Any Computer Graphics nerds out here on BlueSky? Here's a "Behind-the-Scenes" look at how Dragon Ball Z Infinite World renders a scene :)

With a little bit of hacking you can manipulate this outline model in the games and observe the effect :)

How does the outline effect in the PS2 DBZ Budokai games work? Well essentially there are two models directly placed on top of each other. The outline model has its normals inverted, and its vertices displaced in a direction determined by its normal value, creating the effect.

I think my goal for this year is to focus my content more on behind the scenes Dragon Ball gaming stuff because that’s really what I’m most interested in (even if I don’t think my viewers are)

I feel like anime card game fans live like on a separate pocket of the internet

Would y'all like me to do a "Behind the Scenes Secrets" video for Budokai 3 and Infinite World? What are some things you're curious about?

Haven't forgotten this, just haven't had time to sit down and lock in on this

A little behind the scenes magic but during that fun mini-game in Dragon Ball Infinite World, you are indeed just playing as the disembodied hand of Freeza lol

I'm curious, how many of y'all like 3D anime? I think it can be executed really well if don't right but I was surprised by the amount of people absolutely appalled by it

I need to find all my old Dragon Ball Twitter moots here

Time to wake up for a fresh @kanzenshuu.com podcast episode! This time around we have @vegettoex.bsky.social chatting with @goldenportable.bsky.social about pre-smartphone games and his work porting one of them (a racing game!!!) to the PlayStation 2. 👂🎙️📻👇 www.kanzenshuu.com/2025/11/30/p...

Spoiler: we have @goldenportable.bsky.social coming up on the next podcast episode talking all about old Dragon Ball mobile phone games and his work on porting this racing game (!!!) to the PlayStation 2! Stay tuned to your RSS feeds next week...

@vegettoex.bsky.social from Kanzenshuu was able to test my early DBZ Racing port on real PlayStation 2 hardware and it works like a charm! Planning a V2 release sometime next week with some actual basic gameplay and the actual Goku racer sprites in!

I've been looking for what I can assume might just be something I made up in my head: a picture of Akira Toriyama surrounding by a bunch of Arale plush merchandise 🤔 Am I crazy?

Dragon Ball Kart PS2 Update Time (11/19): Camera is now a proper "follow-cam" (no Smooth-Cam/Interpolation yet) Very basic car acceleration, no turning. Actually somewhat of a game now, even if barebones lol

Dragon Ball Kart PS2 Update (11/12): Rendering of 3D elements on the PlayStation 2 is relative to the camera's placement. So even though I have the math to move the Kart, I need to translate its position to camera coordinates. Or else you get trippy behaviour like this :)

I’m not an “all games need an easy mode” type of guy but I think this game could benefit a lot from some difficulty adjusters

Anybody beat Black Myth Wukong? I really liked the story and world of the game but unfortunately I’m too ass to actually enjoy it 😭

Also the seller sent a random Japanese Pokémon card with it too which was neat :)

As someone who fell into the “all Shonen manga in the 60s/70s looked like Tezuka/Ishinomori” trap, reading Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 1 (1968) made me appreciate the sheer variety of styles packed into their first volumes. Early manga history should be more storied in America

Day 4 Dragon Ball Racing PlayStaion 2 Update: Version 0.01 Officially Released on my Itch! Literally just a Render Test right now, but I figured out how to pack the game into a valid ISO that you can run yourself in PCSX2 (or even burn to a disc) Follow me and give it a spin!

For those of y’all who aren’t following me on Twitter (understandable) I’ve been working on porting Dragon Ball Racing (2009) from Japanese mobile phone to PlayStation 2 Here’s a quick render test so far!

Guess what I got?

Also at 6th place in Beckett’s July 2002 “Top 10 Dragon Ball Toys” list is Broly with a semiautomatic

Here are some 2002 toy catalog listings from Beckett’s Dragon Ball Collectors Magazine featuring everyone’s favorite gun touting Krillin and Vegeta 😎

Added on to my list of shit I don’t pronounce right: The “Hakusho” in Yu Yu Hakusho 🧐

It was a real one last night.

I’m having a hard time explaining to people that legitimately licensed Dragon Ball toys that came with gun accessories were actually sold in North America by Irwin Toy back in the day. Like shit you could pick up at Toys R Us.

I'm getting overwhelmed a bit with YouTube ngl 😞

Okay I don't think Kaiba stealing Blue Eyes was worth Yugi turning Kaiba into a fucking vegetable

Half of the Yugioh cast are like peak superhuman freaks of nature who can jump out of a mach speed jets, but instead of standing on some Dragon Ball Z shit they decide to settle beef with card games for some reason.

They kinda imply that Yugi cheats like hell throughout this tournament Like that ain't the power of friendship bro you literally helped him pull that card

Jonouchi, you literally watched Yugi's grandpa get his soul cast into eternal purgatory, why is a practical card trick getting you flustered?

This is a cool party trick I guess, but does being able to know the cards in your hand while face down have literally any benefits from a game perspective?

This is some A+ aura farming

Checking in on your BlueSky mutuals kinda feels like visiting that part of your family that made it out and lives in the suburbs

Alright my collection is growing I might have a problem

I ordered some cheapo knockoff One Piece cards off AliExpress and ngl they’re not half bad

After the success of Smash 64, Bandai saw $$$ and knew they had to quickly cash in! Digimon Rumble Arena often gets credit, but One Piece: Grand Battle on the PS1 was released as likely the FIRST Smash Bros clone ever! Let’s take a look into the often overlooked debut of the Grand Battle series!

Ironheart was alright. It’s definitely held down by virtue of being a Disney MCU project that has to go down the checklist of formulaic elements before it can try something new.

Thanks for everyone that showed up to watch me ramble lol. I've been programming my animated lip-synced avatar software for a while so glad it was able to work.

Testing my Live streaming setup on Youtube if y'all want to check it out!

Honestly while I know black-and-white pages are a staple of Japanese manga, I fuck with colored manga heavy. Probably my preferred way to read a lot of series in my opinion.

Feels like a "3D Model rips from Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden on the Nintendo DS" type of day

Finally finished the Marine Ford Arc. I can't understate how much the arc improves once they finally make it to the fucking plaza. Felt like they were running towards that shit forever 😂
