I’ve read Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball about 15 years ago (which is happen to be the first manga I’ve ever read) and I really love it ’til now. I love the character, I love the story, and most of all, I love the fighting. My favourite character is Goku, but Vegeta isn’t bad as well. Anyway, good news for all of DB fans in the world, including me, Bandai Korea will soon release “Dragon Ball Online” MMORPG! This game will take place 250 years after Dragon Ball Z and Majin-B event (Age 1000). More detail follows, but for now, check out the video after the jump.
