On April 7 at 9:00 a.m. a 1 hour special of Toei's big 3 step in to the Ring of World Martial Arts Tournament to see who is number one
Quote:
Cast and story for the "Dream 9 Toriko & One Piece & Dragon Ball Z Chō Collaboration Special!!" airing on April 7. Toriko's International Gourmet Organization has sponsored "Tenkaichi Shokuōkai," a merciless race with no rules (and a nod to Dragon Ball Z's Tenkaichi Budōkai tournament). The showdown may determine the strongest of the three franchises' leads: Toriko, Goku, or Luffy.
.
The special will feature the following cast of characters:
.
Toriko: Toriko, Sunny, Zebra, Coco (the "Four Heavenly King" Gourmet Hunters), Komatsu, Rin, Setsuno
One Piece: Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Sanji, Zoro, Franky, Robin, Usopp
Dragon Ball Z: Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Kame Sennin, Android No. 18, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krilin, Announcer, Mr. Satan






I can't say I care much about Toriko, so it's presence in this is a moot point for me, but I am excited to see more Goku and Luffy insanity. This should be great.

Now that the crossover has aired...impressions? I know it's late, but I only just saw it. I personally enjoyed it. The special felt rushed and seemed like it was lacking something, but that usually happens in a meaningless special with limited time. There are a few things I also noted:
1. Did Goku have a new VA or was Goku sounding wierd just me?
2. Since Funimation dub all 3, will we see the special dubbed in English? Then there's voice clashes to think of. For example, Sonny Strait uses the same voice for Krillin and Usopp, but then Krillin only has the one line in the special, so he shouldn't have a problem. Chris Sabat might, though. He already voices 3 in it! Sabat voices Piccolo, Vegeta and Zoro, and the latter 2 meet head-to-head. Good thing is that the voices are fairly different for Zoro and Vegeta. Sabat has no role in Toriko so far. But if he voices Zebra, who also clashes with Zoro and Vegeta, I'll laugh.

Don't hate me because I only like 1 type of anime, I just love it that much! ^_^
