1. 

   There was no appropriate place for this in the article, so in case you’re curious, what does Hoshi mean?

   Hoshi [星] means Star. So, Dragon Ball Star, essentially. Although it can also mean planetary object.

   Now if it were Hoshii, with two I’s, then it would mean “I want,” or “wish,” which would make more sense as a fan creation, implying “I want [more] Dragon Ball,” or “Dragon Ball Wish.”

   Where this name came from remains a mystery.

   nice article. And i see, I had heard about dragon ball SD and had heard that it was the same person who had made yo son goku and his friends return with Mr. Toriyama, it seems that is real, the only difference being i heard the brolly special was part of it, guess not, nice article, clears some things up.

   Yeah, clearing up the confusion was the whole point. Glad to know the article works.

4. [...] But explaining Dragon Ball Hoshi will have to wait for another day. [Update on Feb 20, 2012. Here is Dragon Ball Hoshi Explained.] [...]

   I'm glad somebody has written about this mess. Now I have something to link to when people bring up "Hoshi" who are obviously ill informed of how marketing is done.

   To add my own stamp on your essay, Derek; If there's ever a new Dragon Ball series, you won't find out about it on fucking YouTube.

   Comment by Biba Sennin — February 21, 2012 @ 6:53 am

   Right. Unless Toei tries to pull some viral marketing stunt. Maybe involving the "Super Saiyans are Real" kid, haha.

   But yes, I would have thought it was common sense that it wasn't genuine, and yet here we are. This article is already very popular, and it's because of all the random searches for "Dragon Ball Hoshi" on Google. Fans want it to exist.

   Thanks for making this artice. It’s kinda annoying how many people think this is real. Like many others though, I wish there could be a new series. Would indeed be awesome.

   Yep, you're welcome! And I agree!

   Too bad it probably isn't real. And if it was real, it wouldn't be ad good as the old dragonball, dragonball z episodes, because the creator already quit making episodes for a long time. It would be great though, a completely new storyline.

   Comment by Thomas — March 6, 2012 @ 10:25 am

10. 

    Yes, I agree completely. If a new Dragon Ball series ever began production, I wish I was involved with, because I think I have a pretty good understanding of what makes Dragon Ball tick, and why fans love it so much.

    I hope one day very soon this "Hoshi" business is dealt with. By Mr. Toriyama himself of course announcing some information.

    Comment by ian — April 2, 2012 @ 12:29 am

15. 

    Toei and FUNimation want to keep making money, and rumors about a new Dragon Ball series will keep people interested in the franchise. So I doubt they will make a statement about it.

    That would be cool if Toriyama personally spoke up though.

    Thanks, Bucci.

    I just got into finding about DB Hoshi recently and looked up if this was real. Came by your article and cleared a lot of issues on these rumors. When watching these so called trailers on you tube, one mistake on there part was saying that Akira toriyama had no involvement with DBGT. In which he did in a creative way. All designs are still from him.

    Comment by Shane-O-mac — April 3, 2012 @ 6:20 pm

18. 

    That's more or less accurate. While Akira Toriyama didn't design every single character, he did sign off on several of them, including Super Saiyan 4 Goku, which was designed by another artist at Toei who greatly admired him. I can't remember his name right now.

    Yeah, if you know your Dragon Ball trivia, it becomes fairly clear that these videos aren't from a new Dragon Ball series. They're real, yet not real.

    And I'm glad it helped you. Thanks, Shane-O-mac.

    i knew it was most likely fake from the db heros and the db online stuff, but it would be amazing to have an entire series devoted to bardock that i nearly fell for a couple of months ago. it amazes me how many people on youtube dont know how to google

    Comment by chris — April 6, 2012 @ 2:06 am

20. 

    The end of Bardock's life has already been told, but we know so little about the rest of it. What was Bardock's childhood like? Who raised him, what battles did he fight in, did he ever fall in love? There are so many possible stories.

    It would make sense to build a new series around Bardock because he looks and sounds just like Goku, the character that people are already familiar with and adore.

    Comment by derekpadula — April 6, 2012 @ 4:14 pm

21. 

    If there was a new Dragon Ball series, what would you want it to be like? Personally, I would just want an alternate Z timeline, where the saiyans arrive later than originally, giving the human Z fighters some spotlight.

    Comment by Joe — April 8, 2012 @ 4:08 pm

22. 

    I'd want it to be the continuation of Goku's story so we can see what happens to him at the end of GT. It could be immediately after or hundreds of years later. I just want to know what transformation he went through. To me, that scene is just like in the Matrix when Neo fuses his consciousness with the machines. He undergoes a transformation and then disappears. But there's gotta be more to the story after that.

    Of course to really tell that story you'd have to go into the supernormal. Even more supernormal than DBZ already is. And maybe that's why I like that idea so much.

    Comment by derekpadula — April 8, 2012 @ 5:16 pm

23. 

    I think they should reanimate the whole series. Keep every thing the same but sprue up the graphics by giving it more detail.

    Comment by Kyle — April 11, 2012 @ 2:28 am

24. 

    if only the rumers were true that would be amazing i remember seeing the last episode of gt and saying yep they have to make a new series to explain what goku does after that

    Comment by James — April 11, 2012 @ 6:48 pm

25. 

    now that would be very cool to see! Bardock is one of my favorates! I always wished there would be some kind of event that would put Goku and his father together somehow and for Bardock to see just how powerful his son was becoming, as a super saiyan or one of the other levels.

    Comment by Jeremy — April 13, 2012 @ 7:43 am

    bummer! oh well, what do ya do? Itold my one friend about this "new" series and after reading this I just text him and said forget it

    You just broke my hearth, i tought it was real, and i wonder if so many people want another dragon ball, why they dont just make another one and make a lot of money out of it. I guess the only thing left to do is to find the dragon balls and ask for my wish, more dragon ball!!!

    Why would you dead this rumour for, fair enough it isn't real but that's why we still love dbz so much the slightest hope that it will return regardless whether or not its wasting our time

    Comment by suren — April 18, 2012 @ 11:04 am

34. 

    Because it's a lie. That's why.

    Why would you prefer to live in ignorance when ignorance is the primary cause of suffering?

    Your reaction is very fascinating because it's a perfect example of how much Dragon Ball fans want their to be a new series. They know that Hoshi is a lie and yet they continue to perpetuate it as if it were true.

    i also wish they would just make a new series. i'm so fucking sick of companies doing MMOs and shooting for more constant money. just take of the fans for once people. i know its all a business, and hey make an mmo, but don't do it and ignore the series that EVERYONE clearly wants. i don't give a shit if its new people, new timeline, new universe, new dragonballs, new whatever, just fucking make another series, and stick to the gold of 3 episode power ups, longer and longer hair, bad guys that take every single z fighter to kill, fusions, and why not kill of goku and bring him back a few more times? jesus hasnt got shit on goku. sorry jesus. and fuck yeah, bring back the tails, why not.

    Comment by moses — April 22, 2012 @ 1:58 pm

    Thank you for this blog. The only thing that indeed came as close to the new series was the special anniversary episode where it reveals Vegeta's little brother, asside from the Kai re-made series to convert DBZ into HD for the new generations.

    DBOnline is still beta. The events are from 200 years (or was it 400?) after DBZ in the future. Hopefully it will be released worldwide soon as ive been looking forward for that one. Akira is feeding the fans slowly like that. But thats his style. We shall just wait and see… but yeah we need to ignore those internet lies.

    Comment by dfffr — April 24, 2012 @ 5:11 am

40. 

    Dude, those subtitles don't match! I keep hearing the word "game" in the interview, so that means they're talking about some game instead of Dragon Ball Hoshi. (blegh!) If the word "Hoshi," which translates to "Star" in English, was ever used, we would have heard the word in the interview itself. Plus I don't hear the title Dragon Ball, or in this case "Doragon Boru," ever being used anywhere in the interview. The guy just slapped random bullshit subtitles to mislead everyone. I know my Japanese, learn your facts.

    Also, if you're just using sarcasm and KNEW it was actually fake from the start, don't post it without thinking, because most of us can't see sarcasm in comments.

    By the way, nice article! Now if only the other people could make an attempt to find this, and read it instead of making assumptions that the whole thing is real. This whole fake series ruined the DB Fanbase Community enough already, this needs to stop!

    Also, if you're just that same faker, you're not welcome to this article!

    Comment by VSVoidSpartan — April 24, 2012 @ 1:28 pm

43. 

    I agree, completely! Bardock himself already turned into a Super Saiyan, now what we gotta see is him going all out with his own son! Epicness!

    Comment by VSVoidSpartan — April 24, 2012 @ 1:52 pm

44. 

    In line with VSVoidSpartan's comments, this is absolutely fake. It's footage from an old interview with Toryama, and fake subtitles have been added on top of it in an amateurish fashion.

    If you post videos like this again I will block your IP address from the site and you won't be allowed to comment any further.

    Thank you for calling me a retard, by the way. No offense taking, but let's try to be a little classier next time, okay?

    I would give ANYTHING for a new dbz spin off…….GT was not all that great, but at least it was new. I keep looking for stuff like Hoshi hoping to find ANYTHING about a new show.

    Comment by Cody — April 30, 2012 @ 2:27 am

46. 

    You, me, and a billion others, Cody. I wish Toei would realize what a cash cow they have on their hands and release a new series already.

    But what I find most interesting is that Dragon Ball fandom continues to get larger even WITHOUT a new series. It ended in 1997 yet here we are having this conversation. Really incredible.

52. 

    Those are clips from the reanimated content on the Ultimate Tenkaichi game. The clips were made specifically for the game and are used to help tell the story. That's why each segment starts and stops abruptly. When the animation ends, you begin playing the game again.

    This was posted by the same person who posted the others. He just put the clips back to back.

    Needless to say that this is not Dragon Ball Hoshi.

    hmm… im art-inspired, first of all. i was able to be THE first to know, and i mean KNOW that the hoshi thing was fake. i had found the video, and i was in the first hundreds to view it. i knew, and i mead KNEW this was fake. my friends gave me the cold sholder, and some still do, but they are slowly coming to the realization that this is fake. i told as many people as i could, but nobody wanted to hear it! lies, and deception for a while, that was what i had to deal with, lies… well you know the rest. thank you SO much for posting this. i was wondering if the world would come to their senses.
    you can reach me on the psn. my name, as i said before is "art-inspired" xbox account name is "art inspired"
    im new to the xbox thing. plus, i think one more super sayian and goku may become a worm hole!!!

    yo, i was looking up dragon ball hoshi on google, and found this site! let me say firstly, THANK YOU!!! its about time someone did their homework! i knew from the start of the hoshi trailer video, and all the way to this article that the whole hoshi, or AF or what ever you want to call it was fake! the simple and sad truth is that dragon ball z series may be completely over. you know why? because its been over TEN YEARS since dragon ball GT ended. this hoshi thing will not , AND I MEAN WILL NOT be on any television. im 99% sure i was the first to know it was fake. i tryed to tell my friends, but they wouldnt listen, and are FINALLY starting to appologize for giving me the cold shoulder.

    if anybody wants to contact me, my psn account name is "art-inspired" and my xbox account name is "art inspired".

    plus one more super sayian transformation, and i think goku would become a black hole!

    you are a liar, i found a video of toriyama speaking about hoshi and saying it is real and will come out in 2013

    Comment by speak the truth — May 5, 2012 @ 9:42 pm

62. 

    I'm going to presume that you don't speak Japanese, because if you did you would immediately realize that the interview has nothing to do with Dragon Ball Hoshi.

    Even if you don't, it's obvious that this video is from a long, long time ago, and that it's not relevant to the series today.

    Lastly, it was posted by somebody named "xDragonballHoshi," who has posted other fake Dragon Ball Hoshi videos.

    If you were genuinely fooled by this, then please open your eyes to the obvious facts inherent in the video.

    And if you still think I'm a liar after thoroughly reading this article, then there's nothing else I can do to help you, because logic clearly doesn't work.

    Comment by gores — May 6, 2012 @ 1:08 pm

64. 

    Yeah, but it's not surprising. Everybody wants a new Dragon Ball series.

    What I think is shameful is that they've continued telling the lies for this long. I at least have some respect for the Dragon Ball AF creators because they took the time and effort to create something original. Even if the quality varies, at least they MADE something, and that's not easy to do.

    The Dragon Ball Hoshi guys add no value to the world, they only take value away.

BUT THAN AFTER SEEING OTHER LINKS AND NOTICING NOTHING MATCHED WHICH WAS THE SAME WHEN THE RUMORS FOR AF CAME OUT. I STOPPED MYSELF AND REALIZED IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. SO I GOOGLED IT AND I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS ARTICLE. AND I'M GLAD BECAUSE THE LITTLE KID INSIDE ME STARTING FEELING WARM AGAIN LOL. BUT I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. ANYWAYS MAYBE WITH EVERYTHING THEY'RE STILL PUTTING OUT AND MAKING $$$ OFF FANS WHO WANT MORE. A.T. & TOEi WILL REALIZE RIGHT NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO RELEASE A NEW SERIESTHEY'LL JUST ADD TO THEIR CASH FLOW. AND WHO KNOW IT'S GOING ON IT'S 15TH YEAR OF ENDING. ALL WE CAN DO IS HOSHii.

No matter how many t shirts, posters and figures I buy, it won't be enough to get akira off his ass. I'll cry myself to sleep tonight. Hopefully I dream of a new episode. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating or maybe I'm just in love with a masterpiece.

    If you're serious, then I'm sorry for making you cry! But far better to know the truth now then be let down even more later on when the truth became self evident.

    Given all the other comments, I wouldn't say you're over exaggerating. Seems like a LOT of people want a new Dragon Ball.

    Comment by derekpadula — May 10, 2012 @ 12:43 am

    What are the odds of a new series? Love the article by the way, I know many have already told you that but it is always nice to give credit where it's due.

    Comment by Braden — May 10, 2012 @ 3:28 am

71. 

    I'd say the odds are pretty good.

    Namco-Bandai just released their 2012 fiscal report and Dragon Ball was a top earner. Namely because of the Ultimate Tenkaichi game, but also through their Toy division, which generated a lot more revenue then they expected.

    This tells us that one of the biggest companies in Japan is STILL profiting off of Dragon Ball 15 years after the end of the series (1997). I'm sure the executives have taken notice. How much more so if they released a new series, hm?

    Off the top of my head I'm not sure how well Toei is doing, but they cancelled production on Kai because they supposedly weren't making enough in sales at the time. It's really up to them of course, since they own the license.

    If anything, I would first expect to see a Dragon Ball SD anime based on the manga. But that should be a while away since the ink is still wet on each new issue.

    Here's hoping they surprise us with something better.

    Comment by derekpadula — May 10, 2012 @ 3:51 am

72. 

    I don't think sd would sell as well. Most dragon ball fans want to see new material, what i mean by new marerial is the continuation of dragon ball z, where it left off or after dragon ball gt. if they gave the fans what they wanted everyone would be happy. Win-win. I just don't understand the hold out. I especially don't understand releasing material that doesn't add on to the story. Of course sales are low in dragon ball Kai. It's this way because the fans have already seen it. Some fans don't like the new voice overs which is acting like a deterrent. What do you think?

    Comment by Braden — May 10, 2012 @ 12:44 pm

73. 

    This is horribly depressing news, I was so looking forward to a possible new series of Dragon Ball. Do you think it is possible that they will ever make a new series of Dragon Ball?

    Comment by Daniel — May 10, 2012 @ 11:49 pm

74. 

    I still feel that if what "Episode of Bardock" said was true then he could have trained for the next 1000 or so years, staying young and fit forever, and comeback to fight his son. That would be awesome. I say 1000 or so years because 1) that is the last known time of a Legendary Super Saiyan and 2) If you looked when GT just started Goku was already in his late 60's and didn't look a day over 35. Just saiyan.

    Comment by Daniel — May 10, 2012 @ 11:55 pm

75. 

    Yeah, I would agree.

    I have a hunch the hold out is related to fear of uncertain market trends and overall corporatism. Toei thinks of their work as a business asset, not as art. They're not willing to take risks without verifiable proof that it will be lucrative.

    Now of course you'd think it would be overwhelmingly obvious that Dragon Ball is a huge money maker, yet here we stand.

    Comment by derekpadula — May 11, 2012 @ 4:06 pm

76. 

    Yes agreed. That's why I think there is another reason we haven't had new db series in so long. I'm wandering if Toei feels he can't live up to expectation. Perhaps he feels dragon ball's best days are behind them and he is at a dead end in story plot and characters. He might feel to some degree that he is writing the same things, enemy threatens lives, people die, goku goes one step higher in super sayian, then do it all over again. Funny thing is we would all still watch even if that were the case.

    But Bardock didn't attain immortality, just Super Saiyan 1, right? So why would he live for 1,000 years?

    I believe Goku was in his mid 40's at the start of GT.

    Vegeta mentions that Saiyans maintain their youthful state for longer than human beings so that they can continue fighting, but in Dragon Ball Online it's revealed that after they hit a certain age, such as around 50, they start to age rapidly and then pass away earlier than humans.

    That's the cost of working the body so hard. Nothing lasts forever. Unless you're immortal.

    My guess is that Toriyama is concerned it will never end, like One Piece. The original Dragon Ball was a long march of constant work for over a decade. He was so tired by the end of it that he's basically just done one shot manga's ever since. His last big project was Dragon Ball Online, and that took 5 years of effort. Unfortunately we don't have that in the West yet, so it seems like he hasn't done much.

    Point being, he's probably like, "Thank you, but no, I don't want to give up my life all over again."

    I was looking through my notes and found the original video that the Dragon Ball Hoshi believers keep pointing to:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf7UYj_AX6M

    It's from a V-Jump interview, and here is the translation, provided by someone on YouTube:

    Interviewer：Do you do the video game?（0:05）
    Akira：I do video game considering my age. Sometimes.(0:08)
    Interviewer：How often do you do the video games in a week?（0:15）
    Akira：It's less than one hour. （0:19） I do the difficult point with my son. But my son is more better at video game than me recently.
    Interviewer：How often do your son do the video games?（0:28）
    Akira：Everyday.（0:32）
    Interviewer：Everyday?!（0:33）

    So there you have it! No more believing the altered version of this video with the fake subtitles pasted on top, okay?

    I think there is a good story to tell about the 1st super sayian. I've been watching season two and vegitas short flash back of the 1st super Sayian looks very promising. That could be a great start to the rejuvination of dragon ball. Perhaps the creativity of the history of the 1st super sayian could spark new ideas for the continuation of dragon ball were it left off. What are your thoughts on this?

    Well that was a bit disappointing…
    What if goku was found by someone other than gohan? Can u imagine goku growing up in the city? xD

    If Goku grew up in the city it would have completely changed his entire personality! He probably would have lost his innocence and his original nature would be obscured by the modern concepts of city life. Growing up as a feral child in the wilderness was an essential component of the simplicity of his mind as an adult.

    I think it's a great idea. Lots of potential there.

    Another idea that just occurred to me would be to go into more detail on Kami's life before assuming the throne. There's a whole back story that was only shown briefly during the Saiyan Saga that talks about him leaving his home planet amid disaster, landing on earth, surviving alone in the wilderness, experiencing the violent atrocities of human war and death, and then purifying his spirit and expelling his demonic self.

    I mean, WOW. What a story! So much character development and growth. So many unanswered questions that make me wonder what his life on this planet must have been like, all the suffering he endured, the battles he fought, and the inner challenges overcome.

    Another idea pertaining to new dragon ball episodes could be the background stories of freezes and his family. How freeza became so ruthless and obtained so much power. The characters are there, freeza, cooler, king cole, and how they rose to rule the power. That could be very interesting and rejuvenate the freeza saga. Then follow up with or include the background stories of bardock, the first super sayain. They could then continue goku's story and perhaps brIng back the Sayian race through the dragon balls. Even make a broly series somehow, the dude always seems to come back. Man o man do they have possibilities to bring dragon ball to the top once more.

    I WILL LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS PREVENTING THE CREATORS OF DB TO CREATE A NEW ONE OR CONTINUE THE SERIES

    There is nothing preventing them that I know of. Toei owns the rights to the anime and can apparently do whatever they want with the series. The Episode of Bardock, for example.

    i supposed to have a meeting with my girlfriend and yet here i am reading your article and realizing i'm not alone, i miss DB, i guess Akira didn't expect heartbreaks on the other side of the world, let's keep having faith.
    By the way… im really late and Why Goku?

    Sorry you were late for your meeting! Don't want to make the girlfriend upset.

    I relate the most to Gohan because of his untapped potential and human nature, but I wish I was more like Goku because he knows exactly what he wants out of life, sets his priorities, and dedicates his entire life to that single purpose. He is a man of commitment and achievement.
