V-Jump and Roadshow Scans
Dukemon and the 2ch boards posted early scans from the V-Jump and Roadshow Japanese magazines, giving us our first look at Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi, as well as more pics of Goku and Bulma.

These two scans were taken from Roadshow, which were supposed to be released July 7th.
And this one is from V-Jump.

I’m liking the fact that Master Roshi (Chow Yun Fat) has the same clothing that he wears in the anime.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Aha! Way Cool! Thanks for the update! Now if we could get a translation sometime soon… I wonder why they chose to steer clear of the facial hair on Roshi…seems like an odd thing to change. Either way, I’m loving the outfit that Chow Yun Fat it sporting as Roshi in that photo.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Oh, gee, that looks so neat. I love Roshi’s outfit, though it’s different seeing him with hair. But I do agree with Krillin, the Hawaiian print shirt rocks. It’s also neat getting a more lengthy image of the Bulma and Goku together picture.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
whats that suppose to be in Goku’s hands?
dragon ball or kamehameha?
May 20th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
They pulled off Roshi man pretty good. He’ll most likely wear sunglasses in the movie so don’t worry guys.
@Mike: It’s a dragonball dude.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
MIKE: Looks like a four star Dragonball to me.
I am Excited! XD
May 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
haha this is great I love how master roshi looks, very faithful to the show other than him not being bald. Thanx for the NEWS!
May 20th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Yup….yup……yeah………not bad…….now its almost time to reveal Piccolo!! The time is getting closer……..sigh……at least I hope so.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
That’s right. They’re being more faithful to the show than people predicted. I’m getting more and more excited with each piece of news.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Why doesn’t Bulma have Blue hair?
May 20th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Well she has a strand of blue in her hair but im not sure why its not completely blue, in my opinion its better not to have it blue because it would look kind of weird in a real movie but thats just in my opinion.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
What do you guys think about ROSHI not having a beard and having hair? I personally dont mind I think Chow yun fat looks good as Roshi with hair or not, but i want to know what you guys think about his hair and his beardless face. Also GOKU WOULD DESTROY SUPERMAN!!!!
May 20th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
@stonecipher: I agree.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
wow these new pictures are great! I really want to see Piccolo now!
May 20th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
@Dpen: I honestly believe if we can get scans from a magizne that isnt even supposed to be available until july 7, I think its only a matter of time until we will see piccolo, we just have to be patient and be grateful for the information we have now.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I knew there was more pictures from those magazines

This is great, we can finally see how Master Roshi looks in the film.
Sorry, and I don’t want to sound like a dumbass but the Dragonball in the second pic doesn’t look all that great, it’s good, but not great.
Bulma looks so freakin hott, as always.
I’m really curious to see how this is going to turn out, I just don’t have a good feeling about this anymore
I’ll bite my tongue for now, but I just can’t say I’m happy about this.
@Stryke: Dude, Goku owns every Superhero and Villain from Marvel
May 20th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
@Sean: Its ok man its your opinion.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
@stonecipher: Besides that, her hair was actually purple in the manga, not blue.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
@Sean: haha yea your right
May 20th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Woah, Chow Yun Fat looks freakin awesome!! I really dun mind that he’s not bald like in the anime. Chow looks alot sexier with the hair and whole outfit just works for him.
But im lookin at the pic with Chatwin and Rossum.. so does this mean that the poster Adam posted a while ago with the wrong date was.. REAL??? Well, now that its in better quality, it actually doesnt look too bad.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
@zanny: I guess it could have been real.
May 20th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
@Adam:
lol Well the actors dun look too bad, but the dragonball looks somewhat.. gay?? I dunno, I just hope its not, cuz if it is, they have alot of work to do
May 21st, 2008 at 12:41 am
I can assure most of you that Dragonball will look totally different in April of 2009.
May 21st, 2008 at 12:59 am
Yeh yeh yeh, NOW THATS WHAT I”M TALKING ABOUT!!!!
ADAM YOUR AWWWSOME, N SO IS YOUR SITE!!
PEACE MAN!! :D:D:D:D
May 21st, 2008 at 1:29 am
woooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
This is going to be best MOVIE EVER made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Master Roshi looks f*ckin’ alwsome
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss
May 21st, 2008 at 1:49 am
Okay I’m off to bed for the day. While I’m gone, corey wilson is in charge.
May 21st, 2008 at 1:51 am
@Stryke: Wow I am so amazed right now. I just pee’d my pants!! Wow that’s defiantly master Roshi. I forgot all about the beard Stryke. It doesn’t bother me a bit, because they pulled it off. I like that Hawaiian shirt Master Roshi has on. It’s pretty cool!! Oh yeah, I totally agree Goku will destroy superman in a heartbeat. These scans are f*Ckin alwsome!!!! Thanks Adam
May 21st, 2008 at 4:28 am
I NEED HQ SCANSS!!!!!! X_X holy cow i have to say, im a bit disappointed they took away his sunglasses and beard but what the heck this movie focuses on Goku vs PICCOLO so I can live with it :p and the Dragonball….. BOY i hope the fakeness of the Dragonball in thesecond pic is just the fault of crappy quality picture and stuff, but MAN IM ECSTATIC we got MORE AWESOME EYECANDY GOODIES for ourselves! Bulma looks so pretty too!!!!
May 21st, 2008 at 4:28 am
it looks like they photoshopped the 2 pictures of goku and just replaced the heads cuz the b
odies look the same
May 21st, 2008 at 5:36 am
Wooooooooooooooooooooooow
I liked the pics
That shirt i lve it XD
May 21st, 2008 at 5:48 am
Is he holding a..a.. DRAGONBALL!!!! Man i hope he have his tail somewhere in the movie. I don’t kare this is going to be the greatest movie everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
May 21st, 2008 at 6:21 am
not bad, not bad….
Thanks for the pictures.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:53 am
Need HQ pics! But these are very cool! I’m loveing the Bulma picture! And Master Roshi looks great!
May 21st, 2008 at 7:30 am
Duuuuuude! thats awesome. when i saw that roshi picture there i was all wide eyed. its AWESOME!! fox is really doing a great job! all we now need is a pic of piccolo.
May 21st, 2008 at 8:02 am
all kool. BUT.. Roshi needs his facial hair.
May 21st, 2008 at 8:48 am
jesus christ emy rossum is so hot !
May 21st, 2008 at 8:53 am
Is it just me, or does Master Roshi look like he is using Goku’s Power Pole?
May 21st, 2008 at 9:01 am
@ Bunbury
They probably had him just look up for the second picure.
May 21st, 2008 at 9:21 am
thatspretty cool. That new bulma pic looks like its straight from the movie. U can see rocks and stuffbehind her. Roshi looks pretty cool. And justin chatwin is awesome like always
May 21st, 2008 at 9:23 am
yeah roshi looks great. About the people that are complaining, theres no way around that. If you change one thing someone will be pissed. Change another thing to fit those people and then another range of people will be pissed.
Pretty much 0% chance to please everyone.
But anyhow, I think pics look great, Bulma looks hot as hell,like Roshi’s outfit, dont really care much for chi chi since i hated her in the anime,damn annoying.
Now just one man left…………..
Piccolo!
May 21st, 2008 at 9:25 am
I think Corey can agree with me on how awesome is it going to be when the movie is released and we get to hear the names ”Master Roshi”, ‘Bulma’, ”Goku” ”Piccolo” on the big screen for the first time. Dont know but im psyched, wether the movie is bad ass or suck ass. I’ll get pumped lol
May 21st, 2008 at 10:12 am
i hate the beardless face on master roshi… DAMN YOU FOX!!
May 21st, 2008 at 10:19 am
Corey, how much sugar do you consume per day? A couple kg?
Anyhoo, Roshi looks pretty good. I don’t mind the non-baldness but i still think he’d look better with a beard.
May 21st, 2008 at 11:03 am
That 4-star ball is obviously shooped onto the picture, probably by the magazine so the fans can relate more than to the glowing dragonball in previous pics.
Chow looks good as Roshi, can’t wait to see Piccolo.
May 21st, 2008 at 11:30 am
yeah both pics of Goku, the body is in the exact same position. Looks like the photoshoped the head and put it on the pic with bulma - and looks like they also photoshoped a dragonball straight out of the anime and stuck it in place of the glowing orb…
May 21st, 2008 at 11:31 am
wow…im really lovin this..im soooo gonna see this opening day…and im gonna get 2 DVD copies…one to collect and the other to watch religiously. ^__^
BROLY PWNS ALL!!
May 21st, 2008 at 11:34 am
hey in the second picture isn’t that the dragonball from the supposed official teaser poster we saw some time ago?It seems quite similar(makes me think photoshop).But except that i’m loving tha picture of roshi in the hawai shirt.I dont care if he has a beard of if he’s bald the only thing that maters if he portrais the character of Master Roshi right
May 21st, 2008 at 11:49 am
love the pictures, and love emmy even more
thanks adam
May 21st, 2008 at 11:50 am
goku´s hair looks even better than before, its amazing
May 21st, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Nooooo!!!! What have they done to Master Roshi!!!! Hes not Bald,Bearded and he doesnt even have his sunshades! Oh dear, This is really pissin’ me off, I wouldnt be suprised if they made Piccolo have a green flute head….Sigh, this is reallly getting out of hand, shit even the cheap Chinese Dragonball movie got Master Roshi right why can’t these guys get it right? XD
May 21st, 2008 at 12:29 pm
@Your Mom: I think he looks okay.
May 21st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Yeah that’s what i was comlaining about before, that Dragonball looks really gay. If it’s photoshop than thank God
If not, we’re in trouble, but other than that it looks pretty sweet!!!
May 21st, 2008 at 1:05 pm
They got Roshi’s look pretty good with the outfit.. so maybe he’s not bald and bearded.. as long as they make him a pervert, I’m satisfied
May 21st, 2008 at 1:36 pm
i think Corey keeps a bag of sugar with a spoon in it next to his computer, dudes always amped, but hey, hes got good reason to be, we all do. Corey, i bet if you tried hard enough, you could probably generate an energy ball in your hand, lol, just dont blow yourself up… you gotta love Coreywilson man. i think roshi looks cool to me, who cares about the hair or the beard, this version might better suit his character instead of the scrawny, bald headed, white bearded old man look. (i hope they keep the shades though) hey Stryke, i think we all agree, Goku obliterates Superman, but he might show him too much mercy… personally, id rather see Vegeta relentlessly tear apart the man of steel, piece by piece.
May 21st, 2008 at 1:53 pm
LMAO @ JAKE, thats good stuff
i like the new versions of this pic, i was wondering whether that ball of energy was just that, a ball of energy, or a dragonball; dragonball it is.
Chow yun looks like roshi to me, but to be honest i wasn’t TOO concerned about how he would look…clothing is right on, but i understand how they could have had him bald with a beard and shades……clothing is spot on though!!
ALSO LOOK AT THE WEAPON HE HAS, its the extending power pole
May 21st, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I can’t believe anyone really cares that much whether Roshi has a beard or not. O_o I could frankly care less. The Hawaiian shirt made me smile, as it’s a little homage to the Roshi from the series. I like the changes, too; they’re interesting. I’m not looking for a carbon copy of Toriyama’s silly character designs. XD
Loving Chatwin’s hair.
Can’t wait to see him in the gi from the leaked set pics, though.
Emmy Rossum looks pretty cool as Bulma, too. I’m glad they didn’t give her a crappy blue wig. XD In fact, I’d been fiddling around with the idea of film a couple of my favorite comedic moments from DB with some friends a while ago, and I remember in my notes I wrote to give Bulma light brown hair, instead of purple/blue, just like this movie is doing now, haha. Weirdddd.
May 21st, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I dont like Master Roshi’s Hair he suppost to be Bald and suppost to have Facial hair.Please…change it is horible
May 21st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
god stfu all ready. go whine somewhere else jose and the rest of the whiners and leave all the people who actually like it and want to see it in the movie alone
May 21st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
@ Jose
QFT!
May 21st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
@Josh1122
Takes One To Know One. I believe u are whining as well.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:21 pm
To put an end to all this, it’s okay to have your own opinion like: “I think so-and-so would have done better to play Goku” or “I don’t like how the Dragonballs look”. But some of you are taking it too far like: “Bulma’s hair HAS to be blue” or “Whoever approves of these pictures is not a true Dragonball fan.” When a band comes out with a new album that changes their style of music, their fans change along with them and support them. This film was not made to make YOU happy, it’s to entertain the people. Filming is already complete and there’s nothing we can do to change anything. Take it from someone who literally grew up with Dragonball since he was in diapers. Whether this film bombs or not, I will still go to see it and support it as a true DB fan. . . thank you for your time.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:27 pm
@Josh1122:
Haha I hated Chichi in the anime too, annoying as hell.
Good pics by the way.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:30 pm
@SSJ Spartan: And to add to that, there’s no way they could give you everyone what they want in this film, dumbasses
You’d have people complaining all the time then, one person wants it to be like this, another wants something different. That would fuck up the fanbase and the movie. How bout you let the professionals do it and you sit back and try to enjoy it alright
@jake: Dude that is totally how Corey is lol, no offense Corey, but if we didn’t have people like Corey then I’d be bored when reading thses comments
Your cool Corey, but your just so damn hyper sometimes lol.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:36 pm
@SSJ Spartan
well said ..even if this movie does take a bad fall i’d still support it and watch it a few times n all of u ppl shud too..jus so they make enough money to film DB*Z*, thats when things are gona get crazyy
May 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
i just hope Master Roshi still has his Personality.in other words,he looks fantastic
May 21st, 2008 at 4:32 pm
“Your Mom” this, “Your Mom” that… damn, remember when that used to be funny.. if you were my mom id slap your face off for talking like that. then just go finish watching the cheap chinese dragonball movie again, god.. sometimes i wish i was a saiyan, id instant transmission to some of these houses and Kaio-Ken x’s 3 all over some ass. after that id prop em back up and finish them off with a nice Dragonfist… sorry Adam, my emotions are getting the best of me, i need a Corey comment to cheer me up.
May 21st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
That master roshi pic looks more like G-pa gohan than anything…
May 21st, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Thats what im saying jake, just like these retards on halo when their gamertags are “your mom” just so it can say “you were killed by your mom”……freakin’ gay! Also Corey you should check out Goku vs. Superman fatality on youtube. I think its pretty similar to what would really happen.
May 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
@jake: lol! nice
@jacksterson: they actually look alike in the anime so
May 21st, 2008 at 5:06 pm
amen jake
May 21st, 2008 at 5:31 pm
@Sean: That was one of the messages I was trying to get across. If the film catered to everyone’s liking, some parts would look silly and it would totally mess up the fanbase and the movie. Thanks for clearing it up though bud.
P.S. Emmy is so hot I don’t know how anyone could complain about Bulma’s appearance. Oh my gosh she’s so freakin beautiful!!! *breaks scouter*
May 21st, 2008 at 6:07 pm
I want to know what this movies gonna be rated, look what happened to Speed Racer and its PG rating, I think it should be PG-13. An R rating would be going too far.
May 21st, 2008 at 6:09 pm
The DVD should come out with an R rated version for hardcore fans.

How could Superman win?
May 21st, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I think Goku looks great,people complain hes old, but im pretty sure there casting goku for how old he is in the Picolo Junior saga, since there going right to Z after this. People just think this is dragoball hes supposed to be a kid, but dont think about just how old goku is by the end of Dragonball.
Bulmas odd, when you look at her she doesnt resemble bulma THAT match, but at the same time it matches great, i think she looks perfect for her in that poster
As for master roshi i like him, im ok with the changes as long as they add shades
ive been looking at this site for quite awhile but never joined, just like to thank adam for his effort, i enjoy the site greatly
May 21st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Srry for the double post, but this one is WAY better

May 21st, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Jake you seriously sound like some frustrated 5-yr old, Grow up man, You ain’t a fuckin saiyan or some gay guy in halo whatever it is (Nintendo ftw) you can’t fucking instant transmission or kaio ken, so grow up and if you can’t stand my name then don’t read it nobody hating on yur name or your mother so deal it wit different strokes for different folks like I say. We all have our opinions in the end all these ppl are gonna end up in the theatre watching this till then, I say what I’ll say and we can all call it a day! Right Adam West? jk
May 21st, 2008 at 8:02 pm
ah man…. i wish i could travel 5 years into the future and just see wat happened cuz i have no idea how the movie really will be.
i hope there is good acting
May 21st, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Mr. Fat looks more like Master Roshi in Pirates of the Caribbean than he does in the actual Dragon Ball movie…weird…but expected
May 21st, 2008 at 9:06 pm
@J: Yeah I know.
May 22nd, 2008 at 12:51 am
Gotta say I’m surprised I’m okay with the lack of a beard on Roshi. Didn’t think I would be, but with that stance and the shirt he’s wearing, I can see Chow pulling it off pretty well. Not too shabby.
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 am
Sorry you guys I was gone, but I was at a Sugar Addicts Anonymous meeting. I think you guys are totally right!!s I do need help!! Im trying my best to stay away from that poison, but I can’t!!!!!!! I don’t know why I can’t get my hand away from that powder.
It keeps calling me
and Calling me, and calling me.
Wait a minute!!!!
Did you hear that?
Suger is my lover
Suger is my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been a paid advertisment from Emperor Adam
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 pm
@SSJ Spartan:
What are you talking about?!
aside from the shirt that looks NOTHING LIKE Roshi!!!
This is one case where the clothes are NOT the important thing in question.
I’m sorry, I love Roshi, and was looking forward to seeing him, but NOT like this.
Ugh. I hate hollywood so much.
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
@SSJ Spartan:
I’m going to see it too, but it doesn’t mean the child in me won’t be silently screaming in frustration.
Especially being an aspiring filmmaker, I am SO fed up at how Hollywood operates, especially in regard to adaptations - with the exception of Frank Miller and Most of what Marvel is doing.
May 23rd, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I like the chick.
May 25th, 2008 at 1:42 am
did the producers put any effort into anything besides how to make it suck? how is this in anyway faithful to the show?
fox just capitalizes off successful things by making crap. stop it now.
epic fail.
May 25th, 2008 at 11:41 am
May 25th, 2008 at 11:44 am
superman vs goku ?
May 25th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
To be serius and fair abou this, my opinion is so far this seems worth to give a chance, only thing im not crazy about is Master Roshi’s hair and no beard, and i know Chow Yun Fat would look great cuz he had the real master roshis look in Pirates of the Carebean 3, and the be honest that makes me sad cuz he woulda looked great that way, but w/e I’m still gonna give it a shot, hope they dont screw up Piccolo this way, but Goku and Bulma has potential so far…True Fans will still go see the movie, like myself.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Chow Yun Fat is a great actor, but they should have made him look more like the Master Roshi we all know and love. A Master Roshi without his mustache and beard and sunglasses really does not sit well with me.
