“Byakugen – Get Three Hunded and Sixty Degree Vision.”
Bandai needs to get some rights for American releases and make their own action figures for us. Or, at least, the people who do DBZ-ones, or whatever.

No one wants too kiss a girl and taste a little naruto on her lips….If they really want this to be a success they should try getting some supermodels to be their spokespersons.That would win the 35+ men over
