It was like looking at a young fan’s toybox being turned into well animated snippets. The card based video game had these little trailers associated with them, ones that seemed to become more and more outlandish and fantastical from a fan’s point of view. Eventually, down the line I realised they were trailers for a Japanese arcade game that was skyrocketing in popularity: Dragon Ball Heroes. They seemed like these wondrous pieces of fan fiction turned into real art and animation for Dragon Ball. There was often little to no context to them. For a long time, as a western Dragon Ball fan, I’d see these videos pop on on Youtube.
