re: it's NOT Global's fault that they can't do what Japan does; the same producers and developers who make the Japanese version of the game are the people who also make the Global version. It's THEIR fault, if anyone, that Global is worse than Japan, not the Global players'. They've made the choice to keep Global six months behind Japan despite repeated promises that they would start catching up, especially when all they would have to do is translate the material and input it into the Global game. It would literally take them a day or two of programing to include all of the features that Japan has that Global doesn't into Global itself.

This is just my 2 penny's worth.

The game developer, Akatsuki Inc., is under contract as a 3rd party game developer for BNEI. whatever they can do with the Dragon Ball franchise and Dragon Ball brand through the Dokkan Battle game, I think that, under legal circumstances (a binding legal contract), it's BNEI who has the final say in things. Plus, it is also stated clearly in-game, right at the very bottom of the Title Screen,



The game, Dokkan Battle, is the registered property of BNEI. But, the Dragon Battle characters, plot stories, etc., are the registered property of Bird Studio/Shueisha (Akira Toriyama's), and, TOEI Animation. Therefore, I think it would be fair to say that Akatsuki Inc. as the game developer, has a lot of back-and-forth things going on with different groups before the final launch of whatevers (e.g., new cards, new events, new stories, etc.)

That long delay might also be because, BNEI employs a different 3rd party contractor for the translation of the stuffs in-game. Who knows, there might be more than 3rd party contractors doing the translations, and there might even be an in-house (BNEI's) translating team. If this stands true, it will also add up to the delay. Lots of corresponding. Lots of back-and-forth things going on.

My point, I don't really think it is really (solely) Akatsuki Inc.'s fault for the delay, or any delay, or all delays that GLB players experience or have experienced or will continue to experience in the future.
