Chapter 273: Mystical Adventure of Romance
Toys, costumes, cover page photos, T-shirts, merchandise, music, animation, and a freakin' animated show... just how many surprises did this Comic-Con hold for them?
The crowd in attendance really felt spoiled with a lot of what was offered. Especially so on this last served combo.
Music, animation, and a show... what more could top that?!
Well, it seems that this unnamed emcee had an answer. "Of course, as some of you may have realized already. TMNT isn't the only one getting the animation show treatment. How could we miss out on the comic title that started it all?"
"It's a shame that we have to shift everything up the Great Ape toys wouldn't be able to put more emphasis on the whole thing." Emcee added. "Nevertheless, this little reveal must go on and as excited as we, from Creed, and you, Creed fans, are at these new projects... there are a lot of new territory for all of us to tread on."
"Suffice to say, it's going to be a mystical adventure for everybody involved." Emcee transitioned. "So, let's just relish on Dragonball's Mystical Adventure for what everything is going to be."

Of course, there were going to be Dragonball music videos as well... and the crowd didn't have to process it since they just focused on it with rapt attention.
That strumming of the guitar and humdrum of rhythmic instrumentals was heard.
Different from the spacey moon of TMNT, this Dragonball piece is showing the spacey sun!
As the different-starred Dragon Balls whizzed through that sizzling sun spike... the Dragonball title sequence was shown.
And the bop and lyrical song sounded after that.
[Find the Dragon Balls!Look out for them all!]
[You can search around the world with me.]
Who else is fitting to invite people other than Goku himself?! With a picturesque land and sunscape behind him.
[Gotta heed the callof magic Dragon Balls!What a great adventure this will be.]
Grandpa Gohan's 4-star Dragon Ball seemed to tempt the young Goku as he chased after them with his staff in hand.
[You can climb on board, 'cause the Nimbus doesn't wait!A fantastic journey for your dreams -- a thrilling mystery!]
Of course, Nimbus was the showcase of the next shot as the smart cloud with the riding Guko loop-de-looped the skies.
[Through the fires of time, they've waited patiently.When all seven balls you find, the Dragon is set free.Rising, rising, mesmerizing, unbridled ecstasy.]
[Radiant and shining, hidden somewhere in the field,Luminous and blinding, with your desire revealed.Ageless, timeless, what you'll find is beyond belief!]
The major characters of the first arc were showcased within those sequences and all their intentions seems to align as a flashing golden pillar with a silhouette of a dragon rose towards the cloudy skies.
The hype and mysticism of the mythical Dragon Balls were masterfully sung along those lines.
Its charm and attraction were depicted even more by the entangling of unique characters that are on the path to finding them.
[Let's try, try, try, look high and low!Search the sky and the sea below!Let's try, try, try, seize the day,And make new friends along the way!]
[Find the Dragon Balls!Look out for them all!]
[Come and hunt those Dragon Balls with me.Gotta heed the call of magic Dragon Balls!]
[What a great adventure this will be.Set a course for action, adventure doesn't wait!A fantastic journey for your dreams -- a thrilling mystery!]
With an encapsulating crescendo, the song depicted a catchy theme and the escalation of the animated scenes matched it as well!
In a mix of music and animation again, this so-called Mystical Adventure hyped up the mystical adventure that the upcoming show was going to be about!
These Creed fans couldn't hide their anticipation to see those comic panels come to life.
The excitement bubbled up in them again and they need something to be able to vent all the rush of emotions that they were feeling!
Didn't Creed know how torturous it felt to dangle this kind of treasure to people like them?!
"Haha!" Emcee can't help but find their plights to be funny. Still, before they could curse his mike-echoing laugh... he had a perfect matcher to their hypered emotions.
"With the opening theme riling up your emotions, then we'll just help you out with the closing theme."
"That balance seems to work out on the TMNT opening-closing song pair, so we'll just repeat that process." Emcee segwayed. "We have the adventure-inducing Mystical Adventure to kickstart stuff... and we have the lovely "I'll Give You Romance" to send you off!"
-----
With that little tidbit, the new song's instrumentals echoed... and the slow pace of its artistic animation seems to match it.
Unlike the Goku focus of the prior music video, it would seem that the fan-favorite Bulma was key this time around.
And unlike the forthright male singers of the first three... it would seem that a mellow voice of a girl was featured this time around.
[Be as free as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,The world is a mystery for you and me.]
[A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,The beating of your heart will see you through.]
[When you think you can't go on, give it another try.]
[The power of your youth is strong and as big as the sky.]
[Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!]
[Come on, I'll give you romance!Come on, I'll give you paradise!]
[Liberate the "you" that you keep inside.]
Oh, how that line touched a lot of repressed emotions!
[Come on, i'll give you romance!Come on, i'll give you paradise!]
[Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!]
This Dragonball closing song is essentially a mirror to everything that Mystical Adventure had highlighted.
Only this time around, it was from the perspective of Bulma.
Not the exasperating and haughtily expressive Bulma though... but the mellow and girly Bulma that she has hidden from all those that followed her story from the start.
It had to be said that Bulma always topped the Creed popularity rankings with just that blatant personality of hers.
With this unexpected reveal of how she perceives their adventures to be... her character got all the more interesting for it!
In any case, Mystical Adventure and 'I'll Give You Romance' seems to just be advocating the same journey but different views on it.
Like two sides of the same coin or maybe something more to it...
Excitement still flowed through the reeling Creed crowd but it was steadily digested while they ruminated on the artfulness that these Dragonball theme songs seem to have when combined.
An opening and closing combo indeed!
Of course, proving himself to read his audience well... Emcee gave an interesting trivia to match the thoughts that should be going through everyone's minds.
"Like our boss, Alexander Creed, has said... adventure and romance seem to just go hand in hand. Quite an interesting thought, isn't it?"
The enraptured crowd agreed to that sentiment... especially since it came from THAT man.
Although, it just made them ponder on Alexander Creed's genius.
Everything shown and presented here has come from him and it was mighty impressive how this all came from his abundant creativity.
Of course, they also wonder where the man would grow further from this... and how they themselves were looking forward to it!
Maybe it will really be a Mystical Adventure of Romance and more!
