A new set of Dragon Balls are introduced in every series. DB had the originals, Z had the Namekian Balls, GT had the Black Star Balls, and Super has the Super Dragon Balls. Just following the pattern.

Aladjinn isn't a parasite like Bebi, he's an evil spirit. But it's not the first time that comparison has been made, I even poke fun at it in the manga lol

Bra isn't a fighter, she's not going to do much. Pan will be featured more in the next arc.

After the concept art of the new Saiyan character from the DBLegends mobile game was posted, I was literally bombarded by messages (25 to be exact) by people saying "The new Saiyan looks like Rigor!" and other such variations of that sentence. So, thought I'd embrace the opinion and use the art as the base to show off a front and back study of Rigor in his suit from the final set of revisions I'm working on.

It's definitely my favorite of the small number of fanfics with great art. I prefer it to Multiverse (no hate, still like DBM), because it isn't tied down by a tournament premise. This is totally subjective, but I think the developments up the point where Malik stopped are a bit more interesting too (though it's been a while and I'll need to re-read when the updates are done). The expanded cosmology contradicts what Super has now established, but I don't think Malik should work too hard to distort his story to fit Super canon. I think it can be it's own Universe, especially since its origin is an altered GT anyway. I think the addition of actually useful and powerful magic in terms of fighting makes Aladjinn a new step up than if he was just big ki guy. Rigor is the classic big ki guy, but he's like if Broli had a way more interesting backstory and wasn't just a character made for a summer DBZ movie to fill time. So yeah, more please!

Ok. Loving the manga so far. I love Rigor's backstory and regardless of how it was drawn, it looks beautiful. Now, I am confused by where this takes place in the continuity. I saw in chapter zero it is specifically made it clear this was an alternate time that came after GT as in not part of the main continuity. I like that it uses GT but acknowledges GT is an alternate story and acknowledges the universe as universe 7(DB Super reference)....But it was still supposed to be an alternate story right? Then how come Beerus is mentioned? How can Beerus exist in a series with GT? And then Super Saiyan God is mentioned?

With a minor tweak, BoG and GT are able to exist within the same continuity, which is what this story does. So...

There's a small abridged explanation in chapter zero, but a more in-depth explanation is in the "Altered History" section, which details all the changes to the timeline

Hey I just wanted to say i love your work with Dragon Ball New age and i think it's really amazing, i also wanted to ask you on your thoughts about toyotaro being able to work with a person like akira toriyama, do you think it's amazing but also pretty bad that he basically is just retelling the story of super just in different sequences.

Also do you know when there will be more chapters on your deviantart or do you upload new chapters onto a different website now and if you do can i get a link please, besides all that just out of curiosity have you ever worked with young jiji before. Either way keep up the amazing work.

Before the stuff after it, I sort of used BoG to explain why Goku became so ridiculously powerful in GT.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.
