Roshi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jpTWOj22DQ

[Sora Saiyan]

This special seems a bit dark at the moment. Being serious though, I do quite like this special chapter, but I really want to see what's going to happen at the end.

[Lord Beerus]

Talk about an off screen moment of awesome.

[SaiyanKingMike]

Hmm wonder if Goku will be knocked out and Roshi and krillien bring him to kame house to heal and gains a genki and kill them then or some how beat roshi here..

[TheGmGoken]

What if it was Goku doing the kamehameha? And that's why it went out the cave

[Zephyr]

Why would Goku know how to do the Kamehameha?

[TheGmGoken]

Why would Goku know how to do the Kamehameha?

He mimicked it after Roshi did it on a smaller scale off screen?

[Tzigi]

By the way, a news straight from the DBM site:

Asura is back on a special, before the tournament
Due to a few personal imperatives, we are a little behind schedule on the next chapter of the tournament. Don't worry, we are still working hard on it! But we need a little more time. So, the next DBM chapter will be another special. You miss Asura? Rest assured, he drew it
Next, we will follow the adventures of Gokû and his friends when Coola lands on Earth.

Two side-notes here:
1. It's about universe 18 (confirmed by Salagir's colaborator Thibarik on fb): "English : Asura is back, for 2 chapter : a special chapter about Coola in univers 18, and a tournament chapter."
2. It's the first chapter ever drawn by Asura for DBM and it's of a standard length (confirmed by Asura himself in the English comment section): "For the special, it's usual length (unfortunatly ^^). (...) Well, in fact this special chapter was the first i drew for DBM ^^. It's only after it than i started the Baddack/cold fight in the main story. "

Cool, so we'll get to see, what happened to main universe Cooler(hope it's not exactly the same as movie 5).

[FoolsGil]

Meh. imho, RoC wasn't bad enough to warrant a retelling.

[coola]

Well, umm..power levels are bull.hit?

[Lord Beerus]

Dayum.

What a twist.

[SaiyanKingMike]

I know Roshi was gonna die but i thought it be a bit more epic lol, Kakarot got lucky roshi smacked his head in the cave. I do wonder though if while roshi was firing the Kamehameha, what Kakarot did to avoid it, since they are in a narrow cave

[Marco Polo]

Krillin should go search for the Dragon Balls to revive Roshi.

[ParkerAL]

Wait... what happened between the Kamehameha and Kakarot dragging a dead Roshi out of the cave? Did Roshi just keel over immediately after firing it off? And are we supposed to believe he died because he kept hitting his head on the cave ceiling over and over again? That's... pretty anticlimactic. The art for this chapter was top-notch, but I guess it wouldn't be a Dragon Ball Multiverse Special if it didn't stretch credulity a little bit. Small issues aside, it was a really fun read from start to finish!

I look forward to seeing how DBM retells Cooler's attack on Earth, though honestly the only major discrepancy that kept the movie from fitting neatly within the canonical timeline was Gohan still having his Namek haircut and the unaccounted presence of his tail.

[coola]

Unfortunately, it seems that Roshi died /passed out not too long after hitting cave ceiling, maybe that part had sharp part? Art was really wonderful, and overall, i liked dark tone of it. And lesson for future, unless you are Goku, showing mercy never ends well.

[ParkerAL]

Roshi's cranium has survived worse.

Spoiler:

[Fionordequester]

Ok, so for those questioning these turn of events...personally, I think it's pretty believable. I mean, ok, Roshi survives Chi-Chi's tomahawk to the end, but that doesn't mean anything. Dragon Ball was still kind of steeped inside gag manga logic at that point, same as it was when Goku went into outer space with his Power Pole. So I'm not sure you can count that.

And as for whether or not bumping his head would be enough to doom him? Makes sense to me, and it's just about the only way Goku's going to actually win against him. Head injuries are not something you can normally just shake off. They can affect your vision (hence, seeing stars), they can cause you to lose muscle control and co-ordination, and of course, they can be fatal. Which is also probably the reason Roshi's Kamehameha wasn't enough to destroy Goku. He was weakened to the point where it wasn't nearly as potent as it would have been.

That's my thoughts on all this at least.

[TonyTheTiger]

It's just a bit too rushed. It wasn't really necessary to squeeze in Kakarot killing Roshi this early. Had the encounters dragged out for longer then it would have been more reasonable for an older Kakarot to eventually win and even give more credibility to his apparent remorse over killing Krillin. At this point it seems like the 10 minute friendship is over. I would have probably preferred an ongoing strained relationship between the two with Kakarot being seriously conflicted over his mission vs. his friend, which would also provide a better reason for his general instability as an adult.

[ekrolo2]

I feel like Salagir could solve a lot of his pacing problems if this series was only in writen form, the necessity to draw it all likely forces him to rush through things instead of giving them time to breathe. I wouldn't be as popular as it is but with a good translator I think it would still become a fairly well know fan fic based on its premise alone.
