Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

Not only would it be sweet irony, but it will also screw him over for having a ridiculous asspull transformation like that. Seriously if he can do this already, then why the hell did he go 100% against U3 SSJ Bardock when that form burns his stamina fast?

I thought Boo granted him this form?

No he granted Cold a silver tongue on Saiyans. That's why U16 Bra accepted his "challenge" so easily despite Gohan's arguments.

She's arrogant, cocky, obnoxious, and foul-mouthed. But so was U13 Vegeta in his fight against Raichi, and he didn't seem to get piled on nearly as much when he received his much-deserved comeuppance.

I don't want to come across as a white knight on this (especially since I'm sure this topic has come up before), but I can't help but feel the hostility directed towards Bra wouldn't be quite as potent if she were a dude. Dragon Ball Z's fandom has a noticeable undercurrent of machismo in the west, and I think that can partly explain why Vegeta is widely liked and Bra (the one in Dragon Ball Multiverse, at least) is widely disliked, even though they share very similar personality traits.

Of course, the reasons Bra has been so poorly received are far more complicated to blame only on her gender, and the majority of people posting in this thread certainly have far more reasonable justifications for not liking her. But I don't think its something that can be ignored either.

On one hand, Vegeta's an already-established character who is known for being like that. Seeing Vegeta acting naturally and not batting an eye, while seeing someone's Mary Sue OC version of a character who was never like that in the series proper in a less favorable light....seems fairly reasonable to me. I think that Lunch had fairly similar personality traits to these two (arrogant, hostile, etc.), and I don't remember her being disliked within the fandom very much, if at all, despite also being female.

We don't really see Bra as anything other than a generic 4-year-old in the series... unless you're counting GT's version, who we didn't see a whole lot of either.

True, I'm just saying that what Multiverse gives us is a farcry from what little we do see of her.

TBF to Multiverse, her background isn't really similar to main Bra. Main Bra, who we do see in this comic, acts very much like her GT counterpart where she doesn't put much thought or care into things like fighting, even calling Goku and her own father meatheads.

This Bra is Vegetto's kid, a highly competitive person who raised her to be like that whereas Vegeta has no problem letting his kids live their lives the way they want. Even if it does irk him when that they don't train.

Trying to hold an alternate universe version of Bra who has a different father who raises her differently is like complaining Nolan Batman isn't acting like 89 Batman when the two exist in different realities where they have a lot of similarities to one another, but also stark differences that ultimately make them different people.

Believe me when I say I like U16 Bra, especially since she isn't a mama's girl like in U18 (what a waste of a 1/2 Saiyan). She just reminds me way too much of Gohan. I do can't help but wonder why Vegetto picked Bulma over Chi-Chi, and how the end result with the latter would be. XD

What I don't like is despite being a fusion, Vegetto in this universe is 99.9% Vegeta, and by extension so is Bra. If she showed more of Goku's kinder qualities id like her more

Gogeta was more like Goku when he got serious, no taunting or trashtalk.

Vegetto was always more Vegeta in battle.

Are we referring to Gogeta period, the movie version, or GT version?

Not that he was ever very smart to begin with .

In almost any case I'd call BS if that was the ending of the fight, but Cold is enough of a putz that I can buy it here.

I was talking about Gt Gogeta. I feel that is his normal personally as once he got what he needes from Omega he goes right for the kill.

[Regarder]

No he granted Cold a silver tongue on Saiyans. That's why U16 Bra accepted his "challenge" so easily despite Gohan's arguments.

That's all we saw him grant in dialogue, but the obvious inference that fits and allows everything to make sense is that he gave him that power-up too, so that Cold would even be able to beat a handicapped Bra in the first place.

[goku1234]

this doesn't look good at all for Bra!!

[Cetra]

Of course it does. Senzu Bean.

[ryou766]

Ass pull. I'm done.

[Scarz]

The salt mines are going to be rich!

[Dbzfan94]

Honestly where did she get that Senzu from? So much for Cold winning. Oh well

[Marco Polo]

Isn't that cheating?

[Darkron2151]

Isn't that cheating?

Sadly, no. It's only cheating if the material item comes from a direct outside source during the fight (such as a teammate tossing them a senzu from the stands). Similar to Trunks' sword, if one brings an item along with them in the ring at the beginning of the match, it is completely fine.

[Scarz]

Isn't that cheating?

I was just thinking about that. But if you're allowed to use weapons and armor during the match, I guess it's okay to use senzu beans too.

EDIT: Yeah, what Darkron2151 said.

[coola]

And she is badly damaged too, so...power up! (Despite trope haven't been used since Freeza Saga

[Marco Polo]

Mmh, it's still kinda surprising that Bra would be carrying senzu beans with her (in an outfit she didn't arrive in since Piccolo created it ). You'd think she would consider herself too strong to ever need them, not to mention too proud to use them.

[Darkron2151]

Just an idea, but after their fight outside the ring with Boo, when Gohan, Bra, and Vegetto healed up via Senzu beans, maybe she kept one in her sports bra (pun somewhat intended) or something just in case something similar happened again in the future.

[FoolsGil]

The salt mines are going to be rich!

Damn right! There is no sense to be had!

She talked during the fight, she couldn't have had them in her mouth. She fired volleys of energy balls, it wasn't in her hands. Then she got wrecked-punched in the stomach then thrashed. Unless she's been keeping them in her ass, and is even faster than we thought, how and where did she pull them?

Seems like she's been braless the whole time

[Lord Beerus]

I'm guessing Bra hid the senzu under her tongue just like that guy from that episode of Spongebob who hid pickles under his tongue.
