Where's my Vegeta's mom ? We have Goku's in official media, where's the one from his rival?
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

This. There is plenty of people who'd like to see those two fuse and fight against fusion of real Goku and Vegeta. Maybe even against fusion of SSJ4 and SSJ Blue to make it even more hyped. There is already a cool fanmade fight of Baby Vegetto Black and Broly SSJ4 on youtube.

My own take on Saiyajins in a fanverse.

Well, what kind of fanfiction are we talking about? I'm definitely not surprised we haven't seen Dragon Ball Mpreg Edition, but if you're just talking about the uninspired trite it has currently and variants thereof:
1. Ultra Instinct + anything else. People talk about stacking Super Saiyan on top of UI, which I feel is another chip in the narrative armor of it being a state of acute hyper-awareness achieved through mental conditioning not locked to any single species, so they might as well go whole hog in ruining it.
2. Also, just giving it to any saiyan they can sell toys of, the same way they did with Super Saiyan.
3. Super Saiyan X, where X is any number higher than 4. Frankly they might as well just turn transformations and characters into actual Pokemon cards at this point, since that's how much meaning they have now.
4. Actually putting Heroes on TV. Even though I don't want Dragon Ball to be obliterated in the face of lifeless trash, it would make them money. The fact that Super managed to be made instead of a Heroes anime shows Dragon Ball's charm is not long for this world. They're gonna do to Toriyama what Nickelodeon did to Stephen Hillenburg, I'm sure.

Well, Dragon Ball Heroes already is a card game, so that's probably why it seems that way. That's pretty much why every character (except Zoidberg Pan) gets Super Saiyan 1-4 and every episode of the anime (concurrent to every mission of the arcade game) MUST have a new transformation. I'm curious about why they seem more keen on making slight variations of transformations we already have rather than coming up with new ones wholehog, resulting in the likes of "Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker".

We still haven't seen Baby take over the body of Freeza, Cell, or even Buu. Baby Janemba was already cool as hell for being random and creative. Heck, we still haven't gotten Majin Baby Vegeta or Baby Majin Vegeta.

Things I'd want to see that haven't appeared yet:
Baby Vegito Black
Cell getting more DNA/a new form
Saiyan characters that do not have any/some of the SSJ forms getting them
Frieza getting a form similar to Cooler's final form instead of painting himself gold
Moro Saga content, like a fusion between 7-3 and Perfect Cell
Baby Vegito Black
Cell getting more DNA/a new form
Saiyan characters that do not have any/some of the SSJ forms getting them

Baby tried to infect Buu in GT but it didn't work.Hellspawn28 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:43 pm We still haven't seen Baby take over the body of Freeza, Cell, or even Buu.

No I get that, I'm just saying it's weird to me that DB's "extended universe" of alternate timeline crap (Heroes, Online, XV) pretends to have a story with meaning sometimes, so if they literally just reduced every recognizable character or power to a flat piece of cardboard, I would respect it more simply for being honest.LoganForkHands73 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 5:51 pm

I suppose one thing I haven't seen anyone say is just straight-up making actual fanfictions canon, like Multiverse. I already dislike that comic, they could throw it in with another thing I dislike and make the misguided DB product to end all misguided DB products.

Re: What popular, dumb fanfiction concepts are you surprised haven't yet been used in the Heroes sub-franchise?
Oh no worries, thanks for clearing that up, I agree. I remember that one disconnected episode of the promo anime that gave a glamorised depiction of the PvP gameplay -- no haphazard Demon Realm storyline, no faff, no BS -- and I respect that episode for just being upfront and honest about what the game is really about: your Saiyan (or whichever species) OCs have 7 vs. 7 matches between Dragon Ball characters, go nuts. Chuck Gogeta against Vegetto, Broly against Super Saiyan God Trunks, Yamcha against the Grand Priest. Just pure "kids playing with action figures" madness. Even though the anime is made for Japanese audiences who are presumably already familiar with the arcade game, it usually doesn't do a great job at explaining what the game is actually like.Shaddy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 6:58 amNo I get that, I'm just saying it's weird to me that DB's "extended universe" of alternate timeline crap (Heroes, Online, XV) pretends to have a story with meaning sometimes, so if they literally just reduced every recognizable character or power to a flat piece of cardboard, I would respect it more simply for being honest.LoganForkHands73 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 5:51 pm

I don't think it's likely Multiverse will ever get any kind of official acknowledgement but if it does, that'll be a dire day indeed.

To expand on that earlier point about the anime not always being a good representation of the game because it's not letting me edit for some reason, I will say that the game can be very funny and charming at times, more so than the storyline-focused tie-in media ever convey. Check out some of the combination meteor attacks for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJXs9ASttlc Just ignore the massive framerate drops.
Re: What popular, dumb fanfiction concepts are you surprised haven't yet been used in the Heroes sub-franchise?
I don't think you'd have to worry about that. Shuiesha has hired a few Doujinshi artists but never formally acknowledged their previous work so it's unlikely they would acknowledge a foreign fan comic. It's technically illegal so that's probably why Toyotaro never talked about his AF doujinshi in any interview and uses a different name.LoganForkHands73 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 7:25 amI don't think it's likely Multiverse will ever get any kind of official acknowledgement but if it does, that'll be a dire day indeed.
I don't mind the existence of Heroes it's basically an alternate universe and only meant for the specific audience of Japanese fans of the arcade game. It could be better but it's harmless overall. I can't really fault them if I'm going out of my way to read an unofficial translation since I recall the videos are region locked. I would be more bothered by it if it became like other video game/toy-based anime and continues for hundreds of full-length episodes but a short promotional anime is easy to ignore.

Lord, this thread just makes me want to see these ideas play out in SDBH even more.
Damn, I wish this was a weekly half-hour series.
