Not sure why, but I'm getting 23rd Budokai fight, when Piccolo reversed Mafuba attack with Mafuba Kaeshi technique :)

I haven't really enjoyed this part since Piccolo entered the fight. The whole thing is too similar to Ultimate Gohan vs Evil Boo, especially Piccolo's introduction.

Sorry, that scene was just too on the nose for me. I think the biggest flaw in a lot of fan works (or even the official material at times) is when they recycle old scenes and plot ideas, and this feels more like Gohan vs Boo than anything new.

Introducing and exploring magic is definitely fresh and interesting, but the start of this fight has really soured me on it. I also think so far a lot of the magic just behaves identical to ki attacks, generic beams and barriers and whatnot.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

why isn't he using ASS4 in this fight, as it is like 4x as strong as his current form?

He probably doesn't know how to turn into SSJ4, he knows SSJ3, because Vegeta turned into one in front of him.

No. He used ASSJ4 earlier against Goku. The only reason he's SSJ3 here is because he wasn't taking Gohan or anyone seriously. The "Aladjinn explodes" teaser is probably telling us that he's going to start treating Piccolo as a real threat and go to his highest level.

Gohan arrives with powerup to save his mentor, Piccolo, and Goten + Trunks, now Piccolo arrives with powerup to save Gohan and Trunks.

It's like poetry - they rhyme! :)

But seriously, unless Aladjinn literally explodes next (which would make that teaser a bit on the nose), I assume the fight will go differently, since Aladjinn still has options left even though he's outmatched now. Boo had to escape because he was completely over matched. My prediction: Piccolo Vs Aladjinn will be more even next chapter.

An understandable parallel to draw but as long as the next stage of the fight becomes less "Look how cool x character is for beating y character like he's nothing" and become a more even, actual fight, it won't be much of an issue.
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.

Super buu also literally exploded to escape from gohan. Also, aladjinn is the real creator of buu :)

Goku & Oob knocking over a chest containing the Black Star DBs is such a simple but great change instead of having Pilaf randomly know about it. I wish I thought of that for my GT remake lol.

Yeah, it always bothered me how Pilaf somehow knew about the Black Star Dragon Balls in GT. It just felt so damn random.

Obviously, the Pilaf Gang blew two of the three wishes on some stupid crap they didn't need and spent the last one to ask Shenron if there are any other Dragon Balls around that they can use without needing to wait a year!

Well, now that the Super Dragon Balls are a thing, imagine if they somehow, someway, through some miracle/plot device got their hands on those fucking things...

That and Yamcha & Ox King save the world needs to get made into a fanfic or manga.

He sued it for letting him down. :P

Did Goku turn into a Super Saiyan 4 without getting his tail back & going Golden Oozaru? There is no mention of his training under Rou Kaioshin or him becoming an Oozaru.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
