Neither. The Korean magazine is starting to get the chapters Japan has already had.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

They are skipping BoG arc and start from chapter 5?
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.

Ohhh. I thought it was weird that the manga was switching from v jump!

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

How is Cabba able to transform so easily? I mean it took some intense training and TIME for Gohan to achieve said SSJ state.
Goku and F Trunks witnesses Death of their best friend/Mentor
and Vegeta was borderline frustrated and Angry
Goten and trunks were able to achieve easily because (my reasoning) their father's were already able to transform at the time of their conception, so they were literally born with it.

How the hell is Cabba able to achieve it so quickly? Remind me again what Vegeta said or did to him in that fight, was Cabba facing imminent death ??
Someone hit me up when Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu :lolno:, Goten, Buu, and Gohan :!: :!: :!: become relevant again :?

Cabba is ridiculously strong. I don't see why he'd have a hard time with SSJ. Hell if anything it's fucking ridiculous he does have more forms with how ridiculously strong he is by not being absolutely stomped by Vegeta. Dude is so ridiculously strong, it's a wonder how he got so powerful without transformations or god training.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

That's a good point.

I would love to see U6 saiyans and planet Salad
But I don't want to see a DB spinoff. Please no

I know Neko Majin was a spinoff and I haven't read it.

What would be better is another movie or special for a spinoff to expand the story but not a complete TV series

Neko Majin is just a parody, you don't have to read it. I, personally, don't give a fuck about any other Dragon Ball manga other than the main 1984-1995 one.

It may be a parody, but I still think the short stories are worth reading. Really, you don't have to read the manga but if you enjoy Toriyama's work, you're doing yourself a service if you seek out Neko Majin and all of his other short stories for no other reason but the fun of it! Enjoyment doesn't need to have a point. :P

I agree, even if it is a parody, I enjoyed reading Neko Majin, need to read Jaco sometime :think:

Yeah it pretty much trivialized everything the Z warriors struggled through when some kid who doesn't even know how powerful he is in base easily turns SSJ from a couple of empty threats from a random opponent in non life threatening tournament... Yeah.... It's especially trivial because Cabba by himself in base could take out Majin Buu, the most power entity they ever faced in all the universe with ease and HE DOESNT EVEN REALIZE IT! Shoot he could probably take literally every in the entirety of Z at the same time and if not, he could just go SSJ if he started losing and then mop the floor with everyone.

Regarding Cabba, isn't he exactly the same situation as Goten and Trunks? The difference being if he got so strong in base, I assume he didn't had a great deal of difficulties while fighting. No actual trigger for the transformation to occur.

If Vegeta and Goku got so strong, it isn't farfetched that on a whole planet of Saiyans there's a handful like them. Remember, he's one of their best warriors or he wouldn't be at the tournament.

Call about bad writting... Perhaps it is too difficult for the staff to do searches in other DB media (manga, guides, anime) so then we could have a series with coherent plot

I'm not sure if you mean what I'm suggesting or that the plot basically implies that. It's not my fault that base Cabba is casually much stronger than Majin Buu/SSJ3 Goku/Gotenks.
I understand the only thing that would make sense is a two base theory but we haven't even been graced with a @sspull explanation like that yet. Cabba could probably solo the entire Dragonball Z series in his sleep.

It is your fault. You're a writer working for Toei, aren't you? Improve your writing skills. How dare you show your face on this forum after writing the power levels in Super so poorly?

Cabba is from a different universe, the power scaled used on Universe 7 has no bussines with Universe 6.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

we had a random alien who could've solo'd entire earth + Piccolo + Goku + God at the same time too.
No one said a single thing because he was from a different planet.

Here, why should there be an issue when cabba is from a different universe?
