Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

[Marco Polo]

I don't think there's anything specially gory or violent in this page compared to what we see in the series.

For example, out of the top of my head:

Out of the top of your head... More like the only instance you could find.

This and the Cell Jrs are the only instances where the manga was horrifically violent. You guys act like that was way more common than it actually was. Also the Cell Jrs were barely sentient creatures anyway.

The violence is coherent with how Toriyama drew Gohan wiping out the Cell Jrs.

I don't think it is. Gohan's violence was all in simple, efficient strikes and the brutality of it was just showing how much more powerful he was.

A similar thing would just be having one Makankosappo pierce Freeza. Having it blow multiple chunks of him and rip him to pieces, and display it more prominently, is quite different.

So you're saying Toriyama would never draw Freeza sliced into chunks and pieces?

Freeza didn't even bleed when he drew that

[Saiga]

Freeza being cut up by Trunks? Not displayed prominently, very little gore due to lack of blood.

Freeza cut by the Kienzan? Caused by a single attack, not unnecessary overkill.

I agree, Toriyama wouldn't draw multiple Makankosappo taking bloody chunks out of Freeza. This could have been down with one attack, which makes the violence unnecessary.

The manga has brutal moments but they're infrequent and effective. DBM is just really in-your-face with gore. A really good example is the manga showing a wide pan panel with one of Boo's victims ripped in half, DBM shows an incredibly zoomed in shot of that victim in one of their specials.

Yeah, right. I'm sure I imagined Babidi blowing a guy's head off. Super Buu entering a guy until he exploded. A whole family torn apart, with a woman having her lower half missing, outside Babidi's ship. Tenshinhan losing limbs. Kid Goku kicking the eyeballs of the head of Piccolo's minions. Piccolo Daimao' being penetrated. Piccolo Jr ripping his own arm off. Goku and Radditz being penetrated and the resulting large loss of blood, the guy that was drank by Imperfect Cell...

Surely the only instance I could find...

DBM is just really in-your-face with gore. A really good example is the manga showing a wide pan panel with one of Boo's victims ripped in half, DBM shows an incredibly zoomed in shot of that victim in one of their specials.

Even if you consider DBM to be more gory overall than the series, calling it "in-your-face with gore" is an exaggeration, at least to me. Manga in general has never been "prude" in terms of injuries and sex, nor do I see the advantages in a fan manga being that, nor do I see how it should be considered especially gory compared to any run of the mill live action TV show that depicts fights and fatalities. But that's my opinion. I didn't even think about the gore at all, it just seemed natural that being hit with those attacks would be like that. A slight scorch mark is what feels wrong to me.

What are the mechanics behind Goku & Freeza's brief mental battle where Goku's getting old inside the image fight?

[emperior]

I can't believe Multiverse made Piccolo look so fucking cool. That double Makankosappo is so good, I hope Toei will use it in the future, and as some users pointed out Piccolo implied he could do a two handed version in the manga.
This is surely a better way to give justice to the move than what happened in the Super's anime.

[TobyS]

What's your overall feeling of the good people versus the bad people. I feel like with Dabra and Freeza going down and a weaker supreme kai being stronger than Cold the good guys have this, unless Ginyu switches with the right people..

[coola]

I actually really like this mini arc, it gives everyone chance to shine

[TobyS]

Worried Cell is gonna blast Gohan badly because he got distracted...

[Marco Polo]

Ultimate Gohan must be surprisingly difficult to draw. Neither DB Super nor this fan manga seem to be able to draw a good one (his hair spikes are way too small here).

[Saiga]

Are the honoriffics normally used in the comic? I don't remember.

I also noticed that a few pages back West Kaioshin refers to South as 'South Supreme Kai', they're usually referred to as Kaioshin in this manga right?

Probably a diff translator on that page Is all.

[coola]

Huh, completely forgot about them, possible Chekov Gun that will save the day?

[FoolsGil]

I'K'L's mother looks far hotter when Asura draws her. Nice.

[jeffbr92]

Can someone give me some backstory? Who's that mother?

[TheDragonBallGuy75]

Can someone give me some backstory? Who's that mother?

She signed up her unborn son to fight in the tournament years and years ago now. She was disqualified when he wasn't born in time to fight android 17.

[TobyS]

Super Mangas treatment of the humans was so appalling it made exclusion of the U16 and U18 humans here seem damn charitable by comparison.

At least U9 are going to get more action very soon.

[coola]

Well, Majin or not, Cooler is screwed

[sintzu]

This is such a great manga, if only we could get a tournament like this in an official product.

[TobyS]

So which Piccolo (and which one had his arm blown off) and which Gohan is which? Didn't the other Piccolo and the other Gohan go to babidi. How is he free to help here?

I'm losing track.

Yeah normally in these kinds of situations there is a visual cue to know which character is which :/

For example they could have had one of the Piccolos keep his hat and cape...
