Just because you get something for free doesn't mean you should like it.
Not saying that you should. I personally just don't feel like wasting too much time on the bad parts of a story someone makes in their free time for nothing.

You can bitch all you want. That's why I said for you to have fun. Anything else would be against my personal outlook on if a person should be allowed to bitch or not.

Some people have such nerve.
I don't really know the whole story, but from what I hear, he/she didn't trace exactly from the pages. They just copied the poses with different characters. I personally don't think anything is wrong with that. It's like they copied the form, and then drew their character design on it. I do that sometimes with my fanmanga(Granted, I don't slap the paper ont he manga and trace, I do it by eye) and I usually learn techniques from doing that.

Anyway, my story.


Goku/Vegeta Jr. decided to go look for the famous "One Piece" treasure, and came across a village called Konohagakure. Unfortunately, the village was overrun by Hallows, so Goku/Vegeta Jr. had to become Soul Reapers to destroy them. In their gratitutde, the villagers of Konoha make the two their new Hokage's.

Don't forget Gohan being an SSJ4 when that level is restricted to full-bloods only...
Actually, that's never made clear, Vegeta only says that his blood was 'tainted' when he was controlled by Baby.

Vegeta used the Namek Dragonballs to become immortal, figuring it would be better to live forever guarding the Earth than leave it in the hands of the retarded half-breeds. Also, he wouldn't have to go back to Hell if he never died.

Right, so he had to be pure-blooded, which Gohan and the other kids aren't.

Calling Toyble a 'no talent' isn't exactly accurate. He..or she? can imitate Akira Toriyama's artwork almost flawlessly without looking at a source I'm sure. I'm guessing Toyble chose to copy certain panels just to capture the entire 'feel' of Toriyama's previous work. Also, it's a fan manga, don't take it so serious. For the most part, I think that Toyble's AF manga holds a lot of potential, from what I've seen and read so far. (I'm up to page 73)

Also, it seems as though many of you are quite hostile these days...but maybe it's just me.

Nothing is ever mentioned that being part human would impede the transformation to SSj4. Vegeta's body was literally invaded by an alien being, and was, again, literally mutating because of it.

Stealing it implies one of two things:

1. He broke into Toriyama's office and physically took the drawings.
2. He is passing off copied artwork as his own.

I think you're implying the later (though that's not what 'steal' means), but fail to realize that he has no malicious intent. He posted about this specifically very early on. Something along the lines of "Yes, it's traced - I hope you can still enjoy it" and there's a picture of Gohan struggling to draw next to a computer.

So, he wasn't really a Saiyan when Baby controlled him, alright. But Gohan's not a Saiyan either.

WIN.
I'd quote that if I had room.

Because you say he's not? You're asserting something, 'non full-blooded Saiyans cannot become SSj4', but you fail to produce any proof. Do you have any actual reason to believe that having a non Saiyan parent would restrict that SSj form?

No, because his momma was a human.

You just said the proof a few posts ago. Vegeta couldn't go SSJ4 when his blood wasn't pure. Half-breeds don't have pure blood.

Except for the fact that Vegeta was still a full blood Saiya-jin. Baby was invading his body and altering it but Vegeta wasn't suddenly a half Saiya-jin. Vegeta couldn't go SSJ4 because he was infected by a parasite. Last I checked Gohan wasn't infected by a parasite.

Vegeta said his blood was tainted, and was obviously referring to Baby. He said nothing about being a hybrid. You're putting words in his mouth, he didn't say 'my blood is tainted, and I'm no more a Saiyan than Gohan, and therefore cannot become a SSj4', he just said 'my blood is tainted'. Through your logic it could also mean 'my blood is tainted, and my hair is white, and therefore cannot become a SSj4.'

Well, yeah, since pure-blood Saiyans only have black hair.

I don't see why this is so difficult to grasp. "My blood was tainted" -> Need pure blood to go SSJ4 -> Hybrids don't have pure blood. -> Hybrids can't go SSJ4.

It's that second part where you go wrong. There's nothing said about his blood being tainted by a parasite baring any resemblance with genetic markers.

[ Vegeta has a parasite > he said that was the reason he couldn't go SSj4 ]

That's all we have. By your logic we could say [ Vegeta has a parasite > he got white hair > anyone with white hair cannot become a SSj4 ]. It's completely asinine.


Let's look at other possible factors:
Gohan: half-Saiyan > known personally to go SSj2 > half-breeds known to go to SSj3.
Vegeta: full-Saiyan > known personally to go SSj2 > full-bloods known to go to SSj4.
Baby Vegeta: full-Saiyan infected with parasite > could not even transform into SSj properly.

From this we can surmise that it's not just SSj4 that is affected by Baby, but all SSj transformations. Nothing to do with how 'pure' his blood was.

Baby-Gohan, Goten, and Trunks had no problem going SSJ/SSJ2.
