Well, the Monkey King is a classic trickster and troublemaker, so most of these guys being jerks to various degrees sounds normal.Polyphase Avatron wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 3:43 pm Aren't a lot of them jerks, bordering on outright villains?
Whatever inaccuracy you see can be corrected if you mention it, or if you sign on.

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
Part of the reason why I love YuYu Hakusho so much is because I can't make any direct comparisons between its characters and Dragon Ball's characters. There're bits and pieces of Gohan, Vegeta, Krillin and Piccolo spread through Kuwabara, Hiei and Kurama at best but they're all pretty much their own unique characters.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

If this extends to western comic i want to see them in Golden Age DC with the JSA where Batman and Superman hadnt take centre of that universe, or the Mister Miracle Jack Kirby lore.

Who gets told it's his fault for being so careless? Goku.
Who has to live with that similar to how he wanted to make Freeza live with the fact he'd been beaten by what he considered trash, and have to live with that shame? Goku.
Freeza got the perfect revenge.

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
You know, I had a daydream about this sort of scenario, where every adaptation of Sun Wukong in history gathers together. But like you say, it would be nearly impossible to convey because there's so damn many interpretations out there, and in just about every medium known to man to boot. Opera, literature, manga, manhwa, theatre, comic books, movies, TV series, cartoons, games. Our Goku wouldn't even stand out among the crowd of Monkey Kings.
It would be great to commission Alex Ross to do a collage painting of all the Monkey Kings together, like he did with Shazam/Captain Marvel here:

Also, had no idea DC have done a Monkey King pastiche now. I guess that brings everything full circle for the Goku vs. Superman circlejerkers.
Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
Me too. Or Yu Yu Hakusho. I'd like the Cell arc cast for it or the 23rd TB cast.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

It would be the current cast for crossover.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Super Smash Bros. I want Goku in it. I don't care what Sakurai says. (I hope he's able to take a break soon, though. He works too hard.)
Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
Sonic the Hedgehog, of course.

Any of the Yu-Gi-Oh series

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
That's a gaming series. Despite Kaiba and Vegeta getting on very well, how're the duels going to go down? Someone in DB summons Shenron or Porunga to fight the Blue Eyes White Dragon?

Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
Dragon Ball Heroes is better suited to crossover with Yu-Gi-Oh! (and that "sort of" already happened).
But yeah, it's something like that. Only that we would need to figure out if Shenlong would follow Heroes mechanics, or if they'll become magic/trap cards, following Yu-Gi-Oh! mechanics.

The Baki universe. I just want to see Yujiro interact with the Dragon Ball characters.
Re: What would you like Dragon Ball to cross-over with?
Marvel Universe, I think, would be a nice fit. Or DC too. Something where the main villain of the crossover would be strong enough to pose a threat to Goku and co. and where interactions would be cool. Superman and Goku anyone?
A cross-over with Invincible would be cool too. Omni-man interacting with Vegeta would be fun.

Couldn’t Dragon Ball reasonably crossover with just about any shonen battle manga?

The SCP universe. Goku is always looking for a challenge so why not take on arguably the most powerful beings in all of fiction that the SCP Foundation has attempted(failed) to contain?
