Zaiko (AF), the making of

Post by Goe » Wed Apr 02, 2025 6:48 am

Hi:

Yesterday I watched a video about how Zaiko was created before being used in Toyble's DBAF manga. Is in Spanish but you can use English subtitles. Subs are automatically generated and with that's happens they usually have mistakes but I have made the proof and subs seems to be very faithful to what the voice is saying. Well, here you have:

I find it very interesting to know the origins of these hoaxes. I hope it will be of interest to you too.

We old-school DB fans had the AF hoax everywhere in early 2000s. Derek Padula discovered that the origin of it all was a drawing by Tablos in Spanish magazine Hobby Consolas, and soon after that Tablos became famous among DB fans.

However... where did the rest of the AF lore come from? It's something that's unresolved, so I'm glad there are videos like this one. Hope you like it, mates.

This topic is interesting and it's good to gather the information about how the AF hoax was created by fans, so using ChatGPT or Grok (whichever was more convenient at the time), I translated the original 2001 text where Xicor/Zaiko appears from Dutch to English. That is, Kevin's original fanfic about Xicor, which started it all.

About Xicor and Boronks: The video says some things, but in the attached links about Boronks, there is no written story.

About Xicer:

Original text (English):

DBAF takes place around 120 years after the Freeza Saga. At this time Goku is off goin from planet to planet training and he comes across one planet which looks absolutely beautiful, he goes onto this planet for training and finds that all the people there look perfect, and also the gravity is 1000 times that of earths so he figures its ideal for training for a little while. He also meets this stunningly beautiful woman there who try's to seduce goku however goku resists because of his heart belonging to Chi-chi, she senses this but makes love to him in his dreams. Shortly after Goku leaves the planet and as he leaves, the planet turns into silver and it dissapears totally as well as everyone who inhabited it! Since the woman was a god and created a perfect illusion for goku she also sensed how powerful he was, she wanted to have his baby and create the ultimate being. Anyway around 120 years later she gives birth to a child named Xicer who is naturally born as a super saiya-jin 5 and is 1 year old, since he is half god and half saiya-jin he is the ultimate being however he is pretty much useless as he needs to be trained by someone great, his father obviously, Goku, so he goes off in search of his real father to be trained by him and become the greatest warrior in the universe from which his mother wants him to be. more info on DBAF 300 years ago goku ,gohan died but where considered ultimate ancestors becuase of there power levels, goten was still live and well cause him and trunks where equal strenght and granted eternal life from dendaia. They had all seven dragonballs plus the alfa ball. for a while and soon decided to wish back Goku, Gohan Vegeta Andriod 16 And Shella(trunks daughte) they do that but then a dude called boronks comes(ally like vegeta) and is angry he didnt get his wish to be the strongest ever!,so then he fights goku and goku gets pounded and was on the verge of dieing again but gotenn level 5 gets angry(as he does) and fuses with goten level 5 and creates Gotenks(the dude wid red hair) level 5(the pic is real!)and takes on boronks but also gets a pounding but eventully get the fusion earings from dendai and fuses also with gohan level 5 (the new created airings alows up to 3 fuses!) and creates hantenks-the ultimate version and gives boronks a pounding, then they take the airings off and calm down the talk to boronks and then eventually decide to become allys (boronks is still pretty dodgey!, like vegeta)

Fan fic of AF on the Japanese website dragonballmania: https://dbm.livedoor.biz/archives/18827786.html

It's in Japanese, and I will translate it into English with ChatGPT:

INTRO:
To explain it in more detail, "AF" is an abbreviation for AFTER, meaning "after the future," and refers to what happens after Dragon Ball GT.

I came across "AF" when I launched the website "Dragon Ball Mania" about two years ago. And until now, I’ve hardly touched on the subject of "AF" on the site.

However, recently something like this happened:

A certain Dragon Ball fan said: “I’m so into Dragon Ball that I’ve been collecting AF images on the internet. AF is the sequel to GT that is being broadcast in America and it’s incredibly fun! I hope they show it in Japan soon!”

Upon hearing that… what I feared most happened.

Exactly. For this person, AF has become an official continuation of Dragon Ball, along with the original series: Dragon Ball, Z, GT, and then AF, all as if it were an official part of the Dragon Ball universe.

Let me say this again: "AF" is a work made by foreign fans, completely unofficial, with no relation to the master Akira Toriyama or any official source. It should not be confused with the canon of the series.

That said, since I cannot (and don't want to) deal with it on the "Dragon Ball Mania" site, I have decided to publish it here on the blog from now on. (If taken as a "pirate" work, I think it can be enjoyed as entertainment).

Although I have been translating and sharing some of the content, it’s so absurd that, honestly, I’ve gotten lazy to keep translating it several times, so sorry if it feels a bit improvised.

By the way, many sites are sharing images saying they’re from AF, like Krillin turning into a Super Saiyan, but that’s not from AF, they’re just collages or fake edits.

Nowadays, everything is called “AF,” but many of those things are not, so don’t be fooled.
CHAPTER 1:
CHAPTER 2:
CHAPTER 3:
I’ll continue translating the rest, as it’s a bit tiring :lol:

You know there is an edit button? Besides, this should be in fan created works.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I know there is an edit button but every post can only have a limited number of characters and it was imposible to put all the info in one post. But you may be right about it should be in fanworks. If so, mods would move it, I guess
