This is some really great stuff, man. Your art reminds me of George Perez.

Also, I'd be eternally in your debt if you had Future Trunks and regular Trunks interacting like brothers. I love that idea. :)

Great concept here, sort of like the Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking! games where all the heroes and villains across the decades are just hanging out, entering tournaments together.

I like how the only complaint I've seen about in-universe logic, is that Broli is holding his own against Vegetto. Noone's brought up 'Vegetto is a separate entity from Goku and Vegeta'. :lol:

That is more easily explained though, could be a Goku and Vegeta from another time. Although the Broly one isn't too farfetched, he does indeed get stronger at a much faster rate than any normal Saiyan, too bad he is a baddy and destined to lose.

Holy cow, very nice. :shock:

Although, the artwork does look a bit childish in places (like when Broly's and Vegetto's fists are about to collide), and the ki balls look a bit plain and uninteresting. For example, Broly's is just round and green, with a lighter shade green inside. It needs to have this sort of... I don't know... 'jelly-like' feel to it, if you know what I mean. Do you know what I mean? :P

The shading and colouring is VERY nice, by the way.

They will both be here, but what do you mean by interacting like brothers ?
It seems to me that these 2 guys are far too different to even hang along. One is fun-spirited and spoiled, the other is taciturn and had the worst life.

Even based on the Films, this fireballl could have been far better. Will try to improve :)

Wasn't Tapion the same way though?

Yeah, kinda like that. If Trunks can make Tapion smile and be happy, I'm sure he can do the same with his other self.

Due to a lot of movitation from Gogeta Jr, we're able to show you more pages each week after all !
This begin today, with the 12th page being available in 1 hour and a half.

Do you know any other good DBZ sites where I could do some publicity ? I only know french sites...

Man, LOVE the art. Fantastic.

So far the idea seems similar to a fanfic concept I've had and never gotten to write. Huge fucking tournment featuring large amounts of characters from DB/Z pulled through time and alternate universes to duke it out. XD

Main difference being my idea is a cosmic event that occurs every few million years to determine the fate of the multi-verse.

As everyone else has said, the art work is fantastic. I'm not really one for fan manga usually, but I'm quite enjoying the story so far and you've managed to keep my attention, so well done on that front too! It's quite an interesting concept.

I'm still waiting for one of the translators here to offer to help make a Japanese version, the Japanese fans need to see this.

I still feel the same way about this as the first time I saw it.

The art is great, it's far above average, it dips in a few places, but the coloured pages are gorgeous.

But the story to me just reeks of a bad fanfic, I really can't put it any other way, it doesn't feel like a story to me, it just feels more like an excuse to get characters that otherwise couldn't interact to fight with each other.

Anyway, that said I will keep up to date, because honestly it's refreshing to see fan works of this high a standard cropping up.

Woah. I'm sure the idea of crossing universes isn't exactly new, but it's still interesting to me. Seeing just a couple of those alternate universes was as Piccolo says, "So twisted..."

I especially like how Goten and Trunks' personalities are actually kept. The idea of them goofing off and checking out the guys from the other universe seems like something I'd expect them to do. I like how Goten knew he was related to Bardock because of his face (because the hair doesn't give it away at all :roll: ). Same goes for Goku not wanting to see Bardock for the simple reason of because "he's just not [his] father to me."

So far, Uub and Pan look much better than their GT selves, too. Digging how their gis match Goku's. Goku hinting at how Uub can finally show his true power is also very much welcome.

I kinda would've liked it if the GT design for Bra was kept though (her hair in the web comic is too out there for me), shortening her height and having her dress more like her age, so she at least looks around the same age as Pan. I get that not all people the same age look the same age, but the whole thing with Bra and Pan in GT was just... meh.

The whole idea of this tournament seems cool enough. Even though it seems like a "just for fun" thing, stuff could go horribly wrong if one of the baddies were to win and get their wish(es). I wonder if that means the Kaioshin are putting up some rules to prevent stuff like that from happening.

You should make Perfect Cell VS Buu or something. Now to check out this manga...

EDIT: How can Vegito be there if Goku and Vegeta are right in front of him. : P They're Vegito! That bugs me. Fanservice I have no problem with; that's the point of this stuff, but it has to make sense. LET US CONTINUE READING. I'll list my impressions as I go.

The art is great. If you keep that up I'd read just to see all the pretty pictures.

I don't think Freeza would be so "wow'd" by the displays of power. He seems more like the type to get jealous and bitter instead. "I hope they lose," etc. Also, Fat Buu is funny.

Why would they use all that technology just to have a tournament? They're probably up to something. Also, the lack of risk actually makes it less interesting to me because then there's not as much at stake. If you know you can just come back you probably won't be as desperate if you're losing, etc.

I'd imagine people like Babidi and Freeza would just try and kill everyone and just force the wish out instead of playing by rules. But then again I suppose they have no choice if there are lots of other stronger people around. But they aren't the kind to acknowledge those kinds of facts.

It's all very interesting so far and the character interactions are what I like.

This is pretty interesting so far. As has been said before, good job keeping Trunks and Goten in character (finishing each other's sentences, wanting to be Gotenks, going away to goof off). Everyone else seems pretty well-written also, and by and large I like the art.

The Vegetto thing irked me at first, but reading on, you can safely assume it's not the Vegetto we're thinking of.

But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.
