Nostalgic feelings brought forth by Dragon Ball AF?!

Post by Big Momma » Sat May 23, 2009 2:47 am

So, you have all heard of DBAF, that goes without saying. But do any of you remember reading some fake episode summaries online? I just ran across this:

http://www.myfavoritegames.com/dbaf/episodes4.aspx

Man, this brings back memories. I don't recall the summaries, though. Anyone remember reading through these? They remind me of when I would read GT summaries back in the early 00s and think they were fan-made.(Freeza AND Cell vs. Goku?! NO WAY!) Also, I remember writing my +ahem+ OWN Dragon Ball AF Episode summaries.

Anyway, just a nice little read I thought I'd bring up. :P

Wow, that was actually pretty interesting. Aside from the fact that having Majin Buu as one of the bad guys is a huge plothole if this is supposed to be post-GT, and the general weirdness of the unanswered question to "Who had sex with Goku in outer space?"; it's not that bad.


I remember seeing pictures of "ssj5" before back in the day, but my main interest back then was manga/anime summaries, scansalations, fan-comics, and fanfics. AF was pretty small on my newbie radar.

I remember reading a summary somewhere and it literally had the first 120 "episodes" of Goku vs Broly in a Tournament. With no detail either. Just "Episode 1-120: Goku fights Broly in the Tournament!"

I remember the picture of SSJ4 Gohan with glasses. Finding out that it was fake was disappointing.

Hehe, AF, that's one big chapter itself..... Here in Czech republic it was big issue among local fan-base too.... We were watching DBGT on Polish RTL 7, when lots of people were watching Freeza Saga of DBZ on German RTL II. When DBGT ended, we were all upset...... My daioly TV schedule broke and I didn't have that ''looking forward to afternoon'' anymore, so when we saw some pics on internet with Goku SSJ5 and Gohan SSJ4 (In these times I believed that even Bardock is from AF, because it was in 1999 - 2000 and we can't see the movies nor the TV specials), we went absolutely crazy. Also remember some Polish fanfictions, there is even a site in Czech which still includes Dragon Ball AF, let's see http://up-dragonball.wz.cz/dej/dbaf/dbaf.php 8)

Quoted for truth.

Also, I remember hearing in middle school that Xicor was conceived in Goku's dreams. He was flying around the universe (post-GT) searching for people to train with, and he goes to this planet made out of glass, and it's ruled by this goddess. She wanted to have a kid with Goku because it would be the strongest being, but Goku wasn't having any of it. So... she waited for him to take a nap and screwed him in his dreams, and gets pregnant IRL (wtf). Her son was supposed to be the "real" Goku Jr., and he was born full grown and SSJ5.

Ah, memories!

Urg! I really hated those in middle school. It just seems so over blown. I do enjoy Toyble's AF manga, but I just never liked the summaries. They just felt fake, as they were, and never get any joy as you all felt. Perhaps that joy you all feel now is how I feel about Toyble's works.
