Dayspring wrote:Jokes that got lost in translation:

Universe 2 crashed the tournament (in the sense that you'd crash a party). They're basically "just there," although their entire universe (probably) doesn't exist; it was never discovered by the birds, but it's best fighters decided to show up anyway. This is explained by even the announcer not knowing how that makes sense. Pure gag-manga physics: it would be funny if that were a good enough scientific explanation, therefore it is.

At the end, the first bird says "that's not how you normally introduce the fighters." So the announcer bird's comment is a joke in that even he got caught up in Mary Sue's "marysue-ness."

On a side note, the amount of bricks I shat while laughing could be used to make a house. :lol: Just the way the jokes were delivered in the original French version are much more coherent, which is where half the humor comes from. If I have time tomorrow, I'll try and translate it so that it has more flow.
I don`t believe any of those jokes was lost in the english translation. Maybe they could be more evident with better phrasing, but still... They are there, they are present and are easy enough to understand.

Seems DBAF has been copying DBM recently.

Lol in which way?

@ DBM I wonder what universe they will cover next. At first I thought it would be universe 13, which allready has its own fan manga floating around on the internet(the one called dbm anthology), but I don't know if that is what Salagir has in mind, I mean the pages have been easily available long before the revelation of this new special, so we won't see anything new.

I think they should make one about U9 that's easily the most interesting out of all the others.

He means that DBAF is also using Broly now.

I actually just saw that in the thread about DBAF, so now I understand what USSJ Future Trunks was talking about.

Not...really. Dragon Ball AF came out first, I do believe. We've also known for years that Broli would be used in the main story for Dragon Ball AF.

I'm assuming you mean with Broly... A character they had intended to be in the continuity since they first designed their AF... :roll:

You can`t really appreciate any kind of twist, can you? Why are you even reading it? Do your own fanart manga and marvel at your own plot twists instead of derailing a thread with hate commentary number 53625.

So was Kuririn and Gohan`s cheap power up in Namek. Or Piccolo`s fusion with Nail. Or the Gohan power up you just mentioned below. Or Goku`s sacred water. Nothing new. All done to quickly elevate a character where normally he/she would fail. The one character that i can think of that took his training more like a Martial Artist should, over anyone else, was Tenshinhan. And Chaotzu by proxis of connection.
TonyTheTiger wrote:What matters to me is that once again it seems like Yamcha just plain didn't have enough potential so it was the roboticizer to the rescue.
Well yeah, like nearly every single character have been. Remember when Vegeta had to ask Kuririn to blast him and Dende to heal him up? Cheap.
TonyTheTiger wrote:But even so, I'm not so upset since we get to see Yamcha being a hero.
It`s always great, but eh, nothing new either. He has always been a hero since his desert days. The difference here is that in this universe he gets to be *the* hero.

No. Tenshinhan thinks he is now stronger than Yamcha but isn't sure though considering it is been ages since both fight. Krillin is surely much, much weaker.
Ha! That would be awesome.

Holy shit. I can not believe there are not only people who do not get the joke but there are even those who are upset that there's a gag character in a Dragonball fan manga. :?

I just... do not understand people.

I think it's funny as hell, look at this comment:

"Ok, things are getting interesting but I'm not sure how I feel about Mary Sue... Guess I'll see how things unfold but I just cannot justify Mary Sue here."

People just don't get it and take it so seriously :lol:

Didn't we already have a Mary Sue character? What was her name again? Oh now I remember, it was Kat.

As someone who leafs through a lot of bad fanfiction, I can assure you, Kat was indeed a Mary Sue. Probably one intended to portray a self-insert at that.

Yeah, I think Kat was a Mary Sue and Mary Sue an in-joke about it and fan fiction in general.

The thing is, Kat wasn't all that effective and most Mary Sues are supposed to actually be able to do something beyond getting assaulted by a horny Kakarot. And we don't really know much about her outside of her using sex appeal to win fights and failing when it mattered. Being hot in and of itself isn't enough to make her a Mary Sue or a parody of one.

Yeah, no. I can assure you that Kat was not a Mary Sue in any means. She was old school Dragonball. A throw-back to Ran Fan from the 21st Budokai.

Lol in which way?
They wished Broly back and Pan and Bra become SSJs. Toyble's been reading too much DBM i think.
I wonder what universe they will cover next.
After U16? Probably U20 with Broly killing everyone. Or U9.
I think they should make one about U9 that's easily the most interesting out of all the others.
It was. Back when it was HUMANS defending earth.
You can`t really appreciate any kind of twist, can you?
I dont understand it. I hate Yamcha so that must mean I hate the entire comic? No logic there, bud. I love the comic. Just not destroying the entire attraction of U9.
Kat was a Mary Sue
She can't have been. What traits did she have? Only the impossibly pretty one and the guys being in love with her. but thats only because of her ability. Is Ranfan a mary sue because she used "strip attack"? A true Mary Sue will take over the comic and absorb Buu then kick XXI's ass single handedly, then marry Vegetto and have super babies that can turn SSJ 158475832.

I don't read DBAF, but I'd say those are just some common things that groups of DBZ fans would like to see. There are so many Broly fans out there, and I think many people have wondered "what if one/both of the female characters with Saiyajin blood went Super?" At least the latter is something that I would expect to happen in a wide range of fan comics, and, well, I don't think we should be too surprised by Broly. I mean. Especially if you're pulling from the sort-of-kind-of (in this case) canon DB universe, there are only so many villains, anyway...
But like I said, I don't read DBAF so I don't know just how similar we're talking here. Those two things just seem like they would be kind of common themes.

@ USSJ Future Trunks
Well at least Tenshinhan and Kulilin are still humans plus
SPOILER!!!!!: According to the novelization they know about Videl(who is also there at the tournament), Yamcha has a son with Bulma called Trunks(and he is not happy about Bulma supposedly having children with a Saiyan) who is also there at the tournament, Kulilin is a lot weaker than Coola, and Tenshinhan is supposedly weaker than King Cold
