Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Neat fan art group shot of the characters from Dragonball Mulitverse, along with caricatures of some of the folks who work on it. Done in the style of the group shot at the end of the original manga. From Hector and BK-81. Some of the characters I have not seen before.
P.S. Can you spot all the Dragonballs in the picture? By the way, where's Waldo?

In Dragon Ball Z episode 78, there is a flash back scene with King Vegeta attacking Freeza. The latter says that this attack was the reason for the planet's destruction (Toei likes to contradict itself).
Also in the manga, Freeza says that he killed King Vegeta himself (volume 25, just before he transforms).
So we made a scene taking the best of all :
- Freeza decide to destroy the planet, then go to it.
- First, King Vegeta comes on his ship, and talks to him very harshly. He is killed.
- Then, Freeza takes the army out, Baddack show off a little, and the army and planet are destroyed by Freeza.

"We are neither his slaves nor his servants"?
Isn't "slave" and "servant" very similar things, though, to the point that saying "we are neither his slaves nor his servants" is pretty redundant?

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
King Vegeta still has the best design.
I would've had the King say "vassals" instead of servants, but there is enough of a distinction that it's not wrong.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Well I was still hoping we'd get some variety from the actual special that was worthwhile but the quote above from Salagir proves otherwise...
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yeah, I know that, but that's why I said that they were very similar. I just think that there isn't enough of a distinction between the two for him to both mention them in that particular line. He could've used another word other than "slaves" or "servants", or just said, "We are not his slaves/servants!"Rocketman wrote:Servants get paid and generally have far more freedom than slaves, but are still subordinate.Piccolo Daimao wrote:"We are neither his slaves nor his servants"?

But whatever. I'm just nitpicking, I guess.

It´s a character from the novel "La fusion de dues vies" (by Salagir), based on U16. His name is Immortel.batistabus wrote:

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Is it just me or are Toma and Bardock phasing between eye styles. This is only a small complaint as the illustrator at least doesn't have the same horribly erratic drawing style as seen in the previous pages (426-433).
Could be the person lurking in the shadows maybe?HECTOR4 wrote:It´s a character from the novel "La fusion de dues vies" (by Salagir), based on U16. His name is Immortel.batistabus wrote:

I don´t think...Immortel has his own history on the novel by Salagir. It would not be original that was it.Shoryuken wrote:Could be the person lurking in the shadows maybe?
I think the shadow of the universe 3 is Piccolo Daimaoh Sr. and the shadow of the universe 5 (XXI) is the enemy locked the Old Kaioh Shin in the Z-Sword.

I would've said "space" or "domain" or "kingdom" instead of "place".
Otherwise, poor King Vegeta. :(

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Maybe it was a language difference or something, but...
"SAIYAN'S PRIDE" came off...at least to me, as almost in the same vein of something like "O'DOYLE RULES!"
