Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
It seems this project is over.
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I'm going to assume that Cell's cocky ass was taken completely by surprise and Bojack kills him.
Not because I particularly like Bojack or hate Cell, but because I'm tired of these boring-ass fights where you already know who's gonna win because they're the one going ZWEE ZWEE ZWEE to everything.
Also, having the four main villains of the show be the four main villains of the comic doesn't help.

You are 100% correct! The fights in this manga were very predicable and boring, because, everyone knewRocketman wrote:I'm going to assume that Cell's cocky ass was taken completely by surprise and Bojack kills him.

who would be the winner. There were infinite fights who could add excitement and drama, but the author loved the easy way out.
I'm surprised that this lasted so many time with such bad atrocious writing. No offense DBM fans.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I don't get why surprises are all of a sudden a prerequisite for good Dragon Ball material. If anything, DBM is avoiding the narrow scope that Toriyama and Toei got massive criticism for. The humans are somewhat relevant. There's a Namekian among the most powerful contestants. Goku's presence is rather subdued. There were always bigger issues in Dragon Ball than its predictability.

Krillin defeated a guy whose power is not relevant after extensive training.
Tenshinhan defeated a monkey and he was scheduled to fight Zen Buu.
C-Yamcha showed no intention to quit and a few moments later decided to give up.
That's not what i call somewhat relevant.
The idea about Gast was great.
Most fights were not competitive in this manga.

I'd say that's more relevant than sitting on the sidelines or being fodder for the next big threat.

Damn
They should get the guy who did the last special to do the art. He's really good.

I hope they can find a replacement that can be a good substitute for Gogeta Jr. Best of luck to Gogeta Jr. for whatever he has plans in the future.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Well that's...disappointing. The art for the main comic has always been really, really good, so this comes as a big shock and disappointment to me. Hope the new artist they end up finding is up to the task, he/she's gonna have some big shoes to fill.
Crap though. This was like, my main DB fan-based project I was keeping tabs on. Now I've got nothing till Kaboom's next chapter of GTR is done.
Oh geez, horrible thought...I swear to *insert deity here* if the new main artist somehow turns out to be the Bojack special's artist...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Well... damn. But even in light of the shocking news, I'd like to discuss how Bra compares to U18 Vegeta, and possibly Goku as well.
If you've been reading the novelization, you'll know that Vegeta started out acknowledging that Gohan was stronger than him and Goku, but before the tournament he claimed he could beat Gohan easily now. Typical Vegeta behavior, but I believe it has some credibility to it.
The latest chapter claims that SSJ Bra is stronger than Gohan, but it looks like it was just a mistranslation. (http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en ... er-48.html) So if Gohan is stronger than SSJ Bra and Vegeta is stronger than Gohan... Bra might refrain from using SSJ2, but even if she does it's possible that Vegeta might still be comparable to her. And of course, her lack of control could give Vegeta an advantage.
The only thing is that this implies that Vegeta has become stronger than Goku, since Goku thinks Bra surpassed him. But nonetheless, I hope this happens.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Ugh you're right, I read that chart wrong, but still, it's interesting to think that Bra hasn't totally outclassed Goku and/or Vegeta afterall. They will probably still fight later in the tournament.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
It's not so much "surprises" as it is that this is a huge tournament and most of the fights have been the same goddamn template: somewhat interesting universe gets crushed by overpowered characters we've already seen too much of in the main story.TonyTheTiger wrote:I don't get why surprises are all of a sudden a prerequisite for good Dragon Ball material.
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Well guys, let the suck fest begin. GogetaJr.s art was the one thing that kept most of the fans attention. Either Salagir finds a really good replacement or else he's fucked, because no one will keep reading this for the boring-as-fuck story, the bad writing and the slow and predictable pace.
I said it before and I'll say it again, Salagir is a pretty bad writer, he got cocky because of popularity, not realizing that it's the artwork that is attracting people. Most (if not all) of the fights and back stories are stolen from other fanfics anyway.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Honestly, if I was in Gogeta Jr's shoes...I'd have a pretty hard time being associated with the "specials" mixed in with Multiverse. Of course, we don't know what his reasons for leaving were...but if that was it, I couldn't blame him.
Sucks that he's gone from the project. Salagir's story shows a lot of love for Dragon Ball (even if the translation does its best to keep itself from the readers at times) and Gogeta Jr's art was a really complement to it.
I hope they find someone that can convey Salagir's story as good as good as Gogeta Jr. Doubt it, though. Even more so going by the "specials".

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
As long as the art doesn't look like the Bojack special and it's ridiculous Batman Piccolo, I really don't care that much. Surely I'm not the only one that is interested in the story and would still follow it even if it was only in text format...
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yeah, for instance, I would love to see more of Universe 8 or 19 or even 12/14 (at least in terms of how they handled Majin Buu)Rocketman wrote:It's not so much "surprises" as it is that this is a huge tournament and most of the fights have been the same goddamn template: somewhat interesting universe gets crushed by overpowered characters we've already seen too much of in the main story.TonyTheTiger wrote:I don't get why surprises are all of a sudden a prerequisite for good Dragon Ball material.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
I just hope that Salagir will manage to find someone good, and not someone from the specials. I don't want different takes or crappy imitations on a DB fan story that is not for laughs.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
This is really going to be tough. The U13 and Bardock specials were the closest with the art. Maybe the U1 special, too. But no matter what it won't be the same. I can imagine that a lot of people will lose interest when this starts looking more like a typical fan comic. We'll see what happens. All I know is that "The Pact" has lost a lot of it's luster if Gogeta Jr. isn't the one delivering.
