I can't believe that a panel or two that are pretty much equal to a panel of the original manga originated this much discussion... All this page did was show a close up of that panel or a close up of a version of that panel. How is that stepping out of Dragon Ball boundaries..? :wtf:. Especially when Dragon Ball, in that same saga, gives the original inspiration for this panel, as well as panels of human heads exploding due to magic and old people getting shot dead in cold blood (in the head!).

I mean, the original panel that serves as the inspiration for this clearly shows a dead woman split in half by her waist (and there even seems to be some guts drawn leaking out of her but that's debatable since the drawing is small), a dead man with his blood leaking out and with a severed hand and, finally, a dead kid. How is a close up of that, which doesn't even show guts or anything that gory, out of DB's boundaries...? :|

I'm far more preoccupied with how they will deal the situation and Gohan's power.

(Btw, even more unbelievable to me, is having a problem with the size of the dead woman's boobs... I don't even know how to comment that... I mean, if the boobs were actually abnormally large, I guess I could see the point in having a problem with that, since it would mean that the artist would have made her boobs abnormally large deliberately and went out of his way to make them like that... But that's not the case here at all).

Well that is unnecessarily gory.

Almost every female in DBZ is either as top heavy or more then that girl right there and if you think that's bad has anyone ever read the Bleach manga.

Other then it being a girl, Goku had the same wound in DBZ and Frieza and Cell were both cut in half.

I won't mention Buu but him as well.

The sight of women and children being brutally massacred is much more unsettling than a space alien being done in the same way.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

You mean a spacist?

I'll shut up now.

All I'm saying that the panel detracted a significant bit from the tone of original series (which is fine for fan work; I just think we've all come to expect that Multiverse wouldn't do that). The difference between this and the original inspiration is that Toriyama's depiction was way more subtle while this one is basically in your face.

The former of which really is kind of easy to miss the first time reading. I didn't even know about that panel until I heard it being mentioned in a Manga Review of Awesomeness.

In your face like a old lady getting explicitly shot in the head in cold blood? Like a man's head literally exploding? I honestly can't see significant differences between that and this. The only difference is basically the size of the panel (comparing it to the original).

Thanks for posting. I think that's much better than having a close up of it, if they had just left it at the last panel it'd be great.

Nor better, IMO (in terms of gore).

I just find it funny that THE PACT got shot down for not being in the DBZ spirit yet we've gotten numerous specials that involve extremely brutal violence without even the hint of a discretion shot. If Salagir wants to include a close up shot of a woman cut in half and a little girl with a gaping chest wound so be it. But in exchange I want the goddamn PACT.

I refuse to give up on the pact. The pact lives! IT LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS AND SOULS.

Oh yeah, and new page.

So Dabura definitely is a thing still - can't help but wonder how Gohan's gonna end up managing to take him down...

He won't. He would need Mystic or Ssj4.

IDK Gohan didn't survive the androids so I don't think a rage boost or plot will save the future Gohan.

I want Future Gohan to get his potential unlocked like he did in Shin Budokai 2. Though those odds are slim to none.

A rage boost along with Ssj2 wouldn't even bring him #16's level.

Don't underestimate the power of the rage boost plot point. I treat them like Zenkai's. They both can change from low to ridiculously high increases.

Anything that could threaten Dabura would destroy the androids.

Gohan once got a rage bost that was a 1307x increase I doubt that CG Goku is 1000x Namek Goku especially according to saligar's rules where Frieza>base saiyans.

Gohan gets a rage boost here and then never again losing to the Androids.

Or Gohan and the Andorids set aside their differences and are some how able to beat Dabura.
