Yeah I was just reading the comments on the latest page, and most people seemed to have loved the special, there are very few people questioning the whole thing. So, like I said, with the sheer amount of international fans who'll eat up anything... I think this will keep going and going, nobody really cares if it makes sense or not.

I lose IQ points when I read the comment page on the DBM website. I only posted on the comment section once and some guy with a King Cold avatar start flaming the shit out of me.

Being part of the translation team, I also had to mod the Portuguese version. It wasn't fun. Well, I didn't have to, but there was no one else.

It isn't so much that the special doesn't make sense. As presented, the order of events does follow a logical progression which more or less meets the "makes sense" standard. And a good chunk of the Future Timeline itself doesn't make sense even in the portions of Dragon Ball that actually rely on it. The real problem is that, despite the special technically making sense, it's contrived as all hell. It's filled with random non-sequiters like the Vegeta training and Yakkon's sister. And the resolution is based on the dumb luck that Babidi forces Dabura to sacrifice the vast majority of his power and that Buu actually dies from being hatched prematurely. There's nothing remotely clever about the solution. The universe merely contorts itself to hand Gohan the win.

I had to do it. It's far better than this special:

HISHE: The Future Majin Attack

It's better than the original. My only regret is it's a fix fic for a fan fic.

This will piss off Vegeta's fans. I personally think Vegeta would have just plotted to kill them in their sleep, or train to get stronger and take over the throne.

WTF is this shit? Is there any indication that Vegeta would cry like a bitch because he isn't the Prince anymore? Hello, Vegeta is the strongest known Saiyan on the planet at this point. Vegeta can go kick Bardock's ass! Hell Vegeta wouldn't go crying to his father of people either -_-. As if Salagir wasn't already taking this series and f***ing it in the ass, he has to go belittle my favorite character. If Vegeta loses or complains about losing, fine that's in character, but crying to daddy? WTF?

Jesus Christ guys, it's a freaking mini-comic, relax.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yeah I'm on the jet cooling side of things. It's just a mini-comic, they're meant to be funny and not to be taken seriously. I mean, I didn't find it funny but, whatever, that's besides the point.

My only gripe with it is the awkward poses, especially Vegeta, his walk is drawn as if he's a marionette. Can you see it?

Vegeta is:

A. five(?)

B. Not the strongest saiyan. The super special girl saiyan OC is. lololololol.

Anyway, even if this comic was funny (it's not) I'd still not like it due to it reminding me of the abysmal Bardock special.

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.

With the babidi special, Dragonball Multiverse has officially jumped the shark.

I think DBM jump the shark longer then that. The series is going nowhere and it been almost 5 years since this comic started.

Vegeta is still the strongest here. This minicomic in general was bull shit because King Vegeta was stronger than Bardock and Vegeta is stronger than King Vegeta. I don't think anyone on Planet Vegeta comes close to 12,000, which is Lil' Vegeta's BP IMO, except for Bardock who'm is only 9,800, IMO.

Wasn't Bardock at 10.000BP after the Dodoria incident? And was it ever officially confirmed that King Vegeta was stronger than Bardock? Does he have an actual BP reading?

Barock's power level was stated to be close to 10,000 not 10,000 on the dot. Most people have King Vegeta at a BP of 11,000 but I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed that King Vegeta had a BP higher than Bardock's. I just assume that King would be stronger than his subjects. Bardock's just a low class wonder, not the strongest Saiyan on the planet.

You are basing all that on assumptions. Who's to say that Bardock wasn't the strongest? In fact, where did Vegeta's BP came from? All we know is that Vegeta said he surpassed his father. As far as I know, the only official information we have is Bardock's Battle Power.

Yes I am basing this off assumptions but it's illogical for Bardock to be stronger than the king. He, again, is just a low-class wonder. It makes little sense for Bardock to be the strongest Saiyan on Planet Vegeta. The Vegeta family should be the strongest on the planet as far as I'm concerned. 12,000 is also just my opinion of Vegeta. Vegeta pretty much never trained so it would make sense if he didn't stray to far from 18,000.

Why would it be illogical? Goku, a low class warrior as his father was, eventually surpassed Vegeta and kept topping him at every corner. We learn that Saiyan castes don't really make much sense because it's not about what your Battle Power is when you're born, it's about the potential you have and the drive you have. Bardock was known to take on suicide missions and was moving up the ranks due to surviving a bunch of near-death encounters. If he wasn't the strongest by the time he died, he was pretty darn close to it.

At least Bardock survived a Death Ball to the face whilst King Vegeta died with a fucking uppercut.
