Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
This fight is going on its 15th page, and we still don't even know anything important about what happened in this universe. Come on, surely there's more in this ENTIRE UNIVERSE than just this long and boring Gohan/Krillin vs Zarbon fight?

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Super Buu would really give the z warriors enough time to fuse would he? I could only see Gogeta trying to fight Buu instead of Vegito as Gohan should have been killed or absorbed and Goten and Trunks wouldn't have had anywhere near enough time to master fusion.Hellspawn28 wrote:I believe U4 Buu was hatch as Super Buu instead of Fat Buu.

Hopefully.
Oh god please let this finish him off. He's already weakened enough, he looks like he's going to die without attention.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
This seems a bit draggged out. Don't ya agree? The pacing in this is horrible. So far the only thing I learned from this special is that Gohan in this universe rage last longer and the fact that Krillin and Gohan encounter Zarbon.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yeah, I have to admit, I'm not caring for the pace here either. Normally I'm more okay with it than most, because taking in to account how it will read when read back-to-back instead of waiting days at a time for a page, it's usually not that bad. For this one though, we've spent essentially the entire two-part special just dealing with Dodoria and Zarbon, not even showing how differently the Ginyus would figure into this, or most importantly how Goku would attempt to defeat Freeza and fail. That's what I want to see in this universe.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Is this really longer than many DBZ fights though? It seems to me like this was about the average length of a fight in the manga.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Yes this is. In fact besides MAJOR fights. But fights last about 1 - 2 chapters. Maybe 3 at best. However since this is formatted differently it seems like it's going to be FOREVER. I took a month break from the manga while I was banned. Yet we're on the same fight and I've learned nothing from this special yet.Fionordequester wrote:Is this really longer than many DBZ fights though?

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
It is. But we don't have an entire manga series to unpack all the changes from the timeline. Only like what, 20 pages?Fionordequester wrote:Is this really longer than many DBZ fights though? It seems to me like this was about the average length of a fight in the manga.
I don't mind the pacing on this one so far though, but if Zarbon would die so easily there's no way he or Vegeta would have been such threats. Look at how many attacks Vegeta tanked on earth.

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
The difference is most DBZ fights were suspenseful and we wanted them to last long when we first read them, whereas here most DBM special chapter fights have no surprises and we can't wait for them to be over.Fionordequester wrote:Is this really longer than many DBZ fights though?

That said, Krillin's Taiyoken+Kienzan combo was definitely an unexpected and interesting event.
Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Its shorter than normal fights in the manga. It has only been a few pages. It seems longer because its released one page at a time. So, once again, it has nothing to do with pacing, only to do with the release schedule.Fionordequester wrote:Is this really longer than many DBZ fights though?

He knows when doing so is a bad idea, however. That's why Goku and Gohan didn't get to fuse.Hellspawn28 wrote:Super Buu wants a good opponent to fight. He rush up to Kami's Look Out in order to fight Gotenks.miguelnuva1 wrote:

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse
Hmm...after doing a count, the fight so far has lasted for 15 pages, so...take that for what you will. Really, if nothing else, I wish the Kienzan had worked, just so Krilling could FINALLY get to do something awesome
