Except nothing about RandomGuy's original post is even critical of DBM. He was just confused on Gast's dialogue/motives, and missed it already being clarified he couldn't reproduce. A very simply mistake to make and not one that even makes one think less of DBM - because even if Gast hadn't already clarified it, that only means Salagir could have potentially introduced something that should not be, not that he has.

There's absolutely no negativity or criticism there.

Except the frequency of the inclination towards the negative side. Whenever something is not clear or simply misunderstood (like it was the case) it seems that its far more likely for the assumption to be towards the negative side. In this case it was implied that such plothole or inconsistency was to be expected from DBM. It could be assumed instead that such explanation would come later, for example, but, alas, no.

Well, as Vegeta is right now, he should not be a threat to Freeza 2nd form. So no wonder he is dissapointed.

Not sure I buy Vegeta unlocking super saiyan by fighting the Ginyu Force. What could have happened in this fight that didn't happen when he was getting his ass kicked by Recoome in the main timeline? Still one of the better specials though.

You have no idea what happened in those 4 months.

Not enough for who? Gast? He should be absolutely nothing compared to even Freeza if the Ginyus pushed him that far before SS.

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

A more interesting twist would have been Ginyu taking Vegeta's body after he went super. Karma and all that. but whatever. Onwards to another Vegeta getting karma, and I definitely hope Picardi could be hired again to do another special.

Why is the line art so thin in the second and last panels? It's very distracting.

This is probably the best page in the entire special, which isn't a bad thing at all. It's just that awesome to me.

Definitely not a bad special....but still boring. Can we get another special with interesting backstory and an actual threat. Maybe something about XXI, the Ginyu subplot, the Hellions struggles...something like that.

Art style is fantastic for what it was, but I didn't like it since it didn't feel dragon ball like. Glad I didn't follow the comic page by page. Made me not care as much.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

OH MY GOD IT'S SUPER GARLIC JR.

No Cymbal, I see. Weird, as s/he drew like four Tambourines.

It'll be interesting to see how Garlic Jr. ties into all this. But...'Corruption of the Absolute Evil'? How do you corrupt that? :lol:

By introducing good?

Anyway, Garlic Jr probably showed up and either pledged loyalty to Daimao after he somehow beat Kami, or teamed up with Daimao to get rid of Kami (Dead Zone?), and joined together after because they're demons. The question is how and when Daimao got stronger than Garlic Jr.

Or that's not supposed to be Garlic Jr.

I think it's a passive voice problem. The title is probably meant to be corruption caused by the absolute evil. Or the absolute evil's corruption.

To me, the title sounds a bit Engrish-y.
I checked the French title, and it's a direct translation (Corruption du mal absolu), and so are both Spanish versions (La corrupción del mal absoluto).

All of them sound like it's the absolute evil which is corrupted. Weird... Maybe this Daimao isn't as evil as he looks like?

Garlic Jr is stronger than King Piccolo, why would he serve him?
