Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

[Marco Polo]

The title of this chapter is hilarious

Sounds like a parody Doctor Who episode title, like "The Curse of Fatal Death"

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

Salagir'd.

[Gyt Kaliba]

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

In the traditional universe he was. But maybe something happened so differently in this universe that by the time Garlic Jr. popped up, Daimao had surpassed him?

But yeah, it's just the redundancy in the title (unless it really is something about this Daimao not being as evil as we think, which...kinda disappoints me if true, honestly) that kinda makes me smirk at it a bit. It's like that anime 'The Legend of the Legendary Heroes'. I haven't seen the show in question, it may be an awesome one (I'm told it is), but just the title alone makes me shake my head and chuckle a little, because of the redundancy of it.

Anyway I can get Asura's contact info? I'd sell a leg to get him to draw for me.

[Zephyr]

Could be Garlic Sr.

You have no idea if Piccolo didn't become stronger than Garlic in that universe.

[Sebastian]

I'm pretty sure that's not actually Garlic Jr, it's just one of Piccolo's henchmen that looks like him.

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.

Nope. The title is right exactly the way it is. I was also surprised by it when I saw its name several months ago (it showed up for translation together with the one for the previous chapter). But when I read a part of it (experienced translators get access to a larger chunk of the chapter) it made it crystal clear that it isn't corruption caused by the absolute evil. Wait and see.

And that is what we were talking about earlier with the "can Gast reproduce?" problem. Every possibility is treated without the benefit of the doubt for DBM, Salagir is considered an incompetent tyrant. Just look here: there's nothing naming this character "Garlic Jr/Sr", it could be just a similar design and yet the answer is "it's Salagir's fault". I have no idea whether this is Garlic or not but I don't think that trying to imagine his whole story now and condemn Salagir on the basis of one picture is in any way appropriate.

If you're really willing to pay then you can hire him. Also getting his contact info isn't hard - did you even bother to look in the "Authors" section of DBM's site? Don't answer - the fact that you have to ask about his contact info shows that you didn't even bother to search... But here you go: Asura's webpage and his email: Picben[at]libertysurf.fr

Indeed. I even refrained myself from commenting on that once again earlier just so that I wouldn't be constantly repeating myself.

Besides, it is Toei's Garlic Jr. is stronger than Piccolo. Salagir can make his own Garlic Jr. (if that really is Garlic Jr., and not a recycled design used for a cameo) as strong as he wants, since he's said before that he will change movie characters, and has done so with Bardock, Broli, Tapion, and Dr. Raichi.

And so we've got a confirmation:

And NO it's not Garlic ^^ ( not the same color and some physical differences).
It's just a little reference to the original character.^^

Its more of a nod/cameo then.

Hmm, not going to complain, I would prefer it to be someone else, because Saligir's explanations leave a lot to be desired sometimes. Wouldn't want to hear how Garlic got under Piccolo's thrall.

Anyway, if you really MUST have only one difference, then you could relate Nail's idea or decision with the fact that Cold was still ahead of the empire somehow. Perhaps the fact that Cold remained ahead of the empire, resulted in the empire being even more powerful than he was in the main timeline (more brutal conquests), which resulted in even the Namekians knowing about it from fleeing aliens that one time landed on their planet seeking supplies while escaping from the conquest of their homeworld and that then left Namek. Such an encounter and information would give Nail and the Namekians time to consider what to do in case the same thing happened in Namek and make them more susceptible to act.

That could work but it sorta takes away from the Namek's decision to fuse being the change in that universe. It seems like a lot of effort to rewrite that universe's history just so King Cold could last a little longer against Gast. I'm one of those fans who thinks King Cold being that much stronger than Frieza and Cooler is a plothole so for me I don't see a point in doing all those changes to U7 so he could be a bigger threat than them.

I merely offered the basic idea. It could be as fleshed out as needed. In my mind it would not be a contagious disease, but rather a chronic decease that sometimes affects members of Freeza's race, usually when they reach a relative old age, kind of like Parkinson in humans. But fortunately for members of Freeza's race, the decease becomes dormant or inactive when they use suppression forms, only fully manifesting itself or becoming active in their true form. So, members of their race afflicted with that decease remain in a suppression form at all times (especially since they wouldn't become stronger even if they transformed thanks to the decease) where it poses no threat to their longevity, power and well-being, and only has harmless and minor symptoms, like slightly altered taste and decreased or increased appetite.

I think this is a good explanation. It could explain why he didn't transform against Trunks. What would be the explanation for why he's as strong as #16? Does their power increase to that level with age? I can understand him training to control his power but I don't get how he ended up that much stronger than his sons.

...really? I know it's been confirmed that it isn't Garlic Jr but I don't see it being too farfetched for King Piccolo to surpass him. They were both weaker than Raditz so King Piccolo only needs to get 5-10x stronger to surpass him.

And so we've got a confirmation:

Lame.

DBM never gets a break on this forum XP. If it was Garlic Jr then it makes no sense King Piccolo could surpass him but if it turns out to be just a similar looking character then it also sucks. If Asura redrew that page I'm afraid someone on here would find something else wrong with it like King Piccolo being too tall in comparison to Tambourine or something.

He simply is. There's also no explanation for why Freeza is as strong as he is. He just naturally is. Cold would be the same, he would just happen to be stronger than his sons.

To be honest, i don't really have that much problem with Cold extra forms, that are so strong, how many times did we see villains, that could easily destroy our heroes if they go all-out from very beginning, and instead they are so sure that just fraction of power is enough, that they can toy with them? (Vegeta, Freeza...Even Goku with Majin Buu) It make Cold stupid, yes, but it also make him DB character

It creates a plot-hole, because it is stated in the manga that Freeza was stronger than Cold in general, while DBM shows that Cold is actually stronger than Freeza.

I wonder how powerful Piccolo Daimo is in this universe? Without Goku he took over the Earth, so no one was around to stop him. He's going to get kill in one page from Gast.

Thinking about it now, he would have had to stave off at least Dabura when Babidi came to Earth, so maybe stronger than Dabura?
