Fanmanga - Dragon Ball New Age

That makes a lot of sense. I hope you can insert this info and have it still feel natural.

Spoiler:

Perhaps it could come in when the Kaioshin are explaining Aladjinn and Reiki and everything to Gohan and Goku.

I'm looking forward to it anyway.

Thanks It'll be natural how I introduce it. There's a lot of text revamps in Chapters 20-34

I don't know why but I'm still really curious about the role Juni will have in the story.

Though I look forward to introducing all my potential characters, I am REALLY looking forward to introducing Juni

I love the creepyness in this last scene SO much

[TheBritWriter]

The art is ok, but I have to give credit, the last few frames of that page was really well done, design and the atmospheric feel too.

Heya, Malik! As a long-time reader and fan of DBNA, I'm really curious:

Since (an altered) DBGT is canon to DBNA, how do Baby, Super No. 17 (and later Super Artificial Humans), Rigor, Aladjinn, etc. impact Trunks's timeline in DBNA's continuity (if they apply at all)?

I could see Rigor's explanation being something along the lines of Rigor confronting Trunks in his search for Vegeta, and Trunks, playing it safe, revealing that Vegeta is dead without revealing any potential connection to him (or, alternatively, Rigor learning of Vegeta's death and not traveling to Earth). However, for Aladjinn, I really can't see Trunks being able to save Earth (much less the universe), with Aladjinn eventually having his way with the entire universe, and potentially the other eleven.

Of course, for Super No. 17, I can certainly understand that detailing anything about the Super Artificial Humans could/would be spoilers.

Edit: Also, do you have any thoughts on how Hakaishin Beerus impacted Trunks's timeline (in both Toriyama-sensei's continuity and DBNA's continuity)? i.e. Briefly battling Son Gohan in search of the Super Saiyajin Goddo before getting bored and leaving Earth, learning that only two half-Saiyajin remained on Earth and going back to sleep, visiting Rigor and his family (seeing as how they're the only other Saiyajin in the known universe) in search of the Super Saiyajin Goddo, etc.

TBH, I never really think about Future Trunks. His part in the story is over, so I give little thought to how GT and NA events might have affected him. Sadly, I think if Majin Boo was released in his timeline, he would have died. Beerus probably would have gone the way you described. Baby might not have ever showed up, or if he did it would have been a long time afterwards. Super 17 and the upcoming Super Androids might not ever show up. Rigor likely would have shown up and left or never arrived as you described. Aladjinn would likely never show up as well, seeing as his only body is in the NA timeline and none of the others (this gets explained)

Thanks for the info and reply, Malik; much appreciated!

Regarding Majin Bū, I believe the Daizenshū 7 stated that, in Trunks's timeline, Bū was never released due to Earth not housing any particularly powerful warriors, aside from Trunks, so it looks like Trunks is safe if the villains of DBGT and DBNA don't give him any trouble! Sort of sounds to me like the explanation for later villains in Trunks's timeline would be that the required conditions for any villain's uprising/attack couldn't be met; I can dig it.

If I may ask another question, was there a particular inspiration behind Masuran having such different methods and reasons for training and fighting from those of his father and brothers? Such differences, along with his personality, make him arguably my favorite DBNA character, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do at the Tenka'ichi Budōkai!

Spoiler:

Also, if it isn't too spoiler-y, is there an inspiration or homage related to the white/silver color associated with Masuran's Released Super Saiyajin form? Or perhaps another factor? I completely understand if discussing it is a no-no that would spoil too much.

Edit: Sorry, one more question, Malik: Do you have any plans to depict and/or detail the more minor DBGT changes at some point in the future? i.e. Son Gohan maintaining his full potential power-up and how it affects the battles he was involved with, such as against Goten-Baby, Super No. 17, Yī Xīng Lóng, Super Yī Xīng Lóng, etc. I could see an associated change being Baby seeking Vegeta in particular, as the son of the Saiyajin king who wiped out his people, as an explanation for Baby leaving Son Gohan (a vastly more powerful host) for Vegeta (a weaker host).

As far as why Masuran is as o different from his brothers and fathet is because they are sort of your "stereotypical" Saiyan OCs, at least when it comes to Tomaran and Rigor. They both are battle hungry. Rigor fights for vengeance. Tomaran wants to fight to puff up his pride and prove that he's better than Masuran. Masuran is passive, and only wishes to test and better himself. I wanted him to really be the antithesis of what someone expects of Saiyan OCs that are not born on Earth.

In the 10th Anniversary edition of DBNA, there will be an 'Altered GT' timeline, which explains more about DBNA-GT than was explained in Chapter Zero.

Sorry if it's too much of a spoiler, but what can we expect for 10th anniversary? And when it gonna happen?

March 17, 2015 marks 10 years since the first page of DBNA was published on DA. I would like to have an animation done by then. But If not, I do plan on releasing a 10th Anniversary Volume with the following:

-Foreword by Derek Padula
-Chapter Zero
-All 14 Chapters of the Rigor Saga
-Character concepts
-Altered GT Timeline w/ art
-More Character art

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

So, you are working on animation right now and put your manga on hold?

You did a really great job making Masuran the complete opposite of the typical Saiyajin OC (or even canon Saiyajin born on Planet Vegeta), and I'm really excited to see how Masuran interacts with the likes of Son Gokū, Son Gohan, and especially Vegeta, seeing as how much Masuran has in common with Gokū. (My current prediction is a brand new friendly rivalry.) I can definitely see Vegeta and Tomaran completely hating each other, to be honest.

Certainly looking forward to the 10th Anniversary edition, and you can bet I'll be purchasing it! Thanks again for the info, Malik.

And my sincerest congratulations to you on 10 awesome years of DBNA on dA!

No. I'm actually working on both in conjunction with each other

Since you said that Heroes Legacy does not happen then could we see a sequel to New Age that happens much later on in the timeline.

[Malik_DBNA]

Actually, I've been talking with Derek Padula about writing a DBZ Sequel set about 100 years sfter Son Goku leaves with Oob (ignoring GT)

Oh? That would be interesting to see. I mean New Age is great and all, but it still follows GT which is...kinda overdone. It would be nice to read something that ignores GT...well something besides Multiverse.

And in 4 seconds...the Black DBs make sense. You see DB fan manga artist. It's not hard to make sense and do something cool.

And YAY! Goten. Just curious. Will Goten get a haircut? Like his EOZ haircut
