Yakon's power was given at about 1/4 of Buu Saga SS Goku. That is waaaaaaaaaay more than enough to roflstomp Android Arc characters.

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

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.

I'm thinking this happens when Trunks is a kid, because if it happened later (like "after" the Cell Games) then I think Gohan would be in the tournament... unless he came to life and then died again of course.

I doubt they would be able to defeat him, even together, without getting some super awesome boost. Either that, or they use Mafuba. :)
Well, they could just kill Babidi, which would free Dabra from his mind-control anyway, and then they wouldn't have to deal with him at all.

Why wouldn't they have to deal with him? He's the Demon King.

Which wouldn't make sense at all. Chronologically, Babidi arrived on Earth when Trunks was a child. In the future of future Trunks there is no reason for him to arrive later than that.
Who says Babidi has to arrive at the same time in two completely different timelines?
Nothing that Trunks altered in the past would have any impact on Babidi's decision of when to come to Earth because he was very far from Earth. So unless you believe that the time travel itself produces random changes not directly connected to the time traveler, yes he should have arrived at the same time.

I'm not saying it makes any sense for Babidi to arrive later in Trunks' timeline, I'm just saying that seems to be how most takes on this story idea have done it in the past - at least, the stuff I've seen always did it that way. So I'm kind of excited to see it play out differently here, especially if it gives us more Future Gohan to work with.

But this is DBM. Most of the Universes are caused by people deciding to do something different without impetus.

The subject was the common theories regarding Buu's and Babidi's presence in the Future Trunk's timeline.

And regarding DBM, taking into considerations the universes specified in the cover, it seems that the point of this special will be to offer an explanation to what happened in the world of Future Trunks regarding Babidi and Buu, and not so much to show us a different universe.

Even in regard to common theories Babidi doesn't have to visit Earth at the same time in every timeline. There are differences between Trunks' timeline and the main timeline that can't be explained by time travel. Also, there is a timeline where Trunks decided to use a shutdown remote instead of getting stronger, so even in the manga there is precedence for different decisions being made by the "same" characters.

F Gohan is on the cover and 18 and 17 killed Trunks in univ 14 didn't they? That being said this could take place with Trunks being 8 and Gohan being 15 and nothing would really change.

I'm still hopping for a Android and Super Saiyan team up against Dabura and then maybe Gohan can rage boost and kill Dabura.

If he can't kill the androids, there's absolutely no way he's going to scratch Yakon. Throwing in Dabura is just cruel.

Yakon's kiri reading is not indicative of anything. Have a kiri around 1/4 of Super Saiyan Goku does not mean he has a Battle Power around 1/4 of Super Saiyan Goku.

Hence my "unless you believe that the time travel itself produces random changes not directly connected to the time traveler, yes he should have arrived at the same time."

What you said about the remote is not a very good argument for this though. The reason why in certain Timelines Trunks used a remote and in other he didn't was because of Cell's interference. If it wasn't for him, even in the main timeline, they would probably end up dealing with the androids by building a remote to shut them off. But when Cell showed up from the future, there really was no other way to win besides getting stronger. So its not something that can't be explained directly by the time travelers interference.

Timelines =/= universes

Timelines "branching off as the result of time travel" become different universes, but not all universes are timelines "branching off as the result of time travel". Some are simply parallel worlds with random (quantic?) variations.

774... so I guess that's the same year of "our" Boo arc.

Wait...did Gohan just sense the Androids? *blink* Uhh...huh.

Beyond that though, the art looks good, and I'm still interested to see where they go with this.

He sensed Pui Pui or Dabura... if you look at the image he seems to be looking AT the androids now :P

I thought of that, but...hmm...doesn't seem very clear (though probably just cuz I've only got this one page at the moment), but you're probably right. That's a pretty big mistake to make, and it looks like he's floating in the air in front of the sun there, so it probably was him looking elsewhere then.

This rounder artstyle looks great. It reminds me of DB or early DBZ.

Okay, so it definitely wasn't him sensing the androids. Moving on then. :lol:
