Why did they change the regular future Gohan's SSJ hair? TO match the Cell games SSJ style?

Gohan finally learned to dodge, another well drawned page, the only thing i would nitpick, is Dabura saliva, it looked bigger in manga/anime, Babidi probably called Dabura stupid, because if he stoned Gohan, they wouldn`t get his energy.

Is there a reason why they can't use Dabra's or the other Babidi fighters ki?

Future Gohan with better speed and reflexes than Buu arc Piccolo... First he is able to dodge Dabura's punch and exchange blows with him and now is able to even avoid his spit (which Piccolo was unable to do, despite being way stronger and faster than Future Gohan). Not to mention, being able to break Dabura's hold, no matter how surprised Dabura was... That to me is bullshit.

I see what you mean but I can suspend some disbelief for this. If the fight continued any longer and Gohan was somehow able to defend himself against Dabura, yeah, I would've called total bullshit.

It is pretty bad if you look into it that deeplly, but it's in the realm of 'plausible bullshit' for me. So long as he doesn't end up winning without there being some kind of legitimate reason, I'm fine.

This. Also remember that Dabura spit on Piccolo from a distance while he spit on Gohan from point blank. And then Gohan dodged his punch (after pushing Dabura away and breaking his grip) when he shouldn't even be able to see Dabura's movements. Then after getting hit by Dabura he seems completely fine. These are not feats that even Buu Arc Piccolo (who's somewhere around Cell Games Vegeta, probably higher) managed. A weakling like Future Gohan wouldn't even be a match for Yakon. And how the hell did Gohan know to avoid the spit? Why did Dabura spit on him in the first place when he can easily knock him out with one light smack at a tiny fraction of his power? Why did Dabura just randomly become stupid and try to ruin their only viable energy source? Where is Kaioshin?

There is no way that this special can end in a way that's not complete bullshit. It's a shame, because this could've been kind of interesting if it was set around the time Future Trunks got back. Trunks still wouldn't be anywhere near a match for Dabura but there are numerous ways he could plausibly win.

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

Changing the date when Babidi arrived for no in universe reason, just so it it fits better, is bullshit on itself. Babidi arrived when Trunks was a kid, there is no reason for that to have changed in the timeline of Future Trunks.

I can't really dispute the rest, but -
RandomGuy96 wrote:And how the hell did Gohan know to avoid the spit?
He didn't 'know' to dodge it. He remarks about how petty that is for a fighter of Dabura's caliber, and so far it almost looks like he hasn't even looked down to see what it's done to Pui Pui (surely he would though, since he has to have heard the scream, since the bubble is encroaching into his panel to suggest that). So it's not a matter of him going 'Oh no, petrifying saliva! Why I'd better dodge that!', so much as it's 'Eww, gross! I can't believe someone as strong as him would resort to something like that...'

Besides, I dunno about you, but I'd sure as hell try to dodge someone's spit, bleh. :sick:

Why did Babidi come to Earth again? Because he thought he could gather energy?

To get Buu. He learned that Buu was on Earth so he came to get him. He can get energy wherever he wants, if he gets it on Earth he just saves time. If he doesn't, he can just go get somewhere else in the vast universe.

Oh. Well then, there shouldn't be one of these specials. This event simply should've been Babidi's crew showing up taking the cocoon and leaving.

Babidi precisely calls him stupid for doing that so at least this one is acknowledged (Dabura is just stupid).

Acknowledging something doesn't automatically make it better.
