Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

[KentalSSJ6]

Well...at least the art is fantastic.

I agree with Kaiserneko's post way back...if it weren't for the art...I would have quit a long time ago. Gogeta Jr was fantastic and he kept me coming back. The other's vary...but Asura is amazing as well. Just as likable as Gogeta Jr for me.

Gotta remind myself to get ahold of Asura's contact information and see if he/she is available after Multiverse.

I think they made Goku go SSj3 just to look to cool.

[KentalSSJ6]

Is it me or is Goku's pose very similar to the pose he was in when fighting Hildegarn in Wrath of The Dragon when Goku shouts "I'm still standing".

[Kamiccolo9]

I like how Vegeta just stands there. Like a boss.

[RandomGuy96]

I like how Vegeta just stands there. Like a boss.

On the outside. On the inside he's like this:



"Kakarot has Super Saiyan 3.... why can't I have Super Saiyan 3?"

[rereboy]

I might be looking to far into this but the fact that Goku keeps using level 3 makes me think he's surpassed it.

Doubtful...I'm pretty sure it was said there will be no SSJ4 and SSJ God...

I agree with the other's who say SSJ3 was overkill...I think it is...Maybe Pan could have gotten hurt...but nobody else would get hurt. No way the audience would get hurt as Broly and Vegetto barely pierced the shields in their beam clash.

Sure, but having that whole area (the balconies) destroyed would also be a nuisance. Also, Videl and Bra at least would also get hurt.

Goku didn't even use Super Saiyan 3 when all of the tournament goers, including Ultimate Gohan and SS1 Bra, were being swallowed by Majin Buu

I agree that he should have used it then.

I don't really agree. I see other fan mangas out there, and in this section, like Dragon Ball New Age, Dragon Ball S, and others, and even forgetting about art quality, I can't help but consider DBM superior to most of them. Everything must be rated with a fair and correct perspective. DBM is one of the better fan mangas out there, even not considering the art. Sure it has a bunch of flaws, but its a fan manga and we should compare it to its peers. And its very enjoyable, at least for me, one of the most enjoyable ones and definitely worth following.

I mean, which fan mangas out there are superior? Who wants to be a superhero? Definitely superior. Toyble's manga? Hmm, maybe, some stuff in there is definitely superior. What else? Dragonball Shippuden? Too early to tell, even though I enjoyed what is already available. What else? Can't think of any, even forgetting about the art. And of the ones I mentioned only Who wants to be a superhero I feel confident in saying that its definitely superior overall.

[KentalSSJ6]

Look up Dragonball EX.

Dragon Ball AF, Dragon Ball After the Future, Dragon Ball New Age, and Dragon Ball EX are better than Dragon Ball Multiverse IMO.

[Marco Polo]

Goku's hair is a bit strange in the last panel, it looks like it's his normal SSJ(2) hair but with the longer SSJ3 strands added around it very bluntly. I can't not see the SSJ(2) hair.



Still amazing art though of course.

[Saiga]

I have to agree with that, and I don't even like all of those all that much. After the Future is probably my favourite of them.

[rereboy]

Look up Dragonball EX.

I'm familiar with it, even though I didn't mention it by name. I just mentioned a few as examples.

Dragon Ball AF, Dragon Ball After the Future, Dragon Ball New Age, and Dragon Ball EX are better than Dragon Ball Multiverse IMO.

Like I said, Toyble's manga is maybe superior. Some parts are definitely superior. I just can't really decide for sure which one I find the better one overall.

The others you mentioned, sorry I just don't agree that they are superior. At all.

One other Fan Manga that would probably be superior is Dragon Ball Universe F, but the author abandoned the project very early so I can't consider it superior.

I can see the reason, I don't believe they are better by far, I like these 4 better because we see the main characters evolving and facing new threats, which is what we would have seen in the series had it continued. They all have their flaws, and all of them have ideas that I don't like, but they also have ideas that I really like. But I don't like the inconsistent art style in DBM through the main story & the specials, especially when the art isn't Toriyama-like, and there are times where I disagree with DBM's logic. Plus, the dialog doesn't always feel like something we would have heard in Dragon Ball.

But I still find DBM great.

Salagir posted:

> Use of SSJ3:
Goku used this transformation not to stop Baddack, but to stop the ki ball itself. He did so also in a way to keep all his friends around safe, by putting enough energy to absorb the impact himself instead of letting destruction comes on the sides. In order to to that, you need to use more power than the attack itself.
So there is no rule break here, Goku just acted as a wall. As it's on his balcony, it will be accepted.

I agree that a lesser transformation would have been enough, but for such a quick action, it's more efficient to just use your maximum power. Goku didn't take the time to see what was the power level of the attack and transform in an adequate manner. He masters SSJ3 well and needs it for a second. There is no reason to try lower.

And rule of cool.


> U19 special
Way down in the list of priorities. But you will learn more about them in the next flash back.

> Super Saiyan God
Non-canon in DBM.

> (did salagir forget his own idea of that ssj3 isn't something that can be mastered, because the stronger you are the shorter it lasts?)
It doesn't last long, but it's usable. Goku does master it, but don't intend to use it for hours.
Another hint was given about this: Vegeta while they were protecting themselves against Buu. Vegeta says he can go on in SSJ2 for hours. That is true and that's not possible in SSJ3.

I agree with this. But had DeadlyChestnut continued Universe F. That would have been my favorite fanfic. DBM IMO was only good for like 10 chapters. Then it just went down to average. Which isn't bad. Just....not good in my eyes.

Maybe originally Goku was suppose to be a SSj2 but Asura was told or made the decision to make GOku SSj3 at the last second. I doubt it though.

One other Fan Manga that would probably be superior is Dragon Ball Universe F, but the author abandoned the project very early so I can't consider it superior.

Not sure if you found it cause of my thread(http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... =6&t=25493) or you found it on DevianArt. But if you did find it on my thread. Turns out he had a chapter 2 . I'll be updating the thread. But yea I wished he haven't cancelled the manga after 2 chapters. Would love to see how it would turn out.

Up until Chapter 13 ended, Dragon Ball Multiverse was awesome, maybe better than the other 4 fan-mangas. The story was fun & interesting , and so were the fights. I really liked the whole Broli incident as well, his fight with Vegetto, Vegetto's awesomeness, and the fight with Boo in space. Even the specials back then were uncommon and small, and even though the 2nd Broli special was bigger than normal chapter, it was interesting and nicely drawn.

But with Chapter 14, it went downhill. We were (and still are) getting a special (or even 2 a few times) after every main chapter, and many of them are unrelated to the main story events at the time, and some of them are also not drawn in DB-style, which isn't a good thing IMO. Fan ideas that I (or logic at one point) don't agree with pop up, and the humor is also average IMO. The only interesting thing that happened since the Broli incident was when Boo went out of control, and it didn't even last long.

Had that Boo incident went on longer. I would been fucking marking out like this

I was so excited when Boo went crazy. Until Gast fucked everything up. Until then it's been boring.

I agree with these two posts.

I find your focus on the specials strange... The specials are filler, to put it bluntly. They only exist to give more time for the artist to draw and are entirely skippable since they are announced in advance and the main story is self contained, you don't need the specials at all to follow the main story.

In short, they are glorified mini-comics (that they also use to gain some time) with a relation to the story. When I think of DBM, I don't even remember the filler, AKA the specials, because I pay as much attention to them as I do towards mini-comics. The main story is what DBM really is.

And that covers most of your complains about DBM, which is rather interesting, because if you actually viewed the issue like me, then most of your complains wouldn't even exist.

There had been a previous topic dedicated to DB Universe F on this section before you made your own. That's when I discover it. When the author dropped it, the topic died.

I understand completely the role & the reasons the specials exist. But they are still a big part of the comic which can't be ignored, filler or not. Even with DBZ for example, you can't say "I love everything in it, except for the filler stuff", because filler is still part of the series no matter what. Just because they are filler doesn't mean they don't "count".

And also, the majority of my post was about the main comic, not the specials.

Yes, they can. I do it all the time. As long as its filler and its entirely skippable, if I don't like it, I just choose to ignore it. For example, Garlic Jr saga. Entirely skippable and I don't really like it. So, when I watched the anime, I would just skip it and ignore it. And when I think about the Dragon Ball anime, I don't even remember Garlic Jr saga unless something makes me remember it. And do I even think about it when I think about the worth of Dragon Ball anime? Not really. Its the filler than its right on the middle of the canon stuff and can't be skipped that can't really be ignored. Ignoring Garlic Jr saga? Incredibly easy.

In DBM its even easier, since its even clearer that its just for padding and most or all of it is of needless stuff. We can tell that its really just to give us something to look at until the main story resumes. And, unlike stuff like Garlic Jr, we know in advance when its going to start and when its going to finish. So ignoring it? I don't even pay much attention to it. In ideal conditions the specials wouldn't even exist! So, is it really fair to decrease significantly the "rating" of the fan manga because of them? I don't really think so, honestly. At most, because of the specials, if I gave DBM a 5.0, it would decrease to 4.7 or something like that.

I'm sorry, but you only refer to exclusive flaws of the main story in your last two sentences. Before that it was about the specials. The exclusive main story flaws you mention are average humor in the latest chapters, a few ideas that didn't please you and lack of interesting stuff. And I do agree with those flaws, actually. But I actually think that the other fan manga actually are worse in these areas, they are worse with the fan ideas, humor and interesting stuff, IMO.
