You can't assume something will be liked just because a few people liked it.

Except, it's more than a "few" people. And the majority of those who read it liked it.

I don't know what you're trying to prove here. You're not convincing anyone of anything. Saying that "it's not good because most people won't like it" not only cannot be proven, but it also comes across as you desperately trying to validate your opinion of his work. If you don't like it, fine. But don't say "most people won't" since all of the evidence is to the contrary.

To be fair, you also cannot say that something will be disliked just because a few people disliked it.

It may be more than a few, but it's still not a lot. This comic is still not very well known.

And what I'm saying is that not many people have been critical on the comic because not many have read it.

I was curious, where did you get the idea for the two SSJ4 grades when theres already grades for the SSJ forms?

The extra branches of SSJ were the main inspiration, but the biggest reason why I decided to do Ascensions of SSJ4 was because I disliked how completely in left field the original SSJ4 form went in comparison to the previous forms. Ascended SSJ4 is a halfway point, and True SSJ4 is what I envisioned SSJ4 should have been: a cross between SSJ3 and SSJ4. My SSJ5 form takes the hair design and power output of SSJ4, but also harkens back to the original SSJ forms by eliminating the fur on the user's body.

I see what you mean, though if I was gonna do a call back to the original forms id likely just keep the fur the and make it gold like the hair was. Also, why do the eyes go black? I dont remember any form having all black eyes.

The black eyes, just like his black lightning and crimson aura, are unique only to Rigor due to him being the Legendary Saiyan of the DBNA Timeline. The eye color, aura color, and lightning color would be normal for other Saiyans should they reach SSJ5.

All kinds of sources. The general plot for DBNA is a scribbled skeleton of ideas I jotted down in 2002. In 2005, I started the Rigor Saga. Rigor was inspired (I won't lie) by Raditz and Broly, but since then, his character has evolved a lot more. He went from being just some evil, bitter, jealous douche who just wanted to kill Vegeta out of spite, to being a tortured individual who isn't truly evil, and wants to hold Vegeta accountable for the murder of his mother.

Aladjinn, the series' second major villain, was inspired by Kid Boo at first but, again, has evolved. I draw a lot of inspiration for Aladjinn's powers from Alucard from the Hellsing series, as well as real-world djinns, which account for Aladjinn's black smokey forms, his association with shadows and darkness and ability to easily mimic other beings. Aladjinn will soon be revealed to have a connection to Boo later in the story.

Can someone make a download link with the complete thing? I'd like to give it a shot. :)
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I'm working on getting a dedicated website like DBM has. Hopefully that'll correct the issue when/ if it gets done
