If you're going to break international copyright laws anyway, why redraw the damn thing? Less work for you! Just reprint!

Yeah I don't understand at all, too...
Actually, they did not redraw all the episodes. That stupid redrawing starts at the Namek saga.

So does the armor imply they joined the Galactic Police from Dr Slump (seen in volume 11, 12, or 13), or that their armor is just a rip of the design?

This looks like a complete new World for me to explore. Even though I'm never going to use money for this. Not because it's a bootleg, but because it's not worth it.

Oh wow, this is just...I don't know. Did they not want to license the series so they got some schmuck to regurgitate the series except with some changes...hmmm...anything else scan-worthy?

Wow . . . Is that Adult Gohan and Uub!? And yeah, it does look like the "Galactic Police"

. Don't break the laws of space or this s*it happens!

I still can't believe that . . . looks like something out of a satirical doujinshi.

That was from the AF doujin.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Looks like it takes place post-28th Budokai, so I'd say 9-year-old to teen Uub. But yeah, that's definitely adult Gohan.
And I question the efficiency of the Galactic Police (prior to recruiting Goku and co.

) if they're normally weaker than regular humans. ^_^;

This came up a while back and it was stated that the plot of the book was that the Z-Senshi goes back in time for some reason and visits Chibi-Vegeta from the Bardock Special and flashbacks. The Battle Jackets was supposed to be the new Capsule Corp (time travel?) edition.
I have been wanting to read that manga that the above image was taken form for a while now. I wish it was online somewhere and translated.
By the way, does anyone have a picture of what the Galactic Police looks like from Dr. Slump?
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

The art of this is so incredibly ugly. It's uglyness cannot even be expressed with words...
