Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

[testing223]

With how popular DBM is, I wonder if Akira Toriyama has heard of it or checked it out, at all.

Seeing that he is over 50 years old, I doubt he is going to have the time to read some fan manga. He has other things in his life to do then care about fan art.

At that age, he should have considerably less to do. He's retired now. Besides, DBM is a sensation. I think the worst thing we could do here is label it as insignificant fan art.. it's available in over 20 languages!

Japan has printed over 8000 Dragonball doujinshis over the past 20 years. I seriously doubt Toriyama would even notice a new one in that sea of fancomics.

Besides, he's got a family and his own hobbies AND he still does video game art, and he's long since said he doesn't really care about DBZ anymore.

I doubt he's EVER googled "dragonball fan comic" in English, either, so unless someone close to him happened to slip him the link AND it caught his eye out of the billions of fan drawn Gokus...there's little to no chance he'd even notice DBM.

Sometimes it looks like this chapter has more than one artist.

And how the hell does oneshotting Dodoria = stronger than the Ginyu Force? Vegeta found otherwise.

[Piccolo Daimao]

at Dodoria's death. The red blood sticks out nicely there.

And how the hell does oneshotting Dodoria = stronger than the Ginyu Force? Vegeta found otherwise.

I would assume that the only people Zarbon knows that are that much stronger than Dodoria that they can one-shot him are the Ginyuu Special-Squad. Zarbon never saw Vegeta kill Dodoria.

[TonyTheTiger]

After transforming, Zarbon himself should be able to easily stomp Dodoria. So it doesn't make sense that he'd rate that accomplishment to the the Ginyu level. Granted, there's good reason to believe that Nail (is he still Nail right now?) actually is at that level but Zarbon has no reason to assume it.

Guys. Different universe. Go with it, not everything power-level wise has to match . I know it's hard not to nitpick when the dialogue goes against what we're used to, but just try to keep that in mind when comparing tiers.

[TonyTheTiger]

Eh. The different universes just change based on various choices and events, not arbitrary alterations just for the sake of it. Zarbon, Dodoria, and the Ginyu should all have the same power here that they would in any other universe at this point in time as there wasn't a changing detail to skew them on a new path prior to Nail's fusion. The whole idea is that U7 was exactly the same as U18 right up until the decision to fuse and only then do the changes begin. It's not a big deal by any stretch but it does seem like an minor oversight.

Granted, there's good reason to believe that Nail (is he still Nail right now?) actually is at that level but Zarbon has no reason to assume it.

But even transformed Zarbon may not be able to easily one-shot Dodoria like Nail did. Or at least, he may not think he can.

Anyway, it's merely a comparison, perhaps to give the audience a good idea of Nail's strength. I wouldn't look too deeply into it.

Personally, I don't think the Ginyus are going to be showing up if Gast kills Zarbon and Freeza here, although I don't think he's strong enough to take on Freeza yet.

The Ginyuu Special-Squad probably wouldn't even know about Freeza's death, let alone Freeza going to Namek for the DBs in the first place, if they're not monitoring him on their scouter, and would only learn about it if they tried to contact Freeza or vice versa before his death. They technically work under Freeza, but I don't think they're really part of his main army, since Vegeta had only heard rumours about them and they were en route to conquering Yardrat, so I think it's likely that Freeza would rarely call them and only for really important jobs (judging by Zarbon's reaction).

I guess you could even treat them similarly to mercenaries, but they're only employed by Freeza.

I hate these throw away lines that characters seem to randomly shout during battle that we're instantly supposed to believe. It happens in the series, too (the most recent example is Goku claiming that Hatchi-hyack was stronger than Broli). "Current Villain must be stronger than Previous Villain because of this one isolated example that you can in no way properly compare!" If this statement is true, it should go without saying as the battles continues.

It's not that I'm doubting that Nail at this point is stronger than Ginyu, but it just seems cheap and lazy when this type of thing happens.

[dprez]

haha Dodoria you suck! Zarbon your next! I wonder if Freeza will transform before he dies...

I think Zarbon is shocked at the Namkes power, and knowing that the only other warriors who could possibly do that to Dodoria so easily, aside from maybe his transformed self, are the ginyu squad. The whole ladder of the most powerful warriors out there go through this group, so it's not like it doesn't fit for him to make that comparison.

[rereboy]

I'm sure Zarbon is experienced enough to notice when someone just casually kills someone without actually using a great deal of his/her power, even if he doesn't sense Ki.

Its true that Vegeta killed Dodoria with a single blow, but he put much more effort and a much more larger percentage of his power into his attack than this Namek used on his.

[dprez]

I'm sure Zarbon is experienced enough to notice when someone just casually kills someone without actually using a great deal of his/her power, even if he doesn't sense Ki.

I figured the same thing.

I still hold true to my initial belief that we will see our universe's Vegeta face off against this super perfect, super strong Zenkai Cell, and this will be the first Ssj3 Vegeta sighting of this manga.

If I wasn't already (inappropriately) attached to this avatar, I'd totally used that.

If we assume that Nail was at 40,000 in power level, then fusing with the Elder would surely put his power much higher, I bet in league with Captain Ginyu. Remember all of Piccolo's fusions. The fact may be that Zarbon's observation is indeed correlated to his knowledge of Ginyu's power.

[Gyt Kaliba]

HA! I have to admit it. I love this page.

'Do you know my power? It is of - *WHACK*'

[TonyTheTiger]

Are we sure the DBZA staff hasn't kidnapped Salagir?

[jjgp1112]

lmao, glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of Abridged while reading that. That was something right out of their book

[Piccolo Daimao]

If we assume that Nail was at 40,000 in power level

You mean 42,000.

I love Nail's no-nonsense attitude. It's a nice change from other scenarios where the character is clearly enraged at his opponent who has killed his brother or something, yet still lets them power up or toys around with them, rather than just finishing them off.
