Would anyone be interested in a fan DBGT light novel?

Post by Captain Strawberry » Fri Jan 08, 2016 6:13 am

Would anyone be interested in a fan light novel that remakes DBGT especially the Baby Arc and removes the Android arc? Though it will be replaced.

I have lots of ideas especially a new character that replaces Baby (including the name) but still a tsufurujin (Tuffle).
  • - Will not try to be a long LN

    - Goku will not be a kid

    - Set six to eight months after the Buu saga

    - I will try to make Gohan a badash

    - Redesign of SSJ4 with lore behind the transformation

    - More lore to the Dragon ball universe
- Borrowing new lore from DBS

- Try to make characters useful

Though I am good at English and drawing (not drawn for a long time though so not a pro) don't expect the best. I'm okay or decent at best. I have to use references.

If you have any questions, I'll try my best. Though I haven't thought everything out.

Any chances for any of the new characters to reach SSJ 5?

If you have any ideas let me know. But instead of a new transformation, I sort of have like a mystic SSJ idea so where you absorb those powers to your base but you look slightly different.

Why not? I'm always open to fan ideas and projects. So just how closely would it follow GT, exactly?

Guys, was Vegeta alive during the invasion of the Tuffle invasion? Or is it likely he was living during those times.

Also, I want to use a group called the "Onrions" to explain some of the plot points and plotholes of the Dragon ball series.

Err. Well... I'm not sure. Their are mainly 3 sagas I guess with their own arcs.

-Vara (a replacement of Baby but he still borrows ideas from him) but more relatable

-Android 17 arc is replaced. It's a short saga.

-Shadow dragon arc

-SSJ4 Gogeta will make an appearance

SSJ4 will be in the series but differently designed but pretty similar. Instead of actual fur, it is a subtle flaming ki that resembles fur and the hair will be a bit like vaporising subtle black flames

Goku will travel to space during the second arc of the Vara Saga.

The replacement of Baby will be an recurring character and he is a antagonist instead of a villain (well don't want to spoil it) and also their is an overarching organisation in these sagas so all the sagas are connected. And they have been involved or atleast connections with the Dragon ball z series.

King Vegeta was the one responsible for what happened to the... whatever Baby's race is called so he should be Vegeta's villain instead of Goku's and both should use Ssj3 against him.

If Baby's going to take over someone then it should be Trunks.

Don't introduce Ssj4 until the shadow dragons appear.

Have each character fight a dragon and Gogeta be the one to take on and finish the last one.

DO NOT turn Goku into a kid.

I can show you all of my notes lol so far, I haven't put everything down in my head but also it might be give a lot of spoilers...

Also I want to have comments that have throwbacks to GT lol. Like... I was expecting something more magical... like your pants/trousers being yellow/orange to SSJ4 transformation.


I want to have some characters from the DBS universe to make an appearance.

I also want to make Krillin, Tenshinhan, Yamcha be participants in the shadow dragon saga/arc. So I want them to be pretty useful.

Are you still keeping the Space travel thing looking for the DBs? Then, bring Mr. Satan along on the trip instead of Trunks and maybe have Bebi taking Goku's body and not Vegeta's.

The SDB's exist but I am thinking Vara (the replacement of Bebi) hosts a tournament for his own reasons which I will reveal. Also, the mind control will work different. Vara will posses you mind under his will through a special ring which comes from a certain place. Though he can concentrate and directly control them while his physical body is somewhere else.

I only ask because I don't know: What is the difference between a fan light novel and a fanfic?

The only really major difference between and light novel and a fanfic is that light novels are usually accompanied with some illustrations.

I'm all for it, hell if it gets a lot of followers you could even have it turned into a fan-manga. I'd like to see the redesign of SSJ4 as I loved the fur but always was confused why SSJ5 would have consistent hair and fur color while SSJ4 is black and pink. Malik of New Age picked up on this too which was great! Getting rid of the fur and replacing it with Ki is something I'd like to see. Will you be dropping the Golden Oozaru to SSJ4 transformation since you are dropping the fur? If so you could use SSJ4's design with some tweaks and call it super oozaru or something. You'd then have SSJ4 with the Ki replacing the fur, and then a transformation with fur with your own tweaks and named differently. You'd have two different branches, the Super Saiyan 1-4, and then the Super Oozaru (Or whatever you decide to call it) branch of transformations. Also SSJ3 was attained in the afterlife by Goku and the form can't be held for long and when used while alive it is rumored to drain the users life force. SSG needed other Sayains to achieve so I think SSJ4 would realistically require something like this if you are dropping the fur and Golden Oozaru thing. (Unless you come up with a way for the user to attain a new body like SSJ4 did)

I like your enthusiasm. Yeah, I have a new way I guess, like I have the idea lol. I think I am going to go with the idea as well that we get to see the transformation in first arc but like SSJG, he loses it but we will see it again.

Also, I have a way we can see the original SSJ4 appearance.

Are you okay with the SSJ4 form being introduced in the earliest arc but like the red haired transformation, he loses it but its dormantly inside him?

The writing style of a LN is not supposed to be complex and easy to understand so easy to read. They are shorter then novels.


Btw, instead of a couple of illustrations, I want to have several.

It is supposed to be fun but the aim is to rework the entire GT series and make it a lot better as GT was regarded as a not so great so great series with several illustrations in each saga.

I have lots of ideas and the name is officially called DBGT Reworks.
