You know, I really didn't care much for Snower, but now I like him.
Smart villains using all of the means in their disposal are interesting.

And then Slug spent the next 133 billion years invading the rest of the universe. Even with magic FTL travel, it's a big place.
I will never forgive DBS for the absolutely regarded line of "Oh, yeah, there are only 28 planets with intelligent life." Small Empire you have there, Freeza. 3 Resposta/es

Yamoshi the Super Saiyan God folds like a wet noodle to post-healing tank Namek Goku.

Don't grab the tip, Vegeta...

Hologram training room I see. With an SSJ Goku.
Just what is going on with this timeline. 1 Resposta/es

This entire timeline is one hell of a pretzel if Freeza is still alive, Goku is... somewhere, Red Ribbon Army is kicking around and Dende is Kami.

What the hell happened. 3 Resposta/es

Vegeta can't have a win even in his own stories. 1 Resposta/es

The reflection on his eyes makes it look like he is staring at two different directions. 1 Resposta/es

Goku would have survived the detonation, but no planet means no air so he suffocates.
Freeza was completely out of Ki and survived. That's why it's an insane feat.

Senzu time. The story ends now otherwise.

If I don't remember completely wrong, Cell didn't have the techniques due to the DNA, but because he was conditioned by the computer by repeatedly showing him battles and techniques of the fighters he was composed of. 1 Resposta/es

Super Freeza jumpscare.

Seriously? That's it?
How utterly disappointing.

Nah, this is bullshit. U18 Vegeta should have seen that coming.

Damn, Videl was a really ugly baby. 2 Resposta/es

There is also the problem that Vegeta can't feel the Ki attacks until they are right in front of him due to the life-stop. Normally he'd be able to feel the attack without seeing it.

The logistics of this fight are an absolute nightmare. Vegeta can't leave the bubble, and is stuck at guard duty. That Namekian gets hit, and its instant game over for our heroes here.
Ranged Ki attacks will likely just fizzle out outside of the protective bubble, and 18's energy attacks might still actually work as they lack Ki.

Only thing likely protecting them will be 18 not understanding how they are moving, as the bubble of life-space is invisible.

You literally cannot cut his skin. The passive Ki-reinforcement means that his skin is stronger than any mundane metal.
They are immune to bullets. If they are immune to bullets, there is no chance in hell a regular non-magical knife is going to cut him.

The most glaring difference is that U18 Vegeta is truly happy. U13 will never fill the void inside himself.

"What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?"

This goes hard as fuck. Cosmic scale eldritch horror always hits the spot.

He needs to stun it first to disable the wall.

He is going to blow up Cell, Cell is going to regenerate and then be immune to the trick.

Broly only achieved "LSSJ" in the movie after clashing with Gogeta in the dimensional space. He bulked up and his hair changed to lime green. It was a more of a warm tone than OG Broly, who had a very cold feeling to his LSSJ form.

We here. Don't you know that because we treat DB as fiction, we outrank the setting's dimensionality by several tiers and we can scale ourselves into high-outerverse level?

Oh, damn. Gero looking mighty gentlemanly.

What happened? Why did he degenerate into a creepy wanker?

In the game 21 was a bio-android that incorporated bits of Majin Buu. She was essentially a Majin, and could transform people into sweets and absorb their power by eating them. She had an evil split personality that was the main antagonist of the game.

Buu hasn't arrived to Earth yet in this timeline, so she should just be a regular android.

Agreed. This is a disservice to Vegeta and his character growth.

Also it's a shit argument. "Oh, don't worry, this guy won't murder your friend, but that is only because he is under constant watch by people stronger than him."

It's even worse because it's the Gohan WHO KNOWS THIS VEGETA who says it. 1 Resposta/es

You could just have an off-panel author note that Piccolo can't duplicate, instead of breaking the forth wall in an unfunny way in middle of a serious situation.
Marvel humor is a cancer. 1 Resposta/es

Should IT even work? Ki doesn't exist outside of the protective bubble, so how is Goku able to transmit himself via Ki somewhere where Ki doesn't exist? 1 Resposta/es

You are being obtuse on purpose? You literally purposefully ignored the "large" part of his comment so you can focus on how stupid it is for Gohan to carry around capsules because he can lift planets.
In case you haven't noticed, many different kind of objects exist that are not too heavy for people to carry, but they are simply too large to carry around casually. The problem only gets worse with super-strength.
Capsules allow you to store a car in your pocket. Why would anyone NOT have capsules with them?

XXI is going to double-die.

Piccolo literally pulled a counter-technique out of his ass. There was no reason for XXI to assume anyone besides the androids would be able to move, let alone revive already frozen people.
Never mind that XXI really isn't that bright of a mastermind. He pulls all of his plans and techniques from his pet dragon. Only reason this plot can even exist is because the Kais are horrifically retarded and refuse to do anything sensible.

When Vegeta tried to blow up Fat Buu with his sacrificial blast, he used up every single shred of Ki in his body and died. His body turned into what looked like brittle stone, which then fell down and shattered on the bottom of the crater. That's what this weird anti-life technique does to everyone. Their Ki-empowered flesh is turned into completely mundane inanimate matter.

Everything is essentially turned into inanimate matter without any Ki. Which means they can be shattered easily, as Ki is the root of all of the power in dragon ball.

So, uh, how is Cell supposed to survive that again? This one doesn't have Freeza's cells, he can't survive in space. 1 Resposta/es

Ngl, this is kind of ass. Couldn't Goku have had at least gone for an attack and XXI only do the timestop a microsecond before Goku would have punched him in the face? 1 Resposta/es

What an absurd letdown.

Chilled is nowhere near Freeza's level. Cold's family is abnormally strong.

Chilled is probably like 100k-200k power level at maximum.

Vegetto is supposed to be wary of magicians because of the shit they can pull, but now he's going to eat this evil looking bean anyway?

If he eats that thing I will lose all hope of proper character writing.

I feel like his body structure should be a bit different. Namely, his ears, as the bare hole-like structure is clearly inherited from the Frost Demons.

But really great job with the design. You managed to nail the colors perfectly.

Humor is supposed to be funny and in good taste when you talk shit about the audience or your friends.

This is neither. It feels incredibly bitter.

How about you don't mock the readers who point out how shit doesn't make sense? 4 Resposta/es

Yes.

Vegeta can casually bust a planet during the Saiyan saga. The Viltrumites can't.

They only seem so staggeringly strong because they are literally the top dogs of the verse power wise, and the physicality of their power is portrayed better than in DB.

Lmao, forgot about the meme. You get a serious answer anyway.

I've never understood why Roshi doesn't just develop his own flight technique from scratch. Would he refuse to walk if Crane had figured out that first?

Broly is immune to everything unless the plot demands it. Then anything can defeat him.

Nah, this wouldn't work due to DBM Broly plot armor. He would just yell very loudly and the spit would die from his maximumest power. 2 Resposta/es

"How wanked do you want your Broly?
"Yes."

Good god. At least it's finally over and we can hopefully move on to something that makes a modicum of sense.

Inb4 the match ends before Gast is consumed because he's been out sight from the organizers for 30 seconds, while XXI has not as he's the cloud.

Oh, look. EXACTLY WHAT I SAID HE WOULD DO. Piccolo acting out of character for the sake of allowing this piece of shit to ruin things a second time.

Tune in for part two of Piccolo fumbling like an idiot! 1 Resposta/es

Oh, look. He's already planning to come back because Piccolo didn't finish the job and let him go. Any suffering due to this is Piccolo's fault.

I have specifically explained the problem and why it's bad. I'm not going to sugarcoat the criticism I have when none of it has been directed to the writers in any shape or form. When a character is acting stupid, I'm going to say that the character is acting stupid.

During this entire arch Piccolo has been constantly on the back foot and it's been a bit underwhelming because of that. I can mostly ignore that, but where I draw the line is characters acting stupid or out of character. And this is vastly out of character for Piccolo, and not something he would ever do. He has always been practical with his enemies and goes for kill shots. Letting obviously evil people go was Goku's flaw that happened to work out in the end due to pure luck. You could argue that Goku had a terrific sense of people's true characters, but even then he tried to let Freeza go multiple times, and we know what would have happened if there was no Super Saiyan to stop him. It's even explicitly portrayed as a flaw in this very continuity, as the Ginyu-King Cold timeline had Goku drop the ball by trying to show Freeza mercy when he could have killed him while Freeza was still in his third form. This allowed Freeza to transform into his final form and one-shot Goku. I did not voice a single complaint about this, as it's in-character for Goku, and matches his Canon behavior. No matter how stupid of a thing it was in-universe.

This literal side-story has people letting an evil bastard go and he returns later to ruin everything. The story itself is lampshading that this is extremely stupid. Here we have a literally immortal demon who will return one day. Anyone reading this comic knows he will return one day. They are literally letting him leave and lick his wounds, train some more and then try again at his leisure.

Piccolo would not let him just leave. He might not be able to kill him, so what Piccolo should be doing is figuring out a way to imprison him. Considering that he has personally been sealed by Mafuba for centuries, it's horrifically out of character for him to just go "welp, he is immortal, so I guess I'll just tell him to not come back and let him go and hope for the best". Sealing the evil is a can is the proper way of dealing with immortals. By letting him go Piccolo is endangering everyone on Namek and Earth, as Bracaa is now aware of Earth's dragon balls. He is literally lumping his problem for the future generations, as Bracaa will never die. If Bracaa goes on a rampage and kills the Kais of the universe a million years from now, that is on Piccolo for letting him go.

Everyone has sniffed a bunch of glue now and thinks letting this literal demon leave is a good idea.

Good god. They know he is coming back the second he has regenerated. Piccolo knows he is coming back. They always come back. Even if he is not coming back soon, he WILL come back when Piccolo is old again.

Everyone has turned into a damned idiot. Letting people go was Goku's flaw. Piccolo never did this and never would do this. 1 Resposta/es

God damn it, when will the character assassination stop?

Piccolo would never do this. He would look for a way to permanently put Bracaa out of business, either via sealing or undoing the immortality somehow. 1 Resposta/es

Whatever those shards are, they are melting and invading his body.

Sigh. When will this end?

Ah, so something contaminated the Saiyans and made them evil.

sigh. Another L.

I wish Piccolo was for once on top of the fight in this comic.

It's literally been nothing but a constant downhill of L's with no end.

Can Piccolo stop being out-of-character idiot for two damn seconds? This is horrible.

Piccolo is supposed to be a genius. Yet here we have him written to:

1. Reveal that there is a set of dragon balls active on Earth.
2. Piccolo is in fact, not capable of escaping being stoned, and the only way he was revived was by using the dragon balls.

Good job, idiot. Bracaa will now try to spit on you.

Just let this end already. 3 Resposta/es

Good old rubber torso reference.

Pah, lame. Everyone was calling out that Vegeta was going to body the brothers next panel, yet it still somehow managed to disappoint.

inb4 next panel Vegeta blitzes them and insta-dead.

Might also be that there isn't anyone strong enough on Earth at the moment. Goku had Piccolo, Vegeta and his family to home into, who are all ridiculous power houses.

That's fucking absurd. An eldrich abomination managing to break down god-tier magic via unknown means is infinitely better than Elder Kai having plot convenient dementia and forgetting crucial information. ANY plot point or explanation that only works if a character is inflicted with a 5 trillion ton idiot ball is horrible writing. 1 Resposta/es

>"Multiversal travel technology only works if we use it!"

This is so fucking dumb and a horrible plot device. Come on...

This shouldn't make sense because the dragons need a permission to be able to perform magic on beings stronger than them. Bracaa obviously gave a permission to make him immortal, but I have a feeling he's going to refuse if they try to take it away.

The artstyle is reminding me of something, but I'm not sure what it is.

Especially that Kakadiz face on the last panel.

Well that was anticlimactic. What was that?

Dude just decided to jar himself. True desperation.

What is Tambo supposed to do? The dude is immortal.

Unless you're telling me that Tambo is going to pull an anti-immortal technique out of his ass now.

Pulling a "look, the villain isn't dead yet" here would be absolutely idiotic at this point. 1 Resposta/es

I am not seeing any way out of this hole without an asspull or Piccolo being cured of his dementia and remembers that Mafuba is a thing.

Which would be kind of boring because everyone has been commenting about Mafuba the moment since the dude showed up.

He should be, without a doubt, 100% dead here.

Cue the asspull.

Is he stupid? Why is he lamenting about having his hand forced when he was already going to murder the kid?

I can't believe that people are just flat out believing Kai here when he says Raditz is not strong enough. Is it not obvious enough that Kai is lying to Raditz so that he'll use the potara?

Dude thinks he's the king of the world and he's acting cocky because he knows the basic flight technique.

Mouth beam next page. Or literally just jumping.

Break his arms and legs and see if he's still so cocky.

I can't believe that the writer seriously made them forget that he's immortal. 2 Resposta/es

Lmao he was so full of himself but he doesn't know about the giant monkey.

Guys, he's immortal. Please tell me you didn't forget...

I swear to god if one of them gets turned into a donut next page...
