Not quite. 10 years after Raditz puts it post-Cell Saga, pre-Buu Saga. But yeah, closer to Buu than Cell.

Hm. A pair of bigger feet and smaller feet. Bigger feet are wearing shoes like future Trunks, which came from Capsule Corp. Is this Bulma and Socks?

Cue Yamcha coming in from behind.

Japanese actually has two different types of "that": one for referring to something near the person you are talking to (それ), and one for referring to something that is not near you or the person you are talking to (あれ).

It’s because the technique doesn’t cause damage, it causes the sensation of feeling severely ill. But Nappa keeps fighting the same regardless of how shitty he feels. 2 Replie(s)

On one hand, they had nine more years of training than in the canon Saiyan saga. On the other hand, it was without Kami's guidance and training facilities.

And the Ginyu Force. Which is why they're Freeza's strongest minions.

Bulma canonically made a special bullet with the intent of it being used to assassinate Black. Mai may have just used that.

Not quite. We saw Frost struggle enough to dodge the bottle.

It's apparently the signature move of the main character of Legend of Heavenly Sphere Shurato. However, I haven't seen the series, and I wasn't able to locate any images or videos of Shurato actually using it.

It's a reference to Dragon Ball. In the first story arc, after forcing Oolong to join the group, Bulma feeds him a candy that gives him diarrhea whenever she makes a certain noise so that she can punish him whenever he refuses to yield to her demands. Vegeta is making said noise in this comic. 1 Replie(s)

A red glove. The only Dragon Ball character I can think of with red gloves is Lord Slug, and those are usually portrayed as orange. Although Janemba does have red hands. But this comic tends to lean for being as screwy as possible, so I'm going to guess Monaka.

Dragon Ball Daima begs to differ...

My running theory has always been that the present androids flat out weren't stronger than the future androids. The present androids just weren't holding back.

We know that the androids' ki cannot be sensed (except for Cell), making it impossible to tell how strong they are by sensing their ki. We also know from the future trunks flashback chapter that 17 was holding back against Gohan in their fights. In the manga, Gohan trained until he was strong enough to defeat what he thought was 17's upper limit, only for 17 to reveal he'd only been fighting at half strength the whole time. There's no reason to believe they weren't doing the same thing to Trunks.

They're just sound effects.

Maybe it's Goku Jr.? Or Goku III? Or Goku IV? Or Goku VIII?

It’s Godzilla!

Looks like it. Although it would be funnier if they built a sand castle on him.

And Misa has the Byakugan.

Patrick seems to be enjoying this almost as much as Koopa-sennin.

And then the moon was made of cheese.

Turn into candy!

So they had Elder Kai unlock everyone’s abilities in preparation for this, right?

Logically, with Vegeta as beat to shit as he is, Kakarot in possession of super saiyan 2 and immortality, and Raditz now augmented to an unclear degree, the two of them should have a chance. But it would be a struggle that could go either way, not a one-sided stomp, and the chapter doesn't have enough pages left to properly convey that. As such, I'm expecting the fight to be skipped entirely, with the next page cutting to Raditz and Kakarot's heads on pikes, as that is both less satisfying than them managing to overcome Vegeta and a cheap joke playing off the last panel of this page.

And then hopefully the page after that will be Elder Kai ending his divination with the realization that this plan isn't going to work and that he needs to come up with something better. ...Or the Elder Kai waking up, having fallen asleep mid-ritual.

Quick Tambo! Eat him!

"This apple is clearly poisoned." *Eats it anyway.*

Go Bra! Kick her ass!

Well, now I'k'l has a choice: drop the time freeze so the Namekian healers can save his life, or die from his wounds.

...Or reveal he has regenerative abilities.

It's Yamcha's signature technique. Not the Wolf Fang Fist, but his second signature techique, the Spirit Ball... which was created right around when Yamcha was reduced to a joke, and is thus much less memorable than Wolf Fang Fist. It doesn't help that it looks like a regular ki blast.

Yes. Katchin was introduced as the hardest metal in the universe in Dragon Ball Z. An even harder alloy, Kachi Katchin, was introduced in Super, with the justification that it was introduced in a different universe.

Well, yeah. That's the key to Yamcha pulling off a victory: nobody can ever believe he did it. I'k'l killed Vegetto, arguably the strongest person present, in a single blow, while Yamcha lost in his first round. All the witnesses are unconscious. Nobody will ever believe this one.

Edit: Well, Cell might, but he's clearly pretending to be frozen at the moment. 1 Replie(s)

I don't know if this is a ploy, but Yamcha likely isn't dead. Even ignoring the power difference between them, he's his universe's #17, and #17 has a barrier.

Something something something ki aura extending over clothing.

Oh, good, we do get his name. He's dead at this point, but at least we got it.

It’s about making sure he goes right through Wal… wait. Is this guy Raditz or Waluigi?

…I can’t find any references to his name in the comic.

Either way, it’s about Piccoshi making sure he kills Bros Goku, too. 1 Replie(s)

Clearly they pay for the privilege of being Frosties's minions.

Why wouldn't Mafuba be an option? Piccolo and Kami both knew how to perform it. 2 Replie(s)

The Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z is actually Piccolo Jr, who is the reincarnation of his father. If Yume pulls a jackass genie interpretation (which I do not particularly expect it to do), we could see a return of King Piccolo. 1 Replie(s)

Vegeta’s plan: Play dead a second time to catch Kakarot off guard.

What’s about to happen: Vegeta wakes up to being healed by a Namekian after passing out while “playing dead.”

Watch the next page reveal that the crack noise was Goku's elbow breaking.

There was Goku vs. Vegeta (Saiyan Saga, Dragon Ball Z), Goku vs. Vegeta (Majin Buu Saga, Dragon Ball Z), Goku vs Baby Vegeta (Baby Saga, Dragon Ball GT), Goku vs. Commeson Vegeta (Superhuman Water Arc, Dragon Ball Super), Vegeta vs. Goku Black (Goku Black Arc, Dragon Ball Super), and Goku vs. Vegeta (Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero).

Except Goku vs. Baby Vegeta happened decades ago and isn't canon anymore anyway, Commeson Vegeta wasn't actually Vegeta, Goku Black wasn't actually Goku, and the Goku vs. Vegeta fight in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was riddled with rules where neither could use their full power and we cut away from the vast majority of the fight anyway.

So yeah, no recent satisfying Goku vs. Vegeta fights. 2 Replie(s)

Goku collapses from exhaustion, Vegeta gets declared the winner, only for it to be belatedly discovered that he's dead on his feet.

Piccolo beatdown incoming.

Calling it now. The next "Chibi Son Bra Did Her Best" comic will be this scene, but with Goku and Vegeta accidentally kissing instead of headbutting. 3 Replie(s)

Goku's right eye is swollen shut. Vegeta's left eye is also swollen shut.

Goku punched Vegeta in his left cheek. He'll still be able to see.

But Vegeta just punched Goku in his left cheek, right under his eye. Goku's going to be continuing this fight blind.

Which wouldn't be a problem if they still emitted ki, but the whole point of this form is that it doesn't.

Why not? Team Four Star Cell was horrifying. 1 Replie(s)

Calling it now. Vegeta fails to dodge, but takes a wound that isn't instantly lethal, then kills Goku when he lets his guard down, before also dying. This takes both of them out just in time for the next bit of tournament fuckery, this time from Vegetto.

Considering how small Goku made that beam, Vegeta should be able to avoid it by leaning to the side. Assuming he manages to react at all.

Isn’t he stealing Goku Black’s naming scheme now? Better switch it to Spanish to make sure it’s different enough.

Oh, right. They've got a backup Goku to zenkai into another Vegetto. Fight might not be over.

So, think she’ll start her rampage back up now that Vegetto is dead?

Oh, we’re doing names? How about Sparking Saiyan?

Quick! Do the chicken dance and fuse into Vekarota!

Clearly Vegetto is upset because they made anti-Vegetto transformations, in which they dramatically increase their strength while completely hiding their ki. Maximum power stealth mode. And he’s not going to get to fight them because he already lost.

To be fair, he did just get kicked in the head.

Bra’s clever plan: “I need to attack from a distance. I need to charge my power instantly, then point my finger and blow him up.”

Nah. Gast is going to psych himself out, conclude the fight is unwinnable, and raise his hand with the intent of giving up… and then Bra will point her finger at him and blow him up. Followed by puppydog eyes and Pan apologizing to her for being mean.

Weird. It doesn’t look like she’s actually enjoying the cookies. More like she’s eating them so nobody else can have them.

Is it? I could see a band of pirates agreeing to make the guy who can blow up and kill everyone on the ship into the leader. Especially if that means they get to dump all the boring administrative crap on him.
