Man, a telekinetic or magical attack that just bursts one's heart is freaking efficiently brutal. The Goku vs Vegeta match was probably so over done to make up for this.

My boy Cell the wildcard!

Nice to see Trunks and #16 catching up.

Never been a fan of the whole definate 'core' thing everyone gets hung up about, seeing as how Goku blew off Cell's upper body.

"I told him to eat my cursed bean and he actually did it! The absolute madman!"
I wonder if this is purely emotional manipulation or if it's got shadow wizard magic infused in it.

If you count the small version (prototype?) Vegeta used against Recoom, twice.
As for with Cell, I believe Toriyama was using Vegeta and Trunks to illustrate that you CAN overpower Cell, but you'll need a lot more than just that.

As I minor authority on the matter, this design for Cell and the art in general are fantastic.

To be fair, the ki overpowering magic examples in DBM (Vegito) suggest the spit might just fail to affect Broly.

I'm sorry you have to live within the Dragon Ball multiverse, Yajirobe. You'd be king in nearly any other manga.

Good to see #16 hasn't been obliterated. Their dragon balls properly can't "resurrect," him either.

I dunno guys. Bra feels like crap for her fall and now the wish she PROMISED is in jeopardy. Going with a tournament official (the no-nonsense one to boot) is actually a great idea.
This diplomacy seems like the only reasonable choice, for someone's limited in-multiverse perspective.
Frankly, I need to see more cracks in XXI's facade.

Despite my personal preferences, I'm loath to admit that the Goku vs XXI final match is more thematically appropriate than say, Vegeta or Cell.

Examining Bra in hindsight, it's probably not healthy to grow up without an appreciation for the supposed permanence of death...

The zigzag line work in the 1st panel was used to great effect.

Well, Buu was allowed to steal the armor of another universe. Is XXI allowed to "steal," an opponent? They're fine with vaporization but I wonder if they'll care about this distinction. 1 Replie(s)

Its nice to reread this and know Yamcha is coming from a place of instead of just simping for the cute girl.

Beautiful! Sorry, Gast but my money's on XXI.

Let's beat his army then break his limbs! Maybe they can just keep evaporating Bracca until he's ineffectual/traumatized.

Ah, beautiful space.
I always remembered thinking that their energy auras would retain a decent amount of breathable, pressurized atmosphere. 1 Replie(s)

Well, there they went. Sad to see one of my favorite universes ejected so quickly. Hopefully the last page doesn't have too painful a cliffhanger.
Art was a little weird at first, but I appreciate the detail & expressiveness. The last several pages went really hard.

Ah, the baby Orc dilemma. As a recent father, the thought of a dying baby fills me with a profound sadness. That said, I'd probably still advocate death for DBM's baby Broly. The Z movies don't convince me that he's hopeless, though.

I miss seeing Zen Buu truly intrigued with this tournament.

"Wow, that pothole came out of nowhere, eh? Anyways, I win."

Hooray! A proactive kai, for once.

Android 16 thinking on last page: "If I won't get to kill a single Goku, then I'll at least watch half of one of him die."

Dabura: "But.. that's BS! This violates the conservation of mass! How!? Is he like FMA's Envy and just ridiculously Dense?! J-just where did.. the material.. come from..?"
Been loving the redone pages, color team! 1 Replie(s)

I was looking to re-read multiverse (again) while bored on break and these pages are the perfect way to do so; thank you coloring team!
Now that it's relevant again, I kinda like the impervious LSS DBM has going on but I really wish Broly wasn't mostly a mindless berserker here. I loved the shit-talking sadist from the last 1/4 of his first movie and I really hate his sequels for flanderizing him further.
I am grateful that we get so much exposure to Cell, though. Very happy with that! Now we need to worm Jenemba into here somehow. 3 Replie(s)

Well I'm decently sure one of this fan-manga's purposes was what-if fights, so bring them on! It's fun seeing the story get picked apart, then rearranged.

Just trying to list relative limits with the limited data we've got. I would list a con of a V6 engine being less powerful than a V8, for example. Since power levels were obsoleted 3/4's into the Freiza saga, all I can do is compare to others. I'd like to see how G & V compare with SS2 Bra.


Were they being dramatic for the sake of the presentation or might this be a legitimate drawback? Might be fun to see an enemy desperately try to distract/annoy them. Maybe Mr shadow wizard will Conjure up plates of food to make Goku hesitate.

These are my predictions for this new form in that the near 0% wasted energy & near 100% efficiency gives you:
•Pros: Foes can't rely on Ki detection to track you, faster movement, longer form utilization & heightened perception (don't remember if that was ever a SS perk, though)
•Cons: Its raw power can't compete w/ a fusion's SS3.
P.S. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if Cell can replicate this technique through observation. Maybe he'll off-handedly brag that he can, upsetting Vegito even further. 3 Replie(s)

Can't wait to some reactions to the action mid-fight. I want to see Cell's, the Kais', and especially Vegito's faces/thoughts.
Kinda hope that their hair sticks up SS2 style to help distinguish this new mode (but I suppose that would imply that energy is leaking).
As much as I love SS4, I can appreciate this approach. I generally love how DBM balances and gives attention to all the Saiyan forms. Interesting little tidbit about how it diminishes one's life expectancy. Could that be foreshadowing something, perhaps w/ Vegito? 1 Replie(s)
