Emperor Veggie wasn't that complex himself, but at least he was having a good time. He wasn't complex, he was literally Vegeta from the Saiyan Saga with more power and all the swagger, bloodlust and ruthlessness intact.

TriffTshngo posted:Every DBZ villain is insufferably smug. Even the ones who don't start that way turn into it at some point. You're right. It's more that Raichi's surly and smug, whereas Vegeta and such are posh/cocky/weird and smug. Some Numbers posted:He wasn't complex, he was literally Vegeta from the Saiyan Saga with more power and all the swagger, bloodlust and ruthlessness intact. Er, yeah, I agree. I was just saying that I'd take that over "GRR I SURE HATE SAIYANS also ghoooooosts."

People on the DBM comments keep mentioning that all of the dead fighters are going to be revived at the end of this round. Does anyone know what they're talking about and/or point me to a source? If it's true, Raichi loses his only gimmick and becomes completely useless.

drrockso20 posted:Wish we had more movie & other side material representation besides Broly(yawn), Tapion, and Raichi(unless I'm forgetting about some others), seriously they could go in all sorts of wonderful weird directions(like a Dr Wheelo who succeeded in putting his brain in Goku's body, and used SCIENCE!!!! to conquer his home universe, or a Super Android 18, or a Majin Garlic Junior for example) The only one you forgot is Bojack. But all of the movies/side stories are pretty well represented, except for movies 1 and 2. 1: Garlic JR (Immortality but super weakness would be interesting) 2: Dr. Wheelo (Brain in a jar) 3: Turles (Another Sayian) 4: Lord Slug (King Piccolo is already there) 5 & 6: Coola/Metal Cooler (part of Freiza's universe) 7: Super Androi 13 (They already have 17 and 18,and Yamacha is a cyborg, making himself useful) 8, 10, and 11 (Broly, but at least not Bio-Broly) 9: Bojack (defeated Pan, died to Cell) 12: Janemba (I don't think the dead could participate in this tournament 13: Tapion/Hidergon (defeated fan favorite Turtle Hermit Krillan) Side Material: Specials Bardock is there, and Racihi is there. Raichi is more interesting than the final villain of plan to eradicate the Sayians. They could have come up with some more interesting characters than the female mage team from Bojack's universe which did nothing, the super armor guys, the warrior who hasn't been born yet, and the wizard who defeated Vegetto. But they have some varied universes. I am also disappointed in the death of Emperor Vegeta, and didn't like Krillan's loss. I still think it would have been great to see a Gohan who enjoyed fighting be the strongest in his universe.

I'm still betting Gotenks will gently caress up somehow and cause Kid Buu to appear and try to reality wrap the stage, speaking of that was it ever explained why Kid Buu can somehow teleport into the afterlife?

I don't know that it was ever explained, but you could easily just say magic. Easy to forget, but Buu's not a martial artist, alien, or bioengineered martial artist - he's a genie.

I think that's everything. So we've seen Buu go crazy Frezia talk about Ginyu Gast say Stop. We haven't seen yet Vegetto go crazy/Bra Warning/Goku being confident he can beat Vegetto Piccolo with ominous foreshadowing Goku and Cell JR become best buds Gohan with broken Dragonball Cyborg Yamcha being cocky Piccolo telling Bra and Vegeta that they only live thanks to his will. King Cold get beat up bad. I wonder how Piccolo will get strong enough to intimidate Bra and Vegeta. And why does he take off his turban?

My little fan theory is that Ginyu has, somehow, made his way into King Cold's body and he will body swap with Vegitto at some stage and become the main bad guy.

I think that's more of The Great Demon King Piccolo's personality than either of the main universe's Piccolo. Maybe in his universe he absorbed Kami, which might allow him to compete with Gast for a bit.

Well, I do think that this entire comic came about as a bit of frustration at how the last tournament was handled in the Buu saga, where they leave before the highlights and only have vague joking suggestions at who would have won. Then again, we might get a bit more narrative as we go, hopefully they will keep the tournament layout the same.

We'll probably get our tournament-ending godbeast wreaking havoc backstage around the quarterfinals or semifinals, and then either the finals will be interrupted or be followed by the final fight. If interrupted, they'll probably continue right on once the godbeast is put down, but with a heaping pile of MUTUAL RESPECT between our protagonist and their opponent.

It could be like how they handle the tournament in every single King of Fighters game: Mid-tier at best warriors are the only ones who bother with the finals because the strongest guys are elsewhere fighting some badass evil overlord/strange magical entity. Maybe Tapion or Freeza's gonna win this and get a free wish because everyone else is busy trying to take down the hyper-powered VeGinyu.

Soulcleaver posted:hyper-powered VeGinyu. I seriously doubt this because Ginyu can't properly access the power of fighters who increase their ki. He couldn't even tap into enough of Goku's power to handle Gohan and Krillin. He'd likely be formidable in Vegetto's body but there are plenty of people who could handle him. Hell I bet Goku and Vegeta probably could if it's a drastic enough hindrance.

That's why That's Our Goku will beat him in the end. Who knows what kind of training Ginyu's gone through since stealing Cold's body. Isn't his the dimension where Krillin kills Vegita, and as a final result Freeza nukes Namek right when the dragonballs are used? There's still an unaccounted for Goku in space in that universe. Ginyu could have stolen that body and trained with it before holy poo poo I actually care about this plot as much as some published fiction.
