What the authors don't seem to get is that we care far more about cool fights than we do about the lore of the universes.

IT's literally filler so they can keep up the illusion of bi-daily page releases.

I can't confirm since I haven't seen the movie, but it looks like the explanation to time travel in the movie "Primer"

Edit: In Multiverse, it appears there is a Namekian dragon who speaks English, which means they should be glad that Frezia didn't get to that Universe.

Immortality isn't invulnerability, though. Frieza could've very well ended up still fighting SSJ Goku and spending the rest of his immortal existence as a half an upper body.

Or cubes of meat sliced up by Trunks' sword.

the namekian dragon can speak english it just won't respond to it.

E: the dragons probably don't even speak any languages and are just polyglot or whatever

The only confusing thing about Primer is how a single film can have characters as boring and bland as Abe and Aaron, despite the fact that they're constantly trying to backstab each other through bullshit time travel shenanigans.

Also the art doesn't seem offensively bad to me so far, nothing like the other Bojack special. :gonk:

I don't understand how turning back into a little boy didn't just drop his power level to when he was a boy to begin with. Wishing he was a boy that's still able to benchpress galaxies still isn't a great idea.

Maybe he got physically weaker, but he still has all his knowledge of ki manipulation techniques and can still go super saiyan.

The only reason I can plausibly think why we haven't seen any of that yet, might be because it's plot later.

Maybe. I feel really spoiled after the last filler arc looking like something out of Spawn.

Already is, mofo. His wife doesn't really age, his kid is adorable, he lives comfortably on a pile of money his wife totally obtained legitimately, he's a kickass dad and the strongest human on Earth. gently caress you Tien.

Really, the fact that Krillin got away with naming the baby of Android 18 Lazuli after his ex-girlfriend is probably the biggest sign that Krillin doesn't fear death.

I don't know who that is.

Personally I don't mind the filler too much as long as it doesn't go too long, it explains some of the character dynamics and probably gives the main artist a chance to take some time off or get caught up, too.

Two things I wished were in the Multiverse but are 6 years too late to complain about are a universe where Turles did kill Goku and then spent the next 30 years or whatever just planet-hopping and devouring Tree of Might fruit and a universe where Freeza did care about training to the degree of Vegeta (maybe reached the fifth form and killed his brother and/or father), since discussions about him and his family always include "well yeah he's freakishly strong because he's literally a genetic freak, he doesn't train at all".

Apparently the filler ex and daughter sharing the same name was because of some sort of pun with Krillin's name that both Toei and Toriyama came up with independently.

Speaking of Filler was Chi-Chi being an over-protective parent and having low temperament an exaggeration in the anime or was she always like that to begin with?.
