I dare you to beat this original character*:

quote:

Earthling "Nero Angelo"
Story: Nero Angelo is a martial artist from the Tiger-School. his master is the sage Tenma, also called "Torasennin", who was an apprentice of Master Mutaito along with Muten Roshi and Shen. Nero leanred the secret art of the Tiger School, "Taigaken". This art is focused on hitting vital points in the Body of an opponent, to weaken the opponent until they are not able to move anymore. he also can force his own ki into the enemys body on impact, which will stop their own ki build-up, making them unable to use Ki-based techniques to easily. Because of his Fighting style being focused mainly on Close Combat, he is not able to fire off Ki Blasts initially.
In the Universe he came from, Goku died during his battle with Piccolo Daimao. The earth was living under King Piccolos tyranny, and every year, when the day he conquered the world arrives, he destroyed an entire sector of the earth. many people died because of this. However, the Tiger School has hidden themselve in sector 29, the first sector that was destroyed, in order to train secretely. Master Tora didn't knew the secrets of the Mafuba, the art to seal away a demon, so their only option was to train until they were able to fight against Piccolo. after 4 years, they thought they were ready, and Nero, Master Tora and 7 other warriors form their school, stood against Piccolo. It was a brutal fight, Piccolo knew about the techniques of the Tiger School from his past and was able to evade the vital point hits. He killed off 5 of the 9 Warriors, one of them was Master Tora. It took a while, but eventually they were able to hit Piccolo and then killed him. That made god disappear as well, so the dragonballs cannot be restored. the citizens of earth were thankful, and together they rebuild the destroyed citys. However, 3 years later, Raditz came to earth. Raditz was a completely different opponent, he was to fast and so the warriors weren't able to hit him. In the end, all 4 warriors, including Nero, were killed. Enma Daio allowed them to keep their bodys for their heroesm, but that didn't meant anything to them. They were not able to save the earth, and think it is already destroyed. But after a few weeks, a fortuneteller called Uranai Baba, came to them and told them that earth was not destroyed. instead Raditz called his companions to earth. he sees potential in humans and wants the women to be vessels that bear their childs, in order to restore the Saiya-Jin Race, to which they belong. Angered Nero wishes that he could get stronger and get back to earth. And with a look into her Crystal, she says that there is a possibilitie for that to happen. A Martial Arts master called Master Kaio lives in the underworld, behind the snake way, and he could help them out. Baba told them also of the dragonballs, and that King Kai might know where another pair of them might be. They then talked to Enma Daio, and after a long discussion they were allowed to meet King Kai. They told him about their situation, that they want to be able to defeat the saiyans and about the dragonballs. King Kai knew about the namekians and contacted them. The Saiyans didn't knew about the Balls, so Freezer didn't as well and so the namekians are in no danger. and they said they are willing to this, but only 3 can be revived.
Long Story short (because of the letter limit): They trained with Kai, Nero and two others get revived, thanks to the Kaioken they where fast enough to hit the saiyans with their Ki blocking attacks and killed them Freezer noticed this, came to earth, killed the two other warriors and Nero had a death battle with him, where he came out victorious because of his intense training to use the Kaioken more efficiently. There are also some half Saiyans, as the saiyans already started their plan, but where not able to finish it. They help over a decade later against the mage Babidi. They where young, but thanks to the training with Nero they destroyed Babidi company before reviving boo. Cell and Androids never existed.

Man...i followed some links from that page and ended up at the "Love-Love Beam"

what the christ posted:

Love-Love Beam is a technique Majin Buu and his wife Miss Buu used to create their child, Baby Buu, in Age 791.[1] The two parents tore many pieces from various parts of their body, mixed them together, and birthed life into the dumpling-shaped pieces by firing the beam into it.

Oh, and need I mention that Miss Buu was expelled from Fat Buu? So its some weird half-incest half-masturbation baby.

Nope. In the original Ocean Dub of DBZ, the one that started the whole NEXT DIMENSION thing, when Nappa decided to vaporize some planes, Tien shouts that when they finish exploding.

Remember in DBZA, when Nappa blows up some planes, and the newscaster goes "HE BLEW UP THE CARGO PLANES! ...AND THE CARGO WAS PEOPLE!"? That was the scene.

Beyond the name being rather Gary Stu-ish I actually like that character history. Dude obviously put a lot of thought in to it and had the character struggle rather than just solo'ing story based villains to show off how cool he is.

Oddly enough I was wondering earlier today if Martian Manhunter would be a more fun/better match up against Goku than Superman, given that he's not dependent on specific star light to be at full strength and is basically a weird Buu/Namek fusion. Also whether Goku would ever accept he's not a Super Namekian.

To be fair he also made Oda's fanboy explode by saying that he was a fan of One Piece. And the two seemed to be very friendly it would just be like, Oda would bring up Tao Pai Pai and Toriyama would just go "Who's Tao Pai Pai?" And then be informed.

Honestly it's kind of funny that Toriyama only remembers his work be re-reading it. Because you an almost imagine like "Yes, it's Vegeta, he's had all this growth he's gonna do something and of COURSE NOT" and just slamming the book shut.
