Where when why did people start using the term job?

A long time ago in pro wrestling because it meant you were taking a loss to get paid aka doing your job.

It also has connotations of losing real bad or doing it regularly. Like, Vegeta didn't job to Goku in the Saiyan Saga.

Jobbing in wrestling is generally done to have the newest bad guy look really strong, so in that sense Vegeta is a very good jobber.

I wish she didn't job immediately

In fairness, it sounds like there'll be a whole episode of her running around tearing poo poo up before Jiren puts her down. Also, the spoilers don't necessarily say she gets knocked out of the ring, just that Jiren defeats her so she might not be completely finished after the episode.

We know from a scan that she has a non-berserk Super Saiyan form, so she can't get knocked out until we see it, logically.

Multiverse had a few neat ideas. Like I think its cool that the "Frieza Wins!" universe happened because Krillin ignored Goku and killed Vegeta on Earth for example.

OTOH there's a lot of chapters where the big change in the story is just the villain winning a beam struggle or whatever. There's also a million chapters about Bojack for some reason.

I think the most pointless one was Future Gohan somehow soloing the Buu saga because Babidi was a complete moron. Like most "specials" are pretty bad but that one stands out as especially pointless.

Like honestly with multiverse, the specials happen and you kinda just ignore them, wait until the comic comes back off hiatus and then powerread whatever's happened.

There are some honestly good ones though, I like the noire-esque Ghast arc they did a while back.

But mainly you're reading because you were hooked during the Dragonball drought before super got good and because the art is pretty fantastic.

Yorkshire Tea posted:

He trained with Frieza and got hench.

DBM is hilarious right now. So some fans won Cameos for the original characters in DBM. They tried to trap Videl and got the poo poo kicked out of them.

The tears are amazing. "There's no way my (and I'm not making GBS threads you) Mage/Pokemon character would get chumped by an earthling as weak as Videl!"

Goddamn the DBM team deserve a medal for doing this.

quote:

LSSJG Kor Saiyajinkami
Okay I think now I'm kinda glad that I didn't win the contest to have my OC in the comic because I would've been pissed to have him both under Majin control and to have him lose to Videl seeing as my character is to put it bluntly is an extremely powerful genetically engineered Saiyan that is kinda like Cell and far outclasses Beerus-sama. Yeah I know he's a Mary Sue, but I made him that way on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I don't just go around rekking everyone I come across with him. He has a nemesis that is well himself from a Shattered Glass Universe and the mechanics of my RP make it to where he gets nerfed to be somewhere in the same power Tier as the strongest warrior in whatever Universe he is within.

quote:

Come on DBM Team... just having a single cameo would have been better than this. I don't think we wanted to see our characters get turned into worthless villains to be beaten up by the weakest of DBZ characters. I mean, I would think any kind of Mage/Pokemon would have a chance at beating Videl in a 4v1 scenario. Guess they didn't give him any powers whatsoever to be on par with the other 3 human characters. Would have been a ton cooler to see him assist Babidi in Magic or have helped the Z-fighters in someway and not been Majin'd at all.

quote:

The Delphox has powers of his own and is a fighter, but, I don't think the DBM team decided to give him those powers based on how he's been portrayed so far. Videl is tough, but she wouldn't be able to beat his magic if he had actually used it.

Anyways, most of us are just dissapointed because of how they were all pretty much set up to fail while anyone who didn't win is having a feild day with it, and it's not even the characters' fault to begin with. We just expected to have our characters innocently be in the crowds , but they get mind controlled into being beaten up. Kinda sucks =/

Feels like being Contest Losers rather than Contest winners

Spoilers from discussions of currently unaired episodes (wtf?): Why does everyone assume Krillin is about to kill someone accidentally? All I see is that he jumps to 18's rescue, "but then..." Am I missing a source somewhere?

I'm fine with Gine, but the story she's in bugs me, since I find the story of bardock ova to be way more interesting. Bardock's better when he's clearly a selfish rear end in a top hat, not some superhero that they later tried to turn him in to.

I just can't see him having a nice family life with Gine.

Toriyama did not make the Story of Bardock, and it honestly kind of shows. It's darker than anything he ever has done before or since, and what he came up with in Dragon Ball Minus fits far better with his personal taste and tone
