Those specials are really the only time story actually happens. Most of the time it's fights with a little plot sprinkled in.

See also: Dragon Ball Z

Not to imply that Z isn't way better than Multiverse. Just sayin'.

Looks like SSJ3 for a Frost alien. I thought his previous transformation was ugly with all the unnecessary spikes and huge shoulder pads, but this is even worse. It's not official though, so who cares I guess.

Edit: He may still have a third that's lolpowerful but more svelte like Frieza I guess.

Nah, he made a point of powering up before he touched the ring so that Bra couldn't realize the mistake she'd made and punch him before he could finish transforming. He's touching the ring now, so he's probably done.

I would have preferred he go Gold, but he's also GIANT now, which could be interesting on its own.

The Soul Society arc is legitimately awesome and is a good example of battle shounen at its best.
After that everything is bad and Bleach is bad.

He just makes too loving many characters and forgets about some and feels obligated to give others consistent screen time even though they were never that deep and it just makes everything go on and on and on and on and on

If the editor just went "okay, you only get to focus on 5 protagonists and 5 villains per arc," Bleach would be a lot, a lot better.

Right? Like, I never really hated anyone in Bleach - aside from Aizen, but I also loved him because he was such an unrepentant, God-moding piece of poo poo -but there were just too loving many of them for anyone, least of all their author, to keep track of or get too attached to. Look how much longer the final battle with Aizen and pals needed to be just because literally every 2nd and half the 3rd string goodies AND baddies needed their moment in the sun. To bring this back to DBZ, we joke about Goku always saving the day, and that gets dull, sure, but at least it keeps things relatively focused and gets us really invested in Goku (or else we stop watching, but eh).

I assume Babadi still showed up on Earth but since he isn't frigging Goku or Vegeta Trunks just bisected him and threw the egg into the sun or something.

Would have had to deal with Dabura first. Strong as Perfect Cell, remember?

...Although, since this is Trunks we're talking about, odds are good he would have trained up a bit and gotten by all right.

Calling it now: Black Goku was the result of Goku's corpse being dug up and experimented by Gero in the future timeline. After Goku died of heart disease, Gero was all like 'poo poo no revenge I'll do one better and make him into a murder puppet'. Maybe a timelapse thing like Cell, or maybe in this timeline Gero wasn't completed destroyed by the androids, as we never really find out what happened to the 19 and 20 in that timeline (I think).

I like this idea a lot.

Too bad there's no way it happens.

Also, this filler chapter in Multiverse isn't aggressively, Bojack-level bad, but goddamn it's been going for forever and literally nothing has happened.

When Eternal GOKU was losing to DReager1's Bass due to having the power from an character who was able to behave as if they themselves aren’t apart of said fiction, and could completely bypass and defeat any fictional character. Even an omnipotent or Above omnipotent character, this person would disregard all the powers of the omnipotent since they are just fiction.

However.....

Eternal GOKU looked at all the forms in this DBAF Fanon wiki and fuse with all of it

Now.....Goku use this very powerful form to battle The bass in an epic battle in the real life world

The comments' hateboner for Alternate Bra is pretty funny, but this is a little bit of a disappointing ending unless she does something particularly clever to finish Cold off.

Spiritus Nox
Sep 2, 2011

I mean, I'm pretty sure it's not technically cheating by the established rules of the tournament or Cold's bet. But it's definitely cheating in terms of drama. I can deal with it as long as Bra's finisher is cool, though. Hope she doesn't just go "lol zenkai" and beat Cold up.

Wow, I expected harsh comments but some people way surpasses my expectations.

But yeah, I agree it'd be boring if that's how she wins, I hope the writer has something up his sleeve. Counting the one she was munching on the ground, aren't those too many senzu beans to eat so quickly? Yajirobe did that once and it wasn't very pleasant for him...



Nah. Earlier chapters established that Vegito, being a hyper-powered god-fusion with a crazy metabolism, wolfs down senzu beans by the fistful. Bra, being a single person but still born from Vegito, doesn't eat quite so many but still needs more than a normal human/saiyan/person/thing.

Nah, you can totally kill - albeit with the knowledge that the deceased get wished back with the Dragonballs when the organizers get around to it. Remember when Bojack snapped Pan's goddamn neck? And Cold was all set to chop Bra into kibbles.

In DBM news, Bra's finisher is looking cool enough that I'll forgive the mild cheating it took to get there. She might be a bit of a mary sue, but Alternate Bra is still a Lady Who Gets To Do Things in (sort of) Dragon Ball, and that's neat.

Yeah whats with her Janemba-ing all over the place?

I think it's some magic she trick picked up from the Kais or Vegito. Looks like she's leaving a statue behind when she warps around, it gets hit and breaks, and the pieces glomp onto Cold and hold him in place for the final blow.
