Dragon Ball Multiverse

Ten-shin-han never seemed to get older in the manga. He always got the same face no matter how much time passed. It is not weird he looks younger then Kuririn now, despite being actually older. Videl is much younger then both, her age match well.

If you consider Dragon Ball Multiverse take place 10 years after the end of Dragon Ball Z, then Kuririn would be 58 years old, Ten-shin-han would be 61 and Videl 37. I guess you could say Kuririn aged poorly, but it is not out of ordinary.

Incidentally, naturally Goku is himself 57 and Vegeta is about the same age, but they don't look so because they are Sayajins. Pan would be 15 and Bra 16. Uub would be 20.

I did an Archive Binge as well. This is pretty cool I have to admit. I really liked the U9 characters since I always hated how the humans could never catch up to their Sayain counterparts. Seeing a universe where all the human characters are a bunch of badasses brought a smile to my face, although I have to say that I groaned a bit when U9 Yamcha decided to redeem an evil Android #18. But then he revealed that he was his universe's Android #17 so it suddenly made alot more sense.

It really makes me hope they do a U9 backstory.

AS pointed out on the Dragonball Multiverse page, it's funny that they made Yamacha stronger, and yet still kept his Running Gag about always meeting the strongest possible fighter right off the bat and losing his first fight.

In fact they inverted it with him being way too strong for his opponent.

Speaking of Android 18, I'm a little disappointed that Zangya is not only dead, but won't be fighting her. That's one Designated Girl Fight I've always wanted to see ever since the Budokai games.

New page.

Well, that was quick.

So the whole Bardock flashback shit is finished. After two whole fucking chapters.

It didn't even say what happened to the other Saiyans.

In other news, I have the weirdest boner.

Oh, wow, I think I forgot this existed since the whole Gotenks vs Gotenks thing. Well, good to be binging on it again.

Such a shame this had to be a webcomic. The awesomeness just doesn't work when you read it one page at a time.

What are you talking about? It has that nostalgic Dragon Ball wait to it. Want to know the conclusion to the new fight? Wait for the filler flashback to end! Which will take months!

But seriously, an animated adaption would be the shit. Especially if they got guest voice actors to voice some of the characters.

I doubt he was talking about animation. This would work better in a doujin format, where we don't get a page every few days, but a whole volume after a couple of months.

Well, the amount of time to wait would be the same, but the pacing would be less weird, I believe.

Incidentally, I really like the concept of that new fight. The last 'non direct' fight I remember from Dragon Ball was Kuririn against Chaos, so such change of pacing is refreshing. I will be quite pleased if random girl win this one. It is not like King Vegeta has that much to offer to the story in a fight, anyway (he is just a weaker version of regular Vegeta).

One thing I've noticed is that the writers are trying to change the pace of the fights. We've got two villains fighting eachother; Vegito, Gohan, and Bra fighting Super Majin Buu in space; a woman trying to defeat Evil!Goku with sex appeal; a whole lot of fights that aren't fucking Saiyans fighting other Saiyans; and now a woman who can possibly change sexes fighting King Vegeta.

I would have written some parts of the story differently, but you've gotta applaud them for effort.

Also, the new chapter page shows that the Super-Namekian and fucking King Picollo are going to star.

All of my whyboners.

Never been a fan of gender benders, even though I liked Ranma1/2.

I always saw them as still being men regardless.

Still, it's genderbent Evil!Vegeta.

There are thousands of plot ideas by that event alone.

Well, it helps to keep King Vegeta more distinct from 18!Vegeta. Which sucks, since it means he will probably actually win the battle. I can see heshe just going SSJ and kicking the girlguy ass.

Was it ever Said this Vegeta was a Super-Saiyan?

Because that would sure screw up the whole Equal Powers Strategy.

And why did she think making Vegeta a girl would make their strengths equal anyway?

Yes, he is a SSJ. This was shown back on the prologue, in fact.

I understood that the primary function of her technique was to make their powers equal. As a side effect, they also exchange sex. Or the opposite, doesn't matter. Note how she used "and" and not "therefore"(or similar) when explaining the two effects.

I more at loss why Vegeta's hair changed, but hers didn't. If I would overthink and assume it is not a stylistic choice, it would be an indication the 'body change' also effected their races, thus removing the Sayan's Anime Hair properties and, obviously crippling his SSJ. (but this is me overthinking for fun. More likely is 'cause Vegeta's hair would look ugly in a girl)

I'm actually surprised. This is the last reaction I would expect him to have.

Damn, I can practically hear the arrogance in the third panel. The art is generally pretty close to Toriyama's, but that facial expression is just perfect.

As long as Vegeta has his pride, s/he can power his/her way through anything.

As no matter what the universe, Vegeta is Vegeta.

This is fact.

Still, it's kind of odd to see Vegeta like this, after he once refused to wear a pink T-shirt because it was girly.

Of course, this is an alternate reality version, so canon can go and suck it, but it still feels odd.

This is an anime filler. Many people just ignore them (yeah, Dragon Ball Multiverse use many Non Serial Movies, but the authors mentioned they focus more in the manga then anything).

Anyhow, it's pretty obvious that Femeta (Well, for a first attempt at a Fan Nickname....It's still bad) is going to slaughter random girl/guy/whatever. Now the question is, will this be a case of No Ontological Inertia where death of the caster undoes the spell/technique/whatever, or do the authors get to have some fun with evil Vegeta as a girl for a little while longer?

Probably the latter, now that they went through so much trouble to make him a character that people might actually want to see.

First Law of Gender Bending.

Also, as I mentioned before, King Vegeta is just Regular Vegeta with fancy clothes. He is not that different to make interesting to watch. As a woman he is at last distinct.

I thought King Vegeta was a different guy, who quit earlier? Anyways, it would take more than a little Gender Bender to take out the Prince of Saiyans.

You are right, sorry. I was just trying to come with something to call the other Vegeta. I guess Prince Vegeta would be more appropriate.

Nope. Enjoy your status quo.

In unrelated events, I have finally realized that the pacing in this comic is worse than Dragon Ball. It's at Ctrl Alt Del levels now.
