Now will we know if she's actually still alive. 1 Replie(s)

Buu must have absorbed a puppy and here we are now.

Also, isn't Goku missing the halo now? 1 Replie(s)

It was me, Dio!

I see why some people consider the possible conclusion of the Yamcha-Androids cycle as underwhelming, yet I find his outburst to be quite liberating, cathartic even. It was about time that he told them to deal with their own issues, if they are so bitter with someone who was just trying to help.

I'm confused, why does that namekian not look like Piccolo at all? 3 Replie(s)

It all makes sense but I would also add that there is a distinct moment when Mafuba became obsolete, and that would be when Piccolo (the "new" one) repelled the one used by Kami during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. After that, to my memory, it was never used again in the main canonic story, with the exception of a brief return during Super, which is in itself a bit particular and it wasn't written completely by Toriyama. Even then, anyway, most of the times it failed to achieve the desired results.

It's understandable that Piccolo lost his combat prowess with the age... the fact that he seems to have also lost all his wisdom and tactical insight is unfathomable.

Kakarot!

So, Piccolo actually doesn't know him? Guess he really cut his ties to Earth then... 1 Replie(s)

Tambo is alive!
And he's still got his tail!

...cute?

I guess he is: I believe it's a joke on the structure of Super Mario games - the 2D ones at least - where Mario can only move in one direction. The fact that Miyamoto is the one instructing him to only go straight is another indication.

I that Goky here a bit too eloquent for his standards, but I still find him more convincing and close to the "original" than he is in Super, where he became an all-round idiot. At least, here he's still a full fledged badass when it comes to fighting: that alone makes the character much, much more faithful to the one seen until the original manga ending.

I was thinking about Uub but, since Namekians are quite more long-lived than humans and Dende got so wrinkly, I'm afraid he's also dead or too old by now.

We need you, Kaioshin!

You have to help us... you have to... you have to watch!

Well, it's been almost eleven (11) years, but finally we know!


...now we have to know if he pulled a Vegeta or not, I'd like to see Yamcha win at least once, but I'm scared XD

I don't know if it's an intended reference, but it reminded me a little of the use Yamcha did of the Sokidan (or "Spirit Ball" or whatever it's called in the adaptations) against Kami during the Tenkaichi which Goku ultimately won against Piccolo.
Back then, he threw the sphere in the ground and then let it emerge to hit his opponent, this time it's a bit like he directly went the same route that once the projectile did.

I mean, if he was watching all along, he might have moved before Bracaa achieved immortality... maybe?

Looks like the same pose he takes while flying away with Uub at the end of the original Dragonball manga. The attire also looked like a direct reminder of that particular Goku, so they're two references already. 1 Replie(s)

Ahahah this was quite cunning. 1 Replie(s)

Soooooo, he's looking for the spot where the highest power level is... would that be called the Power-point?


...I'll see my way out

But Porunga just confirmed two pages ago that he made Bracaa immortal... so, either there is some other guy with the same name who has been made immortal in his stead, or it's pretty much a done deal. 1 Replie(s)

Time to get rid of the weights!


Cause he has the heavy robe on... right?

He wouldn't, especially not against Kakaroth.

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Good point, she also has the ability to visit the otherworld, so that's another way for her to learn it from some dead soul.

Well, she IS a clairvoyant, so as a bare minimum, it's possible that she knows such a magic spell exists. If she was also able to find out is another matter; also because, if she did find out when Babidi was around, she could have easily sealed Majin Buu, yet she did nothing of sort.

It would make more sense that she's bluffing, or she learnt the spell afterwards. 1 Replie(s)

Senzu beans are useless against viruses: Trunks openly stated it when he got back in time to warn Goku about the androids and his future illness, caused by a virus. That's why he also brought him the medicine that Bulma developed, which was the only way to save him.

Is Tambo gonna punch himself now?

It seems quite clear to me that Goku is trying to regain is composure and stabilizing is breathing. Whether he will be successful or not I don't know, plus Vegeta could very well be trying to do the same right now, but it seems evident that he's closed his eyes to focus, and his mouth is in the classical "breathing out" position.

By the way, I'd like to really compliment the art, which is nothing short of amazing, but I also really like the development of both Goku and Vegeta. Is particularly good to see the main character acting as the hardened warrior is supposed to be, opposite of the current official productions that sadly reverted him to a beginner simpleton.

Still, it seems too much to just assume he's dead... especially since he called, the possibilities of him managing to somehow evade or at least survive - which is what actually happen - are low but existent. What would it cost to try and contact him again?

They're both making a lot of assumptions here... and I don't know why King Vegeta should be convinced Bardock is dead, since he apparently contacted them very recently. 1 Replie(s)

Nice throwback to how Umigame got lost - and saved by Goku - at the beginning of Dragonball.

Goku managed to deflect (or split) it, but he looks wide open now...

No sweat, you can always pay in blood and bones

It's actually not encouraging when the clairvoyant is surprised to see something...

Ahahah this was very clever, and somehow it felt very "Dragonball"

Maybe it was eaten? I think somewhere in the original story they said that being in an animal's stomach would prevent the radar from detecting the ball. Or maybe it was a filler, I don't know... 2 Replie(s)

Goku. Goku would have said that, since after his first Tenkaichi.

Also Muten, of course.

Possibly a SPOILER for this special:



He was Muten's and Crane Hermit's master and the one who came up with Mafuuba (I can't recall what it's called in English, sorry) the technique which allowed him to seal Piccolo Daimao the first time. He's referred to - and very briefly seen - in the original manga as the hero who gave up his life in order to save the world from Piccolo's threat.

I understand people thinking about Ultra Instinct, yet, until now, I have the sensation it's a bit different. Plus, if you think about it, the concept is very similar to what Goku came up with in the original manga, in the Room of Spirit and Time, right before the Cell Game: to get used to be constantly in SSJ state, in order to contain the dispel of energy. Sure, if here they're both going to fight without transforming, on that regard it can look - at least visually - much more similar tu UI.

So, turn out that, if you release upon the World a magical being of pure evil, this will go on a rampage as soon as he can.
Now that's an outcome that nobody could have ever expected!

Kami will learn the Mafuuba from the humans, as he himself states right before trying to use it on Piccolo (who as you stated, reversed it on him) during the Tenkaichi. So they surely don't know it right now.

Those are evil lines!

This, and back then Piccolo already got his youth back, while Kami was quite old and presumably weaker than his prime.

That's a great idea, I'm looking forward to it!

This new Super Mario game looks neat! 1 Replie(s)

He will "try" not to let him die of old age? That'n not very encouraging...

Nobody said that the wicked part is also weak, or innocuous. A small corrupt part inside an otherwise good spirit accounts to almost nothing, give it a body by itself and that will be pure evil, as it showed eventually.

Oh, ehi, hi Lunch!

Knowing Goku, I don't think he would have stopped training anyway. And I don't expect his progress to be so insignificant. Certainly he won't have grown as much but, considering he's originally 15 when he meets Piccolo the first time and now he should be like 23 instead, I don't find it far fetched that the freshly awaken Piccolo, still in his old age, is no match for him.

A possible explanation would be that, since Piccolo didn't show up, Goku never drank the miracle water nor did he reach Kami's house (he was invited after defeating the original Piccolo, in order to prepare for the arrival of his son/clone).

Not having another master, he stuck with Muten and, marrying Chichi, they apparently go on as martial artists under the old man's guidance. It's also possible that Chichi, not having experienced the trauma of almost losing her fiance hours after finding him, is now more relaxed about living as the wife of a martial arts master, which is something she apparently didn't dig so much in the original series, despite being quite a good expert herself. Or, she could just be slightly different from the Chichi we now.

I am inclined to guess that the place has something to do with it. 1 Replie(s)

Ok maybe I missed something but why should Buu lose, wasn't Broly adrift in space, frozen? And given that Buu would release the warriors after the battle, even his survival wouldn't mean that they would find him as a contestant, while all the others would still be similar to their counterparts in U16/U18 1 Replie(s)

Since it's the same on the Italian page, I'm inclined to believe it stands for "Nota Bene", which is roughly like "Take Note". I guess in English it would just be "Note:" 1 Replie(s)

Am I the only one who got great "Time Bokan" vibes from The Great Saiyaman and Videl here?
